I found this quite an easy puzzle, solving time 14 mins. I spotted a Nina (i.e. a hidden message) in the grid. In case solvers wish to look again first, I refer to this after the clue explanations.

We know the words ‘enunciate’ and ‘announce’ but not many of us may be familiar with
the one at 6d. However, it’s obtainable easily from wordplay. Seasoned solvers will get all
the other Down clues in a ‘read the clue and write the answer’ mode. The Across clues are
also on predictable lines. Altogether, a beginner-friendly puzzle.
