Warmup Skills

Warmup Skill 1: Sirening with a Hum
Siren through your vocal range on a gentle hum. This exercise is very beneficial because it doesn't strain or damage your vocal chords but allows you to practise the whole range of your vocals.

Warmup Skill 2: 1 minute plank
Hold a plank keeping your body straight for one minute. Release tension in your mind and body. This helps you control your body and maintain personal stamina, like an actor would need to do to fit the requirements of certain roles, such as staying in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time.

Warmup Skill 3: Closed eyed balance
Close your eyes and try and balance on one foot, alternating the direction you look in. This is a good exercise for an actor because it helps you work your feet muscles and find a sense of balance without having to have your eyes open.

Warmup Skill 4: Equilateral triangle
Travel around the room, constantly changing directions, moving in the similar pace to everyone else in the room. Always have a point you are aiming for and look for space in the room. Pick two people, Person A and Person B. While still moving and changing directions, try and become aware of the positions of Person A and Person B and form an equilateral triangle with them.
