about

Sound From the Bench was co-commissioned by The Crossing (Donald Nally, artistic director) and Volti (Robert Geary, artistic director).

lyrics

Inhale.
Take a deep breath.
Draw in as much air as possible.

Don't sound obvious.

Avoid gasping.
Raise your tongue.

Position the back of your tongue so it touches your soft palate.
When the mouth is closed the tongue comes in close contact with the roof
A curtain of flesh, the soft palate
The throat and mouth in distinct chambers.

Exert pressure.
Let out a groan.
The ventriloquial drone.

text culled by JENA OSMAN and TED HEARNE
from “How to throw your voice” (www.wikihow.com/Throw-Your-Voice) and Ventriloquism (1906) by Charles Henry Olin
