Annotated Scripts

Thinking as a Speaker
1. Is it acceptable to make someone else's speech yours as well? Can we add our own identity to someone's intro?
  1. "The user of a specific dialect employs the phonological (pronunciation), lexical (vocabulary), and syntactic patterns (word arrangement) and variations of the given "community" (CCCC, 5)
  2. "...Quebec, my mom's hometown" (Cornicelli, "Portifolio 1," 1)
    1. Cat mentions "Quebec" in her introduction and upon asking about the pronunciation, she explained the difference between both pronunciations but never told me which one she uses. As a result, I just decided to use the one that I normally use, which is "keh-beck"
2. Do we need to be in the writer's shoes to perform the same way they would?
  1. "Here the meaning of the word pertains to a particular actual reality and particular real conditions of speech communication" (Bahktin, 86)
  2. "When I look at the people who are where I'll be in four to five years, I can't help but compare myself to them, and wonder if I'll ever be able to get to that place." (Cornicelli, "Portifolio 1," 1)
    1. When reading/presenting "...I can't help but compare myself to them...", Cat told me to sound "vulnerable". I struggle to imagine how would she sound and to adopt this vulnerable tone. This made me wonder if it would be easier to understand what she meant by vulnerable tone if I experienced what she experiences myself. "How can I actually sound vulnerable if I never had to compare myself to the officers?"
  3. "Now, I am not saying that I don't have a passion for my future career, ..., but I think I could start by building a connection between myself and these topics." (Cornicelli, "Portifolio 1," 1)
    1. Although the entire introduction is very personal, how can I recite "...building a connection between myself and these topics" exactly as she would, without knowing how she actually feels?
Thinking as a Writer
1. How can you explain your tone to someone without actually speaking out loud?
  1. "When we select words in the process of constructing an utterance, we by no means always take them from the system of language in their neutral, dictionary form. We usually take them from other utterances, and mainly from utterances that are kindred to ours in genre, that is, in theme, composition and style" (Bahktin, 87)
  2. "Thoughtful tone" (Kim, "Annotated Speech," Comments)
  3. "Honest tone" (Kim, Annotated Speech," Comments)
    1. Throughout the process of annotating my own script, I realized that explaining my tone is harder than I thought. Whenever I talk, I don't worry about the tone that I'll use for specific words and sentences, this is just something that can occur naturally. Our group didn't read our own scripts out loud, and commenting "thoughtful tone" and "honest tone" could be interpreted in so many different ways. I realized that my "thoughtful tone" wouldn't necessarily match with Joshua's tone.
2. If I just annotate "pause", would that be enough information for the presenter?
  1. "Techné refers both to action and the conditions of possibility of action" (Sterne, 92)
  2. "Dramatic pause" (Kim, "Annotated Speech," Comments)
    1. I asked someone from the writing center to read my introduction so I could see how different people would read it out loud. I noticed that the "dramatic pause" length varied a lot based on the reader (me, the consultant, and Joshua.) This made me think that annotating "dramatic pause" was still very broad and could not be enough information for Josh to present my script as I would.
