Sam gets a little confused at the start of the show, and Mark brings out a Shakespearean tragedy wildcard!Our VO question this week is all about how easy it is to transition between stage acting and voice acting.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Embracing mindfulness in the kitchen allows you to turn an everyday task into a moment of peace and presence. The best part? You're incorporating mindfulness into something you already do, making it an effortless addition to your routine. Job done!Start by setting the stage for mindfulness. Take a moment to breathe deeply and clear your mind. Gather all your ingredients and tools, arranging them neatly. Notice the colours, textures, and shapes of the ingredients. Lift the herbs to your nose and smell them. As you wash your hands, feel the temperature of the water and the sensation of cleanliness.Script 2On phone (to Dave Goodwin, CEO of EVATION): Of course. I'll be there right away. Narration: May 21st. I receive a call from Goodwin, known to his friends as Dave. He's CEO of a finance company called EVATION, and they're in a whole world of trouble. Caught up in the middle of a money laundering crisis from hell, and I already have a bad feeling about this case. I'd better not keep him waiting. Sounds like he needs help fast, or my name's not Private Inspector Decker. I take off into the night and make my way to EVATION HQ. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Will Harrison-Wallace is a Londoner.. his route into acting & voice work was slightly unorthodox… spending a number of years in the financial markets when the financial crash of 2008 presented an open door for him!

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the K-drama series Queen of Tears (Netflix, 2024) starring Kim Ji-won and Kim Soo-hyun.

Grace ties this into her critique of Korean chaebol groups and their economic, political and socio-cultural influence which never point a finger at themselves for their own scandals, corruption and crimes.
