I listened to my first Ed Reardon's Week this week, maybe my working late has always caused me to miss it, though I see it's series 10 ... may be I have no excuses.
Anyhow, I wanted just want to say that I'm mesmerized by Ping ... to be specific, her voice. Maybe it's just a personal impression, to me there's a fizziness in her voice that makes it really appealing. Besides that, there's the speed, clarity and various voice impressions that have me riveted.
From the factsheet on this website, it's Barunka O'Shaughnessy though looking (listening rather) through clips on YouTube, it's not actually her natural voice.
Are there are any other listeners to Ed Reardon here who have perhaps also recognised this, or, indeed, have not, and find it just a passable voice for the part?
