In ep 135 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Lance C. Fuller joins Sam and Mark to talk about the feelings inside - and how you can translate them to the mic! How to respect the comedy in a script by not playing it - whether intentionally or not and how to underline points using pace without making the listener think you're underlining them! All that and a wildcard that brings an inanimate object beautifully to life!
Our VO question this week is all about how you make sure your message isn't just heard... but it's felt!
Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk
Script 1
You see, before the 1960s, healthcare was the unregulated wild west and some pretty terrible things happened... Soon, healthcare professionals realised regulation was necessary to improve the quality of care, keep patients safe, and make staff productive. So, a number of industry organisations were formed to put standards in place. That’s where we come in. We help healthcare organisations and practitioners ensure they’re compliant with those industry standards. And in doing this, we also help them get paid faster and improve their operational efficiency and prevent them from being fined or shut down.
Script 2
From studio 7H in Lolla Plaza, New York City, and in collaboration with N-A-R Studios in Los Angeles, California, I’m Mason Lane and this is Cold Case Crime Cuts. Stories inched apart, stories coaxed outside. Restoring, repainting and revarnishing faded shades of story, from first to last and back again. Stories that sing. Or have been sung. In song. Listen out for them, maybe before you listen to this. Episode 7: Smooth Criminal.
