“Finding our voice is perhaps the biggest challenge we face as writers.” Upon finding your voice, everything else comes naturally. Having a strong voice makes us stand out against every other writer in this world. It also allows us to connect with our readers and keep them coming back. So how do we find our voice? It is perceived that we were born with a certain voice and it is up to discover it. In reality, our voice develops over time and sometimes we even develop it through studying other people. One thing to remember is never write the way you speak because it will leave readers confused and leaving you look grammatically challenged. Written voice is more emotional and sensory because you don’t have body language to rely on like we do when we speak. The following are four examples of types of voice.
EVERNOTE
In evernote, the topic is straight to the point and addresses a wide audience. This type of voice is very simple. An example is, “remember everything that matters whether is be pictures, books, words, etc.”
MAN CRATES
In man crates, it is a type of voice geared more towards specific people which allows the writer to get more in depth with the topic. More words are being used but more emotion is being used to help get the point across.
NANCY DUARTE
Nancy Duarte uses a lot of sensory words so that it stirs up an image in our minds. This is strongly liked because it helps better communicate her ideas.
JON MORROW
In Jon Morrow, he is known to be over the top using lots of emotion. He sometimes repel readers but he speaks very strongly towards his audience.
