We\'ve talked about the basics of writing soliloquy...but how do you find your character\'s voice?  In this episode, we look at T. S. Eliot\'s idea of the "Three Voices of Poetry," as well as examining Abigail Thorn (of PhilosophyTube)\'s brilliant use of breaking iambic pentameter in her new verse play, "The Prince."  BONUS!  Emily guides you through exploring prosody.  How do you feel about iambics?  Trochees?  Anapest?  What rhythms do your characters speak in?
