Voices & Moods

Esperanza Smith helps students understand how varying voices can improve a story. She shows students how they have low, middle, and high pitches for creating characters' voices, as well as slow and fast tempos, and loud and soft volumes. Note the effective use of cue cards as she has students say various words and phrases, such as the card for "oh."
