How Do You Say That?! with Stephanie Cannon - British Voiceover In ep 168 of “How Do You Say That?!” Stephanie Cannon joins Sam and Mark to talk about a fascinating twist in a Young Adult audio book. We create a character with an accent who's first language is not English and learn that it matters less what the accent is, as long as it's consistent and you believe it! Also in the show how to cope with a script where some of the words are missing - deliberately! Plus an audio drama clip about someone who could be in big trouble. Our wildcards see a baker kneading dough, a clairvoyant becoming possessed, and a sad script turned happy.

On this week's How Do You Say That?! with Stephanie Cannon... we have unexpected accents, a defensive writer with a dangerous book, a little girl who knows when adults are lying, and some clever insights into overnight success in the Voiceover industry!
