00:00 [Polish]
00:02 At the end of September, on the 29th,
00:05 there will be a Polish Day of Loud Reading.
00:08 And on this occasion, we invited a professional to the study of Koszalin's voice.
00:13 She is a Koszalin's reader, teacher and mother,
00:18 Julita Lachowska, who you may know from the Pendolino trains,
00:25 because you are the voice of this line.
00:30 Yes, I am the voice of this line, but not only.
00:33 I have been working in a company called Mikrofonika for 20 years.
00:36 It is an international company, which is so lucky to have great people
00:41 and people working all over the world.
00:45 It is a company that is located in Koszalin,
00:48 but it covers the whole world and I have the pleasure of belonging to this team.
00:53 As we know about the existence of this company,
00:56 we decided to invite someone who can read,
00:59 to encourage our readers, our internauts, to read aloud.
01:06 Did you read to your child when you were little?
01:10 I have always read to my daughter Miłka,
01:13 Miłeczka, my darling, who is unfortunately far away now,
01:17 and I read to her on the Internet.
01:20 She reads my texts, but also listens to certain things.
01:23 When I read some longer narratives, I do not hide the fact that I send them to her,
01:28 for her to rate them and for her to find them more pleasant.
01:31 I wrote fairy tales for her, I wrote fairy tales for her,
01:34 I wrote various texts and she was the first listener.
01:38 However, in front of the microphone, in the microphone stand 20 years,
01:42 a full 20 years is starting now.
01:45 However, I have always been reading.
01:47 I believe that reading is the basis of life, not mathematics,
01:51 not counting, although it is also the case.
01:54 However, I believe that reading is the basis.
01:58 Reading develops thinking, sensitivity,
02:00 reading develops social skills.
02:03 Without reading, there would be no world for me.
02:06 From your perspective, as a mother, but also as a teacher of children in grades 1-3,
02:12 what is the most important thing for a child to listen to these texts,
02:19 when he cannot yet read them?
02:22 A child listens to texts when he or she is mastering the art of concentration.
02:28 The more he or she listens, the more time he or she can devote to concentration,
02:33 which later leads to the fact that he or she can listen to other people,
02:37 he or she can listen to themselves, appreciate the beauty of nature,
02:40 their poetry, observe and compare.
02:43 So reading makes you sensitive.
02:46 As a teacher for many years, as a mother for many years,
02:50 I believe that reading is simply the most beautiful thing in the world
02:55 and that is why I am doing it.
02:58 I have a Polish teacher who took care of me,
03:02 who made sure that I would be forever fascinated by Polish literature
03:07 and would present it somewhere.
03:10 And thanks to you, I would like to remind you that there is a Polish Day of Loud Reading.
03:17 The school I work in, school number 18, grades 1-3,
03:21 will be able to take part in it.
03:24 I do not know yet, because it is a secret.
03:27 I will not be the one to take part in such loud reading.
03:31 If there is such a proposal, maybe some other time.
03:34 However, we have come up with a slightly different convention.
03:38 For example, the head of the school,
03:43 the secretary and the psychologist,
03:47 who works with us,
03:50 sorry, the special pedagogue,
03:53 who works with us at school number 18.
03:56 A great team, beautiful people, sensitive,
03:59 who will definitely do it in an individual way,
04:04 but they will also show the children that reading skills are useful in every profession
04:09 and the ability to interest the viewer.
04:12 And the viewers, grades 1-3, are demanding.
04:16 And the listeners, too.
04:18 I realize that not everyone can take a text and read it right away,
04:23 so they probably feel stress.
04:26 I am talking about performing in public and reading,
04:29 but even in a bedroom with a child who is already asleep,
04:34 there may be some resistance in reading the text.
04:38 How to break it?
04:39 What advice would you give to someone who has never dealt with loud reading
04:44 and would like to spend this time with a child?
04:47 At the moment, technology is so advanced,
04:50 there is so much to choose from.
04:53 I have read audiobooks, for example, and I also enjoyed reading this kind of things.
04:58 I think that such fairy tales can be even online,
05:03 and mom and dad and grandma and grandpa can read something,
05:07 but for the child to fall asleep in the rhythm of not a vacuum cleaner and not a turn-on dryer,
05:12 because it just defeats me, but the voice.
05:15 I must admit that I am a fan of listening, too.
05:19 I have my favorite readers.
05:21 I am not hiding the fact that they are male voices.
05:24 I relax so much while listening to them.
