Why [Human] Voice Matters

Physically voiced words are often more compelling than those we read on a screen or a page. There is something about the human voice that says, โ€œIโ€™m here. Iโ€™m present.โ€ As writers, we attempt to mimic the human voice as much as possible. The more our writing sounds like the human voice, the more invisible it becomesโ€”and the more the message we want to portray gets across.
