2023.03.18 – 0807 – Tension and Relaxation We looked at releasing tension in the mouth, jaw, tongue and lips in the previous chapter, but as the Voice Box above shows, physical tension that can affect your voice can be in many other places. “Tension murders vibration (and) vibrations thrive in relaxation”Kristin Linklater, “Freeing the Natural Voice: Imagery and Art in the Practice of Language” And it's important to remember that physical tension can come from mental tension: nerves or excitement about a presentation can manifest themselves in your muscles and so affect your performance. You see how everything is interconnected? (We look at mental stress and ‘mic fright' in the next chapter.) Muscles in a state of undue tension can make your voice sound a little thin, strained, irritated or bored and put it up an octave. Your reading can also speed up and your mouth can dry up leading to articulation problems. Releasing tension opens the diaphragm, which gives deeper breathing which in turn helps the voice sound more open and confident. And in a ‘self-fulfilling spiral', when you know you sound good, you relax, you slow down, your heart rate decreases and the natural fluids returns to your mouth. And during times of dramatic or significant news, it is important for radio and TV presenters to manage their personal tension. Feeling anxious, angry, sad or depressed can make it difficult to sound comforting or calm. But that is exactly what radio presenters need to sound if they are to communicate their message effectively. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Carlos Carrasco: From Panama to The Stars Carlos Carrasco has a lifetime of roles on stage and screen under his belt, including four roles across "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and "Star Trek: Voyager." His first role was as the Klingon warrior named D'Ghor in the DS9 classic "The House of Quark." Carlos followed that being a Klingon KCA officer with Garak on a leash in "Shattered Mirror," then jumped to VOY as Bahrat in "Fair Trade," and made his "shocking" final appearance as the alien Krole in "Honor Among Thieves." Growing up in Panama, Carlos explains how he found his way into acting, why he left his home country to pursue the American dream, performing Shakespeare across the nation and his experiences in the New York and regional theater world, and the challenges of finding roles as a Latino actor when he was coming up in the business. Carlos discusses his makeup routines for his various Star Trek roles, memories of working on set, meeting Stephen hawking during the filming of one episode, the Shakespearean qualities of Star Trek, and what Carlos learned from Kristin Linklater that he implemented in his Trek roles. Plus, a hilarious story about Rita Moreno, his time in "Crocodile Dundee 2", "Return of Super Fly," "Speed" with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock and the drastic changes that happened during the production of that film, and more!

Hello, Welcome to episode one, of Your Free Voice! In this episode, we're going to consider the notion of what IS a FREE voice? It has all kinds of connotations from the metaphorical to the literal, and we can look at it in terms of the mechanics of the voice, and we can look at it in terms of how much we feel able to speak our truth. “Physical awareness and relaxation are the first steps in the work to be done on the voice. The mind and body must learn to cooperate in activating and releasing inner impulses and dissolving physical inhibitions. Actors must develop bodies that are sensitive and integrated rather than super controlled and muscular. They must educate the voice into the union of self and body. The voice communicates the inner world of the psyche to the outer world of attentive listeners, both on the stage and in life." Kristin Linklater - Freeing the Natural Voice In order to have a fully 'free' voice, and by that I'm going to say, a voice that is unencumbered by physical tension, doesn't fatigue easily, recovers quickly from hard effort... to have a 'free' voice you need to take into account the spiritual, the psychological and the physical. So in this podcast, I'm going attempt to bring those different approches togther. I'm going to invite some super people on, to talk more about areas of vocal expression that they're passionate about, and give you lots of actionable steps to try along the way, from meditations to journalling prompts, vocal exercises and re-imagining of old stories.  I'm so glad you're here with me.    Episode One: Journaling Prompts 1. How do you feel about speaking up or singing in public? 2. How easy is it for you to 'color outside of the lines' when you use your voice? 3. How does your voice feel after extended use?  4. If you could do anything with your voice, what would it be? 5. What do you think is stopping you from doing that right now?   Also, if you're interested here is the link to the IAVMT   Transcript Your Free Voice Episode One Julia Norton:  Hello, and welcome to episode one of Your Free Voice. In this episode, I wanted to talk a little bit about the idea of what is a ‘free' voice.  It has all kinds of connotations from the metaphorical to the literal, and we can look at it in terms of the mechanics of the voice, and we can look at it in terms of how much we feel able to speak our truth. So, it's a massive topic actually. I'm gonna start off with a couple of little quotes just to kind of get us going.  Kristin Linklater from her book, ‘Freeing The Natural Voice' says, and I'm just, I'm gonna read this bit here, says  “To free the voice is to free the person and each person is indivisibly mind and body. Since physical processes generate the sound of the voice, the inner muscles of the body must be free to receive the sensitive impulses from the brain that create speech.” that's Kristin Linklater, ‘Freeing The Natural Voice.'  