In episode 89 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Toby Jackson joins Sam and Mark to talk about finding the joy in a script that can only be described as wonkily written, how to re-live a historical documentary without giving too much away, we try and go a bit saucy, and Sam brings out a wonderful little girl train character in the wildcard!

Our VO question this week is all about how playing video games can help influence your character decisions.

Script 1

Next you want to find out some initial information about what type of EVC they would like, and discuss some options with them, such as what the benefits or disadvantages would be with certain product choices. The types of things a customer would need to consider are aesthetics, cost, safety features, connectivity from the installation location, and finally, whether it is a suitable product for the existing electrical system at the property, which you will assess when you conduct the site survey but the customer should understand that this could affect the product options available to them.

Script 2

Most of what we know about Wallis Simpson is the unforgettable affair that led to the abdication of King Edward VIII. Yet, Bessie Wallis Warfield was once just a girl from Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. So how exactly did this American socialite and divorcée lure the King of England away from the throne - and what was Edward’s strategy here? Did he ever really want to become King at all? Was Wallis simply a guaranteed way out of a life he never wanted in the first place?

About our guest:

Manchester based voice actor Toby Jackson started out studying game design at University so that he could become a game developer, but left that course after one week because he "didn't like how they were doing things!" One of his first jobs was making e-learning programs for students – which inspired him to learn how to be a voiceover because those e-learning programs needed vo!

Fast forward four years, and he has just voiced his first video game set to be released soon and carried on his game development journey by making his own game and documenting it all online.
