Find Your Voice: Build your Voice
All right, So who is going to be my first victim? I just, I'm feeling rich. You can tell that, couldn't you? You got that. Um Okay, so actually, I think I'd like you to continue to stand. Would you do that? Okay, so take center stage, center stage or do you feel lit? Feel lights on your face? Yeah, right there. That's pretty good. So you're gonna play the tada game. Excellent. So you are going to stand in front of this gorgeous audience and you're gonna put your arms up and out open and you're going to keep them there the whole time. Whole time. No one said I to work out here and you're going to take a deep breath and you're going to say tada now you can put your arms down. Okay, audience, your job is to encourage him to go farther. If you think he has more in him. If he has a bigger tada in him, if you think he can fill this room in a bigger way, you ask him for more and you don't let them off the hook because the audiences want everything. You have to give it a go today to go jogging...
good again again. Okay, now we'll stop so seat right? So you see what happened when he did it again? It came out of his throat. So he went to came out of here as opposed to out of his body. And that time right before it came out of your body don't have the breath. So let's do it again. And I want you to keep going until I just until I either you pass out or I say stack okay. All right. To a very, very how do you know I'm a horrible singer, Like horrific. Really? Okay. You have a naturally open voice so it naturally resonates in your body. I've often been told him a loud talker when I yes, he was telling me tone it down like a little too loud. They're rich. I get that a lot. Yes, it's great to notice that because sometimes a big sound is not what the situation calls for. So that's great to know. The thing is when you have that kind of sound and you train you now can manipulate, you know how to use it to create experiences in the room and if you do that, I think your voice will get bigger and bigger and bigger, but you'll know when to use. That's exactly. So what the voice work does is it allows you to control your breathing because you may need a lot of breath to say something that's gonna go for very long and it's one long thing and you've got to keep moving. You need to keep going. But but you have the breath and you can keep going and I haven't breathed since I took that breath, but it doesn't seem like I'm forcing too much at some point, I will need to take another breath and keep going. But if you know how to control the way that you breathe, then you have control of yourself, which then allows you to control the room, There's at home at home. I hope you're doing this. I hope you're standing there in front of your computer saying to really just all, you know, the police, the neighbors don't don't worry about that. If you live in new york, it's completely normal to walk down the street talking to yourself, they just figure you're crazy or you're an actor, which is usually the same thing, but outside new york or L. A. It's it's not as typical. Uh I was working on one of my key notes uh in the hair place where jake was getting a haircut and I was just going through lines as talking, everybody was looking at me like I was absolutely out of my mind that is not used to it. So if you're around people that are comfortable doing this kind of work, then you'll get comfortable doing this work. So you want to surround yourself with people that will allow themselves to play to be silly. And then you start to open up and you start to feel more comfortable expressing yourself.
