Just occasionally, social media can deliver something really heart warming and Jemma and Marina were moved by the fact that Jamie Theakston's listeners at Heart FM cared enough to make him see a doctor when they noticed his voice had changed. As a result he received a cancer diagnosis and fortunately now has been given the all clear. His words are really worth listening to. And the BAFTA for best presenter goes to.....David Tennant for making not one, not two but three Trump jokes during his monologue at the start of the BAFTAS, though only one made the final cut on the BBC and some of the backlash on socials was intense to say the least. You'd think people would save their vitriol for the speech JD Vance made during which he insulted Europe and singled out the UK for a punch or two too. So much for that 'special relationship.' Vance claimed that over here 'free speech is in retreat' which is interesting given the US have just banned a children's book by Julianne Moore about a girl who has freckles. Marina and Jemma give a full fash chart rundown, literally to the Top of the Pops music and consider what could happen if Europe stand firm against the US.

In the first Tech To Transform podcast of 2022, Mantis MD Eleanor Willock delves into the use of data and the ethics of AI in the NHS. Eleanor spoke to Sam Gilbert, author of Good Data: An Optimist's Guide to Our Digital Future, and Daniel Bamford, Deputy Director AI Award, Accelerated Access Collaborative at NHS England, on what NHSE is doing to fund AI innovation. They discussed how machine learning is already transforming 80,000 clinical pathways, and looked at reasons to be optimistic about how good data can make a positive difference. They also questioned whether the NHS has that good data, and whether public sector tech companies should focus on other markets to attract investors. And, they explained why switching the radio to Heart FM is the first thing they'll all be doing on their imaginary taxi ride with Sajid Javid. Take a listen.

2021.11.18 – 0322 – In SummaryA common failing of script readers is banging out every, say, fifth word, like a beat on a drum.Or banging out unimportant words, the ‘grammar glue' that simply link a sentence together, rather than the words which do the ‘heavy lifting' and help explain the story. (Here I have underlined the correct ones to lift!)Having this kind of intonation gives the impression that you don't understand the story – and of course it is your job to explain it. Intonation exists to bring out meaning. And to get the meaning over to someone else, you have to know it yourself first.So we lift (by varying degrees) the words and phrases that help make the story the story. To lift other words can at best confuse the listener and at worst make you look foolish, or land you in trouble. An example: ‘The police chief says he WASN'T speeding' is a flat denial reported by an impartial newsreader. ‘The police chief SAYS he wasn't speeding' suggests that you think he's lying…As I say in my seminars: Use your inflection and intonation to extract the information from your stories, with your voices.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios. If you're wondering about how to start a podcast, or have had one for a while - download every episode! And as themes develop over the weeks (that is, they are not random topics day-by-day), this is a free, course to help you GET A BETTERBROADCAST, PODCAST AND VIDEO VOICE. Look out for more details of the book during 2021. Contacts: https://linktr.ee/Peter_Stewart Peter has been around voice and audio all his working life and has trained hundreds of broadcasters in all styles of radio from pop music stations such as Capital FM and BBC Radio 1 to Heart FM, the classical music station BBC Radio 3 and regional BBC stations. He's trained news presenters on regional TV, the BBC News Channel and on flagship programmes such as the BBC's Panorama. Other trainees have been music presenters, breakfast show hosts, travel news presenters and voice-over artists. He has written a number of books on audio and video presentation and production (“Essential Radio Journalism”, “JournoLists”, two editions of “Essential Radio Skills” and three editions of “Broadcast Journalism”) and has written on voice and presentation skills in the BBC's in-house newspaper “Ariel”. Peter has presented hundreds of radio shows (you may have heard him on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, Virgin Radio or Kiss, as well as BBC regional radio) with formats as diverse as music-presentation, interview shows, ‘special' programmes for elections and budgets, live outside broadcasts and commentaries and even the occasional sports, gardening and dedication programmes.

