Tears of Steel · Broken heart

Practice this voice acting scene

Celia lists the hurt Thom has caused while he has almost nothing left to say. His two identical replies sit in different moments of the exchange. That makes this a useful scene for exploring meaning without changing the script.

Repeated words with changing emotional weight

As Thom, give the first “I know” regret and the second resignation. As Celia, let the accusation, explanation, and threat build without losing clarity. Compare the replies in the finished scene rather than only in isolation.

Listen to the original before recording. Your selected character uses your takes; the other role keeps its original performance. Select both roles to perform the complete exchange or take turns on the same device.