05:29 Great texts, great voices, great interpretations,
05:33 but when parents listen to them, they also gain confidence
05:37 that they can do it themselves and they will do it beautifully.
05:40 So what? If someone is ashamed to listen to professional audiobooks first and try…
05:46 But we are not ashamed of the child.
05:48 The child loves us unconditionally, and we are the most beautiful and the wisest for the child.
05:53 So we are not ashamed of the child at all.
05:56 If we are honest, even if we make a mistake,
06:00 I am not hiding the fact that sometimes I change something on purpose,
06:04 trying to provoke the situation that the child will say, "No, it wasn't like that."
06:09 For example, I read some Andersen's fairy tale and I check their sensitivity.
06:15 "No, ma'am, it wasn't like that."
06:18 And the child will also catch the situation.
06:22 There are anecdotes when a parent wants to shorten a fairy tale or a fairy tale
06:26 and reads it to the child, reads it again, because it is still…
06:29 And he skips three pages.
06:31 And he skips three pages, and the child, who is supposedly asleep,
06:34 opens his eyes and says, "You missed it!"
06:37 Or, "It was about that."
06:39 So I think that reading is really about sensitizing
06:45 and building a bond of relationship between parents.
06:48 Exactly. So what?
06:50 A parent is not ashamed of the child, but does he work on his breathing?
06:54 Not at all.
06:55 Or does he give it up completely?
06:56 He will.
06:57 He will.
06:58 Please don't worry about such things at the beginning,
07:01 because not everyone can be a reader.
07:03 Not everyone is a hairdresser.
07:05 Not everyone is a reporter, a journalist, a sound engineer.
07:08 Everyone can do something else.
07:10 But if you read with your heart,
07:12 read with your whole self, or with your whole self,
07:15 the child will sense it, because it really is about spontaneity and truthfulness.
07:22 And pretending to be a voice,
07:24 putting on a different form, does it help?
07:26 It is a higher driving school.
07:28 But the gentlemen, the grandfathers, are certainly doing it great.
07:31 They are more open.
07:33 The ladies generally have a slightly higher voice.
07:36 And I have to, if I can,
07:38 make a digression here,
07:40 so that the ladies are less nervous,
07:42 then the voice is a little bit lower,
07:45 and the child is quieter.
07:47 Because the higher we speak,
07:49 we arouse the child's anxiety.
07:51 So if I had only one recipe,
07:54 it would be to lower the voice a little bit,
07:57 the scale of the voice,
07:59 and the tone would be simply friendlier for the child.
08:02 And maybe two parents should sit down and read?
08:05 Not all of them.
08:07 The children love theatre.
08:09 My daughter used to do performances with the children.
08:12 Two chairs, a blanket,
08:14 dolls,
08:16 and behind the blanket, first.
08:19 I really regret that my child doesn't read,
08:21 because she reads great,
08:23 has a voice similar to mine,
08:25 and I think that if she were here,
08:27 she would do similar things.
08:29 But she took up a completely different world.
08:31 Such a choice.
08:33 She will read with her children.
08:35 So, absolutely, we are not ashamed,
08:37 we sit down with the children,
08:39 we read books, not only on 29th September,
08:41 but all year round.
08:43 All year round.
08:45 We read on the beach, in the forest,
08:47 we recall poems,
08:49 we learn short poems,
08:51 two-line, three-line poems,
08:54 we repeat rhymes,
08:58 let it become a tradition,
09:01 one, two, one, two,
09:03 a certain lady had a dog,
09:05 we teach the child from the beginning.
09:09 So, everything is still ahead of you.
09:13 So, I really encourage you to read,
09:18 not necessarily professional reading.
09:21 I also didn't get to the microphone
09:25 before the Radio Północ as a professional.
09:28 I just felt the topic,
09:31 that the microphone is close to me,
09:33 and you have to give yourself a chance,
09:35 you have to try.
09:37 You mentioned your work,
09:39 you also read texts,
09:42 which can be listened to in the form of audiobooks.
09:45 What is the most difficult in this?
09:47 One of the readers of the "Mikrofonika"
09:49 said that it is not the voice that hurts the most,
09:52 but the back from sitting
09:54 with this book and hours of reading to the microphone.
09:57 Yes, I don't read for hours,
09:59 I recorded at home,
10:01 but the longest texts I tried to read
10:04 at once is 20-30 minutes,
10:07 and you really have to breathe a little,
10:10 because the body breathes differently.
