In ep 119 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Elroy "Spoonface" Powell joins Sam and Mark to talk about jumping from character to character in an instant, we find out exactly what "Muffin Pants" really are in what Sam thinks might be the most fun script we've ever had, and Spoon brings a Barry White depth that we had to explore!
Our VO question this week is all about mindfulness... Spoon's an expert in this field and gives some tremendous tips on how you can look after yourself and protect your mental health in what can be a pretty tough industry!

Script 1
True Sight helps to treat and prevent five debilitating diseases that affect more than a billion people globally.
These are known as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and two of them are a major cause of preventable blindness around the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
True Sight works with thousands of local volunteers and has distributed more than a billion donated treatments to protect people against NTDs. They have helped to eliminate trachoma in several countries, including The Gambia, Ghana, Malawi, Benin, Mali and most recently Pakistan.
