Janine Cooper-Marshall: The one with the Welsh Dragon on a Train!
In ep 114 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Janine Cooper-Marshall joins Sam and Mark to talk about getting commuters from A to B without confusing or annoying them, we reveal the dragon in the room, Mark just keeps tripping over a place name and how you can be too Welsh and not Welsh enough all at the same time. Plus we get excited about bubblies!
Our VO question this week is all about how you get a job on the trains (as a voiceover!), and is it tough to be in a niche?

In pursuit of the perfect bubble, David Brook strives to consistently raise the bar in terms of quality and distinction. We are one of the few South African wine makers dedicated to the art of Cap Classique. Our bubblies are serious contenders in the international wine arena - unique, sophisticated and elegant. From grape to glass, the entire process relies on meticulous attention to detail, precision timing and plenty of patience.

Janine Cooper-Marshall trained as an actor back in 1981.

She has also recorded thousands of transport announcements…
