Masterclass 5 – Voice
The rhetorical mix of language, tone, register, point of view, style, syntax and vocabulary is the voice that readers ‘listen’ for in a text. But stories are usually conveyed through several different voices, including the voice of each character, the writer’s unique voice (or style) and the narrative voice they adopt in a particular work, which can vary from one work to another. In this Masterclass, we employ our eyes, ears and hearts to explore the concept of ‘voice’ as a vital aspect of any work of fiction, and unpick the key elements that characterise voice.
By the end of this Masterclass, you should be able to:
- Identify the range and tenor of voices in different works of fiction.
- Distinguish and describe the voices of fictional characters.
- Assess the effectiveness of voice consider ways to strengthen and sustain them.
