Say hello in 3 different voices
Say "hello" in three different voices: loud, whisper, and robot. Practice changing pitch, speed, and expression while recording or performing for friends.
Step-by-step guide to say hello in 3 different voices
Step 1
Stand in front of the mirror and take three deep breaths to relax your body and voice.
Step 2
Say "hello" in your normal voice so you can hear how you usually sound.
Step 3
Pretend the small cushion is a microphone and shout "HELLO" loudly while standing tall.
Step 4
Lean toward the mirror and whisper "hello" like you're sharing a secret.
Step 5
Make a robot voice and say "hello" in a flat monotone with short choppy pauses.
Step 6
For each voice say "hello" using a lower pitch than you used before.
Step 7
For each voice say "hello" using a higher pitch than you used before.
Step 8
For each voice say "hello" slowly so each sound stretches out.
Step 9
For each voice say "hello" quickly so the words sound short and snappy.
Step 10
Use a matching facial expression for each voice as you say "hello."
Step 11
Do the three voices back-to-back once, switching smoothly from one voice to the next.
Step 12
Perform your three-voice routine for a friend or family member so they can hear your favorite versions.
Step 13
Share your finished voice challenge on DIY.org.

What can we use instead of the 'small cushion' or if we don't have a mirror?
If you don't have the small cushion pretend-microphone, use a rolled-up sock, hairbrush, or small pillow, and if there's no mirror use a reflective window or the front camera on a phone so you can still watch your facial expressions.
My voice cracks or I can't switch smoothly between voices—what should I try?
If your voice cracks or the transitions aren't smooth, return to the first step and take three deep breaths before each attempt, practice each voice slowly with matching facial expressions, and pause for a breath when you practice 'Do the three voices back-to-back.'
How can we adapt this activity for different ages?
For ages 3–5 keep it simple with normal, loud, and whisper 'hello' and big faces; for 6–8 add the robot voice and one lower/higher pitch change; and for 9+ do all pitch and tempo variations and perform the full back-to-back routine for a friend as in the last steps.
How can we make the voice challenge more creative or shareable?
To enhance it, record your full routine when you 'Perform your three-voice routine,' add a costume or prop for each voice (like a 'microphone' cushion or robot cap), create a short scripted sequence for smoother switches, and upload the finished video to DIY.org.

Facts about voice and speech exercises for kids
🎤 People use pitch, speed, and loudness (called prosody) to show feelings — a question often ends with a higher pitch!
🤫 Whispering is made without regular vocal-fold vibration, so it has no clear musical pitch.
🤖 Early robotic-sounding voices were made with vocoders and by flattening prosody to remove expression.
🎭 Voice actors can create dozens of different characters just by changing pitch, pace, and timbre.
📱 Recording yourself and listening back is one of the fastest ways to notice and improve voice tricks.
