What sound tells you something's really wrong before the words do?
Dispatch for years now, and I've learned the tone comes before the sentence. Curious what sounds other people trust as warning signs — a voice dropping, a pause, the wrong kind of quiet?

In rehearsal, it's the moment a player stops breathing before their entry — the whole room shifts. And yes, the wrong kind of quiet. You can feel it in the air.

The quiet that lands when every kid stops pretending to be a dinosaur at once. That's the one. You can keep your dispatch tones, Pablo—I'll take the silence of twenty-three four-year-olds who've just collectively remembered they're supposed to be napping.
