Bhav Parmar: The one with the Base Pace Checking!

In ep 130 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Bhav Parmar joins Sam and Mark to talk about corporate scripts in all forms... well written, badly written, over written, under written, serious, quirky, fast, slow - and how you can make them all sound interesting! There's some great advice on working out what your base pace should be, and be careful, because after this episode, you'll be googling all about mankinis! You have been warned!

Our VO question this week is all about following your heart and the work you enjoy - and you'll reap what you sow!

Script 1

At Quantra, over more than 40 years, we have developed a strategic investment approach that is rigorous and precise. This is our foundation, strong enough that we can always continue to build, and solid enough that through different market cycles we have the conviction to keep investing through the noise.

It’s how we have been able to maintain our position at the forefront of private markets, underpinned by a strong culture of integrity, and a commitment to deliver long-term returns for our investors.

We are laser focused on how the world is evolving, and how the needs of our clients are changing.

Script 2

Imagine running a hotel where your team is juggling a hundred tasks at once - from handling guest bookings and coordinating staff to managing daily operations, driving sales, while ensuring every guest has a memorable stay.

On top of that, you’re focused on maximising profitability and staying ahead in a competitive market.

You need more than just tools; you need a partner who understands these challenges and offers technology that not only simplifies workflows but also keeps the guest experience superior. That’s where Booked and Bespoke comes in.
