Vocal Development Programme
Wednesday 6th
January 2016
For our next Voice assignment I will be
analyzing my own vocal characteristics and exploring how vocal exercises and
techniques can support my development as a vocal performer for both stage and
audio performances. For this first post
I will give a brief description of my current vocal characteristic state,
strengths, and any areas for future improvement. In future posts I will monitor my vocal
progression and make evidence of any exercises that support my progression as a
performer.
Description of
Vocal Characteristics
Physical Posture – Physically I do find
unwanted tensions within my shoulders and chest captivity and this does have an
effect on my posture as I fidget, until I find relaxation.
Rhythm and
Articulation – When rehearsing
I like to memorize my lines through repetition, this allows me to gain an
exceptional rhythm, in my projection of my lines. Although I sometimes hesitate when
articulating my ‘t’s and ‘th’s.
Breath Support – Learning and memorizing
a rhythm to my speech does support my breath capacity, as I know precise points
to inhale and exhale.
Projection and
Pitch & Tone – When it comes to
projection, I feel I have mastered the appropriate stage voice, to an extent
where I am not screaming my lines and I am inflicting the appropriate pitch and
tone residence suited for my character.
What
will I explore in future reflective entries?

have analyzed certain Strengths and Areas of
Improvement. Currently my strengths are:
1.
