Comments on the Reading, "The Free & Placed Voice" pg. 67 - 87

Hi guys!
For the mid-term you need to understand why vocal placement is important to acting work, specifically why is forward placement important?
Please comment by next Tuesday, Oct. 4, on anything else you found interesting / confusing in Rodenburg's chapter on "The Free & Place Voice."
Thx!

Comments on the Reading, "The Breath" pg. 38 - 66

Hey guys!
Please post any questions / concerns / observations from the reading below. For the mid-term, you are required to know all about breath support, and the importance of being aware of breath patterns. In addition, you are required to know classroom terms such as: destructuring (tremors); Catherine Fitzmaurice; fluffy sound; feeling breath; alpha state; and the names of the different tremoring poses and how you do them (thus far, we've learned - the twist, legs in the air, happy baby, half plough, dying cockroach, legs wide & happy whore).
thx!
