28: Real Talking Tips - Word Emphasis - Arrow that Up!

Real Talking Tips Episode 28 is the second in the min-series of 11 ways to add Word Emphasis to speech, presentations, and voiceover recordings. This time, we’ll practice two types of upward inflection: arrowing a phrase up and adding an up-and-down-caret (^) to a word. Arrowing up sets up a statement for the response that follows. An Upward Caret slows down an individual word and provides additional musicality and focus to that key word within a sentence. As before, we’ll use the Word Emphasis chart found on Episode 27 of my ElaineClarkVO.com/Podcast page, discussed in my books, There’s Money Where Your Mouth Is and Voice-Overs for Podcasting, and explored further in the video and interactive practice-record-and-listen areas of my app, Adding Melody To Your Voice. Now, I'll show you additional ways to achieve those speech variations using a variety of movements and gestures.
