BIEBIE’S MONTH OF VALENTINE LOVE
Hello
all my weblog fans and supporters. A quick Thank You to all who take
the time and leave sound comments; I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! Your
comments are make my website/blog so much better.
Many
of you would like to know if the information I provide on this site is
true??? The answer is YES, EVERYTHING I write on here is 100% true,
tried and tested resulting in guaranteed results from clients. I believe
as teachers/tutors we should evolve with the times and stay on top of
our craft so we can share our knowledge.
Another question I have received: how do I advertise www.biebie.co.za.
I have recently finished a short course in Internet Marketing from UCT
(University of Cape Town in South Africa) through Getsmarter: www.getsmarter.co.za;
therefore, I have learnt various ways of marketing & advertising
my website on the internet. I also make use of social media quite a bit
and will put my website link on Facebook, Twitter, My Space, Google,
LinkedIn just to name a few. Some of my website/blog
followers/supporters have then gone on to add my link to their social
media accounts, as well as, email their friends/colleagues (thank you). I
use Wordpress which is fantastic, because I can update my website/blog
whenever I want to. Wordpress also provides their own free templates,
themes and designs. Next to Wordpress would be Yola, which provides the
same tools as Wordpress.
On
another note: I really don’t mind if you want to use some of the
content I publish and post it to your websites/blogs and social media
applications, as long as you reference me. I am learning how to add
back-links, so when i have mastered that i will let you all know.
RIGHT BACK TO Biebie’s month…
Remember the 6 week Short Voice Course I developed for the Corporates, well it went so well i was asked to develop a Short Personal Development Course (30min a week for 4 weeks) so as to compliment the Voice Course. This went fabulous.
Here are the topics we covered:
Week 1: Introduction: Summary of the voice + telephone tips (why we doing this)
Tense/Release exercise (negatives & positives)
Characterization: telephone skills
Understanding what is confidence
Coupling of characterization and negatives = voice reflection
Week 3: Self Awareness II: Circle of attention
Communication II
Week 4: Vocal Confidence: Assessment
Maintenance program
A student of mine; Paul Hampshire: www.paulhampshire.co.za, who has completed the Intermediate Film acting Course, has
gotten so much work as a lead stunt double, bit part, walk on (just to
name a few) in various movies. Currently he has just finished work on
Judge Dredd and is now working on Strike Back 2 with Denzel Washington.
Please view his site it is very impressive!!! I am very proud of all
his accomplishes and i am positive he will be the next big STAR to hit
Hollywood!!!!
The Elocution/Accent Neutralization/Voice Over Courses
are still a huge hit. My students are all still currently in Sessions,
but as soon as they are done i will let you know what they get up to.
P.S
when learning how to speak correctly it is imperative that you
establish a good breathing method. You can choose between using only
your diaphragm, or ribs or both which is known as BARREL BREATHING. I
personally utilize my diaphragm when I am teaching on a one-on-one
basis. When I do voice overs I like to use barrel breathing and when I
do presentations I prefer using my ribs. There are various exercises
on the internet which are free of charge which you can download and
practice. Let me know how this goes????
Well,
I hope I was able to answer all your questions, if you have any
questions relating to the above post and/or any requests on topics you
want me to discuss please email me on: barbara@biebie.co.za otherwise please leave those awesome comments coming.
Have
a Fantastic Month of March… and stay tuned for my post on Transgender
Feminisation; where i will be discussing the course i have devised.
