In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Jo Ashe joins Sam and Mark to talk about audio walking tours, how to give castles, towers and fortresses a character voice, going from huge to tiny within the same script... and how to properly project a fit of the giggles!

Our VO question this week is all about whether it you that you bring to a script or a character version of you!

Script 1

No-one likes unhappy users.

Getting good feedback is vital!

But traditional end-user surveys don’t work.

Happy IT gives you that vital feedback.

In fact, Happy IT combined with operational data from your block system, gives you ‘outcome based analytics’.

This is a measure of how happy your end-users are with their IT devices, apps and services.

Now you can identify issues, root causes and related processes that need to be changed.

Script 2

Good day to you! I’m up here! But how could you miss me - me the fortress. Since the 13th century I have been sitting high above the Valley. Day in and day out I watch the jolly excitement of the city and the people are very proud when looking up at the fortress hill to see my imposing walls. I have already experienced many things, the funny, the sad and the peculiar; but what is happening now, it truly leaves me speechless; it’s unbelievable the fate awaiting me!
