VOCALISE

We use our vocals to vocalize our thoughts feelings and emotions.

Everyday we communicate our thoughts through voice and sound.

Every animal utilizes noise/vocals to grasp attention from each other.

Every pitch can be vital in performance as to what you make another person/the audience feel. In creating a character an actor can use this to their advantage.

The way in which they do this is simple and yet can appear complex that post performance debate can be evoked as to what the character was trying to emote/achieve in a specific moment.

Just by changing the volume pitch texture etc an actor can draw the audience into the space and provoke them into feeling something for the character.

An example would be your favorite song, this can make you feel joyful energized just through voice.

It is such an important element when we communicate with other characters and display our inner thoughts through monologues etc.

So we must train the voice to be able to sustain our emotions so that when we perform we have enough vocal stamina to carry out multiple performances.

To train the voice you must use it by firstly warming up with exercises such as tongue twisters like:

Sister Suzie's
 Sister Suzie's sewing socks for soldiersSock for soldiers sister Suzie sews.
If sister Suzie's sewing socks for soldiers,
Where're the socks for soldiers sister Suzie sews?  Woodchuck (Classic) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck would chuck wood?
As much good wood as a woodchuck could - if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Betty Botter Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
 "But," she said, "this butter's bitter!If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter!"
So she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter butter, And she put it in her batter, and her batter was not bitter.
 One Line Repeater Say the following repeatedly, faster and faster. Red lorry yellow lorry Unique New York New York unique Floppy fluffy puppies Popacatapetal - copper plated kettle White window wedge on a white window sill.

Try using these before a performance to lubricate the mouth and vocal cords. 

Also play with the volume whilst you are doing it so the voice can get used to what is to come.
