Voice.

Greetings!

What a gwaan…wha’ a gwaan? What’s going on?

How y’do nah?

How nah?

Wha’ ‘appening?

Marnin’.

Good morning.

G’d’afternoon.

Respect!

I love the different ways we greet each other in the Caribbean. 

The school children, pouring out on to the streets after school in their uniform, are usually quite polite, greeting you, good afternoon. 

Maaan, It’s such a cool feeling, strolling in the hot sun, saying hello to complete strangers.

So many characters on the streets of my old home-town.

Some of them can make a gal nervous, especially if she’s not accustomed to chatting with strangers l Want to read more about these characters? Have a look here: Characters.

And speaking of greeting strangers, your tone of voice says a lot, doesn’t it? Even if you smile, your voice can give away if you’re not in a good mood, don’t want to be addressed.

Now, what if you could use that same voice to portray different characters, different moods, to earn a living right from your living room. Voicing ads, reading books for writers, being a voice actor. Of course, you’d need a really good microphone…hmmm…I’ve been searching for a good one, to be honest…
