Class 7 Homework Assignment Mrs. Mary Nillimore
WendyW for Voice Actor
3 auditions per day
200 doggy pants per day: it has now been 6 weeks since we introduced this exercise to you all. For those of you who are getting use to 200 and can do them comfortably in 1 sitting, I recommend aiming for 400 at this point. Either way it's time to start creating an exercise regime.
Monologue: Going forward, I will be listening to not just your vocal techniques but also bits about your acting as well. I encourage you all to be reading this week's monologue while moving your hands. If you are able to watch yourself in the mirror, pay attention to see if you are repeating the same hand gestures over and over again; or perhaps, you find yourself nodding to a particular rhythm; or maybe your hand movements aren't synchronized to your speech sometimes. This will teach you a lot about the way you act and show you some habits that you never knew you had in your acting.
Say something you think would fit
NICE WORK ON THE PACE MY FRIEND. Seems too slow to you I'm sure when you voiced it, but this is MUCH MUCH better. I can hear everything I need to hear. I can hear your articulation, I can hear your consonants, your words aren't slurring or running together, great projection, beautiful tone in the open voiced sounds. Now as we add acting into play your reads are going to get better and better. Right now you're doing it right, so keep this up, and as we learn more acting techniques, don't forget this beautiful speed and clarity
Thank you for the feedback, Deb! I will try to maintain that pace going forward. I guess for animation, I thought I needed to talk faster, but this is probably the base I need to start with. I'm looking forward to levelling up the acting side! Thank you!
