RADIO ANNOUNCING
Sir,—My grievance with regard to the 3YA announcing is that the voice might well be coming from a talking machine; it never varies, and has no animation whatsoever, and one never gets the feeling that the announcer is speaking to one personally, whereas this is really somehow conveyed in the announcing at Home. By this I do not mean that we wish announcers to carry on a chatty conversation with us; but there is just that feeling of "distance" between the announcer here and the listening public. Some voices are so cultured and pleasing that one could listen to them for hours. Lastly, how is it that one can so easily pick out the colonials when they are at Home?—By their speech.—Yours, etc., LISTENER. March 7, 1935.
