amazing toolbox this 255 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,230 you have an amazing toolbox this instrument is incredible 256 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:26,240 instrument is incredible 257 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,990 instrument is incredible and yet this is a toolbox that very few 258 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:28,000 and yet this is a toolbox that very few 259 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,510 and yet this is a toolbox that very few people have ever opened 260 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:29,520 people have ever opened 261 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,870 people have ever opened i'd like to have a little rummage in 262 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:30,880 i'd like to have a little rummage in 263 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,469 i'd like to have a little rummage in there with you now and just pull a few 264 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:32,479 there with you now and just pull a few 265 00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:33,990 there with you now and just pull a few tools out that you might like to take 266 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:34,000 tools out that you might like to take 267 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,270 tools out that you might like to take away and play with 268 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:35,280 away and play with 269 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,629 away and play with which will increase the power of your 270 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:36,639 which will increase the power of your 271 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,909 which will increase the power of your speaking register for example 272 00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:39,919 speaking register for example 273 00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:42,310 speaking register for example now falsetto register may not be very 274 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:42,320 now falsetto register may not be very 275 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,230 now falsetto register may not be very useful most of the time 276 00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:44,240 useful most of the time 277 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,310 useful most of the time but there's a register in between i'm 278 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:46,320 but there's a register in between i'm 279 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,430 but there's a register in between i'm not going to get very technical about 280 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:47,440 not going to get very technical about 281 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,550 not going to get very technical about this for any of you who are voice 282 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:48,560 this for any of you who are voice 283 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,350 this for any of you who are voice coaches 284 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:49,360 coaches 285 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,510 coaches you can locate your voice however so if 286 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:51,520 you can locate your voice however so if 287 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,350 you can locate your voice however so if i talk up here in my nose you can hear 288 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:53,360

if i go down here in my 291 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,070 the difference if i go down here in my throat which is where 292 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:56,080 throat which is where 293 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,950 throat which is where most of us speak from most of the time 294 00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:58,960 most of us speak from most of the time 295 00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,430 most of us speak from most of the time but 296 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:59,440 but 297 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,590 but if you want weight you need to go down 298 00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:01,600 if you want weight you need to go down 299 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,950 if you want weight you need to go down here to the chest 300 00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:02,960 here to the chest 301 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,270 here to the chest you hear the difference we vote for 302 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:05,280 you hear the difference we vote for 303 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,390 you hear the difference we vote for politicians 304 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:06,400 politicians 305 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,350 politicians with lower voices it's true because we 306 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:09,360 with lower voices it's true because we 307 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,070 with lower voices it's true because we associate 308 00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:10,080 associate 309 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,469 associate depth with power and with

prozadie this is the sing-song the meta language 340 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:43,440 sing-song the meta language 341 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,510 sing-song the meta language that we use in order to impart meaning 342 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:45,520 that we use in order to impart meaning 343 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,029 that we use in order to impart meaning it's root one for meaning 344 00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:47,039 it's root one for meaning 345 00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:49,510 it's root one for meaning in conversation people who speak all on 346 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:49,520 in conversation people who speak all on 347 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,550 in conversation people who speak all on one note 348 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:50,560 one note 349 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,790 one note are really quite hard to listen to if 350 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:52,800 are really quite hard to listen to if 351 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,029 are really quite hard to listen to if they don't have any prosody at all 352 00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:55,039 they don't have any prosody at all 353 00:05:55,039 --> 00:05:57,350 they don't have any prosody at all that's where the word monotonic comes 354 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:57,360 that's where the word monotonic comes 355 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,469 that's where the word monotonic comes from or monotonous 356 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:58,479 from or monotonous 357 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:01,909 from or monotonous monotone also we have repetitive 358 00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:01,919 monotone also we have repetitive 359 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:03,590 monotone also we have repetitive president now coming in 360 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:03,600 president now coming in 361 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,270 president now coming in where every sentence ends as if it were 362 00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:05,280 where every sentence ends as if it were 363 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,110 where every sentence ends as if it were a question when it's actually not a 364 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:07,120 a question when it's actually not a 365 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,029 a question when it's actually not a question it's a statement 366 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:11,039 367 00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:13,029 and if you repeat that one over and over 368 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:13,039 and if you repeat that one over and over 369 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,790 and if you repeat that one over and over it's actually restricting your ability 370 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:14,800 it's actually restricting your ability 371 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,550 it's actually restricting your ability to communicate through prosidy which i 372 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:16,560 to communicate through prosidy which i 373 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,070 to communicate through prosidy which i think is a shame 374 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:18,080 think is a shame 375 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,350 think is a shame so let's try and break that habit 376 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:21,360 so let's try and break that habit 377 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,029 so let's try and break that habit pace i can get very very excited by 378 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:23,039 pace i can get very very excited by 379 00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:24,469 pace i can get very very excited by saying something really really quickly 380 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:24,479 saying something really really quickly 381 00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:28,870 saying something really really quickly or i can slow right down to emphasize 382 00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:28,880 or i can slow right down to emphasize 383
