Some tips for using a few words to describe voices:

1. Tone Words: Use tone words to convey the emotional quality of a voice. For example, you can describe a voice as “melodic,” “soothing,” “sharp,” “gentle,” or “commanding” to give readers a sense of the tone.

2. Pitch and Range: Mention the pitch and range of the voice. Is it “deep,” “high-pitched,” “raspy,” or “full-bodied”? This can provide insight into the character’s age, gender, or emotional state.

3. Accent and Diction: Describe the character’s accent or diction briefly to give a sense of their background or cultural influences. For instance, “British-accented,” “Southern drawl,” or “formal.”

4. Volume: Mention the volume of the voice, whether it’s “whispering,” “booming,” “murmuring,” or “hushed.”

5. Quality: Use terms like “velvet,” “silken,” “gravelly,” “honeyed,” or “crisp” to convey the texture or quality of the voice.

6. Rate of Speech: Describe how fast or slow the character speaks, using words like “rapid,” “slurred,” “measured,” or “rambling.”

7. Mood or Emotion: Indicate the mood or emotion carried by the voice. For example, a “quivering” voice may convey fear or anxiety, while a “warm” voice may express comfort and reassurance.

8. Resonance: Describe the resonance of the voice, such as “echoing,” “nasal,” “booming,” or “tinny.”

9. Timbre: Mention the timbre of the voice, using words like “rich,” “thin,” “clear,” or “smoky.”

10. Cadence: Highlight the rhythm or cadence of speech with descriptors like “staccato,” “lilting,” “rhythmic,” or “halting.”

11. Intonation: Convey the character’s intonation by saying their voice is “sarcastic,” “apologetic,” “confident,” or “questioning.”

12. Vocal Characteristics: If applicable, mention unique vocal characteristics, like a “lisp,” “stutter,” “drawl,” or “accented ‘r’.”
