The experience of this part of the workshop was to try to draw your voice.
Participants saw a minute and a half of an edited clip of videos related to visualizing sound, avatars, earth and waves to get their minds going and relating different sounds to different visuals.
After, they introduced themselves whilst recording their own voice and then heard a playback. The tricky bit was trying to draw what they thought their voice could look like.
The response was varied and personal for each one, so the results are impregnated with layers of meaning, personalities and interest.
From my part, the experience was exciting and definitely inspiring.
Thanks everyone!

Stephanie: "I think my voice is very soft but I could hear a stronger accent than I thought"
So Young: "My tone was higher than expected. There are gaps between what I hear and what I say"
Perla: "Today my voice was a nice harmonic sound, different elements coming all together. The representation is your personality, you have no other option, it's your voice"
Ornette: "Natural and warm, branches off depending on what you say. Back and forth with a lot of texture, like waves on a beach"
Nick: "Sometimes my voice as well as what I say can be very hard, with black edges"
Neng: "My voice can be completely detached from what I mean"
Mariel: " Mainly my voice is purple. I can speak very calmly and sometimes noise interferes"
Maria: "I can hear my voice in my own head, sometimes wearing off from beginning to end"
Ishani: "I miss home, I want to go home!"
Gaelle: "Sometimes my voice can be like a pinch. I have no perception what color it can have"
Dawn: "My voice is like myself, it's not about high or low pitch. It's who you are and how you portray yourself"
David: 'My name is david and I'm a boy, a student, a designer"
Adriana: "Thinner or thicker like a blue fluid contained in a black outline"
