Sensational Shorts - Identity

Welcome to the Toolkit

A WELCOME TO THE TSM MULTISENSORY INTERPRETATION TOOLKIT , PRODUCED AND RECORDED BY THE SENSATIONAL MUSEUM TEAM MEMBERS, DR ALISON EARDLEY AND DR CHARLOTTE SLARK. Alison speaks authoritatively and enthusiastically. She has a north London accent and speeds up when she’s excited. While her voice is not particularly high pitched, it is a much lower octave in her head than in reality. 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. 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.

Postdoc Podcast - Glasgow

THIS IS A PODCAST EPISODE, PRODUCED AND RECORDED BY THE SENSATIONAL MUSEUM POSTDOCS, DR SOPHIE VOHRA AND DR CHARLOTTE SLARK, PROVIDING A FINAL ROUND UP OF THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT AND HOW THE PRINCIPLES OF TSM CAN BE EMBEDDED INTO MUSEUM PRACTICES. 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 enunciation. 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. 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.

Below the ear reads 'Postdoc Podcast' to indicate what series it is, and finally, below that reads 'Glasgow', as this episode was recorded in preparation for the first TSM retreat there in January 2024.] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
