The man with a golden voice

The difference between this lead was that it was sweet and kept the reader engaged comparing to the hard news lead which spits everything you need to know in a factual manner.

6. What quote is the most powerful in the story, in your opinion?"I think he really has no idea how big this is going to be."

7. How many paragraphs is the story?
33 paragraphs 

8. How many words is the story (hint: you can copy and paste into Word and get a word count)?
765 words.

9. What is significant about the lead (lede) and the final paragraph of the story?
The lead was about how godly his voice was as was the last paragraph, it left most of the information more towards the bottom. 

10. Why do you think the writer did that with the lead (lede) and final paragraph?
I felt the author did that to have you truly remember the story and maybe eventually spread it to others.

11. Was the story interesting to read?
yes.

12. When you finished the story, but BEFORE you watched the video, did you want to hear the voice?
 I wanted to see what the fuss was about, so yes.
13. Multimedia approaches are powerful tools, what impact did the video have when watched directly after reading the story? I finally understood all the quotes and I was just blown away at how well his voice sounded.

14. Would the story have lost its impact without the video?
To be completely honest, yeah it would have been less impactful if I wasn't able to hear the man's voice.
15. Did the writer try to come up with a way for you to hear the voice, i.e. did he try to describe the voice or give you a way to "hear" the voice without really hearing it?
The writer put recognizable quotes from TV that people would know how it sounds like.

16. How did the writer do that?
The writer used italics to add emphasis.
