Actors may need to be able to
control their breathing because they need to be in character. For example if
they are acting as if they just went on a sprinting marathon they need to act
like they are gasping for air at the end of the scene, or if they have a long
speech during a scene they need to take breaths carefully in between so it
doesn’t look sloppy and they don’t have to keep stopping to catch their breath.
Vocal exercises:
1. - Lie down
flat on your back and hum a low steady rhythm. Stand up or roll to the side
while trying to keep the same hum.
2. - Do a Siren
exercise and hit the low and high notes while saying “eeeeeee”. Alternate the
octaves.
