Shout

Calling across a distance: both hands come up cupped at the mouth as the chest draws back for breath, then on the shout the chest and the head push forward; held, then the hands come down.

What it is for

Shout is for calling someone far away: across a field, up to a window, after a friend who is leaving. Put it on the character just before a loud line.

The principle it shows: anticipation

Before the shout, the chest draws back, as a body takes a breath. That small move the other way is what makes the push forward read as force. The feet stay where they are; only the chest and the head go forward.

Try this

Push forward in 0.12 seconds instead of 0.25. A sudden, startled yell instead of a call.
In the program: ramp · over 0.25 → 0.12
Draw the chest back 14 degrees before the shout instead of 6. A bigger breath, so the shout reads louder.
In the program: ramp · to.part:torso#1 -6 → -14

How it differs from Whisper and Announce

Whisper keeps the voice close behind one hand. Announce speaks to a crowd in front of the character; Shout calls to one person far away.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	body, head, arms
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	turns, body, head, front legs, back legs, tail, ears
