PHYSICAL WARMUPS & ACTIVITES

FEEL YOUR FEELINGS

For this activity, everyone has to sit on the floor wherever you like.  It is important that wherever you are sitting, you are close enough that you can hear my voice, but still have enough room to spread your body out for this activity.  Though this activity will be relaxing, it is important for you all to keep your eyes open and concentrate. Listen very closely to what I am saying and concentrate on the instructions.

VOCAL WARM UPS & ACTIVITIES

VOCAL WARMUPS & ACTIVITIES

In this section of the workbook, we will discuss how to prepare your voice for the stage.  As we discussed in the Imagination Worksheet your voice is one of your most important tools as an actor. Your voice can help you to create and define characters, create sound effects, and establish mood and attitude for the story you are presenting.  In order to use your voice effectively and without hurting it, it is important to learn how to warm it up and prepare it for performing.
