Re: Pronunciation

It may be an 'age thing' but I get irritated by people who speak so fast that their vowels seem inaudible, causing the need for extreme concentration to follow what they are saying.

I am only aware of this when listening to the radio - maybe that is because there are no other signs such as body language to assist in following meaning.

More and more often I find myself switching between channels just to find a human voice that is comfortable to listen to.

Since the advent of TV, how a presenter looks seems to matter more than how they sound, when for me sound matters most. A pretty face that cannot express itself properly says nothing worth listening to.
