Script 1
Are you a man?
Do you share your home with children, cats, dogs, guinea pigs and a partner that always cusses you for not taking your shoes off at the door?
Do you long for a little bit of quality man-time?
Then you need..... a MANSPACE!
You can rebuild a vintage motorcycle in your Manspace.
Watch the football on a 60" widescreen with your pals while drinking…
Responsibly in your Manspace...
Even install your favourite arcade games from the 80's!
Or we could just put some nice rattan furniture in there...and scented
Candles and pillows?
[Sound effect of Pac-Man running into a ghost as if to say....Game Over]
Yeah.....right! (sarcastically)
Script 2
He was right. I was not naturally bad. A coward broke my life and made me what I have become.
I had wronged him, I admit, but I was very sorry – and hated myself for my fault. I begged his pardon – begged for it on my knees! And he told me to go – threw me out into the streets!
(Beat)
Me! His wife! The mother of his child!
(Beat)
Thanks to him I have suffered a thousand deaths – and I have killed! I hate him…

Script 1
Welcome to Logis de la Cadène. Please hold, we will be with you shortly. While you’re waiting - here’s a bit of history about our family run inn. Perched on a hillside in the heart of a medieval village, Logis de la Cadene was founded in 1848 and is the oldest restaurant in Saint Émilion. We are open from Monday night to Friday night, from noon to one forty-five at lunch time and from seven thirty to nine thirty in the evening.
Script 2
The single biggest driver of company and team performance is the mindset of the leaders. If you want to give your leaders cutting-edge strategies to overcome adversity, achieve peak performance, and scale your company, then J.V. Davids is the transformational leadership expert you've been looking for.
When J.V. founded his first software company in California, he realized he needed to level up his leadership skills. So, he earned a master's degree in psychology and trained in neuroscience. The result? Radiant Technologies landed on the Inc. 5000 list, won #1 Best Place to Work, and Michael was named Social Entrepreneur of the Year.

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Dev Joshi joins Sam and Mark to talk about gaming - and rather cleverly we retrofit a gaming script with some entirely new characters. We talk about punctuation, what styles are accessible for kids listening, and the strict timings of gaming lines.
Our VO question this week is all about what to expect in studio when you go for a gaming job - and the things you might not expect after you've signed that NDA!

Script 1
In addition, the laid-over pleat design of Uni-fold benefits from another key feature. The uniform flow of fluid across the entire surface of the filter medium. In contrast, for fan pleat filters, the upstream flow channel of the medium is much more open than the downstream side due to the standard, triangular pleat structure. Consequently, the flow is highest at the bottom of the pleat.
Script 2
[Speaks seductively] I think... This is the last time we'll see each other. Bye bye.
[Speaks in a joking tone] I highly doubt someone like me can just pray and get lucky, hahaha. Farewell!
[Speaks seductively] Well, I look forward to the next time I see you, honey. At times like this, all you can do is wish for luck.
[Smiles] Haha! I guess jokes aren't really your forte. Tah-tah.
[Speaks in a joking tone] If everything goes well, maybe some light will find this place of destruction, right?

Script 1
Funny how things work out in the end. The dinner went really well, and bless him, Tom apologised about lying to me. He said he had been scared by the strength of his feelings for me and needed time away to figure out what he wanted.
I thought I’d try cooking oysters to start, then it was pan-seared pork chops in a creamy sauce followed by chocolate cheesecake; I had to buy that though.
We sat chatting afterwards, but he had to leave because he was feeling queasy. The last I heard he was in hospital on a drip, and they called me and asked me what we’d had for dinner.
Script 2
Here’s what the judges said: Louisa has shown that passion, enthusiasm, and a willingness to take a chance really does pay off. Her marketing flex and approach has seen some very impressive results and she has clearly made a big impact within the MegaCorp Group team.
That’s why Louisa James, of MegaCorp GROUP is now the proud holder of the NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR – MARKETING trophy.

About our guest:
Jonathan is one of very few trying to specialise in 'Voice Presenting'.
He's been speaking into microphones professionally since 1981, and was one of the first to do corporate VOG as part of the event rather than as just 'Ladies and Gentlemen".
He specialises in awards shows, doing all the tricky bits of script and keeping things on track while also reacting to anything that happens, but like any voiceover he can adapt his tone to suit the situation - it's just that not many voiceovers need the same tones as he does...

Script 1
Take cooking. We all have to rustle up a meal. At one end of the scale, there's scrambled eggs on toast (which is a small step up from a pot noodle) and at the other end, there's that tricky Ottolenghi recipe that you might try to whip up on a free weekend. But if we really want to push the boat out, then we head to a restaurant and get the experts to cook up something special. Getting it right is important - and that gives us the chance to choose the perfect solution.
Script 2
Bilsterberg is a modern racetrack in northern Germany. Over a 4.2 km stretch with 19 challenging curves, you can improve your skills and test the potential of your car and accessories. You don't find spectator stands here, it's all about driving, not watching.
The Porsche Cayman with its 4-cylinder engine is a quite underrated car. Let's see how it performs on track.
The Manhart MH2 GRT is challenging for tyres on a racetrack - due to its relatively high weight and its enormous power.

Script 1
Here is our gold mining operation on Australia’s richest goldfield. Under and around this city is one of the largest gold deposits in Australia. 10 million ounces, 311 tonnes of gold. The source of the gold vein was very special. Gold fluids rose from deep in the earth’s crust towards the surface. Filling giant east west cracks in the granite. These cracks are up to 5kms long and kilometres deep. Our geological studies and drilling have defined a gold resource of 23 million tonnes of rock containing 14 grams gold per tonne.

It’s important that we don’t all think the same way. That we move differently, even to the same beat.
Our differences are what makes life magical. And we want to celebrate being different - so we can learn from each other and make better decisions… be more creative and grow the business.

Vikings were known for their legendary strength and spirit. Among their legacy were not gold or land, but finely crafted armour, their second skin.
Now centuries later Vikings from all over the world gather to challenge their strength and endurance. They crawl through thick mud, fly off the highest Fjords and wade themselves through icy waters. Only those who succeed are earning themselves the armour that holds Odin’s power, their second skin. The Strong Viking Finisher Shirt. / A Strong Viking Finisher Shirt.

You don’t need a watch winder - you need a Fox.
Handmade
Precise
And, just like your automatic watch, unique.
Because only a Fox can be set just right to give your watch the perfect wind, in whichever direction it desires.... one precision instrument for another.
Isn’t that just fantastic?
So.. if you have an automatic watch and you really, truly care for it.
Don’t get a watch winder. Get a Fox.

“Hallo!” said Pooh.
“Hallo!” said Tigger. “I’ve found somebody just like me. I thought I was the only one of them.”
Pooh got out of bed, and began to explain what a looking glass was, but just as he was getting to the interesting part,Tigger said: “Excuse me a moment, but there’s something climbing up your table,” and with one loud Worraworraworraworraworra, he jumped at the end of the tablecloth, pulled it to the ground, wrapped himself up in it three times, rolled to the other end of the room, and, after a terrible struggle, got his head into the daylight again, and said cheerfully: “Have I won?”
