LESSON 4 · The Emotional Voice

Start at Home

You can begin tonight, no studio required. Read a children's book aloud and give every character its own voice: the gruff troll, the squeaky mouse, the weary narrator. Picture books are built for big, clear emotion, which makes them the kindest possible practice ground for stretching your range.

Record yourself reading a dramatic passage, then listen like a stranger. Flat, rushed, or mumbled lines jump out; re-record those with more intention and fresh practice scripts.