I'm going have a whole episode on Kristin Linklater, later on. But I just wanted to introduce that concept to you, the idea of being free of the physical tension, but also psychological limitations and creative limitations. Depending on where you grow up in the world there's going to be a certain set of cultural expectations of what's appropriate and what isn't appropriate and what isn't appropriate gets put into shadow. It doesn't mean it's bad. It's the Jungian term, for the stuff that isn't supposed to be seen. I don't want to get too deep into shadow, immediately in episode one but say, for example, you grow up in a house full of athletes and athletic types, but you really want to write poetry, your desire to write poetry might get pushed into shadow [00:02:00] because it's not an acceptable way to express yourself in that environment.  Now it doesn't mean that writing poetry is a bad thing at all, in fact it would probably be a wonderful thing, but it got pushed into shadow nonetheless. So our shadow, the side of us that is a buried side, often has all kinds of treasure for us. I'm sure I will go into way more detail about that later, but I just want talk about the idea of what stops our voice from being free. So often it's either this. Feeling that we can't speak our truth or something terrible will happen. There will be consequences that we won't be able to bear or that we'll put somebody else in danger by speaking our truth. Or that it's socially inappropriate to speak our truth. And all of this kind of builds [00:03:00] layers of holding in the body, which manifests in the actual musculature of how we use our voice. So it becomes a physical thing. So it may start off as a psychological or a spiritual block or, or stall, and then it becomes physical. And so I think to work just physically with the voice, we're kind of missing half of the story, because half of the story is how you feel about your voice? What are the stories that you're carrying that tell you that you can't speak up, or you can't be loud or, you can't be angry or a myriad of other things? So in order to have a fully free voice, and by that, I'm going to say a voice that is [00:04:00] unencumbered by physical tension, and doesn't fatigue easily. One that recovers quickly from hard effort …to have a free voice you need to take into account the spiritual, the psychological and the physical. So I'm going to attempt to bring that together more in this podcast, I'm going to invite some super people on, to talk more about it, but I'm just gonna give you this,  little passage from Kristen Linklater here. She writes.  “Physical awareness and relaxation are the first steps in the work to be done on the voice.The mind and body must learn to cooperate in activating and releasing inner impulses and dissolving physical inhibitions. Actors must develop [00:05:00] bodies that are sensitive and integrated rather than super controlled and muscular. They must educate the voice into the union of self and body. The voice communicates the inner world of the psyche to the outer world of attentive listeners, both on the stage and in life.” Kristin Linklater I absolutely love that chunk there, and it actually leads me into the training that I did in the UK the Voice Movement Therapy training.  I had been teaching group harmony singing workshops. When, when I was about, I think I was 19 or 20, when I led my first one, I rented a community hall space. I sold tickets and I said, I'm gonna teach you some, Bulgarian part harmonies. I was doing part harmony singing workshops, and I found that [00:06:00] people would always cry. They would cry from a deep breathing exercise. They would cry when we hit a certain harmonic resonance, there would always be tears. And at the age of 19, I totally understood that this was a real thing, and at the same time I felt completely ill-equipped to be able to deal with it, to be able to bring people through on that journey. . And so I actually stopped running workshops for a bit, and I went on this quest to find some training that would help me understand how the voice works with the psyche, with the soul. It took a little while. I think I was looking. for about eight years. And then I found Paul Newham's training in Voice Movement Therapy in the UK, and I signed up right away. Like oh my goodness, that is exactly [00:07:00] the thing that I need. It was, this combination of, physical, psychological, practical, creative approach to the voice, and for the first time it seemed like it was dealing with the whole person, and not just the larynx and I absolutely love that approach.  And that's where the core of my teaching has been ever since. I've embellished and added onto it since then, but Alfred Wolfsohn, who was the inspiration for Paul Newham's work, he also, inspired Roy Hart to create Roy Hart theater, I'll get more into all that later, I don't want to ramble on too much about that right now, but Alfred Wolfsohn, he said  “the voice is the muscle of the soul”  Alfred Wolfsohn and that is just so lovely and it feels so true to me. When [00:08:00] we feel repressed in our voice. When, when our vocal apparatus feels either physically limited or metaphorically, like we can't speak up, it's crushing. If you've ever had that experience, it is like having you know, somatically, I've felt like my chest has been pressed on. Or I've felt like I had some big lump in my throat. There's a reason that that's a thing that people say, I feel like there's like a big lump in your throat.  I've had students talk about feeling like they have burning colds in their throat, or like they've swallowed something that they can't swallow and this is all this kind of physical, manifestation of feeling like your voice isn't free.  So that's what we are here to do.  