Diction Friction
Welcome back to another episode of The Audiobook Podcast.
We’ve touched loosely on the subject of diction in earlier conversations, but we
realise that what we said was fairly general. We’d mentioned casting people to
work within the normal range of their voice, and that forced diction can sound
forced!
In this episode, Justine is in conversation with Geraldine Cook-Dafner, who holds
a Licentiate in Voice and Speech from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in
London, and additional training at the Royal Shakespeare Company and we think
there’s nobody better to have this conversation with about diction.
