Episode Ep. 332 FIVE WAYS TO BECOME A CHARACTER VOCALLY
Last week Darren and Mark shared effective ways to embody characters physically. Today, they share the impact that we can have when we do the same with vocal techniques.
SNIPPETS:
• Selectively use dialogue instead of narration
• Vary your vocal volume
• Volume variances depict emotion
• Energy and intensity do not have to be loud
• Modify vocal pitch appropriately
• Different speaking rates can show demeanor and state of mind
• Use congruent facial expressions
• Attitude and posture can say a lot about a character
• Body language will show emotion
• Stress, fatigue, pain, and illness can be portrayed with body language
• Employ an accent when comfortable, competent, and confident
• Be careful not to offend when using accents
• Use age-appropriate vocal characterizations
