When we read a piece aloud, it is natural for the reader/author to say the lines the way they sound in their head rather than how they read on the sheet. This includes contractions, simplifications, and speaking in the passive voice. And when the critics hear these things out loud that sound better than the written words, they should tell the reader/author about the difference.<br /><br />Of course, if the reader is offering things like dialect and slang that is not included on the page, that needs to be addressed as well.James Presslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395582214077061432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061089556786959378.post-80110645925311538642019-01-08T17:27:02.970-06:002019-01-08T17:27:02.970-06:00Please explain, "getting feedback about verba...Please explain, "getting feedback about verbal cues".
