Thread Name: Advice Req: projecting your voice, how??
Subject: RE: Advice Req: projecting your voice, how??
One interesting thing is that in the theatre one learns that projection is mostly about articulation. If you articulate your consonants very strongly, you can whisper and be heard at a great distance. That is the "secret" to projection in the theatre. However, I have discovered in taking singing lessons that you need to be very careful not to articulate your consonants because it breaks the flow of the vowels, upon which the singing voice works.

Interesting dilemma for a theatre trained person -- took me awhile to get the hang of it.
