Technical Terms: Voice

1. Sound and Silence

In my scene there isn't really any silences or pauses. As there is a bomb about to go off Callum is very anxious to get Sephy out, and Sephy doesn't know what is going on and is quite scared so they don't have time to pause. They are constantly shouting to each other and hurting about.

2. Pitch

When Sephy says "Callum where did you spring from?" her voice gets higher as the sentence goes on, because she excited to see him but is also asking a question.

3. Pace

The pace is very fast a lot of head turning as one of us speaks then the other. But when Im doing direct address towards the audience at the beginning my pace isn't as fast, however it isn't really slow, there still aren't any breaks or pauses.

4. Intonation

When questions are made the pitch goes up. For example Sephy says "whats going on?" a lot, so her voce goes higher as she's asking a question but is also shouting.

5. Volume

The voice is most loud when Callum is arguing at Sephy shouting "Don't argue. Out! Come on!"or when Sephy shouts at Callum "Callum, enough!"

The voice is most soft when Sephy at the beginning is talking to the audience and says " I sipped my orange juice, grateful for the time alone", but there is still some annoyance in her voice.

6. Tone Colour

The quality of the voice is mainly cold and abrupt, and aggressive and hot. This is because they are both shouting at each other and Callum doesn't have much patience with Sephy as he wants to get her out of there quickly. An example of this is  when Callum says " never mind you ruddy drink. You have to leave NOW."

7. Emphasis

Callum uses emphasis on the word "now" when he says "You have to leave NOW." He does this because he wants to make clear that they have to leave immediately.

Another example is when Sephy shouts " Callum, enough!" and emphasises the word "enough!" because she wants to make clear that she's annoyed and wants him to stop.
