In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Mars Lipowski joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to spice up very dry corporate scripts, bringing out the evil and why that's so much fun, plus a shiny floor gameshow host and a mum at the schoolgates feature in the Wildcard section.
Our VO question this week is all about what you should prepare for when creating a gaming demo reel.

Script 1
So what does customer intimacy really mean? We’ve split it into 3 key areas:
1. Understanding – through understanding what our customers want more clearly than the competition, we can better meet customer needs.
2. Influencing – through shaping what customers want, and lending them our international insight, we can be better placed to deliver for them.
3. Creating - through co-creating new solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow, we can be true partners to our customers.
Script 2
Mr Jefferson... we have learned that you’ve been purposely failing in your obligations to the company, claiming that apparently it contradicts your beliefs, have you not?...
So as of this moment you no longer work for us...
and any assets accumulated for your family during your employment have been seized. Mr. Jefferson, You have been very foolish thinking that playing against the largest space mining company in the world would be to your advantage.
