In ep 110 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Susie Valerio joins Sam and Mark to talk about what to do when a medical sounding script isn't medical, and how to approach a documentary script so it doesn't sound like all the others out there! We explore chakras, mine some gold, lose our voices and grow a long neck!
Our VO question this week is all about authenticity - and why it's so important in reels, in casting and in getting the right performance!

Script 1
The nine separate enneatypes are grouped into three clusters called triads. Each triad has one thing in common, a point of view or a feeling that they perceive the world through. Some Enneagram practitioners refer to these as the "three knowledge centres."
The triad groups represent three ways that we can process information.
People often use words like "gut," "bones," or “heart,” to describe their feelings - such as in "I know it in my…gut”. Which option they choose can be very telling.
Script 2
Drawn by the jobs and industry that gold generates, a population of approximately one hundred thousand people has grown around one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world, creating a unique living situation.
This episode explores the delicate balance between mine, city and environment. A carefully managed relationship, so that both mine and the city's inhabitants can flourish.
