0664 – How To Steal A Character Voice

2022.10.26 – 0664 – How To Steal A Character Voice

Concentrate on listening, not just hearing but truly paying attention to voices:

·        their accent

·        their pitch, projection, pace and so on (all the elements we have looked at before and with which you will by now be familiar)

·        where they speak from – their chest, their nose and so on

·        how they convey emotion in their voice. How do they (or might they) speak when they are frustrated, sneaky or passive-aggressive, inspired or indecisive?

·        their mannerisms or vocal quirks (do they sniff every few words, or have a slight lisp, a stop-start delivery or whatever?).

And then mimic them. You’re not trying to do an imitation, but taking some of the elements or essence of that voice.
