This is an amazing tool. I am an actor and incorporate it with my voice work. So many comments of ignorance on this. People making jokes, commenting on testosterone levels, and saying not to do this. But they're ignorant comments. People who have no knowledge on Biomechanics or the human voice. They know nothing about the diaphragm, the chest and head resonators, the soft palate, stretching of the throat muscles, the facial mask etc. They ignore educating themselves, so they comment out of ignorance. Voice exercises are truly valuable. They're is a reason why singers and Broadway actors who have to have resonance and carry it to the back row, do exercises like these. It works. Like anything else, if you exercise it, it strengthens. So, I encourage you to try it CONSISTENTLY so you can truly make an honest opinion for yourself. Instead of reading negative criticism of lazy, judgmental, ignorant people who most likely never even took a moment to actually see if it works. :)
Would you mind sharing what else you do for voice work? I do this series (almost) daily but would love to know what other exercises fellow artists are doing. :)
@@averyvolk3355 I'm so sorry for replying so late. I hardly read the comments and I just read yours. A few other things I do for voice work are reading daily out loud with a cork in my mouth. Sounds crazy I know. ( La Marca Prosecco cork). I find it really helps with my articulation as well as resonance and grounding of my voice. Not to mention grabbing words of the page while reading aloud, and looking up is a great cold reading exercise. The cork read I do now for 20 min. It's funny, during the exercises in this clip for articulation, she makes the students put two fingers in their mouth and speak. It's the same thing. Humming while beating on your navel and singing aloud are also great strengtheners and warm ups that can be done in the car or just before auditions as well.
G H I’d also add further stretching your soft palette and roof of your mouth with moving tip of tongue behind the bottom teeth then pushing it from the middle in and out. Also yawning without opening your mouth is great to do if you’re in public! Im voice actor and stage!
@@selty Yes! Absolutely! Totally agree! And I appreciate you saying that. I actually do try stretch the tongue by pushing against the bottom teeth in and out and I smile while doing it to get even more of a stretch. And I did hear yawning is great both open and closed mouth for further stretching. This is great. Thank you for adding that.. I follow a lot of exercises I couldn't have time to mention. Mostly from an amazing voice book called, "Make your Voice Heard: An actor's guide to increased dramatic range through vocal training," by Chuck Jones. Small book, but really great "encyclopedia" of all the things we mentioned. Good stuff. All the best to you in your work! 😊
God bless you, Mrs. Jeannette Nelson!!! It is so so helpful for actors! Thank you very much! I use your four videos "Vocal warm-up" every day and every day is my voice better and better :-) Thank you!
Wonderful, and better than mine, (although I think VOICE COACH is quite good still) , but this lass - Jeannette Nelson - is comfortable, fun AND good at this. J.
Thank you for these videos. Both the teacher and the actors are very talented, down to earth. The videos are of enormous help! 1,00000000000000 thank you.
I just finished playing Amy in Company and used this every night to make sure I was ready for Getting Married Today. It most definitely helped. So thank you all :D
I'm a singer/songwriter and although this is aimed at acting vocals etc, I've found it very helpful with opening up my vocals as I do get very tense at gigs while I'm playing guitar Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sooo very very much for these videos! You have saved me from harming myself because I have no formal voice training. I sing in a hard rock band and this has helped me tremendously. Bless you for posting these exercises. :)
I'm so glad i found this video, which is in British, 95% of the videos on acting preparation and voice warm up are in American ... =( Thanks this is really helpful!
God! dear teacher, thank you for your exercices, although there is nothing new in it, unfortunately; from this kind of " yoga; breathing exercises, so on and so for. Sincerely I looked forward something...different from the thousand of internet excercices; pity Anyway, i'm an opera student, specially baroque ,thanks i do these and moreeee...ex. every day, before rehearsal...with all my respect ❤
Can you write what's that word for exercise? "They said: do daily this..?" I can't understand that. And next point! "Red.."!? What's that sentence!? Thank you so much 💓 your teaching is the best ❤
look pretty relaxed to me...just because they are still doesn't imply they are stiff. to be literally stiff would require every single one of their muscles in their body to be activated as in rigor mortis and that cant be b/c i see swings in arms when they make small movements about. A stiff dead body whose muscle cells are being flooded with calcium to maintain activation doesn't sway about and have their arm limp also swaying about. you should really look what the word "stiff" means
utter rubbish and im an actor and voice specialist .. no wonder that the actors cannot speak today with any freedom and strain to fill a theatre with any sense of ease.
Thank you for all of your comments and I hope you find the rest of our collection on Voice as helpful and informative.
My mom walked in and made a solemn face and left.
I use these warmups (1 - 4) before each performance of Henry V. They are exceptionally helpful!
Jeannette Nelson is a national treasure, although I reside in another nation.
Her ease of education is appreciated worldwide, thanks to these videos.

Acting, but could work with singing I guess.
