Episode description

2023.08.04 – 0946 – The ‘Ending Pattern’ Voice

‘Ending Pattern’ voice

Symptom: A variety of the ‘sing song’ pattern discussed below, this presenter may (annoyingly and predictably) end a phrase or sentence with the same or similar intonation. One beloved of news reporters is to speak naturally for most of the sentence and then pause, before giving the same emphasis to each of the three words… At. The. End. As you can tell it’s very… Annoying. To. Hear.

Prescription:

· This style maybe an unknowing verbal rut tha t the presenter has… Got. In. To. Gently highlighting it will help, together with looking at sentence constructions in scripts and… In. Ad. Libs. More examples of this in a short series of episodes from 267.

Understand what it is you are reading, what is it about, what’s the context? Look again at the actual words you need to lift or subdue or to help tell the story. Listen back to episode 322 for more.
