Mamatas Interview

Mamatas's interview is about his former job as a term paper writer.  Mamatas's interview shows a great deal about him that just reading an article he wrote does not get across.  Mamatas does not write term papers for a living anymore, but hearing him speak about it demonstrates that he is still interested in it.  Mamatas voice is very fast while he's speaking about writing the term papers.  He is energetic and seems to know what he is talking about.  He is well educated and you can tell by listening to him speak.  He pronounces words correctly and shows good word choice.  He laughs a lot and makes a few jokes and seems to have enjoyed his former career.
            He still does not care about his customers and even says that if they make him angry or do something he does not like he will send the same exact paper to the teacher to basically screw them over.  That came across in the article and came across even further in the interview.  My opinion of Mamatas and his work has not changed because of hearing the interview.  He states the same things in the interview as in the article.  The only difference is that I could hear his voice.  His attitude about his job never changed and neither did my opinion of him.
            Listening to audio opposed to reading text might affect the audience in many ways.  If a person reads a well written article and agrees with the author and then they listen to an interview and the speaker is not well spoken, has an accent, or has a strange voice it could cause people to change their opinions of them.  Reading something gives people less to judge on.  All they are given is the article and they have to use their imagination on what the author is like.  Just listening to the sound of someone's voice could change people's opinions in a second.  Writing is the best medium to chose when sharing information.   It is easier to write, it is cheaper, and it is faster than other mediums.
