Finding Character Voice

“Character voice” is rather self-explanatory, simply being the unique way a character speaks or narrates. Every character has a voice, some may just stand out more than others, and part of becoming a better writer is learning to work with voices that are unlike your own. Here are some ways to get started on finding a character’s voice once you have a character concept in mind:

Look into their background. What’s their education level? Does the area they come from have any specific sayings? Speech patterns are influenced by a surprising amount of external or upbringing-related elements, especially when it comes to slang and some aspects of grammar, so learn to look beyond the “now” for finding voice.

Personality and mood affect voice. A laid-back person is unlikely to speak or narrate in a snippy tone, unless that subject matter is super important to them. Likewise, a critical person may judge other characters more than another narrator. 

Everybody has quirks of speech. Can also be known as ‘verbal tics’, though ‘quirks of speech’ refer to general unique speech patterns as opposed to a specific sound. 

Voice is more than just tone. It’s related to perspective and how the character comments on the things they notice. Two characters may see the same tree, but the artist may describe the tree with specific colors whereas a nature-lover may know the species and its stage of life. The information that’s given to the reader through the narrator is a form of voice. 

Some techniques for teasing out potential voice are:

Interview your characters with a series of simple questions that get harder and harder. Get personal. See what comes out in how they respond.

Write a letter as if by their hand, about a subject they’re passionate about.

Try acting things out as if you were that character. Have imaginary conversations or test different tones spoken out loud to test the effects. 

Create a scene, then test it witch each different character. What do they notice that’s different from others? What’s the order of things that they notice?

Throw each character into the exact same problem. How do they each handle it differently?

Oh man. This probably deserves a whole lot more thought than I’m able to dedicate to this right now…I apologize if any of this seems a bit unorganized. I’m writing off the top of my head here! Sorry for not having manga panel pictures or chapter numbers memorized for reference either! D:

Moving on! I’ll put my rant under the cut~

ThIs BeAutIfUL Art

A shiniGAMI once told me

A notebook belonged to me

And I’m the brightest kid in Japan

L was watching me do math

I continued on my path

And wrote names in the chips with my left hand

Well the criminals are dying and my girlfriend keeps crying

I’m god of the new world and I won’t stop lying

Didn’t make sense not to use the Note

This world is rotten and I so I just wrote

So many names, so many crimes

So what’s wrong with shortening their time

They’ll never never learn if I don’t write

They’ll never shine without Light

Hey now I’m a god now

I’ll pass judgement

Don’t sin

Hey now I am justice

L can’t touch this

I’ll win

The Death Note’s power unfurled

Only writing names saves the world

I am so envious of your fabric folds

ALL RIGHT I’LL TRY!Note: This is how I personally work with folders, i’m not right neither wrong, different artists have different ways to do the same thing. Remeber to check for more than one as refference!

The shame is HEAVILY influenced by the wind or movement on the character/object, so are the folds that follow the flow of whatever is influencing them!

Always consider the fabric you’re planning to use, a heavy one won’t have as many folds, but will have more bumps, meanwhile thin ones tend to have A LOT of folds and not so many bumps, and often fold over themselfs

If you don’t plan how the object/dynamic/wind whatever will influence the fabric, you may come up with this:

The tip of the arrows will have LESS folds because it’s where the wind is blowing, meanwhile the back of the arrows will have a lot of folds, since it’ll curl and bump on itself!

You can’t just toss folders around without planning how they will be affected, works very similar as hair does!

It ended up so long i really hope it helps omgg ;w;If you want to support me and help me to make more tutorials, you can always tip me! (Not mandatory, don’t feel pressured!)
