Voice drills are most effective when you preform them several times and exaggerate individual aspects. That way you hear and feel the differences.
Speed
First - say that phrase as fast as you can - even running the words into each other. Don't emphasise any words. Just concentrate on speed. Do it three times and try to be faster each time.
Slow
Second - say that phrase as slow as you can. Draw each word out as long as you can. Do it three times and each time slower.
Pause
Third - say that phrase with an exaggerated pause between every word. State each word clearly and draw out the pauses between each word as if you were reading a death sentence for your loved one. Do it three times - each time with the pause longer.
Passion
Fourth - say that phrase injecting passion into every second word. Contrast is important. Play with it and do it three times.
After this warm up - say it as if you wanted to enthrall your young children or grand children.
Hear and feel how powerful you sound.
Merry Christmas
