Voice
is essential for communication. It is through the voice that you convey
your feelings, thoughts. Unless the voice is used in a way that it
conveys the true sense of what we want to say, it can be easily
misunderstood. Most of us are not aware what apparatus we have in our
body and how to use it to get the voice out. Most of us tense our larynx
making the voice shrill and not reaching the listener. Through this
workshop i will share some learning on how to give the voice - its
wholeness. The exercises which we will deal with, if performed daily,
can benefit a lot in public speaking and also give you a better
confidence.
Having said that, in this session i wont touch
stammering blocks. But if exercises are followed regularly, you can
definitely observe some gradual improvement in your style of speaking
thereby reducing the fear of stammering which is quite essential for us.
It will happen over the coming weekend. I have divided the two days in a way that on Saturday, i will mostly cover voice modulation and Sunday will be the main day on understanding voice.
Saturday 5th Feb (9 AM - 12 PM), @small hut, Cubbon park:1) Acting exercises
3) Voice modulation & Presentation skills
Sunday 6th Feb(10 AM - 2 PM(max)) @small hut, Cubbon park:
1) Understanding voice and body as the apparatus
2) Exercises:
Macro - ribs, back widening
Micro - lips, tongue
3) Using soft palate, pushing adam's apple down
4) Lying on the floor exercise
5) Drop down and other similar exercises
6) Understanding Resonance and resonators in our body.
I
would like if possible for all of you to attend both the days. Saturday
is focused on actors but its also about presentation skills - "how to
make one listen to what you are saying".
On Sunday,
please come in comfortable dressing, water bottle, and eat well before
coming. Get a mat if you don't like lying on the grass.
Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have a doubt.
Regards,
Animesh