That's what this podcast is going to be about [00:09:00] it's about freeing the voice on all those levels, from the deep, psychological place, as much as we can do in a podcast I mean, I just want to help to give you some tools to think about your voice, maybe a little bit differently, and also practical things like understanding how important it is to be physically engaged, to be physically warmed up before you sing or do a voiceover session or go on stage. You have to be physically warmed up and I'm going show you how to do all that as well. But for this week, just to get us started, I want you to pull out a journal and answer these five questions.  Journal Prompts Okay, here we go. I'll put a link to this in the show notes. Number one. How do you feel about speaking up or singing in public? Number two. How easy is it for you to color outside of the lines when you use your voice? By that I mean to be creative, experiment, make up funny voices improvise those kinds of things. So, number two, how easy is it for you to color outside of the lines when you use your voice? Number three. How does your voice feel after extended use? So giving a big presentation, reading an audio book, a video game session, teaching all day.How does your voice feel after that? That's number three.  Number four. If you could do anything with your voice, what would it be? Number five. What do you think is stopping you from doing that right now?  Okay, brilliant. Now I'll put those questions, like I said, in the show notes, which you can also [00:11:00] find at www.yourfreevoice.com/podcast. And I'll add a couple of links in there for the book and the IAVMT. Which is the International Association for Voice Movement Therapy as well. Next episode, we're going jump straight into warmups, how to create a great warmup for yourself. So there'll be lots more, dancing, moving, and stretching and less of me going blah, blah, blah. So that's what next episode is gonna be like, and I hope to see you there. Okay. Bye.

"I am playing with the edges here...the edges of language, and the edges of how we can learn to fully express what we need to express..." Episode 4 of the Called to be Bad Podcast In this episode I discuss the relationship between Christianity and cussing/swearing/'bad" words (whatever you would like to call them) with guest Allan Rudy-Froese. Allan teaches preaching, biblical storytelling, and performance theory. He is working on a book about swearing and faith. Can you be a "good" Christian and still swear like a sailor? What are the origins of cuss words? What is the line between expressing yourself and offensive language? References: Information on Kristin Linklater: https://www.linklatervoice.com/https://www.thelinklatercenter.com/Follow us for more ✨bad✨ content: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calledtobebad_podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calledtobebadWebsite: https://calledtobebad.buzzsprout.com/Sponsor of this episode: https://www.arthumorsoul.com/Want to become part of the ✨baddie✨ community?

Frankie Armstrong has sung professionally in the folk scene and the women's and the peace movements since the 1960s. She pioneered community voice workshops in 1975. She continued her previous trade as a trainer in social and youth work alongside the voice workshops for a decade, before focusing exclusively on the voice workshops and singing. Frankie has made 12 solo albums, as well as featuring on numerous shared and themed recordings. She has written an autobiography (As Far As the Eye Can Sing), co-edited Well Tuned Women (on women and voice) with Jenny Pearson, and also contributed chapters to 11 other books. Her most recent book (with Janet Rogers) is Acting and Singing with Archetypes. She is the Founder and President of the Natural Voice Network, which grew out of her voice teaching and training work. Frankie is also an honorary member of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA) of North America and was awarded the Gold Badge in 2018 by the English Folk Dance and Song Society. She is also a Patron of Musicians for Peace and Disarmament (MPD). The development of her voice and singing workshops was informed by her passion for the traditional styles of singing in the British Isles and from around the world, along with her involvement in the ‘natural voice' developments in the theatre world (particularly the work of Cicely Berry and Kristin Linklater). In London, Frankie is a guest teacher at the Central School of Speech and Drama (both on the drama therapy course and the Voice MA), and, for 23 years, regularly taught at the National Theatre Studio. She has been a tutor at International Voice Conferences in the UK, Australia and North America. For over 30 years, she has taken ‘apprentices' and run training groups (often with Darien Pritchard) to pass on her approach and style of voice work. Over the years she has run workshops with almost every kind of group – for children of all ages and abilities, professional theatre companies, community and women's groups, people with disabilities, drama students, therapists, psychiatric patients, folk song students and the elderly. Whatever the specific focus of her workshops, she believes in creating a supportive, generous atmosphere where people do not feel judged or under pressure to get things “right”. The intention is to help people find their own unique voice that generates energy, confidence and a sense of life fullness. Having been involved with folk and political songs since the 1950s, she's always been fascinated by the way that voice can enhance the individual's sense of well-being and also develop a sense of community. It can link us to the thread of song that comes down to us from our ancestors. Hence, she has always been interested in exploring voice and song in its historical, cultural, political and spiritual dimensions. She also sees the voice as a tool to aid our self-expression, creativity and confidence. And, for more than three decades, she has focused particularly on the body-voice connection, having worked and trained with a variety of bodywork and movement teachers. We end the interview with an interactive voice and movement exercise you can do at home with a surprise guest!
