Hearing recordings of your own words can make you painfully aware just how much of a disconnect there is between the things you think you\u2019re saying, and the words that are actually coming out of your mouth. Sometimes it\u2019s a simple slip of the tongue \u2013 saying \u201cmust\u201d instead of \u201cmuch\u201d. Sometimes it\u2019s a slip of the mind \u2013 there has been a lot of times where I\u2019ve said \u201cDraco\u201d rather than \u201cHarry\u201d, or vice versa. While clear communication is certainly primarily the concern of the communicator, I\u2019ve come to realize how important it is to have a charitable audience that helps with the translation. Talking to a hostile audience probably makes inferential distances<\/a> far worse, as they are no longer working with you to bridge those gaps.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s episode there was a line I simply omitted. An entire line that I thought I\u2019d read out loud, but had instead simply skipped over. How the hell?<\/p>\n

When it doesn\u2019t change the meaning of a sentence I\u2019ll generally leave such slips in, but if it\u2019s a noticeable error I have to go back and re-record an entire sentence or paragraph and splice in the re-take. I hadn\u2019t realized that when I started this, but you can\u2019t simply splice in the word that was flubbed. The cadence and rhythm doesn\u2019t match. What\u2019s worse, even redoing an entire line or paragraph, it\u2019s still rarely a good match. A lot of things affect the final recorded sound \u2013 distance from the microphone, my energy levels, the posture I\u2019m sitting in, even when I last drew a breath. Over episodes small variations in tempo, tone, and pitch are unnoticed, but a sharp change from one line to the next is jarring. I have to repeat the correct line several times, attempting to manipulate those variables as much as I can to match the original reading, and pick whichever works best. And it still<\/b>\u00a0usually doesn\u2019t quite sound right. \/sigh<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t happen as often as it used to, I pay more attention when reading now. Like they say, it saves a lot of time simply doing it right the first time.<\/p>\n

But still, how did I overlook a whole dang line?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
