    0246 - The Gravity > Levity Tonal Scale 
    THE GRAVITY > LEVITY TONAL SCALELet’s take that inexhaustive list again and re-work it so the emotions progress over time from a serious to a lighter emotion on our Gravity>Levity Scale. This is of course only my interpretation and you may have other thoughts. You will get further indication of the tone not just from the content but also the context of the script, also from directions on the script, and also from an in-studio producer of the item. Also consider what we looked at before, that some tonal emotions may mix, mesh and merge: it is quite possible that you are asked to read a commercial read in a ‘friendly ominous’ voice for example. 1.      ominous2.      sad3.      irritated4.      worried 5.      cynicism / doubt6.      serious 7.      discovery – “I just found this / had this thought!”8.      intrigued9.      bemused10.   sincere11.   tempting12.   trustworthy13.   warm/caring14.   corporate15.   luxury16.   optimistic17.   proud18.   rousing19.   energetic20.   friendly21.   perky22.   bright Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart

    Peter has been around voice and audio all his working life and has trained hundreds of broadcasters in all styles of radio from pop music stations such as Capital FM and BBC Radio 1 to Heart FM, the classical music station BBC Radio 3 and regional BBC stations. He’s trained news presenters on regional TV, the BBC News Channel and on flagship programmes such as the BBC’s Panorama. Other trainees have been music presenters, breakfast show hosts, travel news presenters and voice-over artists.
    He has written a number of books on audio and video presentation and production (“Essential Radio Journalism”, “JournoLists”, two editions of “Essential Radio Skills” and three editions of “Broadcast Journalism”) and has written on voice and presentation skills in the BBC’s in-house newspaper “Ariel”.
    Peter has presented hundreds of radio shows (you may have heard him on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, Virgin Radio or Kiss, as well as BBC regional radio) with formats as diverse as music-presentation, interview shows, ‘special’ programmes for elections and budgets, live outside broadcasts and commentaries and even the occasional sports, gardening and dedication programmes. He has read several thousand news bulletins, and hosted nearly 2,000 podcast episodes, and is a vocal image consultant advising in all aspects of voice and speech training for presenters on radio and TV, podcasts and YouTube, voiceovers and videocalls.
    The podcast title refers to those who may wish to change their speaking voice in some way. It is not a suggestion that anyone should, or be pressured into needing to. We love accents and dialects, and are well aware that how we speak changes over time. The key is: is your voice successfully communicating your message, so it is being understood (and potentially being acted upon) by your target audience?
    This podcast is London-based and examples are spoken in the RP (Received Pronunciation) / standard-English / BBC English pronunciation, although invariably applicable to other languages, accents and dialects.

  • 0245 – Onomatopoeia
    2021.09.02-0245 – Onomatopoeia
    Occasionally you will find it appropriate to use words which, when you say them, sound like what they mean. “So why don’t you zzzzip up your new winter coat and…”“… and all fresssshhhhly delivered to your door.”“… with the smell of crisssp green apples.”“… relax in the luxurious bubbles and your tension will soak away”“…if it’s a tough job, this is the digger to do it”
    I’m exaggerating a bit in the text, but you get the idea. Take the sentence “with this conditioner, your towels will feel as soft as they the day you bought them…”, and saying “soft” well, softly (!) will give more appropriate colour to the words themselves and make them much more impactful.
    It’s not just what you say but how you say it, and in many cases, it subtly directs the listener to how you want them to feel when they hear it.
    Read the words ‘in colour’.

  • 0244 – I Love You
    0244 – I Love You“I love you” can be said in many different ways, but if you say it with the wrong tone for the moment, you may be in trouble…
    There will be clues in the script and the direction. If the intention is to excite someone, then sound excited. If you are talking about a miserable event, then say it in a downbeat tone. If you are using the actual words “passion”, “excitement”, “adventure”, match your tone and volume with how the words are intended to make the listener feel. For example, think how you might say these sentences?:·        The miserable boy walked home in the rain·        The jubilant boy walked home in the rain·        The shy girl flushed with embarrassment·        The delighted girl flushed with anticipation.

