In ep 185 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Magnus Rook joins Sam and Mark to talk about how a cold read is sometimes impossible, because you need to know what's coming next in order to structure the delivery. We approach a charity script with some conversational levity, but without throwing away the main points, and discover that some people work in very different ways. We also ask is it ever worth breaking a script down line by line, and do you build a list, or give
