In the last video, you heard about practicing at double and triple speed. Today, the suggestion is to go overboard with your volume. 

When you're talking about somebody in a scene who's yelling and screaming, go as loud as you can. 

If a character is subdued, drop your volume almost to a whisper. 

Why would you do this, because you're not going to speak that way in front of an audience?

What you want to do is stretch your vocal muscles. My experience has been most people believe when they pantomime yelling, they’re nowhere near as loud as they think they are.

When I show them on video, they say, "Oh yeah, I guess I wasn't very loud." 

You want realistic recreation, so if somebody is yelling in the scene, go LOUD! If they're subdued, depressed, or down, lower your voice level to a low volume. 

By going overboard, you're stretching your comfort zone. When you’re speaking to an audience or camera,  you’ll steak at a more natural volume, but, you’ll be more varied than you used to be. Stretch those muscles!

In the next video, you're going to pick up another rehearsal idea to help your story sound more realistic and true.
