3: The Advanced Warm-up Series
This is the beginning of our third warm-up series, and this time the level of the material is more advanced. The expectation is that you will have worked your way through the material of the Basic Warm-up Series and theIntermediate Warm-up Series first, or will have worked with a voice trainer before, either privately or in a training institution, like an acting conservatory or university theatre program.
The steps of this warm-up are as follows:
- Introduction (this post)
- Breath in the Pelvic Bowl
- Voice in the Pelvic Bowl
- Exploring Upper Range
- Head-Jaw relationship
- Tongue Flapping, in and out
- Soft Palate Floating
- Lip Advancing, Rounding, Spreading
- Facial Resonance and Twang
- Articulation of L and N on the Gum Ridge
- Text: beginnings and endings
- Conclusion
As I did last time I began a new series, I’m adding a second post today. As this post really just outlines the series, I’m certain you’d like something new to explore today. The bonus is a post on another physical exercise used in voice work, “Neck Stretching.”
