Voice health poster

This is mine and Frankie's vocal health poster. This is made especially for actors to warn them about things that can seriously affect your voice.

We also listed things that can help improve your voice such as drinking water.

The things that affect your voice is Smoking, Diary products, alcohol, sugar, shouting, drugs and coughs: Smoking can affect your vocal chords. Smoking can affect your vocal chords as well as your general health. Diary products clog up your throat and make you sound more like you have a cold. An exercise to clear this is:

Place both thumbs on either side of your nostrils, on your sinuses (the delicate part of your nostrils.) Places both index fingers on your temples. Breath out for 10 seconds, once this is down, bring your thumbs to your temples (running it along your cheeks) whilst breathing IN through your nostrils, then swallow.  Alcohol and sugar also seriously affect your voice, especially as an actor as we use our voices a lot.

We have listed ways to improve  your vocal health such as hot water with lemon and honey, rest and plenty of water. 

These are all great ways for us actors to help keep our vocal health good and healthy for shows and performances. Having good vocal health helps us to project our voices and feel more confident on stage when delivering lines.
