In this Craft Essay, Kate Carroll de Gutes uses special characters (up and down arrows) to indicate how to score our own writing to improve our vocal delivery. She suggests symbols to show us—at a glance—where we want to slow down, speed up, pause, emphasize. Because WordPress cannot handle the specialized symbols, this essay, “Can You Hear Me Now? How Reading Our Writing Aloud Informs Audiences and Ourselves,” can be read here in PDF form.

Love how the first paragraph made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the great essay. I learned a few tips about delivery from you this morning which I will promptly forget when I’m interviewed on a podcast tonight.
