Justification of Communication Medium

     The medium I am choosing is 5 to 7 minute audio visual presentation.  The reason I am choosing this method is so the listener can hear the inflection in my voice.  I really believe that verbal communication is strong and can relay a message more directly and succinctly than just a written communication.
