Act 1 Scene 1 Miller Household, 8:00 AM Delilah Miller: Ahhhhhhh!! Mrs. Miller: *Runs over, concerned* Woah, that was shrill. Are you okay? Delilah Miller: Yes, oh my god, Lana Del Rey is going to perform at Coachella this year!! Ahhh! Mrs. Miller: Hey, calm down! I was worried you were hurt from that screech. Can you take it down a notch? Delilah Miller: Yes, sorry mom, I’m just so excited *Deep breath* Now I’m back to normal. Mrs. Miller: Who is Lana Del Rey? Can you play me one of her songs? *Summertime sadness plays* I’ve got that summertime summertime sadness I’ve got that summertime summertime sadness oh, ohhhhh. Mrs. Miller: Wow, this very melancholy. But her voice is full, rich, and beautiful. Delilah Miller: Exactly! She is so talented, her voice can shift from sounding sweet, thin, and cheerful, to dark, deep, and bitter. I can’t wait to hear her voice live! Explanation For my project, I wrote a scene of a short play centered around a mother-daughter relationship. The term I chose to explore is “voice timbre.” Timbre is defined as “whether [a voice] sounds thin, flat, warm, round, nasal, etc.” I chose to illustrate this concept through a mother-daughter relationship because age difference, maturity level, and energy level can be predictors of an individual’s voice timbre. The addition of a singing voice to the mix, particularly, Lana Del Rey’s full, deep vocals, implements a supplementary element that the audience can use to understand different voice timbres. It is easy to recognize how voices can differ in sound from warm, thin, soft, round, etc. through these three different voices and how they shift throughout the scene.
