@oliveranikolich5317 3 ай бұрын

What is it about him that makes him not only EXCELLENT, as you say, especially when you compare him to all of the other narrators? Try this little experiment: Get someone to play to you excerpts from all of the narrators and you close your eyes, listen to each and try to guess who is who. I mean, these guys that end up presenting and narrating these stories are all experienced in some line of work such as acting, investigative work, legal practice or other kind of work associated work. They are telling a story and all of them have a pleasant voice, good diction (which is or written for them or by some of them), camera likes them and they all have for the Real Crime production team recognisable MO. Each presenter makes the same walking scenes, close ups, well established format. Maybe American viewers can see some differences between these presenters/narrators (think they even have the same background wall that’s used whenever the edit with the presenters appears on the screen) but to an independent observer everything is pre planned, every single frame is outlined. Don’t forget that the real actors are reconstructing the original story and the original protagonists are giving their testimony. The whole thing is sexed up and scripted with the notion of attracting viewers. The experiment is fun if is done properly.
