3. Review Worksheet 1 April 21 1. Zoom meeting 2. Voice is very important in acting.
Pitch
– speaking in a high, low or natural voice.
Pace –
the speed at which someone speaks, eg the speed of response in an
argument.
Enunciation
- is the act of pronouncing
word clearly.
Pause
– a dramatic pause at a crucial moment could merit a comment.
Tone –
this suggests your mood and your intention towards the listener, eg happy
or sad.
Volume
– you might be commenting on audibility but you’re more likely to be
discussing the effect of a loud, powerful voice or a quiet, nervous or sad
voice.
Accent
– you may be talking about how someone has achieved a convincing accent or
how the choice of accent enhanced their characterisation.
Emphasis
– the pressure on individual words that makes them stand out. Emphasis or
stress for a particular effect is significant and can change the meaning
of a sentence as well as the feeling behind it.
Intonation
– the rise and fall of the voice. There’s a clear movement up at the end
of a sentence when we ask questions for example. Intonation also helps us
to say what we mean.
