Karen Esposito: The one with the Cosy Voicey Chambers!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Karen Esposito joins Sam and Mark to talk about vocal health, prepping a TV promo with lots of differing styles, and how to keep the entertainment in a seemingly very dry e-learning script.

Our VO question this week is all about keeping your voice safe and well during the winter - and especially party season!

Script 2

The very first thing you did when you were born into this world, was to take a deep breath.

Living your life breath by breath, takes you as many places as the wind blows.

Eight celebrities are about to experience the adventure of a lifetime.

10 days of challenging and exciting dives lie ahead of them which will push them to their limits.

Deeper down. Into the unknown. Danger lurks. Seeing the wonders below the surface. Remaining calm. Trusting yourself. Trusting the diver next to you.

All of them having been let down before in their lives - now they will have to trust again to make it through

Are you able to let go, to be free?

About our guest:

Karen is a voiceover artist, vocal coach and voice therapist based in a village called Stoney Middleton in the Peak District-famous for rock climbing, caves and Tom Cruise chucking a train from the top of its quarry to film a scene for the latest Mission Impossible movie!

Karen is a qualified Speech and Language Therapist and spends part of her week running busy Specialist clinics for voice and respiratory disorders.

She has also travelled internationally as a singer and saxophonist and still likes a good warble. In her spare time, she loves a bit of metal bashing (silversmithing) and roaming the hills with her Border Collie, Nell. Her lifelong fascination, however, is the human voice.
