Your expressive body, including vocal capacity, is an instrument that can be conditioned just like a muscle by repetition (rehearsal) and training, with a focus on creating a warm, relaxed and engaging public persona that reads as trustworthy and believable. Miss Larson’s work utilizes mindful rehearsal and repetition. Recent science has demonstrated what actors and athletes have know for ages: practice makes perfect. |
“Every time you have a thought, the biochemical/electromagnetic resistance along the pathway carrying that thought is reduced. It is like trying to clear a path through a forest. The first time is a struggle because you have to fight your way through the undergrowth. The second time you travel that way will be much easier because of the clearing you did on your first journey. The more times you travel that path, the less resistance there will be, until, after many repetitions, you have a wide, smooth track which requires little or no clearing. A similar function occurs in your brain: the more you repeat patterns or maps of thought, the less resistance there is to them. Therefore, and of greater significance, repetition in itself increases the probability of repetition. In other words, the more times a ‘mental event’ happens, the more likely it is to happen again.” —Tony Buzan |
