Mumbling

Brilliant 😂

I think a lot of actors have very poor diction, and that is why we, the viewers have difficulty understanding them. I would have thought it was up to the directors/producers when viewing the rushes (?) to determine whether something needs to be done regarding the clarity of the speakers before films and other programmes are aired. I definitely do not think it’s because we, the viewers, are hard of hearing.

I do watch Emmerdale and don’t have any trouble with Nate in particular
I often use subtitles especially in dramas but never do for news programmes

The world is full of mumblers.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I find it's a bit of both, my hearing is impaired but some programmes and actors are quite clear whilst I struggle with others. I'm trying to resist sub titles but think I may need to use them soon. Channel 4 always seems louder than other channels for some reason.

Or could it be your hearing? I admit I watch very little tv, but when I do I find I keep needing to turn the volume down quite low, otherwise it sounds as if people are shouting.

I don't watch Emmerdale but get annoyed by the poor sound quality on some TV dramas- I have to turn the volume up when people are speaking but then some music or even adverts come on and its wow! turn that down. I've heard you can get these bar things you put in front of the tv that make the sound better. Maybe I've just got a rubbish tv!
