Episode 25

Anthony Hewson: The one with the Overblown Puff Piece!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!”, Anthony Hewson joins Sam and Mark to talk about nailing an unusual trailer voice, what to do when clients want a script read one way, but you know it could be better another way... and Mrs Angry makes an appearance in the Wildcard section!

Our VO question this week is all about the type of genres you've never had a go at, and why you haven't.

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

For over 15 years, we’ve been at the top. Providing strategic counsel to hundreds of clients. But staying at the top requires change.

Sometimes change is incremental.

Sometimes it’s profound.

Our combination of expertise, insight and creative edge allows us to navigate the road ahead for our clients. Uniting brilliant minds to redefine communications, shaping campaigns that captivate audiences and create impact for our clients.

Script 2

Imagination is priceless. It didn’t matter if there was no money to buy a ball! He would make one out of socks and paper.

He was born and raised in the heights of Garagoa, in the heart of Colombia. Money was scarce, but love was abundant, and he was a happy child.

He got his first job when he was 8, helping his old man with his small business. It was fun times with his dad, and somehow he could tell he was forging his character, and getting ready for the future.

College was hard but it was worth it. He got a dream job that let him travel the world and become an expert in data engineering.

When he makes a suggestion, we always listen. When we say yes, he will implement faster than anyone.

He is a part of Xseed, and we try to keep him as close as possible.
