The voice coaching didn't happen (or wasn't completed) during her run-up, Mr Red. There's recorded evidence that Maggie Hatchett's voice deepened while she was (ahem) on the job: the recording of her abusing quoting St Patrick's prayer on-air, during the coverage of her going into No 10, doesn't have that distinctive menace associated with her voice in later years.
