In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Aubrey Parsons joins Sam and Mark to talk about a timeline tongue twist of a list, a vintage blast from the past, flirting over the garden fence, and a catalogue of audiobooks!
Our VO question this week is all about whether producers really are only looking for authentic accents.

Script 2
In an industrious little factory town, full of busy bees and eager beavers,
one future captain of industry is getting ready for the breakfast of champions.
Call her the Cornflake Queen.
The Hostess of Toast.
The High Priestess of the Pre-Brunch Munch Club.
But oh no!
What’s this?
Cupboards bare.
Parents bawling.
THINGS JUST GOT CEREAL!
Who can possibly rescue us from this malodorous mealtime malady?
