Sensitivity to snarkiness
Like a physical issue any underlying emotion can also be ‘heard’ in your voice: angry or anxious, stressed or depressed, walking on eggshells or on cloud nine, your voice won’t be natural unless you are ‘centred’. All of these situations manipulate your mindset: how do I feel, how do others see me, am I letting them see the ‘real me’? and will affect your hormones, your physical tension and your body language.
Your emotions might be affected by:
A colleague’s clumsy comment: “are you nervous?”
A stupid studio soundman: “that’s not quite right, dunno why, can you do it again?”
The insensitive intern: “can I just stand behind you and watch?”
The flaky friend on the phone: “you care more about your stupid show than you do about me!”
The messed-up manager who can’t manage to manage: who only feeds back when you f-up
Try and give your ‘mind > body > voice’ connection a ‘reset’ to improve your performance and beat the invisible enemy.
