Shouty sellers

[Deleted member 21102]

I was listening to a gardening programme recording from Sunday and had to turn the volume down when Kathryn Goldsmith was speaking, and she's not the only guilty party. There's no need to shout at me, dears. Leave it to me to turn the volume up if I want to hear you.

There is an air of desperation in many of their presentations, must sell,sell,sell being shouted into their ear pieces.Those of us that have been around for a long time remember the days when if you were not instantly on QCut things were sold out.Times change and if there is something we want we look at other sources and with Q clinging on to their extortionate P&P that does them no favours.I agree about Kathryn she is not easy to listen to, but she is not alone in that!

It is a shame that we are put off watching something that we could well be interested in buying due to the unpleasant presenters' voices. Some are worse than others. The male presenters do not shout, except Miceal Murphy, whose pitch can be unbearable. The sweetest voice is Chuntley's with Debbie Flint second.

Kathryn Goldsmith seems like a lovely girl but she gabbles non stop and loudly. I can't listen to her for more than a few minutes. If anyone wants to see how to present then have a look at Patrick Hoy who is on just now with Katy. He doesn't shout, he's fun, he tells you about the product and it's not all about him. I really like him.

I find that I can’t watch Ann Dawson at the moment. She seems like a nice person, but her voice is unbearable (you know)

I think Knuckles Kramer is the worst for yelling, and Pippa is definitely a close second.

She's from Glasgow and they talk like that lol. I love her, she's a good person.

I think we will all end up as shouters because of the mask wearing.

Someone was talking to me last week in a shop and standing 2 metres apart and wearing masks it took me about 10 minutes before I figured out who they were talking about

He's a bit of a ham, but I like him too.

Her accent is pretty. I think she is one of the worst presenters.

She has mastered the art of the stealth shriek, imo.

Couldn’t agree more love Patrick. He is fun but he does his homework and gets straight to the point telling us about the item not faffing about and talking about himself like some of them

Agreed. Mind you, as about 70% of my family are weegies, I am more accustomed to the accent

I had to turn the tv down the other day when she was on. My gosh why does she have to shout

One of the best in my opinion.

I like Kathryn, she is young, has a great personality and can even make some of the clothes look good.

 

[Brissles]

Hmmm, cant agree I'm afraid, when I've seen her on the jewellery hours, she loudly overtalks the guest wanting to get her 'bit' in. Voice aside, I find that pale skin and scarlet lips a bit of a wicked witch look, although I'm sure she is a lovely person.

Alex is back and she’s another “shouty” one.

 

[maymorganlondon]

When I read shouty sellers, I now have crusty jugglers in my mind...

Alex, as in Knuckles? I can't even recall why Knuckles by now. I think most of the presenters now have some sort of nickname or a signature behaviour or what have you., don't they?
