You’ve got a character voice. You’ve got some text. Now what?
In this video I walk through a 3-step process for taking lines — e.g.a script, a speech, a roleplay intro, whatever — and really getting them into your body as a character, not just as words you’ve memorised.
This is a voice lesson. I use a real example: learning a line in Portuguese (badly) for a clown show I’ve got the next day, and running it through a character voice from my toolbox — a very particular kind of Sergeant Major energy.
I talk about things like:
* Tips to learn lines better in the first place.
* What “breaking the voice” means and why it’s a good thing.
* How to use physical games to take your lines (and voice) to the next level.
* What vocal “anchors” are and how to find yours for a specific character voice
* The link between physical tension and character voice — and why releasing unnecessary tension has to come first
