Doyenne of the Radio 4 Announcer's studio and Newsreader par excellence, Susan Rae explains what you need to sit in the chair that controls the UK's premier speech network.  From the  hostile reaction her smooth Scottish brogue generated when she arrived on the station, to  her dislike of the mathematics required to keep everything running on time, plus the trickiest bit of the Shipping Forecast and how to maintain the newsreader's impartiality. In conversation with the Original UK Voice of Siri - broadcaster Jon Briggs.

Susan Rae can be heard regularly on BBC Radio 4 from the morning news shift on the "Today" programme to the Shipping Forecast at midnight. 

Jon Briggs is available for coaching, training, voice over and broadcasting via www.jonbriggs.com
