That there is IPA! Get used to it folks, because I'm going to have to start using it on the regular. (lol) By the way, that word is yoga in IPA format.
"What on earth is IPA, anyway?" I hear you cry.
IPA:
International Phonetic Alphabet
noun
the set of symbols and modifiers designed, principally on the basis of articulatory considerations, to provide a consistent and universally understood system for transcribing the speech sounds of any language: devised by the International Phonetic Association.

So there. Now you know what on earth I'm talking about. We didn't do much with IPA on Wednesday. Except the end of the class, where we reviewed some words we wrote on the board, we hardly touched the topic. But what we did get alot of was
YOGA!

| We didn't actually do this pose... Thank heavens... |
Yup. It was exciting. I haven't done yoga in a few semesters. Actually, since I've started at GPC, I won't lie. But thank God, I have been stretching regularly or else that would have been painful. :/
We discovered how stretching (and nutrition) could supplement our voices and help with the overall health of our speaking abilities. I quite enjoyed it. I was relaxed and, oh, the breathing part was my favorite.
I've disovered:
- I've missed yoga
- How stretching affects my breathing: it brings breath to the forefront and makes you pay more attention.
- About the Respiratory System (how breath affects speech)
- How posture affects the speech
- How to maintain good vocal health regualrly
A Few Words for Thought:
Larynx
Oscillator
Resonator
See ya on the flip side! ;D
