I JUST SAW "JULIE AND JULIA" AND HEARING MERYL STREEP SPEAK THE WAY JULIA DID BROUGHT A SMILE.
IT ALSO BRINGS ME TO A TEACHING POINT.
JULIA CHILD HAD GREAT EXPRESSION. HER VOICE WAS AIR-INFUSED.
GUESS WHAT? THERE IS A JULIA CHILD IN YOU.
LAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND FACE THE CEILING.
YAWN. YAWN MORE.
NOW , C'MON, YAWN AS IF THERE IS NOE TOMORROW.
NOW SAY A FEW WORDS WHILE YOU ARE YAWNING. NOW SAY THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SPEECH WHILE YOU ARE YAWNING AND STRETCHING.
SPEAKING WHILE YAWNING INFUSES YOUR WORDS WITH SUCH SYLLABLE- STRETCHING AIR, THAT YOUR WORDS BOUNCE, FLOAT, SORE. YOU BEGIN TO USE NOTES THAT YOU MIGHT NEVER CONSCIOUSLY USE.
TRY IT.
AND AS JULIA WOULD SAY: BON APERITIF!
