These questions seem to be very irrelevant to my topic but I still analyzed them. The one I thought was extremely important are in my paper. I told C what voice was but her interpretation of it was the literal meaning, as in voice that comes straight from your mouth.

4. In the book 50 shades of gray what type of voice is the author portraying?

The author is portraying a modern day love affair and certain sexual scenes that are portrayed in this book. The author portrays a disappointing message to all women about the value of love in any relationship they may be.

5. Is the author's voice ethical?

The voice of the author is emotional and passionate. The author’s challenge is to harness prospect-emotion and create enough of a positive atmosphere and perceived value to purchase from readers. Readers need to understand the emotional contact in this book and how important it is.

I felt like these questions were pointless. The professor suggested questions to this nature but my interviewee never read the book. She goggled it on the internet and it still didn’t really help in any kind of way.  These questions would have been helpful because it would have shown how voice was portrayed in a particular piece.

This particular book the inner voice is persuasive and convincing because these are a type of book once you read it you don’t want to point it down. Not sure about the author past but that can have something to do with why they choose to write about love affairs. For the second question is voice ethical, yes it is. I believe what the author is trying to get across is whether what they are doing in the book is right or wrong, he makes the situations interesting so reader will continue to read

7. What does voice mean to you? (This can be anything)

Voice means explaining yourself either about a certain topic you may need to write or read about, or explaining yourself to a family member or friend. Using your voice is important.

Voice to me is a totally different definition. I believe voice can be socially constructed and your own.  If someone doesn’t understand what you are trying to come across in your voice then you would have to explain yourself. Voice is very important and has many different perceptions

9. What you to make your voice heard in your writing?

Addressing voice on what subject I may be writing about is what is important. Voicing on what is heard in my writing is important whether it is about fiction or non-fiction. When it comes to writing people need to voice their actions about what they are writing and how they feel about it.

Regardless of the genre whether it is fiction or non- fiction it has a voice that must be heard is very important. In order to be heard people must go forth with their actions.

10. What does voice in text and spoken mean to you?

Voice in text means words that I can feel in my heart when someone texts me. For instance, say someone texts a person about how they feel. Normally I could feel their pain whether they are happy or not I can tell if they are lying about their feelings or not. It is easier to tell someone’s voice though, when being spoken to because everyone’s voice changes when they are either happy or sad, because when a person is happy their tone is like higher then when a person is sad their tone is low and not mellow.

This question was taken literal she thought that I meant text messages and voice as spoken speech

11. What do you do to make your voice heard when giving a speech?

I use my voice clearly, by making my words clear and heard well. Speeches are not easy especially when you are going for a job interview, you must know how well to keep your voice toned and what words to say when at a job interview. Being able to use your voice correctly is what is important, especially when going for something so important. Many people are turned down jobs because they do not voice themselves the way the interviewer may want it to be done.

What I meant in this question was what type of tone would voice have when given a speech but by reading data this not what it meant.

12. Do you enjoy free-writing or structured writing?

Free- writing is my favorite because it is just taking things from the mind and writing them down when as structured writing needs to be thought upon. I do a lot of free-writing when I am bored so my inner thoughts can be written down and my body feels better when I do this. Free-writing is just a relaxed process where many people do this and it feels good.

I was inspired to ask this question because my data shows that voice is original or socially constructed, so I incorporated it to writing. I personally enjoy free writing. C also enjoys free-writing. Structured writing takes a lot more thought and planning most students don’t enjoy this part writing. The inner voice can be found in both pieces of writing.

13. When you’re free-writing how is voice influenced?

Free-writing voice is influenced by your words being spoken in the mind. Your voice may be low at this time but voice always plays a major factor in any kind of writing that is being taken place. Without voice, it would be hard to get your feelings out and what you need to get done would be harder. Free-writing is important to do before writing a rough draft because whatever your topic may be you should always let your voice speak out the words that need to be said.

Voice is influenced by your own words. Voice does play a major factor. Without voice it would be hard to find one’s inner self and hard to express one’s self.

15. Does a certain type of audience affect your voice?

Certain type of audience whether there is a lot of people in the room is harder to speak to especially if you do not know them. Speaking to your friends for example is easier audience to have then speaking to people you just met. Audience is the main factor that affects a person’s way of communicating. Communicating with audience is important and people need to learn ways on how to get themselves to open up to new audience because when you go for job interviewers you will be put on the spot so you need to learn how to deal with audience correctly.

Depending on the crowd of the audience does affect your voice. You will speak differently or have a different type of voice if you were presenting in front of your friends or co-workers. You do certain things in once crowd that you wouldn’t do in another.

16. When would you have a stronger voice? (Name examples)

A stronger voice is usually used toward a larger amount of people in a certain room. When someone is singing at a football game during halftime that is when a stronger voice needs to be made. If you have a small audience you do not need a strong voice because the interaction would only be between a few people. Concerts are when a stronger voice needs to be done at. When singing that is when your voice pitch is higher and stronger so that people can hear what you have to say

She also took this question literal. What I was going for is that when you have a strong voice it can be very be very effective.
