What it really reminded me was my Distance Education training. First and foremost, hearing and or readability is the key. I struggled with text.

Cheers,

However to be fair, it was a promo for an exhibition in Tours, France... which is apparently going to "resonate" with another in Lyon during the Biennale (which I'm happy about, since I live in Lyon).

So it was aimed at French speakers, and the spoken commentary was very clear, even for a non-native speaker.

Cheers,

Indeed, even on professional tv there are very good and not-so-good interviews.

It certainly isn't a matter of volume, it's one of clarity to the ear, and the absence of echo which, for my ageing ears, is a killer. This can hit me even in restaurants when they fill up: multi-directional echo off walls creates a cacophany through which my knife ain't sharp enough to cut.

It also happens on some Internet videos, and my solution there is to put on my earphones which make for a cleaner, non-bouncing sound. Imagine being a dog in the city: no wonder some go nuts and bite!
