*Say something you think would fit*
Your pronunciation is spot on, which is a fantastic base for any reading. However, to truly captivate your audience and bring the script to life, infusing your performance with the nuances of natural speech can make all the difference. Conversational doesn't just mean casual; it's about making your delivery as dynamic and varied as the way we speak in everyday life.
In our daily conversations, we naturally adjust our speed, pitch, and tone to convey different emotions or emphasize certain points. Integrating these variations into your reading can significantly enhance the storytelling aspect of your performance. It's these subtle shifts that make a narrative engaging and relatable.
Pay close attention to the emotional journey of the character. When the script indicates that Peter feels depressed, let your voice reflect that heaviness. Perhaps your pace slows, your pitch softens, and your tone becomes more subdued. This allows your audience to truly feel Peter's despair alongside him.
Conversely, when Peter's mood lifts and he starts to feel happy again, your delivery should mirror that shift. Your pace might quicken, your pitch might rise, and a warm, vibrant energy should infuse your voice. This transformation in your delivery helps your audience experience Peter's joy and triumph as if it were their own.
Remember, your goal is to not just tell a story, but to make your listeners feel a part of it. By varying your pacing, pitch, and tone, and by closely aligning your delivery with the emotional arc of the character, you'll create a performance that's not just heard, but also felt. Keep refining these aspects of your delivery, and you'll continue to grow and excel as a voice actor.
