In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Julie-Ann Dean joins Sam and Mark to talk about what directors really want. When you're asked for storytelling and whimsy - are they two different things? Plus what does it mean when your only note on a read is "interesting!", and we look at audio guides in a variety of different ways.

Our VO question this week is all about how and when to tell clients that you're not prepared to work with them any more!

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

You know the saying, ‘the more you share, the more you have?’

It’s our truth.

No great thing is created solo

The best things happen when we come together

We see beauty in our diversity

We celebrate our differences

And we’re united by everything we share

Shared purpose, vision, potential, success, reward

Shared ownership

We are the architects of our future

With the power to maximise potential

For us, our clients and our business

And here, it all starts with sharing.

Script 2

Stonehenge, a unique prehistoric temple aligned with the movements of the sun.

Built in stages between 3000 and 2200 BC- it's the only stone circle in the world to have lintels, the horizontal stones sitting on top of the uprights.

Its architecture reveals the sophisticated minds and engineering ability of those who built it: the late Neolithic people of Britain.

As we explore the monument, we will find out about Stonehenge, and also the history of the area around it.
