Radio Presentation
December 20, 2017

When delivering a presentation, voice projection is essential. The 5 P's is a way of maximizing all the vocal aspects.

P ower
- Too loud a voice can be annoying particularly for those at the front of the audience
- Too quiet can say that the Presenter lacks confidence and others at the back can't hear
P itch
- Inject some energy into the voice to show enthusiasm for your message. The pitch or tone will vary more and the speech sounds more interesting to listen to
- Remember to inflect the voice i.e. stamp vocally on certain words. For example, saying 'Thank you very much' is less impactful than saying 'Thank YOU very much!'
P ace
- A good guide is an average of 120 words per minute in presentations
- Most people talk too fast (probably because they want to get it over with as quickly as possible!)
P ause
- Pausing is good for emphasis on key quality points. Pre-empting a quality point with a "Now this next point is very important", and a 3 second pause before making the point, is impactful
"The most precious thing in speech are the pauses"
SIR RALPH RICHARDSON
P ronunciation
- 'E's and 'P's ; 'B's and 'D's are very similar sounds, and need to be enunced clearly
- Slowing the pace can help the Pronunciation
"Talk low, talk slow, and don't talk too much"

Having been a BBC radio producer and manager of BBC Radio Manchester for seven years, John Ryan knows his radio rules inside out. 
Rule 1 – Be the authentic you. People who are the same in real life as on the air make the best presenters. Don't use unnatural words or phrases you wouldn't say in everyday life, and never laugh unless you mean it.
Rule 2 – Talk to one person. Radio is an intimate medium, best when aimed at an individual. Pluralising ("Hi, listeners") breaks the bond between presenter and listener – use "you" as much as possible instead.
"Tell the truth, and never be boring." – John Ryan
Rule 3 – Feel the length. A great link might be 4 seconds or 40 minutes. Trust your producer, as they might be a better judge of when it's time to stop. If you’re a solo broadcaster, listen to your own show. If you find your links too long, then they'll definitely bore the listener!
Rule 4 – Respect the music. Talking over the beginning or end of a song is like vandalizing a piece of art. The only exception is with songs that fade out.

Final Thoughts
These are just some of the things to remember when trying to present great radio.
Without a doubt experience, dedicated rehearsal, and on-air miles count for a lot when creating a quality radio show. This means: just do it, make it, and go get it wrong to get it right.

Assignment:   Group of four students will perform presentation in studio and duration will 5 minutes.

TV News Vocabulary and Jargon

-
TV News Vocabulary and Jargon If you visit any television news room, you will immediately notice that TV news people speak their own language.  More confusing still, the jargon varies from company to company and from country to country.  American, British, Australian or other English speaking TV journalists sometimes use different words and expressions to refer to the same things.  Here is some of the terminology and jargon you should know: SLUG   – the title of a story, which should be used consistently by all team members to refer to that specific story. Anchor, Presenter, Talent, News reader   – the person speaking to camera (usually) in the studio. There are slight differences implied by some of these terms.  An anchor is seen as a qualified journalist who literally “anchors” the broadcast – conducting live interviews, ad-libbing breaking news as it comes in and other duties that require quick thinking and good news judgment. A presenter can be an anchor, but can also sim
