Lyrical Resources of the Art of Broadcasting and Regional Radio in Russia

摘要

Radio possesses a special lyrical capacity and a sincere intonation that enables the audience to confide more easily in an invisible voice than in a printed page or a TV screen. Perceived through voice alone, speech becomes deeply emotional, expressive, and profoundly meaningful. Barely noticeable vocal modulations can deflate arrogance and pathos or disclose the absurd and silly in what seems serious and thoughtful. The article cites specific examples to demonstrate how the regional broadcasting in Russia successfully employs radio's "lyrical resources" and describes how the broadcasting majors at Saratov State University learn the art of creating moods and emotions.
