As it happens BBC Wales are advertising for a new announcer, so the job description is easily available. careerssearch.bbc.co.uk
Quote:Television Presentation Director/Announcers maintain the transmission of BBC television
channels in the Nations. They operate the television presentation suites, get live programmes on
and off the air, play out pre-recorded material, time-shift material from the network and perform
tonally appropriate live out-of-vision announcements.
Quote:Perform both live and recorded material in an appropriate style with clarity, authority and
versatility, using the correct pronunciation and acceptable grammar
Emphasis mine. Getting the tone right is very much a requirement of the job.
