Golden Nuggets 4th April - Pitch, Pace & Power in Speaking Voice

04/04/22 • 25 min

Vocal warmups are an essential tool for singers, but do you even think about warming up your SPEAKING voice?
You use your speaking voice far more than you use your singing voice, so it makes sense to warm that up first.
In this week's Golden Nuggets Dr Gillyanne Kayes and Jeremy Fisher share excerpts from two of their best resources for speaking voice exercises and warmups: "Pitch, Pace & Power", and "the 1 Minute Voice Warmup App".
There are excerpts from Webinar 11, "Pitch, Pace & Power", now on the Learning Lounge.
And we talk about changing your pace, variety in your voice to make it more interesting, and Daleks.
This week, Inspiration of the Week is all about the impact you've already made. Plus there's a challenge for you that some might find a little scary!
The 1 Minute Voice Warmup App, produced with SpeechTools and an NHS specialist speech & language therapist, is aimed at helping people find and keep a healthy voice. It's particularly relevant now in this age of Covid and Long Covid, was featured in several magazines including the UK's leading computer magazine ComputerActive as the only paid health app to use in the recommendations of the week.
The app is available on GooglePlay (a #1 app) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.speechtools.warmup&hl=en_GB
and on Apple Appstore (a #3 app)
