The sound of your voice should match your image. Sometimes how you say something can be more important than what words actually come out of your mouth. If you are tall, aggressive, with red hair and prominent bond structure, you must cultivate a big and well-rounded, then your voice should be softer and pitched higher. Don't overdo it, though, as it only requires a slight raising or lowering of your normal pitch to make all the difference in the world. Assertive and dominant women can get away with using regional and foreign accents much easier than witches on the lower half of our clock. The closer someone is to the top of the clock, the more suited they are for dialects, accents, strange or unusual speech characteristics, etc. The lower part of the clock is where common, slangy talk pays off.

As for what you say, eleven to ones can say just about anything, and the more of it, the better. Two to fours better make sense when they talk as cool and cynical as possible. Five to sevens should speak little and agree plenty, and eight to tens must be moderate in the quantity of words used and have a sense of humor. One simple change in a witch's speech pattern can make them successful.

The question many of you are probably asking now is "How can I possibly get away with changing my voice when everyone knows me as I am?" The easiest answer, of course, is to simply change your pitch ever so slightly and no one will notice, but you'll have the fun of seeing their change in response to you. If you are at the top of the clock, and you would benefit by adding an accent, start it out as a joke, then lay it on so often that it becomes a part of who you are.