  • 0243 - The Message Gives The Voice
    0243 - The Message Gives The VoiceSinging coach Judy Rodman suggests this exercise.[1] Sing or say the phrase “you're the reason I feel this way” and with the same seven words, intend to send these different messages to the listener: ·        “you're the reason I feel this way” (you make me happy)·        “you're the reason I feel this way” (you made me angry)·        “you're the reason I feel this way” (you left me lonely)·        “you're the reason I feel this way” (you gave me this courage)
    She says “How did your choice of message change your voice? Your breath? Your throat? Your face? Where in your mouth did the words come from? What did you have to do to create those messages?” So, the content of the message and the context of where it fits with a script (who is saying it to who, and under what circumstance), will help you create the sound that is required for an authentic replication.

  • 0242 – When Tonal Emotions Clash
    0242 – When tonal emotions clash Previously we looked at how a good understanding of vocabulary will help you as a broadcaster/podcaster, so you are better able to speak a script with significance – and we’ll come to much more about intonation and inflection later. But being a bit of a wordsmith will help you here as well: if you are in a recording session and a director asks you to read, for example, “more ominously” – will you know what they mean and how to replicate it vocally? What if they said “less bright but more friendly” or “take the seriousness out of your sad voice” – would you understand the nuance? Understand the difference between ‘authoritative’ (confident, comfortable and factual), and ‘arrogant’ (which is the phoney attempt at being authoritative). Is there a subtle difference between “bright” and “perky”, or “corporate”, “sincere” and “serious”, “bemused” and “intrigued”? I’d suggest there is. And many times you will be asked to combine emotion and character: “can you make it sound ‘smart’ but ‘accessible’?”

  • 0241 - Twenty-Two Tonal Emotions
    0241 - Twenty-Two Tonal EmotionsThese aren’t by any means the only emotions which may be prompted by a script, but are here as a sample you can use in various rehearsal readings to explore your range. They are in alphabetical order. 1.      bemused2.      bright3.      corporate4.      cynicism / doubt5.      discovery – “I just found this / had this thought!”6.      energetic7.      friendly8.      intrigued9.      irritated10.   luxury11.   ominous12.   optimistic13.   perky14.   proud15.   rousing16.   sad17.   tempting18.   serious 19.   sincere20.   trustworthy21.   warm/caring22.   worried
    You will notice that with many of these, not only will your tone change but also so will other elements of your presentation. In this vocalisation of emotion, words may become more clipped in a ‘serious’ tone, you may project more with the ‘rousing’ tone, your pitch may heighten with a ‘trivial’ emotion, words may elongate with the ‘bemused’ expression and your speed may become faster with the’ happy’ tone. We will come to all of these elements of voice as the book and course continues. It may not come as much of a surprise to learn that studies have found[1] that emotions such as fear, joy and anger, are vocalised at a higher frequency (that is, pitch), than emotions such as sadness:·        Anger is produced with a lower pitch, higher intensity, more energy (500 Hz) across the vocalization·        Rage or fury is produced with a higher, more varied pitch, and even greater energy (2000 Hz)·        Disgust, in comparison to neutral speech, is produced with a lower, downward directed pitch, with energy (500 Hz), and less variation·        Fearful emotions have a higher pitch, little variation, lower energy, and a faster speech rate with more pauses·        Sad emotions are produced with a higher pitch, less intensity but more vocal energy (2000 Hz), and with longer duration with more pauses.

  • 0240 - Tone In Voice Acting
    -0240 - TONE IN VOICE ACTINGWhereas in newsreading you have to be more impartial, with commercials you are quite the opposite: most definitely partial! You want to persuade people to your point of view, to get them to, for example, buy the product or buy into your idea. The trouble is that many people get so focussed on reading a script that they forget the ‘emotional understanding’ of the character. That ends up with them saying words in a nice voice rather than conveying authentic meaning. So how do you find the attitudinal tone in the script?So far, we have looked at tonal changes when reading a news script. But the same goes for other types of presentation where perhaps the shift can be rather less subtle. For example, in a commercial read or a TV presentation, the ‘shift in the script’ can happen in a heartbeat.

