Warm ups

Warm ups

In lesson's we do warm up activities to get our bodies and minds ready for the day ahead. Each activity helps us get in tune with our bodies and helps us with our vocal skills.

We will do stretches and exercise to wake up our bodies for the day ahead. One of the common exercise we do is the spine roll where you will roll your spine from a standing position to a bent over position on one breathe. This helps get our breathing and body in tune.

Other activities we do are vocal where we work with our voices. We do many like using different sounds to help with our vocal chords and recently we did an exercise called head, heart, guts and groin where we used different actions and voices. Like we would walk around in neutral then stop and speak in a logical voice and does what it says, this is from the head, then we would stop and speak to someone and speak to them with sensitivity and this is from the heart, then we would place our hands against the wall putting all our weight into our hands and shouting from our guts, in anger or frustration from the guts, finally we leant against the wall with our backs to it and said in a voice that was sensual this came from the groin our line to see the effect of each voice on the line and too see which fitted it best for the scene.
