In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Carlisle based voice actor Drew Campbell joins Sam and Mark to talk about all the different ways you can tell a story. From corporate stories to bedtime stories and everything in between, we go beyond "Once Upon a Time".

Our VO question this week is all about how knowing what music will be used completely informs your read.

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

If you are a small business owner who wants to stand out and attract more clients without spending too much on marketing – read on!

Everyone has a story to tell – and the story behind your business is what makes you unique.

That’s why your “About Me” page is so important: it’s where new visitors will find Your Story.

A good story will resonate and engage – it’s why people come to you and not someone else. And good stories get shared more – so making yours sticky is great for business!

Script 2

Toad, Ms Verruca Dumper, Ballbag and Sir Fungal Virus Twonk, lived in The Golden Valley of Jingly Pots, a faraway land somewhere at the end of The Great Rainbow. That's the same one we call the rainbow in the sky.

An Old Wives' Tale from many moons ago (which is a very long time) still tells the story of a few brave souls who ventured to the end of the sea, to find out if life existed there. The story has been told time and time again under twinkling starry night skies. It became known as 'The Raining Winkles Story’.

About our guest:

Drew Campbell is a multi award winning voice actor based in Carlisle, Cumbria. He's been a voiceover for just over 10 years after falling it to it. He's a singer, guitarist, and songwriter and was lucky because he already had a garden studio.

He's voiced for video games like, WarHammer 3 and Total War: Troy Mythos and the odd indie game. He was cast as 2 robot gang members in a video game called Cloudpunk, a cockney robot and an screechy American robot. A lot of players like the line “Urban Renewal Bitch”.

He was also entered Into the Eurovision Song Contest twice by a Swedish songwriter that he created some music with. The first song was called “Micro Mini Thong” but Drew can't imagine why it didn’t go anywhere!
