Youtube Voice Response

After reading Linguistic Tricks, I saw that the way that people talk makes a contribution to the audience’s attention. Like the article says: long constants, extra vowels in between constants,  long vowels, overstressed vowels, and aspiration. I noticed these aspects of speech with Jenna Marbles, who is a youtuber. I saw that her way of talking to her audience using these factors draws the audience in and makes you want to listen more. I also noticed that when she grabbed the attention she could talk about anything she wanted. In one of her videos she talks about her life experiences and gives advice based of them. You can see just by the way she talks you want to follow what she says. Just like the article says. Jenna Marbles talks like “an intellectual used car salesman”. She sells her comments, opinions, and experiences to her audience without question.
