FAQ About The Evolution of Voice Acting in Animation

How do voice actors convey emotions and personality without physical expression?

Voice actors convey emotions and personality through their vocal techniques by modulating tone, pitch, and pacing. They rely heavily on their ability to interpret scripts and bring spontaneity and authenticity to their performances. By enhancing vocal dynamics—such as using whispers for secrecy or escalating volume for anger—they create distinctive character traits, allowing audiences to visualize the characters' emotional states and personalities without seeing physical gestures.
