The Sound of Your Voice
Strangely enough when you read this point you are most likely reading it in your own voice or if you know me well enough you can imagine how it would sound coming from my own voice. As Actors our voices carry immense power in everything that we do. Whether you're playing 17th century royalty, a martian from a distant world or a pretentious business man, our voices make up a majority of our performance & it's crucial to know the instrument of your own unique voice.
Below is a great Ted-Talk about unique vocal patterns & how to get people to listen when you speak. As an Actor, you may be asked to do an interview, give an important speech, or call to action the army of a nation. Overall we must be charismatic, when we speak we must be worthy of the ears that are catching our every word. In short, our very careers depend on it.
The video includes a great warm up to use right before speaking, going on stage or heading into the audition room. Check it out & let me know what you think.
Be Well & Onward,
