How to do it
- 1Select a chapter from an audiobook with strong character dialogue and action.
- 2As the audio plays, pause frequently (e.g., at the end of every paragraph or scene change).
- 3Cast roles based on the dialogue. Participants must quickly use the available props to act out the lines they just heard.
- 4Discuss how the acting matched or differed from the mental images created by the narrator's voice.
