VOICE

VOICE is the BACK BONE of the ACTORS.


Without VOICE there is no life. VOICE is part of our life.

In the normal life it may not be much difference. But it effects in the ACTORS' life. The ACTORS should get the TENSION FREE NATURAL VOICE.

Evoluation of VOICE is very difficult. One has to go through several exercises to get the TENSION FREE VOICE.

The VOICE depends on GOOD BREATHING. Without BREATHING there is no VOICE.

Wherever the tension,BREATHING hides. As it is linked with the VOICE, VOICE also hides and very artificial VOICE come out.

What ever they speak it not their real VOICE. It is something different.

That VOICE does not have flexibility.

The BREATHING depends on correct POSTURE. If POSTURE is not correct, it effects the BREATHING.

The POSTURE depends on the PELVIC.

In order to get good VOICE one has to with the PELVIC EXERCISES.

One has to know ANATOMY OF THE BODY rto start with PELVIC exercises.

It is very important for the ACTORS to know about PELVIC, SPINAL CORD, THIGH BONE, NECK AND HEAD JOINTS, VOCAL APARTUS, THROAT, TONGUE, STUDYING OF FACE, JAW JOINTS and it's link, VOCAL CORDS and how it changes with different pitches and tones, how the VOICE is produced, BREATHING system and correct BREATHING system.

It is also important to know RIB CAGE i.e., TORSO(the heaviest portion in the body). THIGH BONE (large bone in the body).

Normally we leave TORSO weight on the THIGH BONE and the whole weight falls on the ankles. That causes dragging our gody while walking. In the correct walking the TORSO stands independantly. The correct walking only with knees bend. It is easy.

The ACTORS also should know the correct POSTURE, correct SITTING, STANDING and BENDING POSUTES.

The should do PELVIC EXERCISES, POSTURE EXERCISES, BREATHING EXERCISES to correct their BREATHING system. It is important for the ACTORS to know correct BREATHING system i.e., ABDOMIN BREATHINGSYSTEM OR CENTER BREATHING SYSTEM OR DIAPHRAGM BREATHING SYSTEM.

Most of the ACTORS does not know how to use their hands. Because there is tension in the SHOULDERS.

They have to do SHOULDERS' exercises to relax the shoulders.

Normally we use the legs only forward and backward. The inside stretch between the legs is also important for the ACTORS. This is possible through LEG EXERCISES.

The NECK is very important in producing good VOICE. The NECK stretch is important. Through NECK exercises, it is stretched to all the sides. The VOICE should not change with forward bendings, backward bendings and side bendings.

The ACTORS has to speak when they do ASANAS.

It helps to ajust the BREATHING on its own.

The VOICE should not change in any position of the BODY.

The tongue does not keep silently and it does not relax. Tongue moves continuously. At time the TONGUE creates problems in the SPEECH. It has to relax. It is possible through TONGUE exercises.

Technically, the BREATHING comes from ABDOMIN to the THROAT through VOCAL CORDS. Immaterial with the words whether they are small or long, it should not effect the THROAT. The THROAT should have full opening. The BREATHING required for the words will be controlled through ABDOMIN. THROAT exercises will help to get full opening of the THROAT.

The JAW is also very important in SPEECH. The correct movements of JAW brings out the CLARITY. The tension in the JAW restricts the movements. It is important to relax the LOWER JAW. The JAW EXERCISES WILL HELP to relax the LOWER JAW.

Face is most important for the ACTORS. They should have flexible face to carry on expressions. The FASCIAL exercises are necessary to ralax their face an fascial nerves.

The LIPS takes imprtant place in the ARTICULATION. The tenson in the LIPS restricts their movement and effects the flow of SPEECH.

All the above exercises helps to get TENSION FREE NATURAL VOICE.

Once the VOICE tension free, the SPEECH becomes good.
