18 - Play With Your Voice

When you are able to, surprise yourself with what you can do with your voice.

For example, you don’t just say “no” as a single note and syllable, it could be “Noooo”.

Imagine for example that your other half is teasing you for taking a newly baked bun from the cooling tray. They know you have taken it, and you know they know, and they’re not bothered, and they’re joking as they caught you out: “Have you taken a bun?!” they ask with a smile on their face. “Nooooo” you reply, with a smile on your face and with a cake in your hand halfway to your mouth!

The turn on a word that is more than intonation, that helps make it natural and says more than the letters can by themselves.

“Y’know it’s Donald Trump’s last day as president? Weeeelllll, his wife Melania has recorded a video message saying…. (pause for effect) the country should pull together.”
