1. Why are the breathing exercises you have chosen important for vocal development or particularly for you?

The exercises I chose were developing the in-breath and the diamond points. Both of these exercises are important for me, as I need to improve my projection and breath control and these exercises can help.

2. How can you use pitch, pause, pace and/or inflection to convey a particular emotion?

To convey anger you can use a higher pitch and vary the pace. Also adding pauses and stressing particular words can emphasise anger.

Neck Rolls

Spinal Peel

1. Why are the exercises I chose important for vocal development?
Neck rolls help to release tension in the neck. This is important because having tension in your neck can have a negative impact on your voice production.
Spinal peels help to relax and stretch your spine, which helps in improving your posture. Having a good posture is very important in voice as it helps you to breathe properly.

2. One thing that I personally would like to work on for my vocal development.
I would really like to improve my projection, as this will be very important in theatre for my voice to be heard by a whole audience. There are breathing exercises that can help to achieve this, which we will be looking at in class later on.
