Learning Question: Why is the voice important and what voice do actors need?

Answer: Voice tells us so much about the person like their personality.

Outcomes:

Understand basic voice skills, tone, pitch, projection, volume and accent

VOICE SKILLS KEYWORDS

• Pitch – speaking in a high, low or natural voice.
• Pace – the speed at which someone speaks, eg the speed of response in an argument.
• Pause – a dramatic pause at a crucial moment could merit a comment.
• Tone – this suggests your mood and your intention towards the listener, eg happy or sad.
• Volume – you might be commenting on audibility but you’re more likely to be discussing the effect of a loud, powerful voice or a quiet, nervous or sad voice.
• Accent – you may be talking about how someone has achieved a convincing accent or how the choice of accent enhanced their characterization.
• Emphasis – the pressure on individual words that makes them stand out. Emphasis or stress for a particular effect is significant and can change the meaning of a sentence as well as the feeling behind it.
• Intonation – the rise and fall of the voice. There’s a clear movement up at the end of a sentence when we ask questions for example. Intonation also helps us to say what we mean.
