your

mouth. so over a period of time you can brighten and tone those muscles and make things sound crisper and clearer when you speak, not only are they great for working and developing those muscles but they are also great as a warm up, so if you were Al go to a

voice

-over studio, if you are in a play, you need to warm up

your

voice

.

These can be added to your routine to help fine-tune the joint. Well, the first one is so easy that you do it yourself all the time. He's yawning. That's right, I want you to yawn. I mean, you don't have to look stupid when you do it, but it helps when you take a breath with a yawn, you open all the spaces from your lips to your diaphragm and because you're letting in a lot of air if things have to create space and this is exercise a lot of muscles on the way down and just enjoy it whether it's natural or you have to fake it doesn't matter it's a really good exercise 10 of those to start your warm ups and as time goes on you might want to start doing more , maybe 15, do 10 for the first 10 days and then do 15 for the next 15 days and 20 for the next 20 days and see how you feel and Because you will be doing these exercises daily, you will start to notice a difference and it is You might want to do more because you might see the benefits and just want to get a lot better.

Well, number two will be the lip trills that singers now use. This is pretty much it, if anyone has sung or actors who have done voice work or have had to warm up for their shows will have done this basically, it's using air to vibrate your lips like this, now you can pick a tone and stay there or You can go up and down the note scale. It's not a singing exercise for us as such, but it's useful if you want to go up and down notes because it also warms up other parts that when what you're speaking will be useful, so you don't want your lips to be too tight and you don't have to be too tight. loose.

You want to find a balance in the middle and you want to hear the sound that comes out as well. you are activating your vocal cords and the noise is coming through you it is not just air you are not just hearing the difference if you find it difficult to do this on your own you can put your fingers and hold the soft part of your cheeks up as that will help you keep your lips in the correct position so that you can make the sound and after doing it for a while you can remove your hands and do the same and as you progress I want you to do this exercise more and more in one breath, so if you breathe as deeply as you can, count yourself doing it for 20 seconds to start, if you can do 20 seconds, then move on to 30 seconds, if you can do 30 seconds easily, why not try it? minute and if you can get one minute, why not try for two minutes?

The idea is that wherever you are right now, wherever you're starting from, do it as long as you can time it yourself and then the next day try to do some. seconds more or a little more and again in a few weeks you will be able to hold your breath for much longer and the lips will work hard and the muscles will start to work better for you again. It's also great for a warm up if you're doing voiceover or stage work, the next exercise will be pitch trills and this is very similar to the lip trills we just did, but only with the tongue.

Instead of using your lips, you can use your tongue. I make that sound. This is really difficult for some people. A lot of people don't use their language rhotically and I have a squiggly accent. I'm from London, so. I don't usually do butt bends and I found it difficult at first, so with a little practice you'll get there. It's very good for warming up another muscle and the tongue is such a big muscle that it reaches up here. Your tongue plays a very important role in forming words, so these tongue trills will help you with that, that's how it should be.

After the first few times of doing these exercises you may feel a little sore in your mouth or on the bottom of your tongue that's good it means it's working it means you're exercising no pain no gain it's ok for the next few two exercises that I will need the plank these next two exercises are almost like tongue twisters it will promote the idea of ​​getting your muscles will learn to think faster first it will be a brain and then the mouth and the tongue and the lips will catch up they are very simple words but when get together they can get a little hard to say cellar cellar joint o poor dog o boo doo goo poo Doo goo BVG PDG gay payday gay payday that's all one round okay too bad Nagar Palika border gotta go boo goo goo poo Doo goo b dep dep take a pedicure game that's a good speed to start with I know them so it's a little easier for me so you should try to make them sound as clear as possible as well as increase the speed with which you can say them.

I want you to focus more on what you are reading and doing it correctly and forget about the Breath is what will happen, the breath will come.

What's most important is that you do it right. There are many breathing training videos. I often find that when people start thinking about breathing, they become overly aware of what they are doing. While I'm doing that, I want to focus for now on these and if you want to do some breathing exercises, there's a video below that has them there for you once you can say them faster and you can say more in a single breath, you'll find that Your
