In this episode of “How do you Say That?!”, it's double-trouble as Mother and Daughter voice actors Della and Abi Phillips join Mark and Sam to unpick the mystery of recording two-handed scripts, or double-headers, both together and remotely. We also ask if an agent is essential for progressing your vo career.

Script 1

A Welcome to CarShare

B We’re going to share 6 golden rules to ensure that the car sharing experience runs smoothly for all our members.

A First, before opening the doors of the car, identify any damage, interior and exterior.

B And take a photo if you spot anything.

A Second, always return your car to the location where you received it.

B If you can’t deliver your vehicle on time, extend the reservation online or you can call our team 24/7.

A When your trip is completed, remember to take your personal belongings with you and dispose of your trash.

B And always let us know if you find any dirt or trash inside your car before you start your trip.

Script 2

SFX Shuffling of papers.

SMITH It says here...hmm...that you were, uh, kicked out... for falling in love with a mortal.

JONES Oh, that...yeah. That, um, that was a thing...that happened.

Jones shifts uncomfortably in his chair.

SMITH Are you all right, Jones?

JONES Me? Ha! Yeah... Am I all right? Yeah, I just find it hard to get comfortable sometimes. I never did get used to not having the wings, you see? Throws your whole body off balance. Sometimes I trip over nothing and…

SMITH Did they love you back?

JONES pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath.

JONES Does it matter?

Abi Phillips is a multi award-winning british voiceover artist. She decided at the age of 14 that performing was was all she would ever want to do! Her enthusiastic and upbeat energy lends itself well to Promos and ads, but she also loves a challenge; anything with a bit of drama, grit or raw emotion that she can sink her creative teeth in to. She brands herself, unsurprisingly, as "the voice of a new generation".
