In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Ramesh Mahtani joins Sam and Mark to talk about how much sell needs to go into telephony messaging, and rising levels of panic when your character comes face to face with a huge monster.

Our VO question this week is all about the easiest ways to slip into character.

Script 2

MR TANWAR (out of breath and terrified)

Aaaaaargh! [a beat] I-I-I’ve just seen a monster. In Blackbury! (calmer but still panicked) I, I was… I was digging my way out of my house…when I spotted this… huge, white creature, sniffing around my dustbins!

He was at least six metres tall! With horrible, scary eyes!

(Mr Tanwar points towards the dustbins:)

That’s where I saw it. But it’s vanished…

It could bite your head off with its teeth… it’s six metres tall!

About our guest:

Originally from India, Ramesh’s family settled in the Canary Islands, Spain, in the early 1970’s. Although his early schooling was in a Spanish medium, Ramesh continued his studies in England and then furthered his education in the USA. This was where he made his first public broadcasts as a newsreader on live student radio. It wasn’t until much later that he went full time into voice over.

Continued learning and developing a solid work ethic of always doing his very best, have allowed him to build a client network spanning over 25 countries. Being honest in what he does and by going the extra mile have been the foundation of a fulfilling and productive path in life. Working from a pro home studio with all the bells and whistles, Ramesh realizes he has struck professional nirvana, following a voice over career he loves with a passion.
