Episode 149
Carla Terry: The one with the Courtroom Drama!
In ep 149 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Carla Terry joins Sam and Mark to talk about singing confessions, pop star neighbours and a mathematical conundrum. We take on a courtroom drama - but which side are we on? Prosecution or Defence? And can you tell from our vocal delivery? We also merge Judie Dench, Miss Trunchbull and Anne Robinson for a TV gameshow announcer with real flair... it's a lesson in how to be mean but not too mean! Plus if you've ever wanted to play disappointed rather than angry - we have the tips and tricks.
Our VO question this week is all about the best kind of live Voice of God gigs out there!

Script 1
Members of the jury…
You sit here not as spectators, but as the conscience of this room.
Every look, every silence, every question that flickers across your mind — matters.
Before you sits a man: Mr Jones. He stands accused of taking a life.
A life that can never be returned.
Now, Mr Jones tells us this was an accident.
A misunderstanding.
A tragic alignment of circumstance and coincidence.
Script 2
Welcome contestants. Hanging above you are a number of balls. When they drop to the floor, you just need to find one and sit on it. However, there are one hundred of you and only ninety-nine balls. The last contestant to sit on a ball will be eliminated… and you’ll be blindfolded. Good luck, and remember, don’t come last.
