Episode 91

Elsie Lovelock: The one with the Game of Two Halves!

In episode 91 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Elsie Lovelock joins Sam and Mark to talk about getting out of the rhythmic patterns we can fall into as voice actors, how to create non-human creature characters and we delve into a truly mid-atlantic sound.

Our VO question this week is all about understanding how to create characters for gaming sides.

Script 1

Is using social media bad for us?

Does stress benefit our immune system?

What is “enough sleep”?

So many questions - but what are the answers?

We’ll take care of the science…

So you can take care of you!

The Truth About Boosting Your Immune System.

Starts next Monday at 9 on that channel!

Script 2

Slender is the strand that guides our destiny - known only by true sacrifice.

In our Kingdom of Phantasia, no one understood this sacrifice more than Queen Helena.

My mother.

I saw this, when the neighbouring kingdom, their true intentions unknown, came to our gates in an attempt to conscript us for their last stand against the Dark Lands.

My mother refused them.

Her strength defined us that day. And in that moment, we felt destined for greatness.
