“I have spent too long training myself to speak with an American accent, it's ingrained. I spend 16 hours a day on set speaking with an American accent. Now, when I try to speak with an Aussie accent, I just sound like a caricature of myself.” TryingLongSpeakSoundHoursTrainingAccentsCaricaturesAussies Author:Poppy Montgomery
“I want here to make three suggestions: first, that the doubts the ordinary man feels about religion are justified, and need not be stifled or concealed; second, that there is no ground for the view that Christianity is the only alternative to communism, or that there can be no sound character training that is not based on religion; and, third, I want to make some practical suggestions to the parents who are not believers, on what they should tell the children about God, and what sort of moral training they should give them.” MenWantNeedsGivingFeelsShouldFirstsChildrenCharacterThreeParentSoundViewsMoralChristianityDoubtAtheismTrainingOrdinaryThirdsPositive AtheismBelieverPracticalsCommunismAlternativesSuggestionsJustifiedConcealedOrdinary Man Author:Margaret E.

“Improv is more than just spitting out a bunch of funny stuff that's unrelated to the material. You have to stay in character, you have to react and respond as the character you're trying to play. You have to service the story, and I think improv training has helped with my listening, responding, and my audition technique. It's sounds so silly, but it's true. Because not only do you improvise during the audition, but once you get the part, they'll say, "Throw away everything. Just improv this scene. Do whatever you want." Someone could panic if they're not used to doing something like that.” IfsThinkingWantTryingPlayCharacterStoriesUsedStuffSoundMaterialsListeningSceneTrainingTechniqueSillyBunchPanicAuditionsRespondingDo Whatever You WantFunny Stuff Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
“There are things about how a note sounds on a violin that are really analogous to the human voice - you have a frequency and the air, and then you have a timbre which really is overtones - and making those things work together is one thing. The other thing is mechanical: If you can use your hands and arms to create sound on a fiddle, then learning to sing with it is like adding a third body part. And it's all training.” IfsHumansUseBodyHandsTogetherSoundVoiceOne ThingAirArmsTrainingThirdsNotesWorking TogetherFrequencyViolinFiddleHuman VoiceTimbre Author:Bruce Molsky
“As an athlete, I'd average four hours a day. It doesn't sound like a lot when some people say they're training for 10 hours, but theirs includes lunch, massage and breaks. My four hours was packed with work.” PeopleSoundHoursBreakFourTrainingAverageAthleteLunchMassage Author:Michael Johnson
