Class 7 Homework Assignment Mrs. Mary Nillimore
skelephantitis 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 and calm and your natural voice - I love that you guys are working more with your own voice. I can tell that you've worked on your projection. Because you're on a computer type microphone, it doesn't pick up your projection very well and with a studio mic it would pick up your hard work even more. I know you're a quieter type personality so I know for you this is SUPER projection - great job on that. You could still use even more. Lets keep going in this direction. I love how calm you read, want to be able to turn that on and off on cue, so lets add even more volume or get even closer to the mic (but you could have mic issues then like p popping etc) and I want to hear even more projection. Good job on the read/delivery....was a nice involvement!
