"at the slightest instigation"

[odilonredon]

Hello everyone

I came across a sentence went like this: "He had a boyish voice that could switch from serious to playful at the slightest instigation."
I want to know what "at the slightest instigation" means.
I know what "at the instigation of somebody" means, but it doesn't seem to fit in this sentence.
Or it does, and I am just reading this in a wrong way?

Thanks.

A tip to the OP: such abbreviations as 'wanna' and 'sb' are unacceptable on this forum.

Thanks for the correction.
I edited my post and I hope there's no more mistakes in it.

It works for me. Did you look up the definition(s) of "instigation".
