  • What are the rules for political advertising

    Hi, I just listened to this podcast and I really enjoyed it. Well done. However, what I didn’t like is the change of voice tone. Every sentence finished about 3 octaves higher than it started. They all sounded like 15 year-old school children!! Please have a listen and see what you think.

    The PRESENTATION of communication is as important as the its CONTENT.
