How to Build Character Voices (starting with the Hero)

What’s the process for creating new character voices for acting? Well… let’s find out, as I set myself a scrappy video challenge.

Over the next 21 days, I’m setting myself the challenge of coming up with voice processes for developing character voices. I’m a voice coach, so you’d think I know how to do this… and I do… but I’m quite “intuitive” about it and have never formalized my process for teaching character voices.

I’m doing this in parallel as I go through the Archetypes Self Tape Challenge by Manuel Puro — I highly recommend his flagship Self Tape Challenge if you’re an actor! — https://www.purocasting.com/the-acting-habit/the-21-day-self-tape-challenge

This is the first video where I play with voices for the archetype of the Hero/Protagonist/Main Character.
