Although Jeremy Clarkson is infamous for relying
on comedy (often controversial) to present shows like Top Gear, he is actually
very good at what he does. He’s confident in front of a camera, and uses the
common visual techniques to emphasize certain words and phrases –
like unfolding his hands, or tilting his head upwards.
Verbal Techniques and speech, it’s all very clean.
He doesn’t have an accent as such, he just uses simple, easy to understand
English/vocabulary. The perfect middle ground pretty much. More towards the
formal side of language, but not so much that it could be described as ‘Queen’s
English,’ or posh.
Clarkson’s
presenting is ideal for his target audience, (Primarily people who watch Top
Gear) because he is funny. Although he is a very good presenter, he is very
generic with how he carries himself in front of a camera, and is comparable to
almost anyone. This is because the target audience for his shows don’t care
about flashy presenting. His presenting is basic, and straight to the point.
