In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!”, Ally Murphy joins Sam and Mark to explore creative ways of approaching horror voices for Halloween - yes, we know it's early - but clients are already beginning to ask for it! We also tackle a video game script in some surprising ways, and bring a little old lady out to play.

Our VO question this week is all about how you create a gaming character based in reality, rather than some over-the-top cartoon feel.

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 [email protected]

Script 1

One of the team will be with you shortly. While you wait, here are the answers to some of our frequently asked questions.

Scare Village strongly discourages under 12’s from coming to Shocktober Fest, children 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult who is over 18.

All attractions feature dark places, tight spaces, uneven grounds, low ceilings and terrifying characters. If you suffer from epilepsy, claustrophobia, heart conditions, are of a nervous disposition or are pregnant, we don’t recommend this event for you.

We cannot guarantee that fast-track tickets will be available on the door. If you do want fast-track, please check availability with a member of our team when your call is answered.

Script 2

Bob: Okay Hunter, it's time for the age-old tradition of walking the experienced, hardcore death-psycho, cyborg through his weapons like it's his first day on the job…..it’s a really weird tradition.

Bob: Now, take a few shots at that handsome beast over there. Don't worry, they’re, just virtual targets.

Bob: You’ve got it! And I lied, they’re completely real targets! Hahaha!!…….And now I have to clean up that mess.
