Voice Acting, Day #2 “Feel your voice. Do not hear it.” https://t.co/UVSdTet0cn
This hears sound for the first time in her life. She says, “I feel it.” Hearing is “feeling” sound. https://t.co/HR3ryVrUMW
When you speak, there is something you are saying. Feeling your voice is hearing the truth of what you are saying. Just for a sec, cut out listening to your voice, just completely, to find the truth of what you are saying.
There’s neuroscience to this. In the visual cortex, there’s the ventral stream and the dorsal stream. One builds perception—the other guides action. Micromanaging the stream guiding action with the stream building conscious perception is a recipe for broken, inelegant acting.
All you need to do—all you ever need to do, really, with your conscious volition—is guide your perception and let perception act on its own. For sports, for singing, for meditating or emotionally integrating—anytime you’re planning on using a full brain. https://t.co/QyiJF0XCU1
Speaking without connection to the place that inspired you to speak is like running an engine without fuel. You shove and push your car down the road, as it lurches forward, and wonder where is the ease of it purring gently across the street.
The insight goes both ways. Ignore the sounds someone is making—and listen the truth from which they are speaking. I guarantee you it makes the world a much more interesting, unarguable, joyously-giving-of-itself place to be in https://t.co/IFZqBA42qI

It’s not about the performance. It’s about the truth . . that you’re trying to communicate regardless. https://t.co/fmI4ShzZ5T
It’s not about the fact that you’re LARPing. It’s about the fact that even when you are LARPing, you are expressing yourself, in the most innocently sincere, tender way possible, and that is so inescapable and so inspiring It is happening in every second of your life.