2021.11.17 – 0321 – Final Intonation ConsiderationsOnce you have pre-read and rehearsed and are confident in what the sense of the script is, don't necessarily read it exactly the same way each and every time. To sound convincingly conversational, you need to ‘feel' the words each time your eyes see them, as though the thoughts are just occurring to you. As long as it's true to the intended meaning, each time should sound like it is the first time.Intonation is important: highlighting one different word can change the meaning of the sentence. Stumbling through a script can leave it sounding illogical to the listener.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.15 – 0319 – Intonations In Different Languages INTONATIONS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGESEach language has its intonation and some are more musical than others. In English, a wide range is used. In some instances, intonation carries the meaning of a phrase. For example, in question tags the intonation used can indicate whether the speaker is looking for agreement. It is important for speakers of other languages to be aware of intonation. If their language does not have the same range, they can sound monotonous or even bored when speaking English. Misunderstandings can also arise between speakers who are not aware of the intonation of the other person's mother tongue. EXERCISES A series of scripts for you to use to exercise your marking up and intonation skills.· A centre-left think tank has proposed that a levy on frequent flyers should replace air passenger duty, which is charged on each ticket. Under the plan, a passenger's first holiday flight of the year would incur zero tax. But second and subsequent flights would attract progressively higher taxes. The New Economics Foundation believes this would not only curb emissions, but also make holidays cheaper for poorer households. · England's women beat India by 18 runs in last night's T20 match at Northampton. Today - England's men face Pakistan in the 2nd one-day international at Lords. · Three people have been killed and several injured in a church in the French city of Nice in what officials say was a terrorist attack. The attacker, who was shouting 'God is greatest' in Arabic, was shot by police and is being treated in hospital. The French authorities have raised the terrorist alert level.· The government says it has no plans to follow France in imposing a second national lockdown, despite evidence of a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases. Scientists at Imperial College London say the number of people in England catching the virus is doubling every nine days and is now around 96-thousand a day. · New figures show sixty per cent of contacts provided to NHS Test and Trace in England were reached and asked to isolate last week -- a performance unchanged from the previous week's low point. Performance for outbreaks managed by local health protection teams remained high at 97 per cent.· Rail companies are calling on the government to cut taxes on the electricity they use to power trains - and raise fuel taxes for airlines and motorists instead. They say this would encourage travellers to make greener choices because rail journeys cause less harm to the environment. Airlines say they're already paying the highest rate of Air Passenger Duty in Europe.· The Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, has made last-minute changes to the way A-Level and GCSE results in England are to be decided - following the outcry in Scotland over estimated grades. He's to allow students an appeal so they can use their mock exam results for university places or jobs if they're better than their official grades. They can also opt to sit the exams in the autumn.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.13 – 0317 – The Magic SkeletonYou have to be careful with intonation of course:· If you lift the wrong words that you begin to sound like a bad robot and thus not conversational or natural· If you lift the wrong words, it can actually change the meaning of a sentence, and may even land you in trouble legally· If you lift too many words then the whole sentence or paragraph will be lifted, and be akin to a constant shout rather than a well-modulated, meaning-rich presentation. That for the listener is difficult to listen to and confusing to interpret.The magic trick is, when you have underlined each meaning-laden word in your script, to then go back and, tah-daaah!:· First, only read the words which you have not underlined. All the less-meaningful words, the ‘glue' in the sentences, the words that are there to hold the others together.o You will find when you do this that what you read is pretty much nonsense and you get very little understanding of what's going on at all.· Now, only read the words that you have underlined: the meaning-full words. These are the ones that you will lift both in conversation and also therefore in a script. They are the unusual terms that help make the story, the story. They are the skeleton words that give the story its structure.o You will find that even though there is not an overall context to the story, you will get a better understanding of what is going on than in the first exercise above.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.12 – 0316 – Hearing Your Own IntonationIt is difficult to be aware of the exact intonation of your own presentation, partly because of how we hear ourselves ‘inside ourselves' through our own sound passages and vibrations. And also, it's because we know our ‘intention of intonation', and therefore it's difficult to judge how exactly that message has been received. To put it another way, we hear what we said, not what others have heard and have understood by it.Those who speak in a monotonous style truly believe they have variety, intonation and emphasis…But even the most powerful prose or meaningful monologue will fail to engage and inspire if the delivery is as flat as a Coke with the top left off.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.11 – 0315 – The ‘Question Intonation'Those who have a ‘sing-songy' voice which goes unnecessarily up-and-down in tone (the ‘sea-sick syndrome'), can come over as patronising. It may sound ‘up and bright' to them but to the listener it sounds cheesy and as though the presenter is on ‘auto-pilot' without a care for the content of the message. Other presenters go up at the end of every sentence? Like this? Whether it's necessary or not? Are they really asking a question? Or have they got into the habit … of really annoying their audience? This is called ‘up-speak', everything becomes a question and can make you sound insecure, and insincere, that everything you say needs validation. Some people use it too much, as though they are constantly asking questions, and that affects their authority. Incorrectly using a ‘question inflection' triggers confusion in the mind of a listener: the sound of what you are saying is contradicted by its content. Doubt about your delivery disrupts the effectiveness of your message. So if you are a presenter encouraging phone calls or a YouTuber requesting comments under your video, you need to use a rising inflection… where appropriate. A question will engage your audience more than using a straightforward statement.Statement: “Many people are struggling today by not making enough money as an entrepreneur.”So turn that into a question: “Are you as an entrepreneur, making enough money in your business?”Or: “are you one of those entrepreneurs who…?”A question draws people in, it involves them much more than a statement. A question creates attention. Hmmm do you always go up at the end of a question? No! So called ‘interrogative' Yes/No questions (those which can be answered with one of those words) are often ended with a down-tone: “So, you're going to go by train?” Usually, so too are those to which you already know the answer: “Our reporter Peter Porter was in court, can you tell us what happened?” – it would be odd if Peter replied “no!”! Another situation is when you answer your own question: “Have you ever thought about getting a tattoo? I know I have…”Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.10 – 0314 – Circumflex IntonationBut the human voice is capable of much more intonational gymnastics! Within some words we can go down … and then up and then down again. Or up, down, and up again. And these intonation alterations give additional clues to the listener as to what we mean.Down > up > down ( ) This is often a sneery tone, or used to signify uncertainty. · “I don't think you doooo!”Up > down > up ( ) Suggests that we haven't finished talking , or us used at the start of a contrast· “I'm not going to Antigua… I'm going to Bermuda” What circumflex inflections would you use for these phrases, and what would they mean?· Stop worrying.· Don't go.· Please come back.· Give me a call soon.· Stop trying to trick me.Listen to how you and others talk in every day conversations: “He did what??!!”, “Yeah, su-u-u-u-u-re you do...!”, “aaaaand…”. Then try and reproduce these techniques on air to make your intonational sound increasingly natural and ear-catching.

