The following serves only as an example, as there are many vocal exercises the candidates may have been exposed to, e.g. making a centred sound: Jog around the room allowing sound to drop out of you as a series of heavy sounds (huh, huh, huh). Bend knees keeping upper body long and sigh out as you do so, breathe in as you straighten your knees. This helps to root the voice in the centre of the body, making it easier to access the authentic feelings of the poem, as well as the muscular strength required for vocal production. (5) The tone of voice would be one of anticipation or excitement. The poet is describing a holiday and the excitement of a trip to the beach. Those going to the beach rush quickly past the scenery to arrive at the beach, where they will spend the day. The vocal tone has a level of energy that creates anticipation and excitement. This will draw the audience into the holiday experience. (4) The four words each create a different picture in the minds of the audience. Changes in volume and pitch will assist the audience in recognising the different atmosphere of the places described. The performer says each word as if looking at the changing scenery while passing in a car or taxi. ‘Industry’ may be said with a loud volume and a low pitch as it is very visible and stark on the landscape, ‘townships’ with a medium volume and medium pitch – not as harsh as industry, ‘suburbs’ the volume may remain medium, the pitch rise
