Wed7PMET Session 7
Kay McGlinch for Voice Actor
Monologue Homework: please record the following 3 scripts in ONE MP3 FILE. Try a simple slate off the top: "Hi this is _____ _____, reading for Homework Class 7"
We are looking at showing range within each emotional sector. Emotions mix, change, and vary. Try and give yourself an imagined scene this can work in that allows you to be present and adaptive, as if it was real life happening right now.
Don't stop your body from making suggestions like life sounds, breath changes, non scripted words and sounds as it offers them. See what happens!
Anger Script
WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG? WATCH YOUR AIM YOU NIMBISUL! HAVE YOU GONE MAD! DAMMIT THEY MUST HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I ESCAPED... THAT WAS JUST TOO DAMN CLOSE. YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL! THAT PATHETIC SHELL OF A MAN KILLED HIMSELF, AND IF YOU LEFT ME FOR ONE MORE MINUTE IN THAT PLACE I WOULD HAVE GONE NEXT.
Fear Script
The flames are getting closer...spreading through the streets of the city. The only choice I have is to feed them, or die trying. The Armonds are moving in to stop me. They’ve got me surrounded... (pause) I need help, and the only ones who can assist me, might be worse than the disease itself.
Disgust Script
What the hell was that? I don’t get it
How can you even stand looking at it? So what you just fall into the garbage and carry it around with you like it was perfume? Well it’s not
And it’s not funny.
Seriously it’s nasty – do something about it!
I can’t handle this...
*Say something you think would fit*
Thanks Kay Slate is fine! Succinct and just an introduction, that's enough. You sound professional and ready to work. That's all it needs! It'll evolve as you do :) ANGER: Nice intensity and power and focus. Really like the pace and shift of expressions. Lovely life sound and engaging delivery. FEAR: great pace and focus, very nice affect and varied expression. Really captivating! DISGUST: HA great life sound. Fantastic focus, a little slow for IRL energy IMO, but it REALLY works well, jut trust your instincts for the world/moment you imagine, you can ride this wave!
Thank you for the feedback. Good to know about the slate! :)
