    How?
    I was at a school in Wolverhampton for 5 years so I have the ear for the Birmingham accent.
    It also helps that I have family in Birmingham.

    I have also been told I have a good 'Telephone' voice.

      Is that the same thing as a good "radio" voice?

        Yes.
        I was known as the 'Radio 4 man' by a former female work colleague.
        As my voice is clear and understandable over the tannoy.

          Well at least you weren't Radio 1 Man, talking unintelligible gibberish while overly loud and annoying "music" plays in the background.

          ...I just realised I've crossed the threshold into 'old', haven't I?
          And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

            I have no idea what Radio 1 Man is... so no threshold to cross on my part.

              BBC Radio 4 is quite high brow, generally aimed at a more mature and intellectual audience and featuring very well spoken presenters.

              BBC Radio 1...isn't. It's aimed at teens and young people and basically just plays music for their demographic, so I just crossed the "these damn kids wouldn't know what proper music is!" threshold.

                  Don't worry, I sometimes only know two artists in the Top 40

                  (Ah Iron Maiden. Judas Priest. Black Sabbath. How 'quaint' XD)




                  EDIT: About a hundred pages into the classic that is 'Dune'. Little bit interesting so far.

                    My thoughts on getting older...

                    Just sit back and enjoy life...
                    And you know your getting old when... You hear a song from your youth in the charts... And you remember hearing it when it was first released...

                            I wrote something... Legend of the Seeker drabble, but I wrote something. Looks like my Angels of the Sea CD was a good idea. Very relaxing.

                                We all get older -- if we're lucky.

                                The slightly unnerving part can be when you hear a song you loved in high school or college, and then realize a moment later that someone has the radio tuned to the oldies station. I began having that experience perhaps five years ago, and it gave me a few bad turns at first. I think I'm used to it now, though.
