Quote

Tone is everything in TV.

Tone has the living soul.

Tone can be as important as text.

Tone matters more than words.

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say.

Tone on jazz guitars is a real tough issue.

Life mixes tones all the time.

Tone is up for grabs in what we do - what's the tone of the scene.

Tone is somewhat totalising in that, once I locate it, it tells me what kind of syntax to use, what word choices to make, how much white space to leave on the page, what sentence length, what the rhythmic patterning will be. If I can't find the tone, I sometimes try narrating through the point of view of someone else.

I am tone deaf.
