National Theatre Vocal Exercises: Articulation
You can see some exercises that we do at the Miskin but the newer twist is what we need to get out of this slump that we have been having with our vocals. Its very noticable where the structure of the warm up comes into play and want I keep forgetting that its not about how much time you spend on it but how helpful it is so it better to have a great 10 minutes than a crap 1 hour.  Â

National Theatre Vocal Exercises: Opening Up the Voice
Something that keeps coming up for me during a vocal is yawning I never realised that it was helping I always thought that it was the air I wanted to get out finding a quick escape so Iv'e always held it back in case someone thought I was bored and just wanted to go back to bed so it looks like I can use that as an exercise.
National Theatre Vocal Exercises: Resonance
The focus that these actors have are incredable and the lanauge that the leading actor uses is very interesting using phases like child voice makes me realise what she is able to say before she even said it, it might be my actors intoision but never the less it is there, what is really key in this is hearing the note that they use from beggin to end you can hear what notes that they are confertable with and which one they are not and the improvment is heard stright away as the exocise goes on. Â
National Theatre Vocal Exercises: Breathing
Not many people realise how important breathing is when acting, which is why I found his video very usful, and will be suggesting some of these breathing warm up in our company warm ups.
Vocal Techniques
Singing
When singing a song, its important to have a connection with the music, other wise you may go out of tune and not feel as comfortable with the song as you would be if you did have a connection with the music. Plus, its important you listen to the music before singing, so you can get your self in tune, otherwise it will probably go out of tune.  It’s also important you understand the lyrical content of the song so that you can maintain character and deliver the story to your full potential.
Speacking
When delivering a monologue, its important you understand what the character is saying and how you can use different dynamics and tones to show the character emotions. Its important that you have a connection with the monologue so you can perform to your full potential.
·    Tone: A modulation of the voice expressing a particular feeling or mood.Â
·    Pitch: A standard degree of highness or lowness used in performance.Â
·    Projection: The strength of speaking or singing whereby the voice is used loudly and clearly.
·     Dynamics: The varying levels of volume of sound in different parts of a musical performance.
·     Articulation: The quality, clarity or sharpness of speech.
·     Diction: the art of speaking clearly so that each word is heard and understood to its fullest complexity and extremity, and concernspronunciation and tone, rather than word choice and style. ·     Pace: The speed at which movement occurs
·     Breath Control: A technique for controlling breathing and vocal technique used in singing.
Its important you understand and maintain all of these things whilst delivering a monologue. If you don’t, it’s mostly likely to look like you don’t know or understand the monologue. Its important you stand correctly so you can project, if you don’t you are mostly likely to run out of breath when speaking as your diaphragm isn’t open.
Its important you understand and maintain all of these things whilst delivering a song. If you don’t, your voice wont reach the maximum levels you may be able to reach when singing and its also important you know how to breath correctly and stand correctly when signing because if you don’t know how or when to breath in the right place you will loose the power in your voice because you have run out of breath, and its important to stand correctly because if you don’t know how to stand it will not only make it harder for you to breath and maintain your singing strength but it can also be threatening to your body structure and your voice because of the force you may be putting on different pressure points.

Vocal Health
·    Warming Up
A vocal warm up is essential in order to maintain a healthy voice and to make the most of the rehearsal session to follow. Warm-ups cover everything from stretching the body to preparing the muscles of the face, as well as introducing good vocal technique and focusing the mind.
·    Cooling Down
Cooling down the voice at the end of your session is just as important as warming up in preparation for singing. By running through a few low-impact cool down exercises, the voice is prepared to return to its normal non-singing state. These exercises are therapeutic for tired vocal folds and have the effect of calming them.
·    Dietary Consideration
During singing, whether in performance or rehearsal, try to avoid eating food, especially sugary or creamy foods, or drinking alcohol and defiantly do not smoke!! Some foods play havoc with mucous levels, and it is very easy to increase mucous around the larynx and add to the overall fatiguing of the voice. Wait to have your meal after you’ve finished the performance. Also ensure that you always have plenty of water available to hydrate your vocals. Also if you have an oral piercing, it would be best to take it out before rehearsals and performing as it could mess up your articulation, and if you don’t have any oral piercing, it would be best to not get them.
·    Posture
While singing, vocalists should pay close attention to the position of their feet, knees, hips, abdomen, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, and head. Correct positioning of these makes it easier for sound to be produced.
Examples…
·    The chin should be about parallel to the floor.
·    Shoulders should be held back and down, with chest held high, but not in a strained position.
·    Abdomen should be flat and firm, held in an expandable position.
·    Hands should be relaxed and still at the sides.
·    Knees should be flexibly loose, and never locked.
·    Feet should be slightly apart, one slightly in front of the other. The weight of the body is slightly forward.
·     Phonation: The production or utterance of speech sounds
·     Articulation: The formation of clear and distinct sounds in speech
