18. How would your voice effect the ethnic backgroud you are in?
My ethnic background many people use their hands as communicating with other individuals. My voice does not effect my ethnic background in a bad way, it helps me communicate well with family and friends and it helps me see that people from the same background as me communicate in similar ways. My background is based on a lot of verbal communication which is important.
 
By observing what my interviewee thought about this questions, she believes that ethnic background does not have anything to do with voice. It helps her communicate because the background that she comes from there are alot hand moments and gestures. Voice helps her communicate with her family and friends more easily and this is important to her. When i wrote this question I was thinking about a whole different aspect of this question. Yes, voice has to do with your spoken voice which includes speech but your writing voice can be effected as well. How can your writing voice be effected? It can be effected because depending on your background you can strongly feel about a topic and potray that in your writing. For example African Americans went thru slavery so depending on how you feel about this topic can determine how much a person can write on this topic and how they potray their voice in a strong manner. Like different backgrounds can be influenced, different experiences can play a role also.
