Vocal Resonance

Your voice is a vibration that starts in your chest and travels through the air to touch someone else's ears. When actors speak clearly, their voices carry their feelings like a physical wave. Your voice is a bridge that connects your inside world to everyone else.

Your voice is a bridge that connects your inside world to everyone else. One person speaks in a room of a thousand and every eardrum vibrates at the same frequency. That is not communication. That is physics performing intimacy. Your voice is the only instrument that was born inside your body.

Vocal resonance: amplification of phonation through the body's natural chambers (pharynx, mouth, nose). The physical manifestation of intent and authority. Connects to acoustics and physics: sympathetic resonance allows one individual's biological frequency to influence the physical state of an entire room. Your voice does not carry words. Your voice carries you.

SOUND: Humming low and feeling your chest buzz: your body becoming the speaker.

SMELL: Breathing in deep and smelling fresh air: the fuel for the voice.

TASTE: A pop sound on your lips like a tiny bubble: phonetics you can taste.

TOUCH: Your hand on a speaker while music plays: feeling someone else's voice in your bones.

SIGHT: Ripples across a pond after you throw a rock: your voice does this to air.

BODY: Feeling your throat move as you swallow: the instrument tuning itself.
