The most annoying speaking voice in Ireland

    There was one of the Northern Irish Correspondents on radio had this sown up for years but I now think Katie Taylor has just knocked it our of the park.
    Can't wait to hear her monotone drone after wining another world championship today.
    Listen as she never makes an attempt to annunciate any part of the sentence & just rolls one line into the next without pauses.

    Who else has a voice who turns you off ?

    Senator Averil Power has a really annoying vocal tic. It's a pity because she's a good speaker otherwise, but I find myself waiting for the next "Aya..am" in her sentence.

    Chris Donoghue from Newstalk wins hands down for me. He is obsessed with over articulation, and his aggressive 't' leaps out of every word and it pretty much feels like I'm being whacked on the head repeatedly at that hour of the morning.

    Soften it up a bit Chris! (I'm sure Ivan would find an innuendo there).:)

    Lotti Ryan.. I don't know where she got the accent.
    And your woman on Newstalk not sure what her name is, can't listen to the programme long enough to hear her name!


    ...edit: Found her name - Orla Barry


    and Tony Fenton

    George Hook. Plus he is so full of himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    That woman on KCLR. Sue Nunn I think her name is. The most depressing voice I've ever heard. Nice lady though! :D

    Anyone with a Shamerican accent drives me bonkers as well.

    Twink wins most the most annoying voice from an OAP category.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 869 ✭✭✭Osgoodisgood


    Matt Cooper by a mile.
    The combination of dis, dat, dese and dose with a mouthful of spit makes me nauseous.
    One of those suction thingys like you get at the dentist in the side of his gob while he's prattling on might be worth a try.

    I cannot bear listening to Paschal Donohue TD, is it a lisp or lateral "S" he has going there?
