I only have three voices
[journal]
For my lesson The Little Red Hen my teacher encouraged me to do voices because the children are very receptive to that sort of thing! The only problem is I only got three voices. I can do high, low, and normal. When I was growing up with my sister and we played with our toys all our male toys sounded exactly the same and all our female toys sounded exactly the same. I was severely handicapped in the vocal department. So, this story, The Little Red Hen, needs three voices. I ended up giving the cat the high voice, the duck the normal voice, and the dog the low one.
I was pretty nervous about the voices so I did the entire sentence in the voice instead of what was spoken. So instead of saying "No" in the cat voice I said "'No' said the cat," in the high-pitch voice. Not only that but my voice cracked in mid voice acting! In the corner of my eye I saw my teacher holding back a well deserved guffaw, tears forming around the edges of her eyes.
