    Should I breathe from my mouth or nose while talking?

    When talking, it is much easier to breathe through the mouth, and it also provides an effective pause in sentences if needed, and so is good to use when speaking in an eloquent manner.
  • Question
    I need to have a very high and squeaky character voice that is hard to project. Any tips?
    Community Answer
    Try and speak from the lungs instead of the throat, and take regular breaths to ensure you have sufficient air to project.
  • Question
    When I act, I more so yell than project my speaking voice. How can I change that?

    Try to relax your vocal chords, relax your face, and talk in a deeper tone. Focus on using your diaphragm instead of your mouth to be louder.
  • Question
    When I'm acting, what should I do with my hands?
    Community Answer
    For starters, find someone who talks with their hands, pay attention to them and take note of how their hands move with their word emphases. Later, when performing your dialogue, pinpoint some cues in your lines to movements for your hands.
