Voice Projection

 

09/05/2023

Greetings to all, welcome to a new entry

I come to analyze a little of what we have seen these last occasions; It is about the projection on the voices, it helps us to be able to understand and listen more easily, we can build our confidence as a speaker and have an authority that helps us maintain attention in any dialogue that is established, it would not be necessary to be able to shout or raise your voice so that it is heard louder because it is not so simple for that.

We carried out different activities to be able to practice our voice projection, we started with the IMITATION,  we had to fake our voices imitating a man, a woman and a child, it is easy for me to imitate a man but also some women because I have a soprano voice, not all women speak with a high voice, my voice was changed at 16 and a half years old,  if it is half easy for me to also imitate the tone of a woman but it is rare, the easy thing is that the tone of my voice is soprano but it is easier for me to imitate the voice of a child, but the easiest thing always to a man, as for example Gotye has a soprano voice and I have that phonetics and almost always it comes out like that when I speak for that,  but sometimes you hear me like Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and Peter Hernandez (Bruno Mars) although they hear the sound through the microphone.

 

Then we saw the theme about RESONANCE where they made us sing and pronounce the vowel sounds in a good and long way. It catches my attention to sing and that idea is very nice because I am very good at imitating voices in some artists, I sang only what was necessary, although I wanted to sing one of my favorite songs, but those had not been assigned to me in class and the teacher watched us all as we rehearsed.

 

Then we saw a little bit of BREATHING and in this activity we were put into conversation as we moved backwards/forwards; and we did exercises and it was similar when we went to the gym and talked at the time we exercised.

 

And in the end in the JOINT we used a pencil in our mouth that served us to articulate sounds, it was a bit stressful because I felt that my jaw was going to hurt, but we enjoyed it.

 

In summary, our friend Nidia showed us a presentation about commercials, as we know very well she works on FM 102.1 radio and is an announcer, she has an excellent voice, her work is great and I admire her a lot, we were all happy to hear her defend her work, she is a great exemplary person, a great friend,  He advised us how to moderate the tone of voice and we also had practices with the following intentions: neutral / natural, sales / commercial in institutional.

 

These are the following intentions we practice:   

                       

                                                                Nidia’s presentation:

 

For us it is always convenient to understand how to use voice projection correctly because we have to have experiences in a case that we must talk a lot through a presentation and we would not forget how to sound natural / clear and deliver the message pleasantly, that's why I have to always remember to work on my voice, for that is to practice exercises and thus be able to learn to speak like a true professional.

 

In the end today we worked to imitate actors in a movie and we made gestures, contact to signs when we were participating with a song, here are some examples of the videoclips that i recorded below:

 

That would be all for today and I hope you liked it, if you have any opinion about it make the comment, thank you very much.
