A River Between Chaos and Zen - Ep. 14 - The Pencil Trick
from Creative Actors Lab · host Max and Kelley Grimm
Send us Fan MailMax talks about his first blush with a voice class and how liberating it was. He also talks about his love of Shakespeare and the old radio announcer exercise. He suggests learning some Shakespearean sonnets because they're short and easier to recite, and doing them with the pencil across your mouth, and then taking the pencil out and redoing the sonnet, and it's so much easier to do, and your diction gets better. It's like taking weights off your legs when you want to run. He reads Sonnet 18 - Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day? with a pencil in his mouth, along with Sonnet 52.
