Reply To: Let’s Talk Voice!

[Wanda Ovahear]

My experience has to do with stage dialects. In learning those we talk about a dialect’s “lilt”, its particular musicality to the ear. I don’t know about those advice videos but my advice is to work on inflection and cadence more than tone. Some of the imagery shared, e.g. soft and sweet, indicates those things. In my head Wanda’s voice combines the lilt, inflection, and cadence of the woman I believe her to be based on women I’ve observed. I think those things bring verisimilitude to your womanly voice.
