Article Evaluation
The article Younger Now the newest album of Miley Cyrus has a couple of problems. To begin with, the article starts out by stating the release date of the album, however, there is no reference to hold that statement true. The structure of the first paragraph is very unorganized as it goes from referencing her previous albums to talking about her fiancé all within one sentence. Also, the first paragraph seems to be too lengthy for the article being about the release of an album and goes into detail about her fiancé as well as what had happened in her personal life, which should be under a different section. Another issue with this article was the "Background and development" section, again, it was very unorganized as it states that she co-hosted The Voice, but then goes into her campaigning for Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. A lot of this information is not needed for the content of her newest album.

Voice-Over Draft
Synchronous dialogue, where the voice-over is narrating the action that is taking place at the same time, remains the most common technique in voice-overs. Asynchronous, however, is also used in cinema.

The sound recording industry uses the term "presence" as the standard of a good quality voice-over and is used for commercial purposes in particular. This term "presence" measures the legitimacy of how it sounds, specifically one of a voice-over. Advances in technology for sound recording have helped voice-overs reach this standard. These technological advances have worked continuously on diminishing "the noise of the system...and thus reducing the distance perceived between the object and its representation."

Charactering techniques in voice-overs are used to give personalities and voice to fictional characters. There has been some controversy with charactering techniques in voice-overs, particularly with white radio entertainers who would mimic black speech patterns. Radio made this racial mockery easier to get away with because it was a non-confrontational platform to freely express anything the broadcasters found fit. It also became the ideal medium for voice impersonations. Characterization has always been popular in culture and all forms of media. In the late 1920s radio started to stray away from reporting exclusively on musicals and sporting events, instead, radio began to create serial talk shows as well as shows with fictional storylines. The technique of characterization can be a creative outlet to expand on film and radio, but it must be done carefully.
