1. Put yourself in your character’s shoes. Is your character angry, proud or
confident? Decide why your character would act in a certain way.
2. Use your speaking voice. Change the volume, rate, pitch, and tone of your
voice to express your character’s feelings.
3. Use facial expressions. For example, closing your eyes while speaking could
show deep thought or impatience.
4. Use gestures. A fist, a pointed finger, and an open hand all give different
signals.
5. Enunciate. Be sure all of your audience can hear and understand you, even
when your character speaks softly.
6. Practice reading your lines. You may want to practice with a partner or in
front of a mirror to improve your facial expressions and gestures.
