How Do You Say That?!

David Vickery: The one with the Teeny Tiny Laughter!


Listen Later

In this week's “How do you Say That?!”, David Vickery joins Mark and Sam to talk about TV continuity, what to do when a producer just wants it "flatter", how to produce a miniscule laugh on demand and we enter the dramatic world of Jekyll & Hyde.

Our VO question this week is all about how to break into new voiceover genres.

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

This journal, little more than an ordinary book, contains everything. It covers many years, and is filled with equations, formulas and notations of the foremost philosophers in history. Here and there a brief remark is appended to a date, usually no more than a single word: and once very early in the list and followed by several marks of exclamation, "total failure!!!”
