Re: Hosts could Ya please slow down

I think they must be instructed to talk faster.

I know Amy talks very fast but Albany almost gave me an anxiety attack. I can't watch her.

I recorded the D&B show from 1:00 A.M. and just now watching it, and all I can say is thank goodness for the fast forward button! Lol...

They don't talk any faster than most folks talk in every day life--- or at least that's been my observation. On TV, it's particularly important that talking comes across as dynamic. Otherwise, it will sound like an elderly, male news anchor and most people would immediately change the channel. You can always shop qvc.com.

Re: Hosts could Ya please slow down

In general, could it be a regional thing? Or, maybe previous news/reporter news careers? I don't know of anyone around here who are fast talkers. Although, most office assistants who leave messages talk a mile a minute, and when you call them back, they have no idea why they called in the first place........but, that's another story! lol

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
