Show hosts talking too fast, babble

kitpach — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 05:54:50 GMT

Please slow down, come up for air ! Talk to us, it's more enjoyable , and interesting if the products is shown without sounding like a auctioneer, babbling, a mile a minute.

TOTALLY AGREE. Some of these hosts are so wound up like a top, I just keep thinking they are going to explode. What is QVC putting in the coffee?

Can you imagine having to talk for 10 or 30 minutes about some of the products aired? I don't blame them for talking too fast or babbling. They are probably trying to keep from rolling their eyes or saying the wrong thing.

Couldn't agree more.It would be nice if they presented the item and not comminicate with the vendors like their long lost buddies. We are all experiencing that and need a little diversion. The HSN hosts do a good job.

Agreed, Sandra Bennett was wired yesterday afternoon during the Bob Mackie show. I kept trying to take a breath for her. She is usually a much calmer presenter, guess she just was off yesterday?? But yes, many hosts do way too much babbling!

Since she started at QVC, Amy has talked like that. I can barely understand what she is saying. So, I mute the presentation if I am interested, then check out the item on line. Maybe we need to do that with other hosts these days.

I noticed that with a certain young male host. I've have really never seen him so cranked and babbling on and on and loud! Guess he drank the kool-aid now, too. I can't even remember wha he was presenting because I went blank. SENSORY OVERLOAD! And, yes, I did change the channel.

Yes, exactly. They talk on and on to the vendors like they're best friends. What they should be concentrating on is the product; the specs, sizing, etc. They used to give measurements, now we have to go online to check those ourselves, while the hosts ramble on and on.

At least now the hosts and vendors aren't hugging and kissing each other.

I've heard a Saturday morning host give a whole introduction to a product talking so fast, I didn't understand a word she said.

@Styleovertrend I know exactly who you are talking about and I cannot watch him. He really grates on my nerves. So loud and fake overly excited about everything!

Why can't they speak lower and slower making it (voice) the way they all talk on those jewelry shows. Everything sounds sooo important and impressive (not sure why, it always makes me laugh at the discrepancy though). They do not run right over all their words. Very carefully spoken words are used and there is thought behind what they are talking about.

@kitpach Agree 💯! The hosts are definitely guilty, but so are their producers! They listen to the hosts repeatedly talking, or talking over the vendors, interrupting them so that you never get to hear what points they might have to offer. Why can't the producers tell the hosts to lighten up a bit - let the vendors talk?! They need to do a better job advising the hosts when they're going overboard to the point of viewers changing the channel. 😠

Please bring Antonella back. Getting rid of her was a hugh mistake. She had experience, was a wonderful host and has a tremendous following. Please - what you have done is so wrong.

Re: Show hosts talking too fast, babble

noramae — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 18:17:09 GMT

We need Antonella back!!

I repeat, please bring Antonella back!!

I never oould watch AN, but it wasn't because she was a speed talker. Not sure how she avoided that "trait". There are a couple of hosts I just can't watch because my old ears just can't keep up with their speech pattern.

@CalminHeart

Then perhaps the job isnt for them, from what I hear QVC hosts are nicely compensated.....And another problem is the presentations, especially for the TSV are way toooooooo long (if QVC is trying to attract a younger demographic they want everything quick like todays technology)...And theres a lot of jobs that require talking so their jobs arent unique.......

I forget who the host and vendor were, but the host said on-air that the producer told them to get "focused".....WTG producer! You wonder were the other producers are when things get out of control....Afterall, QVC is in business to sell things...
