Voice Portfolio - Entry 2

Vocal Development Programme – Entry 02
Date	Tuesday 19th January 2016
Exercise Used	Breath Control and Humming (to warmup my vocal folds and support vocal delivery in rehearsals).
Vocal Characteristics	Breathy – more inhales and exhales through the mouth. Precise – clarity and pacing in speech. Deep – throat resonated delivery.
Vocal Reflection	Posture – Slouched, laid back, and relaxed. Tension Points – Lower back and shoulders. Breathing Capacity and Control – Throat resonated and projected through the mouth at an average pace. Resonance and Projection – A better paced and controlled speech pattern. Diction and Articulation – While slurred in certain words, I was often clear and precise in my delivery. Delivery – Clear, well-paced, and to a low whisper level.
Received Feedback	Feedback given during Restoration Rehearsals: -          Clear -          Adaptable -          Strong -          Emotions inflicted to a good extent.
Strengths	Breath Control Articulation Adaptability
Areas of Improvement	Posture – often finding myself leaning on one side, or slouching, I need to find a strong upright posture to further support my projection and ensure constant articulation.   Articulation – to ensure I do not mumble or slur any lines during rehearsals or performance. Practice Other Resonations – I had constant throat resonation within my speech this week and I aim to focus on chest and nasal captivity to see if there are any improvements.
