Here’s how the experiment goes:

• Using any device, record yourself three times saying, “This is 99% Invisible. I’m YOUR NAME” three different ways. Just read it differently or use your voice differently each time.
• Listen back to what you recorded.
• Then, watch the video on “Three Tips for Training Your Voice” (below). Do the exercises along with the video.
• Then record yourself three times again, trying out different tones or energy levels. This time say, ““This is 99% Invisible. I’m Loida Rivera. Today we’re going to start back in the 1970s, at a Catholic School in South Los Angeles. It is picture day.”
• Then listen back to what you recorded. See what differences you notice after the exercises.
