I think it must be because I've worked so hard to develop my own unique voice that I have a difficult time turning it off. This is a helpful post, though and one that if I were to return to writing for clients, I'd refer to constantly! :) .-= Katherine´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.pathtosuccessblog.com/taking-internet-marketing-methods-for-a-test-drive/" rel="nofollow">Taking The Niche Blogger Out for a Test Drive</a> =-.

I have been ghostwriting for so long that I too no longer think through the process. However, your post made me realize what a darn fine actress I really am, lol! Ghostwriting is a fabulous way to exercise other styles and voices which you can bring to your own writing. .-= Karen Swim´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/J9jO_e97Pos/" rel="nofollow">Why You Should Learn to Fight Fair</a> =-.

And quite apart from the story of James, which is serving as impetus for a great many interesting and important conversations this week, I'm delighted that you've drawn attention to the importance of voice in freelance / ghost blogging. Writing skills are just one part of the package, but many freelance gigs demand that writers be able to step into the role of their clients and speak with their clients' voices. It is a very particular skill, and one that does not always come easily. Are we calling that cross-dressing? If so, right on! Count me in as another Canadian online cross-dresser - and proud of it. Well said, Dana!

You know, I get into character so automatically that I never think about it, but like you I play a number of roles. I've written as Brits, Americans, Canadians and Australians. I've written management-speak, business-speak, web-speak and children-speak, and of course, me-speak. I hadn't thought of myself as an online cross-dresser - it's a very evocative phrase. :) Dana, I love this post.
