In ep 145 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Hannah Gardiner joins Sam and Mark to talk about how close mic-proximity and a whispered read can be more horrifying than ever. With witches, ghouls, werewolves and spiders... it's a spooky feel to this week's show. There's a Halloween House Tour that no real-estate company would want to give, and a Vincent Price style commercial for a theme park. We've a manic change between Jekyll and Hyde, and a spider spinning a very tangled web.
Our VO question this week is all about how you can be on the road for months with a travel kit and still make a success of your voiceover career!

Script 2
My name is 3053 Sunny Ayre... but you can call me Sunny. I’ve been here since 1991 — standing strong, steady, and full of life. I’ve had only one family, but… what a beautiful story we’ve shared. I watched two people become five. I’ve seen tiny feet run down my stairs on Holidays heard laughter echo through my halls, and felt the warmth of every celebration, big and small. I’ve been loved — truly loved. My roof renewed, my windows replaced, my floors lined with hardwood that glows in the afternoon sun.
