In ep 120 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Martin Whiskin joins Sam and Mark to talk about why tackling telephony in new and innovative ways can delight your clients... we head into a boxing ring to get into as big a character as we can... and we tow the PG line in some of our stories!!
Our VO question this week is all about how training is the key when you want to explore new areas in voiceover.

About our guest:
Martin Whiskin has been working as a voice actor for about 5 years, having taken a left turn from 2 decades as a database manager. Before that he pierced ears, sold advertising space and packaged up newspapers. There was also a short period as a champion long jumper.
With VO training, he became fascinated with being able to produce so many different and complex emotions with his voice, claiming that up until that point he’d just used it to make stupid noises.
He loves music, comedy and knows quite a lot about 80s and 90s wrestling.
