In this episode of “How do you Say That?!”, chief voiceoverist Philip Banks joins Sam and Mark to talk about TV promos with an intense punch, and how to take the punch away! We play both sides of a documentary premise, question the Iranian Double Pause, and have fun with some cartoon characters.

Our VO question this week is all about how you find a voiceover coach - and whether you need one in the first place!

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

The Walt Disney Company is everywhere. And over the years they’ve crept into more and more places, thanks in large part to billions of dollars of acquisitions of already famous brands.

Some of you may be huge Disney fans and view this as a great thing. After all, more brands within the Disney family can mean more awesome theme park rides and attractions.

But there are also Disney detractors who view the Disney-fication of things as a dumbing down or as an edge-softening of a brand that previously had some grit.

And we’re going to explore both sides of those Mickey Mouse ears.
