0447 – Conversational Contradictions

2022.03.23 – 0447 – Conversational Contradictions

So, let’s take what we have learnt so far to the next level. Some of what follows will enforce what we have looked at before, but other parts may seem a bit contradictory for example, building in hesitations, softening intonations and ignoring punctuations – but that doesn’t mean the previous pages/podcasts have been a waste of time. Far from it! You have to ‘know the rules’ before you can break them. After all, we don’t follow ‘the rules of the written word’ when we speak in a conversation. So, if you want to replicate that naturalistic, authentic style, then read on.

We will also look at different kinds of presentational styles and how to make sure you understand the script: not the words, but the message (or messages) and the target audience. Because, a bit like the Royal Mail, only by knowing who the message is addressed to, can it be delivered precisely.
