In ep 134 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Jenna Sharpe joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to blend traditional and modern styles to create just the right corporate feel... the Superme Ruler of the Universe has her say, but what would she sound like, what would her attitude be, and how benevolent would YOU make a character like that? We also bring you Jenna's incredible elf character in the small leather workshop!
Our VO question this week is all about where you start when you're trying to create a new character for audio.

Script 1
In 1971, Edward and Isabelle Beaumont opened a small leather workshop just outside London.
He believed in things made well — and made to last. She brought vision and flair.
Together, they shaped a brand defined by balance:
Between heritage and innovation.
Utility and elegance.
Function, and the quiet confidence of beautiful design.
Today, every Beaumont & Belle piece is made with care — from timeless luggage to modern handbags. This is the story of how we carry legacy… and why it still matters.
Script 2
Child of Mars, welcome to the worlds . . .
You are about to embark upon a great journey to your rightful place upon the surface of the planet your ancestors built.
Your sweat, your blood, and that of your kin, gave this planet life. Now it is your turn to share in the bounty of mankind, to live and prosper in this new Solar Republic and pave a way for the next generation.
My heart is with you. The hopes and dreams of people everywhere rise with you. Good luck and may you and yours find joy under the stars.
