An experiment – do you prefer the written article or the spoken PowerPoint?
Yesterday, I published an article - “How Many Words per Minute (WPM) Do You Speak?” – on my PowerPoints blog.
Today, I created and recorded a PowerPoint presentation based on that article – “Did I Get My WPM Count Just Right?
Both postings discuss the same topic – your spoken words-per-minute count. Each posting offers a different experience.
I had a different experience while creating and recording the PowerPoint presentation. I needed to add extra words to assist the viewer. Both the video and the article are designed to “stand alone.” However, I felt that the video “needed more explanation.” And this, despite the fact that the video offers visual aids!
Perhaps it was just the experience of speaking my written words aloud. A practice that I recommend that all writers and editors try at least occasionally. Perhaps it was just me “wishing that I had taken more time in editing yesterday’s article.” A case of “writer’s remorse?
I hope that you will take some time to read the article AND to view the PowerPoint presentation. I welcome your feedback. Which medium did you prefer – and why? What would you like to see more of? Less of?
