Game 4: The Tone Game
In order to effectively deliver lines in a drama, you must accurately express your character’s tone of voice. As you know, delivery rate, inflection, and facial expressions help to communicate tone. Because this is such a key part of a performance, it is important to practice speaking with different tones to get feedback from an audience.
1. When it is your turn, select a line and one of the tones below. Do your best
to deliver the line effectively to others in your group. They should be able to identify the tone right away. Remember that facial expressions and eye contact help to communicate tone.
2. If your audience cannot guess your intended tone, revise your approach and try again.
