Join the group to appear on screen with me in a future episode: https://t.me/+-JwFg0y07yozYjkxWelcome to The Express, a weekly show where we take a written text and transform it into living, natural, speech. We'll go through a variety of communication techniques to leave you with a better understanding of how your voice and body can transform other people's lives, and your own.We're using a poem by William Carlos WilliamsWondering what challenge to overcome in order to become a better speaker and communicator? Wondering how to speak more naturally with richer emotion? Before you think about what to do with your face, your mouth, or tongue, or breath, think about patterns. What words and parts of words are you giving space to? What are you doing with your pitch? What direction are your pitches going in?Welcome to For Word, the platform dedicated to guiding you towards better spoken performance. We're constantly looking at techniques to add more vocal variety to how we talk by incorporating more softness and firmness to our, furrowing eyebrows, smiling, raising and lowering pitches, adding pauses in order to convey frustration, sadness, joy and nervousness, and considering how to add more breath to everything we say. Let's see how these elements of contrast, body language, and other elements of communication can lead to richer expression.In this video, we're especially paying attention to patterns involving pitch and how to break them#performance #poetry #speaking
