Some tips for recording for radio;

PACE;
- Should be consistent and not monotonous - pace should e=be slower than ordinary conversation but not so slow it becomes dreary.
- Once you've slowed down. slow down again.

PAUSE;
- Well placed pauses arrest attention and allow a moment to breathe.
- Pause to allow proper phrase spacing, as well as punctuation.
- Pause to give the listener time to digest the information.
- Mark your script where you think you need pauses.

PHRASING;
- Grouping words into sense unit - spoken in one breath - though it may not be necessary to take another breath in between two.

PITCH;
- is the position of sound on the tone scale. Variation gives colour and depth of meaning, tending to raise for the important words then fall.

PRONUNCIATION;
- most accents and dialects are acceptable, provided words are clear.
- beware of misconstruction of words.
- record yourself then listen back.
