Slinky Vendor
Will someone please tell Jackie, the Slinky vendor with the horrible, monotone voice, to stop repeating over and over the same sales pitch…"You can wear it to work; you can wear it out; you can wear it in the daytime; you can wear it in the dark; you could wear it up; you could wear it down……." No one is going to take her seriously after a while. Shoppers all around the country are probably changing the channel. Poor Anji tried to cut in on several different occasions, and couldn’t get a word in!

I agree, she needs to hire a polished presenter who has a pleasant voice for broadcasting.
-
I thought I was the only thinking this in my head so I changed the channel!

This vendor definitely could take voice lessons and have control over her voice. I agree that it is like nails on a chalkboard. She seems very nice but I can’t watch and therefore I don’t buy. There is a host that I can’t watch because she talks like a baby. Shopping channels should have speech workshops for hosts and vendors. QVC’s Lisa Robertson, like her or not, had one of the best speaking voices on TV.

I’m sorry, but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She may be a nice person, but she needs some elocution lessons. People must have to really like that line to be able to deal with that voice for two hours. I’m not sure I even like the clothing; it has a frumpy look to me.

I feel bad for this lady. People constantly criticize her. She seems like a genuinely nice person. She can’t control the sound of her voice anymore than we can control our voices. I hate the sound of my voice too. I have a fairly heavy east coast accent and sometimes when I have to engage in a dialogue with a stranger or someone who is meeting me for the first time, I get idiotic looks. So, I know what it’s like to be condemned. Everyone is so superficial these days. It would be nice for a change to have people judge others based on their character, personality, and good qualities.

Poor Miss Jackie, she was born with the voice she has, just like you and me. Yes it is a little nasal so please stop with the negative comments. WE all have our faults. Every time she is on this or a similar thread pops up.
I agree that phrases are repeated but every vendor and host does that too. She just happens to have about a zillion items in her shows, because they are all sold out before you can say sold out. So she has to describe them all, which means phrases will be repeated.
-
I agree get someone else to represent the brand. I dont mind the accent it appears she is always yelling. Is she hard of hearing? The poor hosts cant get a word in about the product.

Well now, I wouldn’t be able to see the items and presentation if I changed the channel.
The point of listening to a presentation is getting details and information you wouldn’t otherwise get.
Feel free not to complain about someone else’s complaint. That truly is ‘the pot calling the kettle black.’ Wouldn’t you say?

"If you read something you don’t like, you may want to click over to a different thread."
This is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black, dontcha think?
If you hear something you don’t like, (ala Jackie, the Slinky vendor), you may want to lower the volume, or change the channel.

So many of the same complaints pop up on this forum repeatedly. With all the whining and nagging some of you do regarding Hsn and its policies, deliveries, customer service, customer reviews, etc., etc., I would think you could withstand another opinion (complaint). Next time I’ll conduct a forum meeting so that the intended victim will get your approval. You don’t mind contributing to ‘repeat’ sniping when it’s someone or something that annoys YOU.
There are three or more threads regarding Tyra. Really??
There’s a Shannon thread that has re-appeared. I’ll expect you to jump over there thusly to scold those agitators.
-
you mean like repeating the same complaint over and over?
