You have to show the character is confused or scared or happy through your voice instead of with your face and body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can picture the character in my head, and the voice just comes out.
When I'm trying to find my way into a character, the voice and physicality are the first two things I do.
I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because that's been said to me.
One of the ways that you reveal character is by getting a character into a situation and seeing what they do.
You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.
The best way to show an emotion is not through a character's words, but their smallest expressions - to take what an actor would visually do and try putting that down on the page for the reader to 'see.'
When you consider that you're a character that doesn't speak, but you've still got to react to the other actors, you've got to make a noise of some kind.
The voice has to be very clear at all times in order to convey the emotion.
It's usually easier for me to begin writing in a character's voice if that person is different from me in some significant way.
I just let the character speak to me and things appear.
