Reading your words out aloud is a great tip for a writer. It helps you check how clear the sentences are and how well the copy flows. Sometimes it is almost impossible to catch some poorly written phrases or sentences without first testing them on the ear. In fact, you may not realise how complicated a sentence is until you’ve read it out aloud.
Hearing the piece also gives you a fresh take on the copy you’ve written. You can be more subjective and hear the words you’ve actually written on the page, rather than those you think are there.
Finally, reading a piece out loud helps you figure out where there may be holes in the piece, where your wording may become a bit cliche’, where transitions falter or where information needs to be broken up and possibly bullet pointed.
