In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, York based voice actor Guy Slocombe joins Sam and Mark to talk about big reads and when to pull them back, the butch energy required in some automotive commercials, and there's an ASMR wildcard that surprises us all.

Our VO question this week is all about the first demo you should make when you're getting into voiceover.

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

By the early 70s, the Cyborg amp was being adopted by other music genres.

And just as progressive rock reached its peak, music got a sudden wakeup call.

Gritty guitars and the 3 minute pop song were back – this time, with attitude.

The punk revolution released a torrent of new talent. It was all about making a statement. Their sound had to be loud and for most, the established Cyborg was the amp of choice.

But Punk inspired more than the anarchists.

Script 2
