Not in writing
I have to be able to physically touch you to teach you how to speak better...
Gotta know where on your body the words come from I guess. I sound nasally when I speak as well, like a nerd. Other times people get hooked by my voice once I get some passion into it...
Online and in writing, I have no passionate words... It's all cut and dried online, no screams, or laughter. No anger, or resentment. You can hear all of that stuff in people's voices when they speak. Online, it can only be inferred.
I type how I speak, so at times when I really get down to it. I sound better when I write in monotone, which is not me. Other times, the words and the writing are the same, and I feel great writing it, but the message that people take from my writing is that I have too many thoughts running through my head.
yanamean? It doesn't make sense to teach somebody how to speak, in writing...
Do a search on mumbl* I got a few good responses on that thread.
