In ep 122 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, we depart from our usual format a little - and record as-live from One Voice 25 in London with TWO guests! Nikki Mills and Jess Lambert join Sam and Mark to read two very different scripts. We head to Wales for a battle of wills with a doctor's receptionist and get a French take on a mysterious evil character. This week the wildcard suggestions come from our studio audience.

Our VO question this week is also suggested by one of our voiceover colleagues in the audience - what tips can you give to ensure a long and successful voiceover career.

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

I went to the doctors’ surgery,

because I needed more pregabalin.

But her behind reception says,

‘I am sorry lovely… but you ain’t havin’ em!’

But I’ve used up all my packet,

things didn’t go to plan,

so I had to borrow some,

off my aunty from Cwmbran.

But her behind reception says,

‘the doctor’s cut your script in half.

She thinks you are misusing them,

doctor thinks you’re avin’ a laugh!’

I need them for my nerves I do,

It’s not like I’ve got an addiction,

Just tell the doctor, will you please,

that I NEED MY COWING PRESCRIPTION!

Script 2

She hungers for more than sunlight, chevalier. She craves the crimson nectar of life. Your blood will make her bloom in splendor. Just a taste, and she will coil around you, devouring your essence until you are nothing more than a husk, crumbling like leaves in autumn’s grasp