10:12 It is read differently for the child,
10:14 differently when you are aware
10:16 that someone will read it.
10:18 It was difficult for me to read "The Little Prince",
10:20 I'm not hiding it,
10:22 because I was chosen for the male role.
10:24 And if a woman reads,
10:26 it would be difficult to read it
10:28 with so-called sex.
10:30 It's just hard to read such things.
10:33 However, I don't want to bore you,
10:39 but we read, read, read,
10:42 we learn and we expand our skills,
10:46 we expand our chest,
10:48 we expand our breathing.
10:50 The longer we read,
10:52 the longer we can stand,
10:54 the longer we dive and swim.
10:56 But it's a matter of training.
11:00 I would advise,
11:02 if someone is interested in being a reader,
11:06 and there is such an opportunity in Koszalin,
11:09 there is an open bank,
11:11 and you can apply,
11:13 if someone feels this topic
11:15 and would like to read the narration,
11:17 TV ads for local radio,
11:19 there is such an opportunity.
11:21 It's a matter of training.
11:24 I ask my colleagues myself.
11:26 We meet every year
11:28 at the General Polish Meetings.
11:30 It's a nice situation,
11:32 because we get to know each other
11:34 not by appearance, but by voice.
11:36 And only then it connects.
11:38 And only then, for example,
11:40 we are on the circles,
11:42 "Oh, it's you, it's you,
11:44 you read this audiobook,
11:46 and I'm listening to it, right?"
11:48 I think these are nice meetings.
11:51 Not everyone reads audiobooks right away.
11:54 There is also so-called "gymnastics",
11:57 I attach great importance to it,
12:01 and I show my children various exercises.
12:04 There was "Oh, crazy, oh!"
12:06 So we play, open the cage,
12:08 sit down beautifully, straight.
12:10 There is one music a week,
12:12 I sing it every day.
12:15 So I invite you to classes at school 18.
12:19 Since you already mentioned
12:22 getting to know each other by voice,
12:24 once Mr. Knapik told an anecdote
12:27 that when he started to speak too loudly
12:29 at a party in a block,
12:31 someone knocked on the door
12:33 and asked to mute the phone.
12:35 Did you also happen to be recognized by someone by voice?
12:38 Yes, a man recognized me in a shop,
12:41 I won't say which one, in a big shop,
12:44 in Koszalin, a few moments after the recording of the messages,
12:48 and the messages were like a kind of a circle,
12:53 decorated with the words "This is a girl from Koszalin",
12:56 and the man was very attentive
12:58 and asked me, standing in the queue behind me,
13:00 when I spoke in the shop,
13:02 "Do you read, don't you read
13:04 the Intercity and Pendolino trains?"
13:07 I turned around and said, "Yes, yes,
13:09 it happens sometimes."
13:11 I don't just read there,
13:13 you can hear me in many places.
13:15 I read about many medicines,
13:17 about many medications,
13:19 I read various narratives.
13:21 I do a lot, because I like it.
13:23 OK, and we also encourage our viewers
13:27 who are watching us right now
13:30 to read every day,
13:32 not only to children,
13:34 but also to yourself, by voice,
13:37 and we encourage you to celebrate this day.
13:41 Celebrate the day, but I will say one more little thing.
13:44 If you go to the director
13:46 and want to speak,
13:48 it is also worth doing it beautifully.
13:50 It is worth standing in front of the mirror
13:53 and saying such a speech to the director.
13:56 Whether it will work later or a little less,
13:58 but this attempt suggests
14:00 that we feel more confident
14:02 in every situation.
14:04 And the reader also does not read the text,
14:06 he is not prepared.
14:08 The reader reads the text
14:10 he already knows before.
14:12 So it is not a situation
14:14 where you go to the studio
14:16 and everything comes out beautifully.
14:18 Exercise, exercise, exercise.
14:20 I must say, it is also a gift.
14:23 So reading for children
14:25 can also be useful,
14:27 for example, at work, as you say, right?
14:29 Very much, yes.
14:30 Or in other situations,
14:32 where you just need to say something.
14:34 Okay, cool.
14:35 Thank you for this advice.
14:36 Thank you very much.
14:37 Thank you very much for the interview.
14:39 Once again, I remind you,
14:41 our guest was a great voice,
14:43 but also, as you can hear,
14:45 a great teacher and reader,
14:47 Julita Lachowska.
14:49 Thank you very much for your attention.
14:51 Thank you very much, it was nice to meet you.
