voice tutorial - reflections

How do I feel about my voice work in She Ventures?

  • Very pleased with it & I got good feedback
  • Goal for term 3: connect accent to voice (like finding neutral physicality)
  • Felt very comfortable with size of the space and managing projection
  • Happy with having explored some more range of pitch and chest resonance-- would like to continue exploring mouth & head resonance/finding how to keep lower voice in those places
  • Why do I still catch tension in my belly?-- that said, I know I can relax enough for performances.
Body and voice respond to each other-- re: discoveries in Keith's class yesterday!

"Acting is a practice" -- like yoga
  • Adapt where voice comes from depending on the needs of the body/character and being able to return to neutral-- tune the instrument
If body/voice is an instrument, it can be tuned into different "keys"-- practice will allow same work to be successful, healthy and steeped in what we've studied-- same work, different "key"

What is the difference between my "natural" voice and my "stage" voice?
  • I do feel more pleased with my "stage" voice in general
  • "Natural" is more tense, belly and back of throat
