Starting the Leaflet | Lesson 6

Last lesson we finished filming all the footage for our warm up video, so I decided to start on our next task. The task set was to create a leaflet about vocal cords and why it is important to warm up your vocal cords before you sing. When creating the leaflet I decided to use publisher as the templates are very useful.

The leaflet should include information on what vocal cords are and what they do, why warming up your voice is important, and how you should warm up. We can also include some easy warm ups to help the audience who will read the leaflet.

I decided to start the leaflet by researching the vocal cords; what they are and how they work. When researching vocal cords I used the internet as my source as I knew the information I found would be accurate and fairly useful. I didn't want to copy the information word by word so I used the research as a base and wrote the information in my own words. I made sure to make the text engaging and understandable so the public would find it interesting and useful when doing their own warm ups. Because the anatomy of the vocal cords include complicated language, I decided to highlight those certain words and explain what they are further on in the leaflet. This is so the public aren't left wondering what the definition of the words are.

I didn't want to include too much complicated language, and too much anatomy of the vocal cords as it's not that interesting, so I made sure to add the important information about what it does. I decided that once I had included what the vocal cords are and what they do, I would go straight into why it's important to warm up.

Before I started the leaflet I made sure to collect information about the vocal cords and the importance of warming up. I put this information into a PowerPoint so I could use that as a guide when completing the leaflet.
