That’s right – our beloved Tolkpodden has a new host!
We’re delighted to introduce Pa Neumüller Åkerman – presenter, actress and coach (among many other things), who will now be hosting Linguacom’s podcast about languages, interpreters and culture.
Pa’s first episode will be released tomorrow, and ahead of her debut, we asked her four questions.
(You can find the podcast at www.tolkpodden.se!)
My roots are in the media industry, where I’ve worked as a journalist, actress and presenter in both television and radio. I worked in the United States for 11 years before TV4 recruited me for the channel’s launch, where I helped discover new on-screen talent and hosted various programmes myself.
For the past 13 years, I’ve worked as a communication coach, leadership development specialist and media trainer.
I’m fascinated by languages and would love to learn more of them. Having lived in the United States, Australia and France, being able to express myself fluently in different languages has been essential.
Meeting interesting people, gaining insight into the profession and exploring different aspects of interpreting and translation in greater depth.
I’ve worked extensively with voice and speech as an actress, presenter, radio host and lecturer.
Warming up your voice to keep it strong, exercising your tongue, relaxing your jaw and having remedies available for dry mouth or an irritating cough can all be helpful.
It’s important to address tired vocal cords or the early signs of losing your voice as quickly as possible.
