Lindsey is also a pronunciation coach and gives workshops on contemporary English pronunciation, at University College London and internationally. He was interviewed on intonation as the studio guest of Stephen Fry on the BBC radio series Fry's English Delight. He has argued that the phonetic transcriptions for Received Pronunciation used in dictionaries are outdated as the upper-class accent of the 20th century has died out. He has proposed a replacement transcription system for a more modern form of British English.
