On this episode of Speaking Of… I’m joined by actor and founder and creator of The Modern Actor, Eddie Ramos.

Eddie had two questions: “How can I express myself without using vocal fry? What sort of warm-up should I be doing before going on set?”

Eddie and I talked about how on-camera actors, in particular, often rely on vocal fry in their speaking. We talk about what vocal fry is, why it’s so common, and why it might actually be a useful choice for an actor. Then I share thoughts on how to find a fuller, more expressive voice as well as what type of exercises actors might do in order to perform in any context.
