the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine.

In approximately 100 words, weaving in some material from the text, explain how you think your voice impacts an interview.
Voice - How humans communicate?
Voices are important things for humans. They are the medium through which we do a lot of communicating with the outside world: our ideas, of course, and also our emotions and our personality. The voice is the very emblem of the speaker, indelibly woven into the fabric of speech. In this sense, each of our utterances of spoken language carries not only its own message but also, through accent, tone of voice and habitual voice quality it is at the same time an audible declaration of our membership of particular social regional groups, of our individual physical and psychological identity, and of our momentary mood. Voices are also one of the media through which we (successfully, most of the time) recognize other humans who are important to us—members of our family, media personalities, our friends, and enemies. Although evidence from DNA analysis is potentially vastly more eloquent in its power than evidence from voices, DNA cannot talk. It cannot be recorded planning, carrying out or confessing to a crime. It cannot be so apparently directly incriminating. As will quickly become evident, voices are extremely complex things, and some of the inherent limitations of the forensic-phonetic method are in part a consequence of the interaction between their complexity and the real world in which they are used.
Part B

1. Types of questions (open or closed ended). (Give two examples of each)
2. Background knowledge that the interviewer brings (Give two examples)
3. The manner in which the interviewer rephrases and paraphrases what the interviewee said. (Pick out an example and write a short analysis: for example, what might you note in the tone, diction, pacing, verbal stresses. Be specific
4. How does the interviewer maintain a sense of non-bias? Find two examples and explain.
note: a closed-ended question produces a yes / no response.
