Elements of Voice Practice

Introduction

In this module, you have explored the elements of expression. For this assignment, you will specifically focus on the elements of voice to deliver short lines that may be found in a commercial, which will benefit you in your upcoming Arts Experience. You will select one of the two sample scripts below and record yourself saying the lines using vocal elements.

Read the scripts below and choose ONE that you would like to record. Remember, these are commercial scripts, so you will be selling something. You do not have to memorize the lines for the recording!

Sample Script 1

"Have the best homestyle cooking at the Farmhouse Cafe! We have all your favorite foods, including mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and even fruit cobbler. Come visit us for your next meal, where home and happiness meet!"

Sample Script 2

"Experience a tropical getaway with Paradise Hotels. Luxurious rooms, countless amenities, and various locations near stunning beaches. Book now at paradisehotels.com and make lasting memories. Paradise Hotels, where paradise is just a click away!"

Assignment

Use one of the sample scripts above to practice vocal elements. Note: For the recording, speak clearly and loudly enough for the viewer to understand your words.

You will create a recording by completing the following steps:

1. Choose one of the sample scripts from above.

2. Practice using vocal elements while reading the script. If needed, review the 12.4 Elements of Voice page.

3. Use the recording features on Canvas or record using your device. The recording can be an audio OR video recording. Note: You will read through the script twice without stopping your recording. You will only submit one recording with both readings.

4. You will read through your script twice for the recording:

1. 1st Read- Read your script through with NO elements of voice. It should sound uninteresting to the viewer.

2. 2nd Read-

1. Choose one or more elements to include: volume, tempo, pitch, emphasis, and tone. State in the video which element(s) you are using. Remember, this is a commercial, and you are trying to sell something!

2. Read your script again, adding in elements of voice. Be sure to exaggerate your chosen element so that it is obvious which one you are doing.

5. Submit your recording.
