The Voice Exercise Book CD - The Warm-Ups is an essential tool for every student and actor
As with the Book, these essential warm-up exercises are for anyone who wants to use their voice more effectively
If you're using your voice in a professional capacity as a performer, a public speaker, a teacher, or even for long hours over the telephone then warming up is an essential part of ensuring best practice and vocal health
On this CD, Jeannette Nelson, Head of Voice at the UK's National Theatre, provides three complete and easy-to-use voice warm-ups that she uses with actors and non-actors alike
Simply press Play, and follow the instructions
Either on your own or in a group
Each warm-up helps you to:
★ Release physical tension and prepare your breathing
★ Open up your voice and improve your resonance
★ Get the speech muscles in your mouth working freely
There is also a warm-down for after you have been using your voice, to release any tensions, re-establish good muscle action, and keep healthy for the next time
The CD can be used on its own or in conjunction with The Voice Exercise Book
