Laying Low for Beginners
There was no teacher when the students arrived in class, but shortly after, Hera rushed in the door, checked the number on it, then nodded. "Right. Sorry, guys, Kanan is out. He's off...doing something. I just remembered he had this class, so I thought I'd come and let you know."
She shrugged. "So, you're supposed to learn laying low, right? I have only the vaguest idea what Kanan has already taught you. Has he gone over voices yet? Your voice is something that can" apparently make people fall instantly in love with you "give you away in any number of ways - the actual sound of it, your accent, the words you choose. I don't know much about Earth accents except that apparently the local one sounds mid-Rim and the Coruscanti accent sounds like something called British, and the Ryloth accent sounds like something called French."
She took a deep breath. "Anyway - think of your own accent, and how you use words, and whether your voice is high- or low-pitched and what else could give you away. Then, try to change it. Come up here and talk to us, and try to make yourself sound like someone else. Someone from another place, or another age, or whatever. Then realize how hard it is, and go away and practice." She grinned. "Maybe try it out on Kanan next week in retaliation."
He would definitely be back next week. He had better.
