Voice
Our voice is the way we connect to each other.
…these days more than ever. The further we get away from our colleagues, students, people, and with only a screen image between us, our voice defines us. And when the screen image disappears, and we’re on phone calls, podcasts, audio, it becomes the only way our audience connects with us. Our voice is utterly unique to us…. like a fingerprint.
We talk for our jobs – sometimes for hours on end. We warm up our bodies, before movement and endurance sports. Voice is a physical action and speaking is an endurance sport. Do you warm up your voice before a full athletic day of vocal demands? Do you end up with a sore throat or are you physically and mentally exhausted at the end of a full Zoom day? It’s easy to fix. And fun.
