The Actors Best Tool

by Jessica on February 9, 2010

An actor’s body and voice is their tool, their instrument.
Just like Athletes warm up so should actors, an Actor is an Athlete too.
As an actor we should remember to warm up our voice and body everyday,
It is very easy to get lazy and not work on these things, but they are simple and effective.

Your vocal cords are similar to other muscles: the more you tone them, the more deftly you can use them.
We should do exercises, to loosen up our body, increase our vocal range and do breathing exercises.

These will improve our posture, presence as an actor and the strength of our voice, It can also be beneficial to accent work, as the more we are in tune with our body and voice the better we can manipulate it to our advantage.

Here at TVI conservatory, we have classes that strengthen our voices, and work specifically on accents.
