ABOUT?
​

Hello!

Jon Green voice-over
I'm Jon(pronounced the same as John -/dʒɒn/). 

I've worked for a lot of different people and have lived in many different places  but I was born in England, near Brighton and grew up near London. In fact, I always describe Brighton as my soul town! It's also the spiritual home of the Mod subculture and the film Quadrophenia was partly filmed there.

​To read more, you can find my archived About blog below, which has a few thoughts from over the years. 

tongue-twisters in the park

Armed with a handheld portable microphone, one fine day last summer I was asked to help out at the British Council stand in Pole Mokotowskie Park in Warsaw.  The idea was to entice people to come in and try various tongue-twisters.  It was great to do some hosting and even young kids were trying the tongue-twisters in the end.  I did the tongue-twisters again as part of the opening of a British Council off-site school.

the five gentlemen

In one morning's session we recorded professional videos at a recording studio in Warsaw.  Five of us sat in chat show-style seating and proceeded to tell anecdotes, observations, comments and an analysis of English pronunciation and the length and breadth of the complexity of the different accents, slang, dialects and so on. 
It was a brave effort on our part as we had no script, just a loose brief with an outline of what was expected.  In all, 10 videos were created with, dare I say it, Monty Python-like animation (and humour!)
It was a light-hearted look and by the end of the session we really had covered every subject possible and were quite exhausted.  Ultimately, was not only fun but  also a great experience and something for everyone to have a laugh at once in a while.

What do you think?  Did we succeed in entertaining and informing at the same time?

Here's a link to the playlist and introduction:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFftnivzp0
