Piece Comment

Review of Translating


This is an example of a piece where it was the subject that got my attention - the statistic is amazing - there is one snippet with a young girl talking about her mother having to know what everything means, even about car insurance when she doesn't have a car - plus the story of a young boy who just stopped talking in school and here's why - those two moments stick out. The piece overall is professional, if a bit too classically "trac and ac" - (which tends to make my ears turn off) - so maybe next time make more of the narrator's own impressions. Why not? I love the music of his voice/accent - nice to hear this voice, one that's not exactly like every other voice - this could go into the news time to break things up.
