Your Voice, Your Body, Your Stage
🎯 Today's mission briefing
We are learning to use our voice, our body and simple staging to rehearse a short piece and perform it for an audience.
You'll know you've got it when:
- I can change my voice on purpose — louder or softer, faster or slower, higher or lower — to suit a character or moment
- I can use my face and body to show a feeling or character without saying a word
- I can rehearse a piece at least three times to make it better, then perform it facing my audience with a still start and a still finish
You're already a performer
Connects to what your guest already knows and makes them curious. Activating prior knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of new learning.
Have you ever told someone about a spider you saw — and made your eyes huge, spread your arms out wide, and whispered the scary bit? Congratulations: that was a performance. You changed your VOICE for the whisper, used your BODY for the hugeness, and made sure your audience could see you. Performers on real stages use exactly the same three tools — they've just practised them until the tools do exactly what they want. Today you get the toolbox.
