Emily Jardine: The one with the Killer & the Corgi!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, voice actor and casting director Emily Jardine joins Sam and Mark to talk about the dark side of true crime documentaries, the lighter side of puppy personification, and in a run up to next week's Halloween episode, we explore the wet sound of Igor!

Our VO question this week is all about auditions! From the expert casting ears of Emily and Sam, how many takes should you do, should you slate, and so much more!

Script 1

A killer can come in many forms.

From the Visionaries, to the Mission Oriented.

Hedonists, To the desire for power and control.

A trait is often shared between these abhorrent individuals. A trait which strikes fear into our hearts.

Their innate ability to blend amongst humanity.

From a single glance, you may think nothing of them. You might even trust them.

Until it is far too late.

Script 2

Dear Henry

I'm Charlie, a Corgi puppy who is quite new to the whole dry food feeding thing. I only like to eat the best of the best and I'm worried that my parents aren't feeding me the right food. Call me high maintenance, but I want a food that ticks all the boxes: tasty, keeps my coat lovely and shiny, my 'parcels' firm, and helps me develop as I grow into a bigger dog. Does such a food exist or are my expectations simply too high?

Best wishes,

Charlie x
