Camilla Laxton: The one with the Agent Perspective!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Camilla Laxton joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to bring a surprise into a script, playing a scammer, and how an international advert read changes depending on where it's being shown.

Our VO question this week is all about lifting-the-lid on what agents really want from both voice actors and clients!
