speech and voice

Our third lesson was all about speech and the use of our voices.

Articulation-the formation of clear and distinct sounds in speech.

In our lesson we tried different warm ups which help with articulation.

the 1st warm up consisted of us humming whilst our mouths were closed, after 5 seconds we would open our mouths and let out the sound, we also would hum and chew at the same time. This was very helpful to all of us as actors as it helps our voices become less groggy as it was early in the morning.

We then started to focus on produce sound from the bottom of our lungs (diaphragm), so we put our hands on the top of our bellies and performed this same activity from before.

We then lied down on the floor and performed a warm up were you breathe in through the nose and then exhale however whilst exhaling we would let out a hum, this helped us actors all relax and also teach us not to force out the sounds we make and that it should feel natural to do it.


After those warm ups we focused on enunciation which is the art of speaking clearly. 
Doing tongue twisters help with the use of our tongue as our tongue is what is used to pronounce all words.
