Articulation Exercises for Actors (How to Improve Articulation & Diction)

I'm not even an actor but I find articulations so interesting

#1 tongue twisters #2 tongue stretches A, B, C, D #3 massage: jaw, cheeks, lip, neck 1) look down, up 2) look left, right 3) stroking the dog #4 jumble mouth #5 voiced and unvoiced patterns #6 put a pencil in it

Thank you, I recorded myself before with my regular timid voice and then after doing enunciation exercises. I read a passage from a book, and I almost sound like a different person, incredible

Pulling down on one's cheeks may not be the best way to relax the jaw and cheeks. Gravity is pulling down on those muscles every single minute of every single waking day. Instead of pulling down, try a gentle upward stroke with the palms of your hands. I guarantee you will find an immediate relaxation benefit! These neck exercises are perfect, and I will be incorporating them into my "Centered Breath" exercise in the coming weeks. This exercise is not yet available on YouTube, but will be in the next few weeks. BTW, I have been teaching voice since the sixties; and in my "Song For Non Singers" class. which I taught for 25 years in Cambridge, MA. I worked with more than 5,000 voices.

Finally a video that actually gives some practical exercises to practice. Thank you!
