12. Find your voice – and stick with it

Homework

You guessed it – you get to watch more stuff. We know – we’re just so horrible to you! Get your notepad and pen ready and prepare yourself for some active watching.

Goooood . . . let the voice flow through you

Watch a few films or TV shows. In the first few scenes of each, observe the tone presented.

For example in the very first episode of Riverdale, there is a death almost immediately, which sets the tone for the show. Now we know this show will be very serious at times – we know what tone to expect, what we’re in for.

In your chosen films and TV shows, note how quickly the tone is set, and how it is set.
