The Broadcast Voice - Brossura

"A wake-up call for old hands and a how-to manual for beginners. It's the book I wish I'd had in my hand 20 years ago." Carolyn Brown, Radio Four

"Jenni's guidance helped transform the way I communicate on TV. She understands the secrets that make the best presenters sound so effective -
and she can pass them on to you." Carenza Lewis, TV Presenter (Time Team)

"People imagine a good voice is God-given and can't be taught - but the sessions I had with Jenni were real ear-openers. She taught me how to achieve all the qualities I most admired in other people's voices - musicality, dramatic impact, intimacy and naturalness. Get hold of this book before your colleagues' bad habits get hold of you!"
Winifred Robinson, Presenter, You and Yours, Radio Four

"It's written by a real pro. Inspirational material communicated in an engaging, down to earth way." Andrew Edwards, Presenter and Lecturer in Broadcast Journalism

"A much-needed and long-overdue book. I want to buy it now please!" Paul Chantler, Radio Programming Consultant

"This book is a welcome publication in a dearth of material on voice-training for broadcasters." The Radio Journal

Jenni Mills has been involved in various aspects of presentation for over twenty-five years - as a presenter, as a radio producer and TV director, and for the last fouteen years as a voice coach. She started her career as a presenter in BBC local radio (music and magazine shows, phone-ins etc), then worked for many years as a presenter on BBC Radio Four. On network radio she has presented regular magazine format shows like You and Yours and Woman's Hour, documentary series like Never the Same Again and Famous For Fifteen Minutes, as well as many one-off features, live phone-ins, and outside broadcast debates. In television she presented current affairs programmes for HTV West, and still works as a voice-over artist on TV documentaries, as well as continuing to do some presentation on Radio Four programmes. Jenni has also worked extensively on the other side of the mic and camera, as a senior network radio producer with the BBC, and as a freelance television director, so she has a lot of experience of getting the best out of presenters. Presenters she has worked with as a producer/director include John Humphrys, Jenni Murray, and Time Team's Carenza Lewis. Over the last fourteen years she's also worked part-time as a broadcast voice trainer. Her clients range from students on the post-graduate broadcast journalism course at Cardiff University, through young reporters just beginning their careers, right up to some of the top presenters in British television and radio, with whom she holds "master classes”. Past clients have presented Radio Four's Today programme, PM, You and Yours, The World Tonight, and Channel Four News. Others have worked in music radio, or on TV shows like 999.
