Have you ever wondered why the voices of announcers and commentators back in 1950 were so oddly and have nothing to do with today’s broadcasting techniques?
Back then they used to speak in “Transatlantic speech”, which is a specific style of speaking, or dialect and as O’Berski said: “It’s an effort to neutralize regional dialects and consciousness of a particular class”.
Moreover, the audio receivers of the day couldn’t pick up bass tones!
Got anything to add?
