You done your shopping yet? Oh. I shouldn't ask? Ok. Sorry. I still need to get sommat for my mayannnnnn.

Today we do some Ha-ing, some pulling in of that diaphragmatic muscle...and o' course a wee look at some tongue twisters.....annnnd Fiona shares some wonderous advice about pre prep and mmmooooore!

Please find Fiona's own work here on her Dashing Onions website. 

I also adore her character of Jane on A Scottish Podcast - NSFW 18+ audience - and it's always - I think - amusing to hear well spoken folks swear....the book summary she reveals in the book club episode made we lol SO MUCH. Listen to ASP here.

Fiona is also on EDICT ZERO which I think is FILLLLED with some brilliant voice actors so give it a go as it is EPIC and you will love it if you love EPIC. (Jack Kincaid is genius)
Listen here to Edict Zero.

He plays Pastor Isaac in MADCAP's episode of Future Pastoral Care by Wynter Sturtevant III which I CANNOT WAIT TO SHARE WITH YOU ...but it will be a little while. If I could only edit bettererrerrer and afford decent sound effects packages!!! Ah well...hopefully worth the wait!

HALLOOO

HAPPY MADVENT! DAY THREEEEEE.....

Three days in a a row. Three kings, Three little pigs, MADVENT and Hansen. All things that so far...come in threes. No pun intended. No pun written. OMG shutup Sarah.

Hearty thank you's to Erika Sanderson for her voice acting advice at the end of this episode....and hope you enjoy the exercises and tongue twister - this time recommended by the wonderous Lara Deacon who you can see onstage in various places in and near Teddington and Chiswick Uk...huxxhas.

As well as being one of the worlds most versatile and amazing actors on stage and more, Erica is in amazingly cool podcasts such as No Sleep, The Lift, Hidden Frequencies, Descendants and so much more! Find access to her works on her website here, and do go and heckle her on tour with the NO SLEEP crew in Europe in the new year. Info on the same website....

I have put the transcript for the show onto my website www.sarahgoldingvoiceactorandmore.com as for whatever reason, they don't all fit on here - so rude!

Truly hope you are enjoying these and completely steal alllll of the exercises and help others to enjoy. Please do share! If you would like to contribute to my creative output I would humbly appreciate your support on Kofi here or my Quirky Voices Patreon site here.
Thank youp.
