RADIO ENUNCIATION
Sir, —On Sunday evening, I heard over 3ZB the Public Opinion Session, which this week dealt with radio as broadcast by New Zealand stations. The featured speaker was a lady well known to many New Zealanders as a writer of murder stories. She very strongly and rightly criticised the way in which much of the speech given to us over the air was sounded, and lamented in particular, the lack of proper vowel Critics lay themselves open to criticism: and so may I complain that the speaker spoke in a sepulchral voice which whined in a most incorrect and complaining way right through the interview, and was so busy with vowels that it completely forgot a very necessary consonant used when sounding the word “what.” There is no doubt that greater care should be exercised by the broadcasting authorities in the matter of broadcasts.—Yours, etc., NGARIE MANSFIELD, September 29, 1947,
