Episode 22 - Feedback Whether it makes you excited, anxious, pleased or depressed, feedback is a necessary thing. How will you ever improve without feedback...but the question is, what is the 'quality' of the feedback? Is it generous? Constructive? Justified? Useful? Objective or subjective? We discuss feedback in many of its forms & we'd love to hear what you think...

Practise... What's the deal with practise? Eh? What should you practise & how should you practise it? It's not just mindless repetition & it's also not just doing an exercise... This is our longest episode yet...which is not going to become a habit, but we were pretty enthusiastic about practise (& going off on tangents a little, as we are wont to do!)

Coaching or Teaching? What's the difference between coaching and teaching? We do both as voice practitioners, which means that we have to be responsive to the needs of the person/people we're working with. When is it a 'teachable moment' and when is it a moment for 'coaching'? Leon & Aundrea; high on Marshmallow-sugary-goodness charge through & ramble around this pedagogical subject.

Should Actors Do Accents? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...today we discuss what goes into an accent, what an accent means, why it's important to do accents accurately, but also not just as an afterthought, but as a long-term, embedded part of your characterisation. Apologies for the sound levels, we had to record remotely, so Aundrea's a little but quiet this week.

Posture and Alignment Posture & Alignment is integral to all voice work, but why? What's the big deal? It's not just lying on the floor & breathing, let's be clear about that...but sometimes that's a nice place to start. Becoming aware of your vocal & physical habit leads to the ability to begin to change that behaviour. Be an agent of your own change...
