“NPC Voice” is more than simply how you sound

So im dm-ing my first game ever tomorrow for some friends. The thing I’m most worried about is roleplaying all of the npcs and stuff. I’m gunna super bad at this. Lol
Any Advice? “NPC Voice” is more than simply how you sound. Even if you’re not changing your voice, what words are used, speaking pace, and tone can help make an NPC memorable. Just be sure to keep notes because there’s no doubt you’ll forget what each NPC talks like!

This is great advice. Physicality, pace, emphasis, expressions, and posture exhibit very different character presentations with very little vocal shift (if any)
