BBC ANNOUNCERS
Sir-Could you explain why several BBC announcers are so poorly instructed on the art of announcing? This morning’s 8.45 (January 27) announcer failed to give us the last word in several sentences, yet these last words are generally most important. Altogether he dropped his voice 37 times at the end of his sentences so that his announcing was ruined by this elementary neglect. Several exactor BBC announcers may be good actors but they are very poorly trained announcers. We are thankful, indeed, to have the BBC news but do wish the BBC announcers would have more resonant clear voices and a better idea of the art of broadcasting.
