Warming up exercise for Actors
The Routine:
1. Lie down
on your back in a comfortable position. LOW HUMMING NOISE, roll your body to one side and get up to keep your breathing INTACT. (Repeat 5 Times)
2. Neck rolls,
rotating your head SLOWLY - clockwise and anticlockwise, add on with shoulder rolls. Helps to warm up your throat muscles.
3. Facial Massage,
massage your whole face, by drawing circles with the tip of your fingers to enable a relaxing of your face. (Repeat 6 Times)
4. Jump up and down, shake your hands and feet for the CIRCULATION and loosening up of the muscles.
5. I call it the LION/MOUSE FACE technique, stretch your mouth wide open, demonstrating a roar effect. Mouse scrunching of your face and mouth. Move your tongue around your gum! Pretending your eating a sweet and enjoying it.
Ruth: " It is essential to warm up as an actor before a performance, as it allows the performer to be more relaxed and ready."
