Hi Chris, nice to meet, I love your channel, I wanna know if you have some kind of work, or tesis about Laban, please tell me if Can I talk with you about this... is really important to me. Thank you so much
I never thought of using Laban for voice disciplines. I love this! And it's going to be even more important now, amidst all the AI voices, because yes: our voices are embodied and that gives them power and authenticity.
This is brilliant. So helpful. Thanks, as ever, Chris for taking the time to share your awe-inspiring skills. And like it or not, you ARE a teacher - a fantastic one!
@@NaturallyRPVoiceover I think this video is great and want others to watch it! However, may I beg to differ? I think you start with Press, then glide, wring, dab, punch float, flick... Dab and flick are quite similar, I felt it was dab first, because it appears more direct and targeted than at the end that seemed more physically and vocally indirect. Just putting it here just in case things got mixed up, as it might confuse viewers. I don't intend any rudeness. Thanks.
Direct is going straight to a point, while indirect is the opposite, operating in an arch or going in a number of different directions before reaching its end point. From a vocal point of view, 'direct' could be perceived as a consistent tone/pitch/pace throughout a sentence, with no deviation compared to an 'indirect' phrasing where the tone/pitch/pace varies considerably up to the end of the thought or phrase.
I would suggest thinking in terms of mass, rather than weight which I have found can be misleading. Imagine your limbs have the mass of lead, or a black hole, and let the voice come from there.
Have you used Laban in your voiceover work - or an equivalent?

yes, I try ... I´m a singer, and I work with the knowledge of the body in a choir
@NaturallyRPVoiceover tell if you have a mail adress , because I wanna talk with you about your experience with Laban Technic with the voice...
since I discovered the Laban Efforts I use them consistently in roleplaying games, as a DM but more importantly when creating my character

Wonderful video, perfectly put together!
Now I can use my Laban training into my voice as well. Your examples in the end just hit the spot!
Great information! Love your example! Thank you!
My pleasure Santiago - thanks!
Thank you! This is super helpful as I prepare for an upcoming table read. I'll look into your course :)
"...classically trained you know!"
Actual laugh out loud :)
0:15 Me, a synesthete: Yeah that makes sense
From a video production perspective I think it would be best to include some description of which voices are you using at the end
Nevertheless great material!
I do wish there was an edit where i can tell which laban technique was used during the war monologue
punching/gliding/wringing/dabbing/punching/floating/dabbing

Totally correct - sorry earlier comment was in a rush so thanks for clarifying!
@@NaturallyRPVoiceover Yup, I can hear it and see it in your body movement. Nicely done!
Could you explain in more detail, what direct and indirect means please?
Direct is going straight to a point, while indirect is the opposite, operating in an arch or going in a number of different directions before reaching its end point. From a vocal point of view, 'direct' could be perceived as a consistent tone/pitch/pace throughout a sentence, with no deviation compared to an 'indirect' phrasing where the tone/pitch/pace varies considerably up to the end of the thought or phrase.
@@NaturallyRPVoiceover Oh wow, thank you very much! This clarifies my issue in understanding completely :-)
Amazing video!!! I’m having a bit of trouble with weight, how can I tell if I’m being strong or if I’m being light?
Light floats/is suspended by the air around it. Weight pushes through it - if that helps?
I would suggest thinking in terms of mass, rather than weight which I have found can be misleading. Imagine your limbs have the mass of lead, or a black hole, and let the voice come from there.
Do you teach?
I'm afraid not!
@@NaturallyRPVoiceoverWill you? If the price is right?
