Speaking Of… Conversations on Voice, Speech, and Identity with Ryan O’Shea

by

Speaking Of… is a show about how we use our voices both in performance and in everyday life. Through conversations with performers, teachers, and anyone who has a voice, voice and speech coach Ryan O’Shea explores questions about how our voices and the ways we speak help shape and express our identity. Can someone’s voice tell you whether or not they’re a good person? Is there any way to change how you sound without feeling inauthentic? We’ll examine these questions and many more in the course of the show by combining practical exercises and conceptual discussions about what it means to utilize your voice.
