Ed, well, I'm delighted that you've joined the drama department. Now, part of my job is to support you during your probationary year. So let's ensure that you're clear about what you'll be doing in the first voice coaching workshop you run next week. 00:01:30,380 Okay. 00:01:31,720 I'll be observing you working with the students as you show them how to project their voices on stage. I'll be evaluating how you cope with the practical activities as well as the theory. And if all goes well, you'll then have finished the final stage of your voice coach diploma. 00:01:49,840 That'd be great, Fiona. Anyway, I thought through the workshop, and I've done a plan to highlight the key areas I intend to cover. 00:01:58,100 Good. Let's look at your plan. 00:02:01,020 Okay, so let's see. I'm glad you thought about seating patterns. You say you want to begin with the students sitting in star-shaped patterns. That's fine. There are various seating patterns you can use at this stage. I like trainees sitting cross-legged in a circle. Other people like students in rows. But actually, all these can be represented diagrammatically, which would be clearer than going into lots of detailed explanations like you've done here. 00:02:32,020 Oh, okay. But it doesn't matter which one I use at the beginning of a workshop. 00:02:36,720 It's whatever you feel comfortable with. 00:02:39,140 Fine. So in the initial phase, I explain the objectives of the session. 00:02:44,280 Okay. Then in the first activity, you say they should quickly rise, walk briskly around the room, weaving in and out to avoid each other. 00:02:55,200 Yes, I think it's important that they don't get in each other's way and that they learn to move within a confined space, aware of other people, but primarily concentrating on their own thoughts. 00:03:06,860 Absolutely. But in your plan, you've omitted to mention that in the second activity, you will get the students to pair off. So you need to rethink that section and include reasons why it's essential for them to listen to each other talking. It doesn't matter what they actually say. And at the same time, get them to think about their posture because that governs their lung capacity and most crucially, their breathing. 00:03:32,560 Right. Will do. 00:03:34,000 Okay. Of course, a common issue in the UK is that we rehearse in small rooms, then transfer to a larger stage. So bearing in mind that voice projection is not shouting, later in the course, you'll need to work in a much bigger space. 00:03:50,440 Does it have to be an enclosed space? I, I suppose it does because ultimately they're going to work in a theater. 00:03:57,300 Ideally, an enclosed space, but there's no reason why you couldn't go somewhere outdoors. Although I'd avoid a very public space like a park. 00:04:07,480 Right. Thanks. 00:04:09,480 Now, your next activity on how to convey emotion on stage is fine, but your selection of texts for the students to experience emotional depth leaves a little to be desired. It's not enough to include a few extracts that you find enjoyable. You need to consider the different kind of emotion that each extract should present, from sorrow through to ecstasy. And classical stuff is all well and good, but include many more contemporary sources. 00:04:40,360 I understand. 00:04:46,400 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:13,180 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:20,960 Now, out of the twenty books you list, some are more useful than others, and I think you should flag up the disadvantages so that people don't waste money buying them. Take Vocal Instruction. I know I recommended it for you to read for its historical perspective, but bear in mind it was written thirty years ago, and it shows. 00:05:42,240 Yeah. Agreed. I thought Improve Your Accent was interesting, but it's very narrow in its outlook, don't you think? 00:05:50,900 Well, I'm not sure it's interesting. And another one you need to warn people about is The Actor's Handbook. It's an expensive book, very useful, but according to the publishers, they're going to reissue it with new color photos, and at the moment it's out of print. There aren't any secondhand copies out there, so tell them not to waste time looking for it. 00:06:13,440 Oh, right. I didn't know that. 00:06:16,780 There's one more that I want to mention, and that's Confident Voice Delivery. It exaggerates its claims on how to be successful to such an extent that I think it is positively misleading. But maybe I'm biased. 00:06:31,080 Okay. I'll make a note of that. Thanks. So the others... 00:06:39,670 That is the end of part three. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to Part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Ed is giving the voice coaching workshop in order to get 21 Ed is giving the voice coaching workshop in order to get - a new job - a qualification - a promotion **答案**：a qualification 原文定位：I'll be evaluating how you cope with the practical activities as well as the theory.
