Speech Exercise Class

Since this week’s class is cancelled, here is a free mini-workout for all gym members. Available for a limited time. Note: I am not using my loud voice because I recorded this in an office building with meetings on both sides of me. Don’t let that stop you from using your loud voice!

Here’s a short version of the Speech Exercise Class at Center for Movement Challenges. Our format:

1. Upper body stretches (a relaxed body produces better voice)

2. Breathing exercises (breathing is the foundation of voice)

3. Warm-ups (to prepare for the voice and speech exercises)

4. Vocalizations (ahs and glides)

5. Speech practice (over-enunciation)

6. Brain exercises (varies every week)

7. Face exercises (to increase facial expression and tongue movement)

8. Cool down (to relax the throat)
