Warm ups

How an actor prepares for the stage

Actors have many different methods for preparing to get on stage and perform. Before the 15 minute call, the actors need to prepare their voices for the stresses of projecting their voices and possible dance movements.
A couple ways the actor prepares:
- Vocal Warmups
- Stretching
- Face movement
- Drinking Tea with honey
In high school at Coral Glades, we would gather in a circle about 20 minutes before open and do a cheer and dance around. This would loosen us up and prepare the cast for a lively show.
