HOW TO PLAY A NAIVE CHARACTER;
I’m not going to lie, I was a little baffled when we first got this request. I don’t usually read guides on portraying characters with specific character traits that more or less ‘define’ them - as I believe that tends to lead a person to portray their character in a very linear way. The truth is, you, as a writer, have the creative freedom to write your character any way you prefer and please, with as few limitations as possible - which is, and always has been - the beauty of roleplaying. Though I feel that to write a realistic character, one should focus on making them multifaceted and avoid stereotypical molds. That being said, let’s move forward, shall we?
I was sitting on the computer last night trying to be productive and actually write something. My first sentence included the character listening to a voice through an intercom and my first thought was, “What kind of voice is it?”
So, naturally, I found myself googling the different ways to describe a voice. I present to you my findings! I hope you all find it useful.
- adenoidal (adj): if someone’s voice is adenoidal, some of the sound seems to come through their nose
- appealing (adj): an appealing look/voice shows that you want help, approval, or agreement
- breathy (adj): with loud breathing noises
- brittle (adj): if you speak in a brittle voice, you sound as if you are about to cry
- croaky (adj): if someone’s voice sounds croaky, they speak in a low, rough voice that sounds as if they have a sore throat
- dead (adj): if someone’s eyes or voice are dead, they feel or show no emotion
- disembodied (adj): a disembodied voice comes from someone who you cannot see
- flat (adj): spoken in a voice that does not go up and down; this word is often used for describing the speech of people from a particular region

One of my homophobic student said that he’s uncomfortable with gay people because he’s afraid they’ll like him and I said “There are a lot of straight girls in this class and I don’t see them lining up the streets trying to get with you so what’s your point?”
As a teacher I don’t think I should’ve said that to a student in front of the whole class but that felt good…
It’s that time of month again… you know what that means…
