In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!”, Alexia Kombou joins Mark and Sam to talk about how cool urban reads are the in-thing for ad agencies, why gaming promos can be voiced hard, and how our wildcard turns into a scouting adventure.

Our VO question this week is all about auditions - how many takes should you send, and should you slate?

We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk

Script 1

Commanders! Starting from Season Ten, every regular Battle Monthly will feature its own themed Storage. The Storage will commemorate your combat journey, give you a deeper insight into the commanders' stories, and help you earn even more Tokens for game play.

You can access the themed storage from the Chapter selection window or the game play progression.

Season Ten includes three pages. On each page, you will find customisation elements, secret documents, or commemorative items that will immerse you in the story and the combat campaigns of our familiar heroes.
