In the book Voice Training and Development, you will find seven simple exercises that can quickly and effectively improve your speech.
These are exercises that professional actors and singers go through as a warm-up before stepping onto the stage to perform. The exercises should be seen as an introduction to any kind of voice use, whether it’s singing or speaking in front of a group or a larger audience.
The exercises are designed to relax the muscles in the face and around the neck. By practicing these exercises, you can also help strengthen your lung function. Additionally, all work with the body and breathing will increase your awareness of your own body. Instructions and images make it easy for you to continue working with the exercises on your own or together with a few friends. If you do these exercises twice a week, I would bet that over time you will breathe better and your voice will become freer. An added bonus is that practicing these exercises gives you more energy and vitality in your daily life.
Enjoy your training!
