    Script 1

    So, your boss has given you the go-ahead to work from home. Awesome!

    But moving from a secure office environment to your cosy home office isn’t as simple as just logging onto your home WiFi. If you receive an unexpected email from your colleague, it might not actually be a colleague on the other end. When in doubt, call or verify via text and report any suspicious messages to your IT security team.

    Don’t ever click on links like these. Rather bookmark the sites you frequently visit.

    You are our strongest line of defence so remember to be super vigilant.

    Script 2

    It’s that time of year again and we gotta get “you know who” ready for his global trip.

    Hi, I’m Pogo the Elf, and I oversee the production and packaging of all of the Christmas presents. Yeah…of course the big guy has the last say, but I’m the one he comes to for the inventory.

    Anyway, I’ve been given a very special assignment this year. That’s to organise this year’s Company Christmas Party. There’ll be a bouncy castle, games and a fancy dress contest for all the kids. Not to mention even BIGGER rides, a bar, and more for the adults….and yes…..a DJ!!!

  • In episode 95 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Simon Wells joins Sam and Mark to talk about recording English scripts for a foreign audience learning the language. We meet an angry dad or two, and get a surprise about what a script is really about! We turn anger into joy, have a moment of purring with a cat character, and there's a take on a European mad professor!

    Our VO question this week is all about whether improvisation informs your reads.

    Script 1

    Do you dream of flying to the Moon? If so, you should start training for it now!

    First, you need to have a strong body, so exercise every day and develop healthy living habits.

    Second, learn about space science and the moon by studying and reading books.

    Finally, you should also learn how to pilot a spaceship.

    These steps will help make your dream come true.

    Script 2

    Can’t you just admit you're not ready to make your own choices? look at yourselves! You ended up on the side of the highway in a camping tent that’s missing a pole, you pretty much stole our car, and neither of you have a licence when I last checked, and you had sex - the one rule we had while living under our roof you were not allowed, the one rule. You broke it. This is not good decision making.

    Script 1

    My freedive in the kelp is at summer's end when the water is still balmy from a season of sunshine. The kelp look shabby, abraded and overgrown, signs of imminent change and a shift towards autumn underwater. An invisible pulse of energy sweeps the ragged fronds one way, bending and flexing the stipes, then hauls them back the other. They flutter and billow in the flow like drapes in a blustering wind, as the surge pours through and over them. In heavy seas, this is where their strength lies. No oak, pine or redwood tree could survive such ferocity on land.

    Script 2

    I get that you’re upset. I’m not doing it on purpose.

    Look, Monday night was just a few with the lads after 5 a side.

    Tuesday, that was that works thing I told you about, ages ago.

    Wednesday, we went out, and then last night was just a couple in

    front of the telly.

    I know you think I’ve got a problem, but I can stop whenever I want.

    I don’t need it. It relaxes me. It’s how I unwind.

    What? This? It’s the end of the week.

    Script 1

    “Just a few more weeks and then you don’t have to deal with him ever again,” my makeup artist Mandy reminded me as we sat in the costume trailer between takes.

    Since I’d set foot in British Columbia, Canada, and met Richard Brice he’d been a pompous arsehole. I was the Bonnie in the Bonnie and Clyde–style indie movie I’d signed on to as soon as the second season of Picture This ended. Picture This had been my big break. We’d started filming when I was nineteen and I’d moved down to London to do it.

    Slender is the strand that guides our destiny - known only by true sacrifice.

    In our Kingdom of Phantasia, no one understood this sacrifice more than Queen Helena.

    My mother.

    I saw this, when the neighbouring kingdom, their true intentions unknown, came to our gates in an attempt to conscript us for their last stand against the Dark Lands.

    My mother refused them.

    Her strength defined us that day. And in that moment, we felt destined for greatness.

    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.

Yet, Bessie Wallis Warfield was once just a girl from Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania.

    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?

    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!

    Me! His wife! The mother of his child!

    Thanks to him I have suffered a thousand deaths – and I have killed! I hate him…

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.

    About our guest:

    Graduating from a classical training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London in 2017, Will de Renzy-Martin dipped his toe into audiobooks, commercials, and corporate explainers, but soon his love for games and animation drew him into the world of character work - the perfect outlet for his versatile voice, and playful imagination.

    Will was the voice of Hercule Poirot the BAFTA Scotland Game-winning Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The First Cases in 2021, and returned to voice the Belgian detective in its sequel The London Case in 2023, the same year in which his animation reel won the One Voice Award for Best Demo Reel Performance.

    Will’s voice is truly elastic, able to jump between age ranges, pitches, accents and timbres at a moment’s notice.

    Will is a part of several productions releasing in 2024, including: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and The Wingfeather Saga: Season 2
