Attention please, attention please!

blaming me for conduction those anouncements in this specific matter
and finding a solution on who'll do this ugly job next year

OK... sorry. We kinda got sidetracked here, I guess. :) That being said, the only thing I'd personally say should be changed (IMO; YMMV) would be that the announcements are taking too long. Something like "attention please, the art show's gonna close in 15 minutes! I repeat, the art show is going to close in 15 minutes!" shouldn't take more than 20 seconds or so (a number I just made up, admittedly, but you'll catch my drift); at EF12, the announcements always seemed to draw out forever. :P
That, and the accent... it's OK if you've just got one, of course, but it very much sounded like it was intentional this year. ;)
SouthPaw:
Well I liked somewolf's announcements, though I'd have to agree on the speed issue.
Having said that, I seem to remember reading that "best practice" for doing PAs is to speak around 30% slower than you normally would. For an event like Eurofurence, I would say that doing so is particularly important, given that most of the attendees don't have English as their first language.
Cheers,
Southie

unfortunately it took sometimes about 40 seconds until all that "Attention please" was over.
so most of the people already stopped listening when the actual anouncement was finally spoken.
somewolf:
i'd like to let everyone know that i won't do any anouncements anymore at ef
i just don't like being critizised for this since it wasn't my choice to do this job in the first time
and of course i want to give everone else the chance to do this better than i did
yes it sucks
it's always the same ... get lost or do a better service for the ones who needed the anouncements :-)
do it better ... i'm waiting
just
