Audio essays incorporate more human
senses than a regular piece of writing, giving your point more feeling and
excitement than just simple words can illustrate. It’s like the difference
between radio and television because you’re not just reading it your hearing
it, and which makes a paper seem less like a paper and more of a conversation.
Audio essays don’t include summaries or quotes
said by a person its actual words spoken by the person telling their point that
helps prove the point you’re trying to make, this is what makes audio essays
more like conversations because point are being made by the words of actual
people. This makes it more interesting to people because it isn’t just a bunch
of words. But there is a difference when you’re introducing people who you are
using quotes from because unlike written essays audio essay you talk about the
person who said the quote after the quote instead of before. When using sound
bits of information it just has to relate to the subject of the paper or even
if it’s not just as long as it improves the overall feeling people get when
they hear it then you have used the correct sound bit because all it is suppose
to do is hook the reader back into the essay and make your paper that more
interesting and enjoyable. Sound bites are also great times to transition
between points of your essay which is a great substitute to just using words
like also.
So when using audio essays instead of just
a regular essay you have more freedom with what you can do because audio essays
give you more options that you have at your disposal . Things like sounds bits
to help transition between points and using audio quotes to make your points
seem more real because it’s the actual person talking so it is a lot harder to
take their words out of content. Using these correctly make your audio essay a
lot more interesting than just a regular essay because when you are speaking
you have more room to convey things that you normally would not normally be
able to correctly put down onto paper.
The NPR examples I used were
“Why Dividens, Capital Gains are a Big
Part of Fiscal Cliff Talks”
“Would Raising Taxes on Investment
Income Hurt the Economy”
