Voice Levels
Students practice saying the same thing at different volumes and intensities.
Physically warms up the voice and separates volume from confidence — students discover they have more range than they thought.
Instructions
Give everyone a simple sentence (e.g. 'I have something important to say'). Go around the circle — each person says it at a different level: whisper, quiet, normal, loud, very loud, and theatrical. No one is graded on performance. Then try it with emotion: tired, excited, scared, angry.
