Podcast appearances and mentions of Joyce Grenfell

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Kerry Hutchinson joins Sam and Mark to talk about the different styles of narration for audiobooks, how to pull back time in a script so you have more for the end, and our wildcards embrace mad professors, pirates and the late-great Joyce Grenfell!Our VO question this week is all about what your favourite audiobook is, and why.We'd love you to suggest a wildcard we could use in the show - either DM Mark or Sam on social media or send your suggestion to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Triumphantly Caroline lifted her finger from the fine italic type. There was nothing to mar the success of this afternoon. Not only had she taken the car out alone for the first time, driving unerringly on the right-hand side of the road, but what she had achieved was not a simple drive but a cultural excursion. She had taken the Italian guidebook Neville was always urging on her and hesitantly, haltingly, she had managed to piece out enough of the language to choose a route that took in four well-thought-of frescoes, two universally admired campaniles, and one wooden crucifix in a village church quite a long way from the main road. It was not, after all, such a bad thing that a British Council meeting had kept Neville in Florence.

Normal for Norfolk is broadcast on BBC Two.
