You know when you sing and your voice gets really sore, well the same stands for acting. You must be using your neck muscle’s instead of your ‘Diaphragm!’- a large muscle beginning at the bottom of your ribs which goes to your abdomen, a muscle which you can use alternatively in order to have more breathe whilst singing and acting especially during soliloquis. We lay down on the floor in order to relax all muscles and really felt that we were breathing from some other place…the ‘Diaphragm!’. We did an activity where we let all the breathe out of our bodies and relaxed the abdominal muscles them let breathe in. As opposed to breathing from our stomach/abs we used our diaphragm which allowed all the air back into our bodies filling the diaphragm. The point of the workshop was to help us to use our voice on stage so that it will help us utilize how much breathe must be used and at which point.
