What is the "How do you say that?!" Podcast all about?

Have you ever wondered how voiceover actors create different reads? The "How do you say that?!" podcast is an excellent and fun way of getting a behind-the-scene view while giving a few tips and tricks to fellow voice actors.

The show is hosted by Mark Ryes, and Samantha Boffin, who welcome a new guest each week. (side quest: let’s give them a round of applause because putting out a weekly podcast takes serious dedication and hustle!)

Mark and Samantha choose one script and they ask the guest to bring one too and everyone gives it a go! Proving that there isn't just one way to read a script, there are lots of ways!

Then it's wild card time when they have fun and play with unexpected artistic direction and then ask the guest about their experiences and or tips and tricks about the industry.

While attending The Great Big Voice Over Social in January, Mark asked me to be a guest and I am so honored!

This Episode has bike horns, Florence Nightingale's letters, working with music, building a crescendo, and the technical term: “to gruff it”! The link to the podcast page is here: https://britishvoiceover.co.uk/how-do-you-say-that-with-stephanie-matard/

Being a guest on “How Do You Say That?!” was equal parts fun, thoughtful, and inspiring. A huge thank you to Mark and Samantha for such a warm and engaging conversation — and for celebrating all the weird and wonderful sides of voiceover! If you’re a fellow VO artist (or just VO-curious), I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen. It’s full of tips, laughter, and a genuine love for the craft.

Thanks so much for reading — and if you do check out the episode, I’d love to hear what you think! Steph
