## How to Read the Text Naturally (Voice Tips)
### **Voice Setup Basics**
- **Speed**: Medium-slow (120-140 words/min). Pause 1-2 sec at commas/periods.
- **Volume**: Normal, louder on **key ideas** (e.g., "instincts", "justice").
- **Tone**: Warm, curious—like telling a story to friends.
### **Pitch Control (Up = High, Down = Low)**
Use **rising pitch (↑)** for questions/excitement. **Falling pitch (↓)** for statements/conclusions.
#### **Key Text Sections + Voice Pattern**
1. "Mysterious Tendencies which are called instincts..."
↓ Steady (explain fact) → ↑ Rise on "instincts?" (hook students)
2. "Are the sentiments of humans similar to animals?"
↑ High question → Pause → ↓ Drop on "animals" (thoughtful)
3. "Have you ever seen a lion go hunting and..."
↑ Excited rise on "lion" → ↓ Fall on "justice" (surprise!)
4. "Where do these sentiments come from?"
↑ Peak on "come from?" (big question)
5. "Intelligence... sometimes people who are more intelligent have worse morals."
↓ Low/sad on "worse morals" (contrast)
6. "These sentiments do not result from human intelligence."
↑ Rise on "not" → ↓ Strong drop on "intelligence" (key point!)
7. "Human nature has a set of tendencies..."
↑ Hopeful rise on "perfection and goodness" → ↓ Final low (wise conclusion)
### **Pro Tips for Native Sound**
- **Stress big words**: INSTINCTS, SENTIMENTS, TENDENCIES (louder/higher).
- **Link words**: "gohunt-ing" (not "go... hunt... ing").
- **Smile while reading**: Makes voice warmer!
- **Practice**: Record → Listen → Repeat 3x.
**Example Audio Feel**: Like a TED Talk—engaging, not robotic! 🎤
