Phrasing, the ability to write two words or more with one stroke on the Steno machine. Ugh! Phrasing will be the bane of my practice session this evening. What to phrase, what not to phrase, that is the question. Well, I have concluded that I absolutely will not phrase unless I absolutely have to. It is a personal choice, as my teacher has informed us that if you are fast not phrasing or fast phrasing it does not matter which one chooses.
Today we had a guest speaker from Caption Colorado. He was very informative about the captioning industry and all of the available opportunities. Wow, you have to have the SKILLZ to be a caption-er. Also, one probably has to be able to tolerate television shows for longer than the 30 minutes I am willing to devote watching them. However, 45-80K per year for 80 hours per month of work, hmm... tempting.
We also had the VP of Stenograph come in and speak with us. He mentioned a rockin' local reporter that travels around the world doing depositions! AMAZING! I would love her to mentor me...
