Projecting into the soul

At the moment we have been doing certain exercises to help us project our voices into the person we are talking to's soul. 

Today we did an exercise where we would got into partners and you and your partner would have to take turns counting numbers up to 10, we had to project our voice into the other person, this is difficult especially when moving and taking in to consideration the perfect volume for a 300 seated audience.

Another challenging factor I found with this exercise is trying no to "act" and be realistic, finding the common ground and not being disconnecting but not being too over the top and fake is harder than I initially thought but is key to portraying your character to the audience and for them to believe your character.
