Why are the breathing exercises you have chosen important for vocal development, or particularly for you?
The exercises I chose were the out breath exercise in Alexander position and the silent pant exercise.
The silent pant exercise is really good for my vocal development as it opens up your throat and diaphragm which will help me to project my voice from my diaphragm and not my chest.
How can you use pitch, pause, pace or inflection to convey a particular emotion?
Pitch, pause, pace and inflection all create the tone of someone's voice.
For different emotions you use different tones, for example if you are angrily screaming you will use more high pitch tones and a faster pace, and if you are conveying a sad emotion, for example grief, you would use more pauses and a slower pace and generally a more monotone way of talking. Pitch, pause, pace and inflection are key in order to convey emotions as they can all be used in different ways. You can generally always tell when a person is angry and happy by the tone and pace of their voice.
