assisting a user of the device in portraying the fictional character by:
receiving, via the audio sensor, a speech input from the user;

in response to determining that the speech characteristic of the speech input from the user does not match the target speech characteristic associated with the fictional character, modifying the speech input from the user based on the target speech characteristic associated with the fictional character in order to generate a modified speech input with a speech characteristic that matches the target speech characteristic associated with the fictional character; and
