All of which is a roundabout way of wondering what we as contra
callers can learn from square dance callers.
Probably a lot. And they from us, since they often use records, which
are dynamically more "normalized" than live people playing live music...
But the point is clear: many of us would benefit from voice lessons and
practice at theatrical enunciation. I'm calling a teacher today...
Since you mention it, and since you're in the SF Bay Area, my sister (in
SF) teaches vocal technique for radio and voice-over actors. She's a
casting agent and thus has reason to want more people in the Bay Area
who can speak clearly and compellingly. Might be interesting to have a
chat with her about ways to be clearer on mic over a noisy room.
