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.

3. Voices in use
First, let's revisit the above video and listen to the above BBC comedy clip again. Listen closely to the use of voice.

Next, let's look at a favourite of mine.
