Theatre H/W - Why should an actor warm up their body and voice?

Why should an actor warm up their body and voice?

An actor should warm up their body and voice because it aids them in a variety of ways. For example, it may be articulating difficult words correctly. However, one of the most significant reasons why an actor/actress warms themselves up is to project their voice to the audience clearly and effectively. If an actor does not succeed in projecting their voice loud enough the audience will have almost know idea what is happening on the stage in the specific scene. Furthermore, the most important way of communicating to the audience and to your acting partners while performing is your voice, especially in monologue type scenes, if not raised enough the scene could potentially end in catastrophe. There are many others reasons why warming up before performing is important but voice projection is an extensively important aspect in acting and should always be exercised before the performance.

My Long Term Target Is...
To become a positive, professional actor who is included in many shows, movies ad productions.
