0146 – How To Say Acronyms, Dates, Numbers and Scores
AcronymsAcronyms are sometimes spelt out and sometimes read as words. There is AEE union, the Association of Engineering Employee (“A-double-E”), but then again there is the teaching group “BECTU” (“BECK-too”) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is more commonly known as ‘AIDS’, the office of president is ‘POTUS’.  DatesIn most parts of the world, the format is day > month > year, but in the US it’s month > day > year, so the 5th of March 2021 becomes March 5th 2021. (There’s often the omission of the “of” too, you note.) And the year > month > day format is used in other countries such as Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Lithuania and Iran.[1]
In some countries and cultures you might say 2019 as “twenty-19”, in other countries it might be “2-thousand 19” or “2-thousand AND 19”.
If you haven’t been told specifically, and the script is recorded, then provided alternatives.
Numbers and phone numbersFirst of all, as far as English-speaking countries go, in the US, saying “zero” is more common than in the UK where “oh” is how you say the ‘the number before one’. And different countries have different ways to say phone numbers. Although “triple seven”, “seven seven seven”, “seven seventy-seven”, “double-seven seven” or “seven double-seven” may be a matter of personal taste (although a brand may prefer their number is said in a specific and constant style), the groupings of numbers may differ. So the number 07747123456 may be broken up into different smaller groups of digits depending on local practice. (“12 34 56” or “123 456” for example.) Sports scoresReading scores for a sport that you’re not familiar with? How do you say:·        In tennis: 15-0, or 2-4, 4-2 ·        The football/soccer score: 0-0[2]·        What about the results of a sailing regatta[3], cricket match, Australia Rules football, American Football, bowling, darts or a golf tournament? All have their peculiarities.[4]

0145 – Word BlindnessWe all have words with which we have ‘blocks’ when it comes how to say them. This may be because of a fear of pronouncing them incorrectly and looking daft or because you simply find them awkward to say. In the first category, there’s where you put the stress in the word ‘laboratory’ (it’s not the same as in ‘lavatory’ – which I’m always fearful of doing). There’s an obvious fear of mixing up the initial syllable of ‘country’ when you mean to say ‘county’, and there can be spoonerisms[1] with the title of the group in a county in the southeast of England who used hounds to track foxes, which went by the name of “The West Kent Hunt”[2], and the name of the former British cabinet minister Jeremy Hunt[3]. In the second, and in 2020 it was often a mouthful to say “coronavirus restrictions” and I try and avoid saying the word ‘rural if I can change it in a script. [1] A spoonerism is an error in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched between two words in a phrase. Spoonerisms are named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this mistake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoonerism [2] This BBC radio presenter made the error though (CAUTION ADVISED): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzXJfkJbrT4 [3] These BBC presenters made the error though (CAUTION ADVISED): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWbYid8-nyA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRd9rMCM_MA

0144 – How To Make A Word Easier To SayWriting a pronunciation phoneticallyOne of the easiest ways to write a word phonetically is to break it down into syllables, clearly indicating any inflection and run-on sounds, for example aluminium is written as al-you-MINNY’m’ – with the run-on indicated at the end of the word with the ‘m. Be careful if you write that a word “rhymes with…”, as in doing so you may be presuming to know how their accent pronounces that other word! Let’s take the name of ‘Peter Bough’. It’d be pointless to write: ‘Bough’ (rhymes with ‘bow’). Err, hold on, is that ‘bow’ as is ‘bow of a ship’ (or ‘bough of a tree’), or ‘bow’ as in ‘tie a bow’? Actually, it might be ‘bough’ as in ‘buff’.  Be careful to use ‘k’ for a hard ‘c’ sound, to differentiate it from the soft ‘c’ sound. As you will note from those examples, CAPITALISE parts of the word which need to be lifted or emphasised, so ‘Westminster Abbey’ is ‘west-MIN-ster’ and not ‘west-min-ster’ or ‘WEST-MIN-STER’) where all the syllables are equally emphasised

0143 – Saying An Awkward Name Is Not A Game People’s namesLike places, these can often be awkward to pronounce: are Smith and Smyth said the same way, or is that second one ‘smithe’? What about Cholmondeley (actually pronounced ‘chum-ly’), or the surname Death (which is often said as Dee-ATH). “Eyewitness John Montmorency (pron: MONT-mor- ENSY) says at least a dozen police vehicles are at the scene…” The acclaimed British actress Julie Hesmondhalgh has such an unusual name, her IMDB page tells people how to pronounce it:.[1] [1] https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0381420/bio

