The self-improvement industry is just enormous. It's worth $41 billion worldwide says this report, but, by the time you factor in everything from health and diet to training and education to media, I think it's much, much bigger than that. We are almost all of us looking to improve ourselves in some way. We might spend fortunes and hours getting fit, strong or supple. We might spend ages making ourselves look beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how long my eldest daughter can spend getting herself ready for work. She's only going to work! We might spend hours reading or listening podcasts about how we can improve our performance, our habits or our psychology. Of Amazon's best selling books last year three of the top ten can be filed under self-improvement (Atomic Habits by James Clear and two Nathan Anthony books on healthy eating). But there is one thing we don't seem to spend any time trying to improve, and that is how we speak Occasionally, clips of people being interviewed way back when appear on Twitter or Facebook. Just ordinary folk. What is so amazing to me is just how beautifully people spoke. Compare that to the noises that come out of some peoples mouths today: the awful vowel sounds, the poor diction, even the language itself is frequently just so ugly. Even actors and broadcasters, who are supposed to be professional speakers, are mostly dreadful. Little priority is given to excellence in voice and speech. When I hear actors in period dramas, I want to despair. Leading politicians are mostly awful. Listen to Rishi Sunak: the Prime Minister's voice is puny. I had a father who was a theatrical, obsessed with the spoken word and I guess that has always made me look at the world - or should I say listen to the world - from that angle. He and I used to work together loads on various exercises. Then at drama school we spent hours and hours on voice and speech: humming, singing, diction exercises - exercising your tongue with little bits of wood between your teeth to stretch it (I can't even remember what those bits of wood are called. Edit: bone props - thanks to reader Nicholas Benson).“Articulatory agility is a desirable ability manipulating with dexterity the lips, the teeth and the tip of the tongue”. We had to say that over and over. I guess that stood me in good stead because voiceovers became my primary source of income for 25 years. But even I don't think I've done a voice or speech exercise in over a decade, and when I catch myself speaking I often think, “sloppy”.Elocution lessons were a big thing once upon a time. People would actively try to improve the way they spoke in order to improve their situation. I guess, because of microphones and amplified sound, the need has gone away, though we are still judged on how we speak.I know that there are plenty of voice and speech coaches today, but in general, this is one area of self-improvement that doesn't seem to have taken off. How I wish it would. How often do you see somebody, who looks absolutely magnificent, only for them to open their mouth and then something horrendous comes out? But if you should criticise somebody's voice or speech, that makes you a snob. “They can't help how they speak,” comes the retort. Yes, they can. Voice and speech are physical skills. They improve with exercise. In the same way that we have a culture of exercise and sport, I wish we had a culture of improving our voice and speech as well.It would make such a difference.Never mind free speech. Let's have some good speech. Until next time,DominicPS Don't forget my two shows this week on Feb 14th and 15th at the Museum of Comedy in London. All about gold.

The hardest human skill is the art of persuasion, especially persuasion done well in large groups. Enter public speaking, also known as elocution, rhetoric, oratory, and declamation.

The episode starts with the lads announcing that Kevin is appearing in the Cork Opera House pantomime this year (oh yes he is etc etc) and how he already has a romanticised vision of his Christmas in Cork. The pair then move on to the theme for this week which is accents and ponder whether the podcast would be as successful as it is if it wasn't for their Cork accents. They also have very little faith in the suggestion that Irish people have the sexiest accent in the world (surely not like?) and put their acting skills to the test by taking famous movie quotes and giving them a Leeside spin.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In continuing our theme of fealty of knights in service of kings, we have a different sort of "knight" this week, Carie and Ross cover Tom Hooper's Academy Award Winning film, The King's Speech (2010). Ross divulges all the tea shared between King George VI (or "Bertie") and his elocution coach, Lionel Logue who landed his own title in chivalry under the British crown. Carie groans at the protocol of royal life, Ross gives us the cliffnotes on the David arc from the Crown, and the siblings appreciate the power of a well-timed speech in a not well time at all.

