2. Voice is very important in acting. 

• Pitch – speaking in a high, low or natural voice.
• Pace – the speed at which someone speaks, eg the speed of response in an argument.
• Enunciation - is the act of pronouncing word clearly.
• Pause – a dramatic pause at a crucial moment could merit a comment.
• Tone – this suggests your mood and your intention towards the listener, eg happy or sad.
• Volume – you might be commenting on audibility but you’re more likely to be discussing the effect of a loud, powerful voice or a quiet, nervous or sad voice.
• Accent – you may be talking about how someone has achieved a convincing accent or how the choice of accent enhanced their characterisation.
• Emphasis – the pressure on individual words that makes them stand out. Emphasis or stress for a particular effect is significant and can change the meaning of a sentence as well as the feeling behind it.
• Intonation – the rise and fall of the voice. There’s a clear movement up at the end of a sentence when we ask questions for example. Intonation also helps us to say what we mean.

What is a Voice over?  Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative (non-diegetic)—is used in a radio, television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations.
