Lesson 2 post 3

At the start of the three hour workshop, we warmed up our bodies and voices. This excersise was called 'Clear The Space' and it was an amazing way how to warm up your body, because we had to stay forcused at all times and only concentrate on the teachers voice and the instructions that she gave us I follow. It helped us mentally and got our minds working . It helped us physically because it helped drain all the existing tension that was in our bodies and made us feel way more relaxed. 

As actors we need to physically warm up because it makes us become more focused and relaxed. We are able to develop self control and can easily get into character. 

When warming up our voices we also developed self controll and it helps us loosen our mouths in order to be able to articulate every word we speak. Our voices are one of the most important features we have as an actor because without our voices we wouldn't be able to say our line.

After the vocal warm ups my voice felt loose an very powerful because I was able to pronounciate and speak out loud clear enough for people to hear and understand me.
