David Holmes: The one with the Shy Cheese Grater

In this episode of “How do you Say That?!”, Scottish voice artist David Holmes joins Sam and Mark to talk about meeting Dolly Parton, the muppets, and great gameshows. We mull over scripts on the serious business of wine and booking a man with a van! Not forgetting the Celtic and pirate wildcards!

Our VO question this week is all about the best marketing tools you've used for voiceover.

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

Central to the Vinfluenta PRO system is Elato’s unique “Advancer” algorithm. Advancer automatically adjusts system settings in real-time based on the solution’s unique physical and chemical characteristics. With every production cycle, the Advancer algorithm learns and adjusts settings to deliver the very best results from each filtration. This automation reduces operator error and performance variability between operators ensuring new users can operate the system at full efficiency from day one.
