EMOTIONS: more food for thought.......

Emotions what language do they speak?
The answer is simple: every language known to man!
EMOTIONS ARE A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

You can turn the volume down on your tv or you can see a foreign film without understanding the language it was filmed in. Much like silent movies, if you really look and see what is happening between the players you will fully understand what they are feeling and what the conflict is. REAL EMOTIONS TRANSEND ALL BARRIERS.

MUCH LIKE MUSIC which is also a universal language. You can listen to a song in a language you do not understand and be moved to tears.

I usually give my students the following example when we are talking about the importance of emotions and being real and honest:

When you are hearing singers in any type of program like for example " American Idol" you find yourself drawn to simgers that sometimes are not the ones who have exactly the best technique or vocal range but to that one person who is feeling the song so much, who is actually telling you a story and he/she is making you feel what they are feeling!

I live in Argentina and the language spoken here is Spanish. Sometimes I have a student come up to me and ask me about a song in english he or she heard on the radio. They tell me "it made me cry or it made me sad or it made me feel sexy". The thing is these people who come and ask me do not speak or understand english. But they do understand and feel emotions!!!

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM GETTING AT? REAL EMOTIONS WILL GET YOU EVERYTME!! EVERYTIME!

Real emotions penetrate the very core of your being.

When you are sitting in a theater watching a play it doesnt matter if you are seated in the first row or in the last one if what is happening on stage is REAL.

Try watching a silent movie and experiment what happens to you while watching it.

I highly recommend you see: THE ARTIST.

Until next time!