On Sleaford Mods latest album Spare Ribs the Nottingam duo keep their aim firmly at the ruling political class and their mishandling of the pandemic. As the U.K. reels from further economic unraveling thanks to the harsh realities from the Tory push for Brexit, coupled with a decade of austerity measures, Jason Williamson's agit-punk over Andrew Fearn's sly beats continues to give voice to the everyman and their frustrations. Lyrically, the rants are richer, more poetic and in parts intimate, stripping it of the machismo that his image might first brandish to the casual listener. Williamson sheds light on this shifting perspective. He is still shouting about the world outside but also ruminating on parts of his interior life that may have been previously locked away.And after a hard slog to the top, they appear eager to extend a hand to nascent women artists. Watch out for newcomer Billy Nomates and Australian, Amy Taylor, from Amyl & The Sniffers—both have excellent features on this album.Many thanks for making this possible — Thank you Jason for giving a F*ck. To Rough Trade Records and Abby Rubin at Beggars Group for use of songs. Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn for use of "Don't Want A Disco Or 2." And Talia Miller at Rough Trade Records for additional support.Songs Featured: "Nudge It," "Jobseeker," "Don't Wanna Disco Or 2," "BHS," "Shortcummings," "Elocution," "Mork & Mindy," "Top Room," "I Don't Rate You" and "Out There."To share your thoughts on this episode, email: celine.teoblockey@undertheradarmag.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Did you ever do this weird subject in school that Ak and JD were talking about One of the items on the show today was the phrase ''how now brown cow'' which is used by reporters, broadcasters, performers and singers to warm their speech muscles up before speaking or singing. This got Adrian and Jeremy to start talking about Elocution lessons which were a big thing in the past. Elocution were basically where an individual learned to speak ''posh''. Kelly won our Quiz today with a runaway score of 4.

In diesem Podcast geht es um die Frage: was kann ich eigentlich noch glauben, bei wie vielen Dingen geht es eher nur noch um goldene Worte. Es geht darum etwas für sich selbst rauszuschlagen, auf dem Markt zu bestehen – das kann wütend machen – und wenn jemand gut im wütend sein ist, dann die Sleaford Mods – und im Januar kam etwas neues von den zwei Typen aus Nottingham – und ich habe mich total in den Hypnose Basslinie von Elocution verliebt und dann ist da noch der tolle Text. In dem Song Elocution beschreiben die beiden etwas, was sie nicht sein möchten – nämlich jemand, der hinter freundlichen Wörtern seine egoistischen Ansichten versteckt. – Am Anfang sagen sie in perfekten Englisch, wie wichtig Unabhängigkeit ist – aber es ist eine Anklage an die, die Positionen beziehen, nicht wegen der Positionen, sondern um für sich selbst Auszeichnungen abzuräumen – ja und da kann es dann auch mal Spaß machen ordinär zu werden und zu sagen, dass solche Typen einfach Wichser sind. Die Sleaford Mods beschreiben in ihren Songs miese Zustände, sie regen sich auf, und gebrauchen sehr viele Flüche um ihren Positionen Deutlichkeit zu verleihen – es gibt so Tage da möchte ich mich aufregen und fluchen und dann sind die Sleaford Mods eine passende Musik dazu. Es geht also darum echt zu sein, das zu sagen, was man meint und nicht nur so daher zu reden, um für sich selbst etwas zu erreichen. Die Sleaford Mods teilen eben heftig aus, ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste, sie klagen an und bennen was nicht stimmt, das ist sicher ein großer Teil ihres Erfolges, sie sind keine Schönredner und mir gefällt das richtig gut. Im Song geht es gegen die Leute, die sich mit ihrem Schöngerede nur selbst bewerben wollen und denen die Sache eigentlich egal ist. Eure Rede sei: Ja, ja; nein, nein. Was darüber ist, das ist von Übel. Dem wollen wir im Podcast nachgehen. Einen, den ich für die @sleaford_mods und diese Idee begeistern konnte, ist Guido @guidoglaubt. Er hat bei Instagram eine Umfrage zu diesem Themenfeld gemacht und erzählt in Gedanke 2 davon, was da so rausgekommen ist. Jemand die ich sehr für ihre klare Kante schätze ist Maike @ja.und.amen, sie spricht immer wieder das an, was für sie dran ist, mit einer sympathischen offenen Einstellung: egal was die anderen denken – für mich ist jetzt DAS an der Reihe und es muss jetzt raus. Ich freue mich, dass sie in Gedanke 3 dabei ist.

What if feminist music history isn't just about elevating composers like Amy Beach and Clara Wieck Schumann, but also about understanding how everyday women made music? What is elocution, and how did a now-obscure genre of musical readings represent a cornerstone of American women performing in the nineteenth century?

In the aftermath of William restarting elocution lessons after spending too much time with Jordan, the only acceptable outcome was to invite Jordan along for the ride for his own personalised lesson. As Jordan learns how to say 'ow' properly, maybe you'll be saying the same after listening to this episode.