2021.11.09 – 0313 – The Flat IntonationAnd in some situations, I may just have an almost flat intonation (with a slight raise) on a word, to signpost a meaning to the listener. For example, if I am talking, it's the way that I would say that I'm in the middle of my sentence, and I don't want you to interrupt me yet because I've got more to say about this subject, but when I have finished what I'm saying, I'll finish and go down.Let's take a look back at that: “So, it's the way that I would say that I'm in the middle of my sentence / and I don't want you to interrupt me yet / because I've got more to say about this subject / but when I have finished what I'm saying / I'll finish and go down.”[1] If you go down on your intonation early, you give the impression you have finished and the listener may jump in as you are no longer ‘holding the floor'.

2021.11.08 – 0312 – The Downward Circumflex Intonation Within A Word This is, unsurprisingly, a word said in a higher pitch followed by a lower one, and as you might expect often signifies closure, certainty, finality – and is what we often use at the end of a sentence, as well as:· Usually for straight questions expecting more straight answers – “Is the team playing today or tomorrow?” / “Tomorrow.”· “What will Professor Harris say?” · “Why is she so upset?” · “Why are you complaining?” · “Where could you send the students?” · “Who knows what he did?” So, in natural spoken English, we are brought up to understand that a downward inflection suggests the combined attributes of credibility and closure. I was recently helping my goddaughter Corey and her boyfriend Dan move house. Because I could only give them til 2 that afternoon before I was due at another engagement, I was given a specific task of cleaning the kitchen cupboards and stocking them with crockery, cutlery and cookware. Nearing the end of this time I said: “Right, I think I'm done here”. Say that sentence with an upward inflection and it suggests some doubt in whether I had finished to their satisfaction, or maybe that I had a few more minutes in which I could do something else for them. With a downward inflection it says the opposite: that I know I have finished, I have run out of time and am unable to do anything else. It sends a ‘tonal signal' to the listener of the underlying intent of the actual words and is used, for example, to avoid explanation or confrontation. In presentation situations, a newsreader's inflection will go down at the end of a story to signify not only that the item has come to an end, but also the credibility of what has just been said. We tend to go down to signify being emphatic, when saying a statement or command or exclamation.· “I've got to go to work”· “That's wonderful”· “Put that down!”Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.07 – 0311 – The Upward Circumflex Intonation Within A Word This is when you start saying a word in one tone, and then end it on another, giving the word an upward tonal spin from one syllable to another. It suggests a wavering lack of finality as well as: · Doubt – “I'm not sure what I think about that…” · Worry – “Will you finish now?” · A simple question that expects a simple answer – “Did you ever visit Paris?” · Do you think I care? · Should I send you an e-mail? · Would you finish this today? As we have seen before, we also use a rising intonation when we're asking a question. “Do you want another beer?” As the tone is unresolved, it's used as an ‘intonation invitation', a way of inviting a response to the question. It can also be used in lists. So your friends have said yes they do want another beer, and you go to the bar: “I'll have a Heineken, a Budweiser, a Coors and a packet of crisps”. Each different item, or beer, is often said with a rising intonation, but with a falling intonation, on “crisps” to indicate that we've finished.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.06 – 0310 – The ‘Intonation Circumflex'But one doesn't always merely ‘push' a whole word, sometimes by changing your inflection within a word it carries another meaning. This is the ‘word-wobble' or ‘circumflex intonation', denoting doubt by the reader. Consider the statement “the Moon is made of cheese” and the reply “Really?”