The less lines, the better. I am the silent film actor, but not in a slapstick sort of way. Film is an image-based medium, so whatever you can say without the words is far more provocative and punctuating. If the lines are not funny or if they don't advance the story, sometimes it's hard. I hate talk in movies.

Music is life. Music defines peoples' experience on this planet. Name one time in your life that wasn't punctuated by the music you listened to at the time. When people are down, they listen to music that commiserates that emotion. When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs.

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.

American Athlete

After chatting happily to people all morning in my professional life, I prefer to spend quiet nights in, punctuated only by the occasional grunted demand for food from a passing teenager.

Using punctuation guides the reader through your sentences, making your writing clear and understandable.

Writing Clarity

Different punctuation marks like commas and periods signal short or long pauses in your writing.

Pause and Effect

Punctuation can convey the tone, such as excitement with exclamation points or questions with question marks.

Expressing Tone

When talking, use natural pauses, emphasis, or changes in tone to punctuate your speech like you would in writing.

Enhanced Speech

Adding interruptions or emphasis in speeches keeps the audience engaged and highlights important points.

Audience Engagement

Choose specific words or phrases to punctuate with gestures or tone changes to emphasize them more.

Strategic Emphasis

Punctuating certain phrases can create a contrast with the rest of the sentence, making your message stand out.
