Good enunciation helps good transcription!

I really don’t mean to pick on ComingSoon.net, but some of their word choices when they mis-transcribe a Q&A; are rather funny.

Last month, I noted the appearance of the word “extensionalism” — instead of what I think was supposed to be “existentialist” — in their Q&A; with Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore.

Now, they have posted this interview with Mike Rich, who wrote The Nativity Story. And check out this sentence:

Actually, the scenes that were the most difficult I think were the scenes that where the most faithful to the biblical text, the enunciation scene with Gabriel, the scene in which Mary arrived at Elizabeth’s, we stayed very, very close to the text, and those scenes put the most pressure on the actors because it’s tough for Keisha in that particular scene to go from fear to awe to willingness to acceptance in about 45 seconds.

The “enunciation scene”? Love it! Now I’ve got visions of a My Fair Lady revival, with Gabriel teaching Mary how to say “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain,” dancing through my head.