. That reply could be said:· Really? – a matter-of-fact slightly disbelievingly, with a low, emphatic tone· Really? – a slightly more intrigued answer, as though there could be something in the claim. Said in a typical questioning way· Really?? - more questioning tone, possibly with a three-tone change within the single word:o re – said as a high-toneo le – as a lower toneo leee? – as a rising tone· Really??? – said in a way that suggests desperation with the speaker, and said with a frown and grimace.Another example from the newsroom: “The police authority said ‘no-one was available to be interviewed this week'…” A ‘word-wobble' on “available”, indicates your suspicion that their claim is unlikely. So far, we have looked at intonation on a simple colouring (or un-colouring) of a word by a degree or two. But of course, in conversation we do more than simply raise or lower the intonation on an individual word. Although as we saw earlier, intonation is itself a complex combination of tone, pause and projection, when talking naturally we do something else a little more complex.Welcome to intonation circumflex - the change of the pitch of a voice within a word or within syllable. And even though that sounds complicated, as you will see, it's what we do very often without realising, and in doing so it gives the listener even more information about our meaning than the words themselves.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.05 – 0309 – Intonation for ComediansOK this is a bit off topic, but let's spend a moment looking at intonation in respect of the delivery of a joke. One of the reasons something is funny is because it is unexpected. And that may mean you have to change your intonation to signpost the humour. So (and this is not the joke!) what do you call the situation when lots of cars are filling a road and none of them are moving? A ‘traffic jam' right? And you would naturally put the colour on the word “traffic” yes? Ok so look how you have to say that phrase when it appears as the punchline to this kids' joke: “Why did the girl smear peanut butter on the road? To go with the traffic jam!” To make it funny (?) you had to stress (and yes, I probably do mean to use that word here!) the “jam” part, so it balances with the “peanut butter” reference. Here's another example: “What musical instrument is found in the bathroom? A tuba toothpaste.” Here you say the punchline with the colour on “tuba”, whereas in the phrase “a tube of toothpaste” you'd highlight “toothpaste”. In a joke or witticism, surprise is partly because of the use of synonyms, say here: “My wife just ran off with my best friend. Oh boy do I miss him.” The punchline is the very last word, itself a synonym for “best friend” In this ‘intonation misdirection', the comic plays down the first reference to something so as not to draw attention to it. The new information is, contradictorily, left un-coloured so the second mention can be more of a surprise and the punchline funnier. This misdirection is because the comic is giving the impression that the gag is being adlibbed – that they themselves don't know the punchline and so they don't know to lift what later turns out to be significant details in it. Many good lines are ruined because the teller lacked the act of seeming to be spontaneous in their presentation and intonation. And a slightly more risqué example from the BBC Radio 4 series “I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue”: “Colin [the pianist on the panel show] tells us that it was Johnny Cash that helped him buy his first piano. He says back in the 1970s those condom machines were a licence to print money”.

2021.11.04 – 0308 – How Mis-Intonation Can Cause Mis-DirectionNot intonating the correct words can completely alter its meaning and tone, leading to a completely different message given to the listener. He said their action had made a walkout inevitable. Stressing the word “he” might suggest there are others who would disagree with this statement. He said their action had made a walkout inevitable. Emphasising the word said casts doubt on the truth of the statement, implying there are grounds for disbelieving it. He said their action had made a walkout inevitable. The speaker now sounds as though he is pointing a finger in accusation at another group of people. He said their action had made a walkout inevitable. This has an intriguing double-meaning. Does had suggest the possibility of a walkout was true earlier, but is no longer the case, or is the stress on “had” a rebuttal, as though denying a suggestion that the action would not lead to a walkout? Think about it.