  • 0239 - More on Changing ‘Tonal Tracks’
    0239 - More on changing ‘tonal tracks’A TV game show or shopping channel may also have to ‘turn on a sixpence’ with the presenter’s tone:·        “Congratulations! You’ve just won 50-thousand pounds!” (cheers, applause, music sting) “Now, are you ready to gamble that… for the chance to win 100-thousand pounds, by answering just one question correctly..?” (heartbeat effect)·        “Lines are open… NOW! Our operatives are standing by! Don’t miss your chance to buy this limited-edition diamond dress-ring! The number’s on the screen now! We have only limited stock!” > “Now, if you’ve just joined us, take a look at this beautiful ring. It’s a very pretty 18 Carat White Gold, round Diamond pave set dress ring in a leaf motif design…”
    Here, the ‘call to action’ delivery moves in to the ‘product features’ delivery: not just in the words spoken, but also the vocality. Your tone helps strengthen the message and lead the listener or viewer through to a greater understanding of the message.  Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart

  • 0238 -The Tonal Construct for a Presenter
    0238 -The tonal construct for a presenterThere are then certain parameters for a news reader, but not so for a presenter. Those on the radio, TV or fronting a video will benefit from showing more, authentic emotional tone in their voice. But there again there are tricks and techniques in doing so. First, don’t forget what the emotion is that you want to convey to your audience. It’s easily said, but so many presenters have that disconnect that we talked about earlier when they get in front of the mic and lights. And that’s partly because they have told the story before, or they have rehearsed it, or they are recalling something that happened a long time ago – or inventing a situation from scratch – that they forget to inject the authentic emotional experience in their voice for the listener. Remember the Twenty-two Tones we had earlier? ((no it comes later)  Consider them, so you read something with sincerity or authority. Or you pass on a story with humour or excitement. Or you give details of a personal experience with anger or frustration.  Think about what you are saying and the listener’s likely reaction to it, just as you would if you were speaking with a friend who was right in front of you. Understand the need to exaggerate your natural emotions. Actors are taught that if they acted totally naturally when they performed to an audience some intensity is lost. The emotions seem flat. They have to overplay to seem normal. The same is true for radio. Your highs and lows need to be pushed just a little further, to give a sense of naturalness when they come out of the speaker the other end.  You need to be ‘You+’. Your audience has to feel as though they know you, before they can begin bonding with you. And that means that you have to show a variety of real emotions.[1] Note I said “real emotions” – and that’s not to say that that you fake them, you just heighten them. You need to show that you have a variety of emotions, but realise that does not mean that you have to be ‘emotional’.  And if you try and fake your tone (“I’m so pleased to be back and to share my ideas and help you…!”), well, it’s likely to be heard at 100 paces. Acting is, after all, only an act and a fake façade foretells failure.  [1] I once trained a TV newsreader who had a story in her bulletin about a missing girl who was thought to have been murdered. She almost sang the story, with no feeling for the story or the victim’s family who may have been watching. The reader and I worked out that because she had read the story so many times, she had forgotten its significance. Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart

  • 0237 – Tonal Changes From Heavy to Light
    0237 – Tonal changes from heavy to lightSerious/sad ­– another sad story from the ‘universal emotions’ file. A serious tone, perhaps tinged with a hint of resignation as if to say “everyone had not dare fear the worse but…”. If you were reading this on a station closer to this event, and perhaps had this story as a lead in the bulletin, the tone may become slightly more serious as friends and relatives of the family concerned may be hearing the news for the first time.A body has been found by emergency services searching for a girl who'd fallen into the water near Loch Lomond in West Dunbartonshire. The alarm was raised in Balloch yesterday evening. In Norfolk, a woman in her thirties has died after getting into difficulties in the sea at the village of Waxham.
    Lighter – a lighter story to end the bulletin. It’s not ‘fun’ and certainly not ‘funny’ but conjures up pictures in one’s mind of metal detectorists, raises questions of “what if I’d found them…”  A hoard of Bronze Age artefacts has been discovered in the Scottish Borders. The find is considered to be of national significance. It includes a complete horse harness -- preserved by the soil -- and a sword, which have been dated as being from 1000 to 900 BC. So, when you look at a script you have to have to work out the appropriate tone in which to read it, and you do that by finding the emotion or feeling that is trying to be evoked by the content and context. It is vital to get the tone of your news presentation just right. You need to sound authoritative yet natural and informal. And as we will see later, you need to have the speed of your reading just right and inject the correct amount of ‘light’ and ‘shade’ of intonation in your voice. Talking fast and loud does not mean you sound more urgent or dramatic; often it is quite the reverse. As in many things, the key is in finding the correct balance.