Since Adepticon is on all of our scrub minds, we decided to take this episode to focus on tournament prep and etiquette for big events: an especially important subject given the recent spread of COVID-19.
In Episode 5 of the podcast, we are joined by international communications expert Rebecca Diaz-Bonilla. Rebecca got her start as a theatre major in college, but it was as a law student that she first became aware of how nerves and unpolished communication skills tripped up even the most brilliant intellectual arguments of her fellow classmates—an observation that continued well into her law practice. This gap led Rebecca to blend her background in theater and the law, to teach professionals about overriding their nerves so they could excel at public speaking. Rebecca’s consulting work takes her around the world as she coaches lawyers, executives, and politicians how to communicate with power and effect. Rebecca is a longtime faculty member and author for NITA. Topics 3:04 From theater to law 5:30 “Acting” and emotional self-control 7:17 What makes a trial lawyer unlikeable 8:35 “Other-centeredness” and self-awareness 11:50 Confidence, credibility, clarity, likeability 15:00 Phone and video conferencing basics 21.08 Importance of motion practice 22:30 Types of courtroom communications 25:17 Developing extemporaneous speaking skills 28:38 Gender differences in communication styles 32:12 Diagnosing your adrenaline surge 38:03 Improv training for lawyers 40:10 New media and oral communication skills 42:17 Communicating across the generation gap 45:58 Elocution to admire 48:01 Signature “softball” Quote “Becoming self-aware for a trial lawyer is so important so that you’re able to stay attuned to what are each and every one of those jurors thinking, what’s the judge thinking, how are they feeling, how is that witness dealing with being up on that stand and being asked questions? And the second you act pompous and disrespectful you lose the case for your client.” Rebecca Diaz-Bonilla Recommended Resources Rebecca Diaz-BonillaFoolproof: The Art of Communication for Lawyers and ProfessionalPoint Well Made: Oral Advocacy in Motion PracticeChildren Interrupt BBC News interview – BBC NewsFix Your Totally Miserable Conference CallsA Video Conference Call in Real LifeSeven Business Lessons for Lawyers from Improv ComedyKobe Bryant’s Last Great InterviewKobe Bryant on Shaq Drama & Raising Four DaughtersKobe Bryant – The Interview with Ahmad Rashad

Today, Billy and Annie share their discussion with Gai Jones. Gai, Founder of CA Youth in Theatre, entered educational theatre by way of a small liberal arts college for women in Oklahoma which offered a specialized degree, BA in Speech and Drama, an equivalent of a BFA. While teaching eighth grade Speech/Drama in Fullerton, CA, she completed an MA in Theatre as the first woman to receive the degree at CA State University, Fullerton in 1968.

Although largely forgotten today, elocution was a popular form of domestic and professional entertainment from the late nineteenth century until around World War II. Elocution is the dramatic reading of poetry, adapted plays, and other types of monologues by a solo performer. Dr. Marian Wilson Kimber's new book, The Elocutionists: Women, Music, and the Spoken Word (University of Illinois Press, 2017) is the first study to examine elocutionists who recited spoken word accompanied by music and proscribed movements that reflected the emotional meaning of the piece. Informed by archival sources gathered all over the country, Wilson Kimber engages with this practice through multiple lenses, including gender, race, and class as she untangles not only how elocution was performed, but also what it meant to its practitioners and audiences. She highlights important figures that some may know from other areas such as Kitty Cheatham, an advocate for and performer of African American spirituals, and the actress Fanny Kemble. However, most of the women she profiles were performers, entrepreneurs, and composers whose work has disappeared from public view as their artform fell out of favor. In addition to reciting in concert halls and for women's clubs, professional elocutionists usually taught others and many founded their own schools in towns and cities throughout the United States. Their work helped create opportunities for women to move into professional occupations and contributed to twentieth-century conceptions of middle-class respectability. Dr. Wilson Kimber has videotaped several reconstructions of elocution performances which can be seen on her YouTube channel here. They are surprisingly humorous and address topics that people will recognize today including the pressure on women to dress fashionably, the excitement of a summer romance, and the aches and pains of aging. Learn more about The Elocutionists here. Marian Wilson Kimber is a professor in the School of Music at the University of Iowa. Her work centers on gender and music of the long nineteenth century in Germany and the United States. She has published articles on anti-Semitism in the reception of music by Felix Mendelssohn in The Mendelssohns: Their Music in History, the piano work of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel in The Journal of Musicological Research, and issues of feminist biography in the life of Fanny Hensel in Nineteenth–Century Music. The Elocutionists has been supported by subventions from the Society for American Music and the American Musicological Society, as well as research funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Mellon Foundation. She is also an active member of the American Musicological Society and the University Iowa Chapter of the American Association of University Professors. Kristen M. Turner, Ph.D. is a lecturer at North Carolina State University in the music department. Her work centers on American musical culture at the turn of the twentieth century and has been published in several journals and essay collections. Learn more about your ad choices.
