In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Romanian voiceover artist Ioana Botezan joins Sam and Mark to talk about the bi-lingual voice market, why Eastern European telephony is so different to the UK, and how the archetypal vampire is a voice we all know and love.

Our VO question this week is all about how scary leaving your career and going freelance as a voice artist can be!

Script 1

In the breathtaking landscape of the Snow Mountain, we discovered a truly remarkable contrast.

A blend of hand-picked green and black teas, united in a striking balance.

The green tea's revitalising freshness, contrasts perfectly with the black tea's enigmatic depth.

This is a sensory journey like no other - a perfect harmony between invigorating and profound notes.

About our guest:

Ioana Botezan is a specialized Romanian Voice Artist, focusing on medical narrations and presentations. Her journey in the voice industry gained momentum in 2020 when her husband set up a dedicated voice booth at home. With a rich background in radio spanning 15 years, she decided to leave her radio show last October to channel more time into voice-over work.

During her 6-year stint in television as a news anchor and morning show co-host, she realised that TV wasn't for her... but despite that her recent involvement in interviewing business professionals for a financial education platform has provided valuable insights into achieving success.

Ioana is also a social butterfly and an active member of the influencer community in Cluj-Napoca, called BBM Cluj. She's invited to all kinds of events and attends a lot of parties. She has 2 dogs and loves to travel.
