“The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution.

Put another way, it’s to go from understanding the content of something

to really learning how to communicate it and make sure

it’s well-received and lives in somebody else.” -  Yo-Yo Ma

Now doesn’t that speak to all kinds of communication?  I was looking for a quote to use on the rebuild of my OscarsVoice website.  I’ve been procrastinating on making some voice products where I’m trying to communicate how to be, do things etc. and in a last site I wrote that the energy and intent behind the words is as important as the verbal message.  One study suggested that personal communication is 7% verbal. 38% tone of voice and 55% physiology.

So I think I should do some practicing.

The role of the speaker/teacher ?……………….is to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it’s well received and lives in somebody else.