0140 – Quirky Ways Of Saying A Word Local and regional pronunciations As far as local pronunciations go, any regional TV or radio station should have a written guide (and perhaps an audio one as well) to unusual names and places in their area, thereby reducing the possibility of newbies falling headlong into pronunciation bear-traps and taking the station’s credibility with them. Listeners may not care (or know) if you mispronounce the name of the city of Vienna in Georgia, USA (it’s ‘vye-enna’) if it’s not in their neighbourhood, but they will if you call your local town of Leigh as ‘lee’ rather than ‘lie’. Getting the name of a place wrong, especially one in your own area or your own country (the UK places of Bicester is ‘BIS-ter’ and Towcester is ‘TOE-ster’), insults your listeners as well as damages the station’s credibility and your own.  Never assume that you know how something is said. Check it out and get it right. It is much less embarrassing to be wrong in front of two or three colleagues in the newsroom when you ask for advice, than in front of several thousand listeners on air. (Although who’s to say that your colleagues are correct with their pronunciation...?) Once you have found how to say a word, say it several times to give your eye > brain > articulators an opportunity to work out the workflow.==
Through these under-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection and projection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a career spent in TV and radio studios.
And as themes develop over the weeks (that is, they are not random topics day-by-day), this is a free, course to help you GET A BETTER BROADCAST, PODCAST AND VIDEO VOICE.
Look out for more details of the book during 2021.

0139 – Pronouncing Foreign Words Foreign namesForeign names can be quite awkward to come across, but with the increasingly global village, they are much more likely to appear. A produced commercial script should have been past so many people to sign it off, that a pronunciation is supplied. If it’s not, perhaps in the case of a news story, a call to native speaker of that language (or maybe the country’s embassy or consulate) might be helpful. Alternatively, there may be some occasions where you can omit the name of a foreign dignitary and use their title only. As the last resort, if you are not sure, take a deep breath, say the word confidently as well as you can and carry on. If it really is unusual, the listener probably knows no better. Of course, the question could be asked, why you had not spotted the name before going to the studio! Take the first chance you get to check it out. A basic although not infallible rule of thumb (certainly before you have a chance to get a definitive guide) is to Anglicise a pronunciation: say it with your accent rather than that of a native speaker. Therefore, it is ‘PA-riss’, rather than as a French woman might say, ‘per-REE’. Sweden is not ‘SHVAY-d’n’ and so on. Watch out for the classic pitfalls of Tanzania (‘tan-zn-EAR’ – not ‘tan-ZAY-nia’, to rhyme with ‘Albania’), and Arkansas (‘AR-kn-sor’ – not ‘ar-KAN-sas’, as in, well, ‘Kansas’).[1] Having said that (I said it was only a rule of thumb!) many foreign words have entered the English language, some of which we do say how a native might. We pronounce ‘parfait’, ‘par-fay’ whereas an Anglicised version might actually make sense as ‘par-fayt’. (Well, George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying the UK and US were “two counties divided by a common language”…) Or there could be ‘local’ pronunciations from different countries which might confuse you: Football manager Jose Mourinho’s first name is pronounced the Portuguese way (‘josay’), not as many thought when he first came to prominence, as the Spanish do (‘hosay’).

0138 – Pronunciation Guides Pronunciation guidesPronunciation guides are available online: use a reliable one such as ‘The Oxford BBC Guide to Pronunciation’[1]. For BBC staff, the Corporation has its own Pronunciation Unit whose staff are on hand to answer questions especially on newly-emerging names. For that of a foreign politician who is suddenly in the news, the experts are able to quickly carry out brief research of person, their country of origin and language to see what the ‘root’ of their name is, as well as see whether that person has ever explained how they prefer their name to be pronounced (is Jose Smyth, a “ho-say smith” or a “jo-zay smythe”, or any other combination?). The Unit will then call their colleague back to pronounce the name down the phone, as well as sending them a written guide (such as this, below) for future reference.
[1] Available on Amazon etc ‘The Oxford BBC Guide to Pronunciation’ is, according to its blurb, “the ideal source for finding out how to pronounce controversial or difficult words and names. Expert guidance is given on how to pronounce 15,000+ difficult words and names, using both the International Phonetic Alphabet and simpler respelled pronunciations”.

0137 – Misheard Words
Communication confusionA particular problem in clear communication may occur for your listener if they mishear one word for another which could make sense – but have a very different meaning. Depending on your accent:

• “Can” may sound like “can’t” – “The president said he can/can’t support the bombing”
• “Facial” is very similar to “fatal” – “The driver received facial/fatal injuries”
• “Million” can sound similar to “billion” – “… will cost seven million/billion pounds”
