Techniques For
Improving Your
Voice, Speech, And
Accent In Acting
Jason Mitchell
An actor’s voice is their
primary tool, and knowing
how to use it effectively is
essential. Here are some
techniques that can help you
improve your voice:
Breathing Exercises
Jason Mitchell says the first thing a beginner actor should do to improve voice deep
breathing exercises can help actors control their breath, which is necessary for good voice
projection. Practice breathing in and out slowly, and feel the air expand and contract in
your lungs.
Vocal warm-ups are essential to an actor’s routine. These exercises help warm your vocal cords and
prepare your voice for the performance. Try humming, singing scales, or reciting tongue twisters to
warm your voice.
Vocal Warm-ups
Diction and Articulation
Clear diction and articulation are vital for an actor’s voice.
Practice pronouncing words correctly and articulating
consonant sounds like “t” and “s.” You can also try
tongue twisters and exercises that involve moving your
mouth and tongue differently.
Speech
Practice speaking in
different angles,
techniques, and volumes to
develop a vocal variety.
Practice emphasizing
different words in a
sentence and
experimenting with varying
intonation patterns.
Experiment with different
pacing and rhythm patterns
to see what works best for
your character.
