Q & A with Susan Berkley
A Subscriber James Hill writes:
"I have been an athletics public address announcer for a number of years at Trinity University (Texas). I received a degree in speech and drama, way back in 1976. I have your CD which describes vocal warm-ups. But, my voice often tires. Any tips for maintaining vocal strength?"
Susan responds: "First of all, make sure the public address system is working properly so you aren't yelling and that you are well hydrated before going to work. Start drinking lots of water at least 2 hours before a game to make sure the water has a chance to cycle through your body. I am glad you are doing the vocal warm-ups. Make sure you do them before every game. But warming up the voice is not enough.
Vocal fatigue can be made worse by tension. Make sure you are nice and relaxed, both before the game and while you work. Take a yoga class to learn deep breathing and full body relaxation techniques. Try to be aware of any tension in your throat or neck while you work. Make sure your voice is focused in the facial mask so you can project without strain. The mask is the triangular area located between your two sinuses and your larynx. You'll find exercises for finding the mask on the Vocal Vitality CDs in my Magnetic Speaking Power program.
Finally, I wonder how you feel about this announcing work? Sometimes we love a job so much we can't stand the joy. And sometimes a job brings up issues in our inner life that are difficult to deal with so we become tense. Good luck and let me know how you do."

Susan Recommends 
If you're a lifetime learner like me, you're going to love this Podcast by my friend Rich Jones. It's called "Thinking with Somebody Else's Head" and you'll find it easily by name in iTunes. Rich and his special guests will give you a refreshing new perspective on the "head stuff" that holds us back and keeps us from enjoying life to the fullest. This is some cutting edge material based on over 30 years of clinical research done by psychoanalyst Dr. Norberto Keppe and his colleagues in Brazil. It's free and you don't need an iPod to listen. You can hear it at www.itunes.com on any computer.
