Character Voices Must Not Obscure What You're Saying

Last night in class two people were doing some amazing character voices but it was hard to tell what they were saying. Sometimes we get so caught up in the character voice that we forget that the words and ideas are still the most important thing. We have to make sure we are easily understood. Everything has to be idea driven and clear or we are making our very cool character voice the most important thing instead of what the character is saying.
