  1. Sensational Shorts - Multisensory

    EPISODE 1

    Sensational Shorts - Multisensory

    This is the Multisensory episode of the Sensational Shorts Podcast, produced and recorded by The Sensational Museum post-doctoral researchers, Dr Charlotte Slark and Dr Sophie Vohra.Charlotte speaks animatedly and talks faster when she’s excited. She has a southern English accent, which a local person would identify as a somewhat polished combination of Slough and Staines upon Thames (think quite hard consonants!). It’s the accent of someone from a working-class background who has spent a lot of time having to fit-in in middle class spaces. Sophie speaks in a clear and considered way, with a lyrical, soft and lower vocal tone… and occasionally some loud laughs! Putting on her more ‘formal voice’, here she speaks with a ‘non-typical’ north-western accent (aka suspend your disbelief that everyone there sounds like they are from Liverpool, Manchester or Bury), with dropped ‘a’s and stronger annunciation. She often wonders if her different code-switching voices that make up critical parts of her identity (day-to-day, Macclesfield, Yorkshire, academic/telephone, British Indian, Spanish) come through. Alt text: [On a navy blue background, the image shows the words 'Sensational Shorts' in white in the centre, with the first 'S's using The Sensational Museum's branded logo 'S'. The words are circled by the 5 TSM icons in TSM colours. Moving clockwise, starting at the top: pink hands, peach ear, chartreuse eye, peach book, and chartreuse nose.] Hosted on Acast.
