You want to make sure that you don&#8217;t move your lips or any of the other standard do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts.  These are very important. <\/p>\n<p>There is one other thing that can make or break your voice match-up for your character.  Example:  If you have a character that is an old man or old woman and you have a voice that is clearly for a young person. <\/p>\n<p>This can totally destroy the impact of your presentation.  The voice for an older person must have the appropriate amount of &#8220;shakiness&#8221; or other qualities consistent with being an older person.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure that the voice of an old man does not sound like a female. Conversely the voice for an older lady should not sound like a male.<\/p>\n<p>Find others around you who will give you honest opinions as to whether or not the voice you are using is right for the character.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using the wrong voice, you do not necessarily need to discard the voice if it is a good one. Just use that voice with another character for whom it is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Then work out and find the correct voice for the character you were using in the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember, it is all about the illusion that you are giving the audience. The more real the illusion, the more real the perception.<\/p>\n<p>Thats all for this week. We will talk again real soon.<\/p>\n<p>Steve &amp; JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of you work very hard on the voice you use with your puppet.
