Vocal Exercises
Plays
Young performers face several challenges. For one, they must memorize lines. For
another, they must speak loud enough for Grandpa to hear them in the 22nd row. But
perhaps the most daunting challenge is learning how to slow down and enunciate.
No vocal warm-up is complete without reciting a few enunciation exercises. With that in
mind, I present 26 fundamentally fun tongue twisters. Each one provides an "elocution
work out." Take a few for a test drive. Say each line three or four times. But remember,
do not worry about speed. Focus on speaking clearly, even if you must over enunciate at
first.
