Lonewolf, I looked at what you said about the USAF Elephant Walk video:
That video is a bloody pain in the butt to listen to: they can't be bothered to use a human being to narrate; they had a robot voice "reading" the text from a prepared script.
Dear USAF: that video production was bush league, guys and gals. You can do better.
but I hadn't bothered to actually listen to it.
Now I have, and, as a broadcaster and occasional voice-over person, I do so agree. I'm horrified that any professional
PR person/film producer could let such arrant aural crap be associated with what should be a reasonably interesting record of a significant story. In fact I found it hard to believe. But there it was, many egregious examples of nonsense pronunciation and inflection - each of which made the subject matter harder to understand .
How depressing. i hope you have more influence with USAF than I (zero)!
