Additional Information
“Futrell and O’Dell’s discussion of ‘authentic voice’ is valuable. I hadn’t ever thought of it that way, but I will now change how I talk about voice. The instructions for making your own video and the suggestion to do the one-and-done technique speak to a teacher’s busy schedule and potential hesitation to start.”
