Question

Liam admits to you that he’s feeling very shy about recording his own voice. He believes if you record yours, it could work well, as you’re older and Liam says his friends are more likely to listen to you.

What can you tell Liam about why his message will be more effective if he explains the book and moral lessons himself?
Question 9 options:

Liam has a more fun and exciting voice and is better at making animal noises.


Older narrators tend to sound formal and authoritative, and Liam needs this video to be as fun as possible.


Older narrators remind children of their parents, and they don't want to listen to their parents when on TikTok.


Liam's friends will feel more connected to someone their own age rather than an older person they don't know.

Answer 1

Correct choice: "Liam's friends will feel more connected to someone their own age rather than an older person they don't know."

Why: peers are more relatable — they share language, references, tone and social context. When Liam explains the book and its moral lessons himself, his friends are likelier to trust and engage with the message because it feels authentic and like advice from someone they know. That connection boosts attention, sharing, and influence.

If Liam’s shy about recording, tell him:
- Keep it natural: speak like you’re telling a friend one thing you liked about the book.
- Short is better: 15–30 seconds can be enough.
- Do a few takes and pick the best one.
- Record in a comfortable place, use your phone, and edit out mistakes.
- Practice a quick script or bullet points so you don’t have to memorize everything.

Those steps make it easier for him to sound confident while keeping the peer-relatable advantage.
