What strategies can you use to evolve the voice of a YA protagonist authentically?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Crafting a young adult (YA) protagonist's voice that resonates with authenticity can be a transformative journey, both for the character and the reader. As you venture into the literary world of YA fiction, understanding how to develop your protagonist's voice is crucial. It's about capturing the essence of youth—its vibrancy, its uncertainty, and its raw emotion—while guiding your character through a path of growth and self-discovery. Remember, the voice is the lens through which readers experience the world you've created; it must evolve as organically as your protagonist does.

1 Voice Evolution

To ensure your YA protagonist's voice matures authentically, start by charting their emotional and intellectual growth. As life experiences shape their worldview, their voice should reflect these changes. For example, a character who starts off naive might become more cynical or wise, altering their dialogue and internal monologue. Use language and perspectives that evolve with their experiences, ensuring that each phase of growth feels earned and believable.

Considero importante el desarrollo de autovaloración interna, potenciar los valores personales, los jóvenes aunque no tienen mucha experiencia en contraparte tienen una gran capacidad de autoanálisis y autorreflexión, el diálogo interno que utilizan para elaborar los juicios de valor que después desplegaran sobre el mundo considero que son de vital importancia, así como el refuerzo de su propia autoestima, esto con el tiempo les permitirá establecer un liderazgo saludable en sus propias vidas y constituirse como un valioso y positivo referente social y aunque exista una influencia externa estarán muy sólidos en sus propios y valiosos conceptos.

Pongo énfasis en la importancia del vocabulario con la premisa totalmente opuesta al famoso dicho "las palabras se las lleva el viento". Elegir cuidadosamente con que palabras me voy a comunicar, evaluando que: 1. transmitan el mensaje con el cual me identifico 2. que tengan un sustento comprobable , si no es una opinión 3. generando empatía con el interlocutor

2 Consistent Core

While your protagonist's voice evolves, maintaining a consistent core is vital. This core is the essence of their personality that remains constant throughout the story. It could be a sense of humor, moral values, or a unique perspective on life. This consistency anchors the character, making them recognizable and relatable to readers, even as they grow and change.

Durante muchos a?os en mi carrera escuché el consejo de mentores que decían "sé auténtica". Hoy, ser auténtica significa, haber logrado un equilibrio entre mi personalidad conciliadora y mantener firmeza en mis ideas. Cuando se alcanza ese estadio, desenvolverse en el día a día no involucra tanta energía.

3 Dialogue Dynamics

Dialogue is a powerful tool for showcasing voice evolution. Pay attention to how your protagonist speaks to others and how this changes over time. Initially, their language might be simpler, filled with slang or colloquialisms. As they mature, their dialogue can become more complex, mirroring their evolving thought processes and emotional maturity. This gradual shift helps readers witness the protagonist's development in real-time.

Hay que prestar mucho atención, no solo al contenido de lo que se está diciendo sino también a qué el diálogo no se convierta en monólogo. Dentro de esa conversación, el secreto es la "escucha activa", comprometida y de respeto hacia el otro.

A young adult must be written from a young adult's mindset, keeping a voice that is accurate to the age and timeline of the character. It is importnt to remember ourselves at that age, abd to observe those around us who match it, the slowly allow it into evolve into an authentic adult.

4 Reflective Realism

Incorporating reflective realism is about ensuring your protagonist's inner thoughts and feelings are true to their experiences. As they encounter new challenges, their reflections should deepen, displaying a more nuanced understanding of their world. This not only evolves their voice but also adds layers to their character, making them more compelling and authentic to the reader.

5 External Influences

External influences like relationships and societal changes can significantly impact your protagonist's voice. As they interact with other characters and face the world's realities, their voice should respond accordingly. This might mean adopting new language, attitudes, or beliefs that are influenced by their peers or the events unfolding around them. These influences help to shape a dynamic voice that is responsive to the surrounding environment.

6 Emotional Honesty

Emotional honesty is the heartbeat of an authentic YA protagonist's voice. As they navigate the tumultuous waters of adolescence, their emotions will be intense and often contradictory. Your task is to capture this emotional honesty in their voice without resorting to melodrama. Allow their feelings to be complex and sometimes messy, mirroring the real experience of youth. This emotional depth will resonate with readers and breathe life into your character's voice.

I think nobody has an easy time as a young adult. I thought I felt out of step and like an outsider during late school and early college, but in a series of interactions with my classmates, I realized that none of them, not even the "cool" ones breezed through this phase. Gave new meaning to "growing pains". When writing, it is essential to locate the source of the angst irrespective of whether your YA protagonist is in the social order of her time - at the top of the proverbial cheerleading pyramid or watching the action from the sidelines.
