Articulation: small steps, big clarity

Clarity is a series of small wins: lips, tongue, and breath aligned with intent. Start with slower pace and deliberate consonants; speed returns naturally.

Practice tip: record a 60-second summary. Focus on one consonant family per day: T/D, P/B, K/G, S/Z.

Presence without pressure

An audience follows your breathing. Stable breaths produce stable cadence. Pause where the message needs space.

Drill: inhale low and silent, exhale on a gentle hum, then speak the first line. cedarhill.top

Warm voice, clear mind

Warmups are not theater-only. Two minutes of resonance and range work can reset tension and free your tone.

Try a soft lip trill or a five-note hum. Keep volume comfortable and sustain airflow.
