The Allusionist – Podcast 188 – Lipreading
Discussion with Helen Zaltzman
Thank you for my professional association ATLA for the opportunity to take part in this podcast and have a chat with Helen Zaltzman, and explain more about Lipreading.
Before we start… podcasts would not be my medium of choice to listen to. As someone with hearing loss, I like to give my ears a break, and not spend all my waking hours concentrating on listening. So a big thank you to Helen for the #Accessibility and there is a transcript available. The podcast and transcript are linked below.
As Helen explained, back in January 2024: “Lipreading has been in the news this month, thanks to gossip-stoking mouth movements at the Golden Globes that the amateur lipreaders of The Internet rushed to interpret. But lipreading tutor Helen Barrow describes how reading lips really works – the confusable consonants, the importance of context and body language – and gossip maven Lainey Lui explains why these regularly occurring lipreading gossip stories are unworthy of a second or even first glance.
Content note: this episode contains three Category B swears. Collect them all!”
