- Over the years I’ve written in a variety of forms, but they can be divided into 2 categories: writing for the ear (audio & video scripts, radio & television spots, speeches & slide/PPT talks); writing for the eye (articles, news stories, news releases, brochures, ad copy). Writing that is good for the eye may not be as good for the ear. Hence this blog.
Writing for the Ear: a Primer
- 1) How 'Writing for the Ear' helps speechmaking
- 2) Nervousness -- how it can help a presentation
- 3) It all begins with preparation
- 4) Delivery: how it can make your message stand out
- 5) The formula for speechmaking
- 6) How to encourage questions
- 7) Can they hear you?
- 8) Achieving one-to-one communication

That article (I assume you're referring to the recent on in the New Yorker) was indeed an eye-opener. It's certainly not an issue that I or most people would ever think about, but I found it fascinating nonetheless.
I shouldn't admit it, but the only time I read the New Yorker is when I fish one out of our condo's recycling bin. I do subscribe to Handball Magazine, though.
Your secret's safe with me. At least you're being environmentally responsible.
