The most annoying voice on radio


Michael, over-enunciation, staccato, and emphasis on every second syllable does not make you a better speaker. It's annoying, and it interferes with our ability to appreciate what you're saying. Notice the distinct difference when you're conversing vs. when you are introducing or summarizing a topic. Speak in a NORMAL conversational voice. If you want a model, listen to Ira Glass. He speaks in a normal, conversational voice, and he is easily understood. Unlike you, he's not trying to be something he is not.
