I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Science says whether you’re a music student, dance student, or musical theatre
student, maintaining physical fitness is important for performance enhancement and injury
prevention.
Performing arts refers to forms of art in which artists use their voices, bodies or
inanimate objects to convey artistic expression. Theatre is a collaborative form of performing
art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or
imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may
communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech,
song, music, and dance. Theatre uses many conventions such as acting, costumes and
staging.
Acting is physical, vocal, mental and emotional work that requires preparation in order
to operate at peak performance. An actor’s body and mind need to be warmed up in order to
deliver their best to the audience.
Warm-up routines, physical warm-ups, and warm-up games are full-body physical,
facial, and vocal exercises that help actors get ready to perform. A good warm-up will help
you get into proper physical, mental, and emotional form to nail auditions and to work well
with other actors onstage.
Here are some acting Warm-ups for Actors:
1. Work your neck. Roll your neck around forward, side to side, backward. Roll it around
in one direction, then the other.
2. Shoulders. Shrug your shoulders up, down, then roll them forward and backward.
3. Circle your arms. Swing your arms in a circle in one direction, then the other, then in
opposite directions.
4. Stretch your ribs by raising your arms above your head, then leaning to one side,
feeling the tension release on your ribcage. Hold for a beat, then return to the upright
position and lean to the other side.

5. Breathwork. Assume an erect posture, inhale deeply and slowly through your nose.
Exhale slowly and deliberately through your mouth. Repeat a few times to slow your
heart rate down and relax.
6. Folds. Bend forward at the waist, dropping your head, with arms extended down,
holding for 10. Then come back up all the way into a slight backward bend, holding for
another 10 seconds. Repeat a few times until you feel your posture has improved.
7. Shake everything out. Start shaking your hands, then your arms, then your entire
body to release any lingering tension.
Here are some Facial Warm-ups for Actors:
1. Massage. Begin your facial warm-ups by massaging your face in slow, circular
motions to loosen the muscles around your mouth, eyes, and forehead.
2. Use the “lion/mouse” technique. Stand in front of a mirror and stretch all your facial
muscles. Open your mouth wide, like a lion roaring. Then scrunch your face into a
meek, small, expression, like a mouse. Switch back and forth.
3. Stretch your tongue. Pull your tongue out, pull it down as far as you can, then up,
then side to side. This will help you move your mouth and to enunciate and articulate.
Here are some Vocal Warm-ups for Actors
1. The “Hum.” Exhale slowly, humming until you have exhaled all of your air. Repeat
approximately five times
2. The “Ha.” Stand and place your hand on your abdomen. Breathe in by expanding
your stomach outward; you are now breathing from your diaphragm. Exhale slowly,
uttering, "ha ha ha ha." Push you abdomen in with every syllable. Repeat.
3. Lip trills and flutters. Roll your tongue on the roof of your mouth to make “trr” or “rr”
sound.
4. Descending nasal consonants. Say the word “onion,” stretching the “ny” sound and
voice it downward in pitch.
5. Tongue twisters. Memorize a few of tongue twisters, like “red leather yellow leather”
and repeat them to get your mouth loosened up.
6. Yawn and sigh. Open your mouth as if to yawn and let your voice sigh loudly from the
top of your register down to its lowest note.
