I saw the Church News story on Gospel Voice between Saturday conference sessions and that was the first time I heard about it, so I tried it one time. It worked. 1 Link to comment

I got on once and listened to a Conference talk, but ever since then I get a “non-recoverable error” message. Even after reloading the app. Bummer. Link to comment

Now listening to Saints Channel Radio! Neat! Thanks for bringing this up. For some reason I had never heard of this. 2 Link to comment
Rain Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 One person on the reviews said he had that problem. He unistalled it and installed it and it worked. 1 Link to comment

Then once I saw the link it went to Primary Voice and then finally, oh yeah...a channel or whatever (I don’t use them at all). Edited October 19, 2020 by Calm Link to comment

(You probably could have ...) For the record, I've never been distracted by anybody's manner of delivery. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be called on to deliver a sermon in front of a live audience of 20,000-plus, not to mention a worldwide media audience of millions more. So, even if there were something I find problematic about a particular speaker's delivery, I would be inclined to give that speaker the benefit of a huge doubt.) But I like to focus much more on the message than on the messenger. About the closest I've ever come to experiencing anything like what a General Conference speaker must go through is speaking in Stake Conference, or when I delivered a plenary address to a multinational audience of between 500 and 1,000 people, perhaps, once.

Calm Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Child Directed Speech is a well known phenomenon (especially the form of baby talk). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0388000105000161 The problem is when it is habitual enough one reverts to it when nervous in a crowd. Women in the Church have in the past been more likely to speak to crowds of children than adults for a good part of their church service, so it is understandable, if potentially annoying. It seems to be disappearing though to me. Edited October 19, 2020 by Calm Link to comment
