Watch: https://youtu.be/pkvQXhyl8f0Wondering how to speak more naturally with richer emotion? Before you think about what to do with your face, your mouth, or tongue, or breath, think about the intonation pattern. Specifically, think about not only rising and falling intonation patterns, but patterns that combine the two of them! By changing your intonation to include more wavering, you can become a more dynamic speaker. Let's explore!Welcome to For Word, the platform dedicated to guiding you towards better spoken performance. We're constantly looking at techniques to add more vocal variety to how we talk by incorporating more softness and firmness to our, furrowing eyebrows, smiling, raising and lowering pitches, adding pauses in order to convey frustration, sadness, joy and nervousness, and considering how to add more breath to everything we say. Let's see how these elements of contrast and body language can lead to richer expression.In this video, we're especially paying attention to our head position to see how the location we look towards immediately changes the quality of the voice we use-and how sometimes looking down might be the best option for what we need to say, and other times looking up could be the perfect fit.#performance #poetry #speaking
