Week One - SBS News Read




My first recording for speech and script! This recording is news read for SBS Word News Australia. I feel that overall the total news read is ok. My voice is clear and easily understood throughout the news read. My voice seems strong and mostly uses the correct tone to deliver the story. However, there are weaknesses such as the pronunciation of words and also the overall flow of the story. In some parts of the news read I didn’t allow enough break between topics and consequently this blended the issues. By not pausing and allowing a short break through the read between topics, makes it difficult for the listeners to follow and release a new topic is now being read. This also happened in reverse, where I allowed too much of a break between the same topic and made the news read disjointed. I also stumbled across a few words in the news read and this sounded clumsy and messy to the listener. Overall, I feel that this was not a bad first go, although there is still many elements that need improving.