2021.11.03 – 0307 – 13 – A Brief Bit on Brackets (or ‘A Pause for a Part on Parentheses')You will be unlikely to find these in news or commercial reads (although sometimes you might), these are clauses which may appear with brackets around them, or – just like this – with dashes… or maybe ellipses. On other times, depending on the style of the writer, they may appear inside commas. As bracketed phrases (or those in parenthesis) may appear in an ebook narration, let's spend a few moments looking at these structures. These constructions are like an ‘aside' to the reader, an added bit of information or clarification on what has just been said. Using them leads to a script which is rather more formal and flowery and this naturally disrupts the flow of a read. Usually such clauses can, with permission, be put into another separate sentence or omitted completely. I have used several clauses with this construction already in the three paragraphs above. Take a look back and read them out loud and you will hopefully, either take a slight pause either side of them or drop your pitch as you read them. You may do both. Again, think of them as asides, but not complete sentences in themselves, so don't go down at the end of them as you have the rest of the sentence to finish reading! “The fire was, the witness said, started at about 5am”. “The witness said” is a clarifying clause and so can be dropped in tone. Let's look at this sentence from the same trial:“The defendant, wearing a white blouse and blue skirt, entered a plea of not guilty”. OK her attire is new information, and you can slightly colour “white blouse” and “blue skirt” with a slight pause either side. Why only slightly colour? Yes, it's new information but it's not germane to the understanding of the story, it is literally colour, and added ‘fun fact'. If you left it out it would make no difference to the sentence – nothing would be lost in the understanding or the telling of the tale. “The fire, which killed more than a five hundred pigs, broke out at Old McDonald's Farm, last June.” Ah. Now we have new information that's both significant and surprising, so this deserves to be coloured rather more, and with a pause either side too.

2021.11.02 – 0306 – 12 – Positive Intonation About Negative InformationRemember earlier we looked at the fulcrum of facts in a story or sentence? That is, ‘this person says this and that person says that'? Well that can be developed into situations when ‘that person says this happened and that person says it did not'. In other words, negatives, opposites, contrasts and contradictions. Words such as “didn't”, “disagreed”, “refused”, “never”, “hadn't”, “not”, “no” and “none” are usually key words because they point to what the sentence, story or script is about. The same goes for words which have a similar job in a sentence, “should”, “ought”, “may” and so on. Colouring such words then, highlights an actual (or implied) view which is opposite. “The moon is not made of green cheese” suggests that someone has just said that it is. A great place to look for examples of this sentence and intonation construction is in a court room – as what happens in there is very much a case of opposing accounts. “One witness said it was a man in a green hat, another said it was a woman in a red one”. So if you started a story with “The trial of a police officer accused of murder, has heard claims that he did not set fire to the hostel where seven people died” then it would be natural to highlight the word “not”. “The officer was asked whether he had a can of fuel with him on the night. ‘I did not' he replied”. “The prosecutor said ‘You of all people should know that carrying fuel is disallowed'” Well, here we have another type of negative in “disallowed”. Unlike “didn't”, “hadn't” “couldn't” in which the negative is a suffix to the main word (did > did not and so on), disallowed (along with its cousins, disorder, disappear, disadvantage, non-essential, non-fiction, unable, unhappy, untidy, unlucky, unusual and so on) has a ‘negative prefix' to the main word. Look back at that list and say them to yourself. Don't you naturally lift or colour the main part of the word rather than its ‘negative prefix'? “The cat disappeared”, “where is the non-fiction section, please?”, “she was deeply unhappy” and so on. That's apart from when we introduce our old friend ‘contrast' again. If those sentences above were contradicting known or implied information then you would colour the prefix: “The cat loves playing in the cardboard box. It appeared and then disappeared”, “I can see the fiction shelves, but where is the non-fiction section, please?”, “He was overjoyed, but she was deeply unhappy”. Talking of negatives, and as I mentioned previously, be careful with the words “can” and can't” as in some accents they may sound very similar (with my south east England accent I pronounce them ‘can' and ‘carnt', but in more northern areas it's ‘can' and ‘cant'). “Police say you can't drive on the new road” – may be open to misinterpretation unless you say “cannot”.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

2021.11.01 – 0305 – 11 – Positive Intonation About Positive InformationThe ideas about highlighting contrasting and new information join together, when we look at ‘positive' words such as ‘any', ‘all' and ‘always'. “Police found a body in a house on Devilgate Drive, and they didn't allow anyone to walk up there.” Remember our shades of colour in intonation. The fact that they didn't allow anyone up the road, is new information and “anyone” may be lifted slightly. But in the following sentence the same word is not only new, but also contrasts with information earlier in the sentence: “Police found a body in a house on Devilgate Drive, and they didn't let residents to get back home, in fact they didn't allow anyone to walk up there.” In this example one would naturally lift “anyone” slightly more, because of those two reasons. Similar structures can be found with “any”: “I wasn't allowed any sweets” (a slight lift on “any”) and “I wasn't allowed the bar of chocolate. I wasn't allowed any sweets” (with a greater lift on “any”). So these words are rarely coloured unless they are strongly contrasting with what has gone previously.
