what was the writers attitude as regard facing strange audience and making a speech
Answers
What is tone?’ Maybe it’s in the air this year but a lot of people have been asking me this question. The short answer is attitude. This is a particular view or feeling you show on a subject.
Whatever your view/feeling, it’s going to come through your writing and colour your words in a particular shade of tonality — sincere/devious, witty/inane, caring/indifferent, cold/warm, melancholy/joyful, affectionate/callous, aggressive/considerate, the list goes on and you can view it down below.
Even if there’s no feeling coming through you to your words, then that’s still an attitude. And it will show in your writing as lacklustre, vapid, mediocre, flat, dull or bland.
Attitude comes with the job, so it’s important to make it work for you. Now attitude should not be confused with personality — which is ‘the voice’.
