WRITING CRAFT: VOICE ROULETTE

Play to switch perspectives, practice empathy, reframe your story, enrich your characters voice

Stuck in your own voice? We all have a default way of narrating our experiences. Our unique tone. Our vocabulary and angle. It’s comfortable, but it can also become an echo chamber.

With this game, break out of that bubble. Flip perspective, tone, and emotional framing.

This tool invites you to write in your voice and then rewrite it in someone else’s step by step. Be it a real-life friend or a fictional character you’re working on. Below, I’ll go into why this is useful for your writing and your personal development. Then, I’ll provide prompts and the exact way to do this based on research.
