Definitely not bad for not having a mic. It was very clear!

Woah - Incredibly clear for not having a mic. Great pacing and dynamics!

HW Review:

Hey Lailah! I love the friendly tone you have to your voice. It's very natural and welcoming. I think this is a pretty solid read! That said, let's talk about the goal of this homework; projection.

If you were to speak at the level in your submission in a gymnasium full of people with no mic, anyone standing in the middle row to the back wouldn't be able to hear what you're saying.

Utilize your core muscles where your diaphragm sits to to PUSH your voice out with your diaphragm. If you only use your lungs, you won't be able to add power to your voice. Place your hand on your center and practice pushing air out with your diaphragm so you can become more aware of how it feels when you use it.

You've got a nice grasp on your breath control and your pacing, but you lack projection. I'd like to encourage you to practice some scripts on your own time (and/or go audition for some louder roles!) so you can get more comfortable with how it feels to utilize your diaphragm to project. I look forward to your next HW submission!
