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
