Thank you so much for posting these, as an actor they are very informative as is your excellent blog. Looking foward to seeing the show.

These videos are wonderful and informative. I think “drink often and pee pale” is great advice, just in general. 🙂

I train speakers to think of their voices as an instrument. You might wish to warm up your voice in the shower in the morning by:
Doing lip flutters, rasperries or tongue trills to get your breath going.
Hum a song being sure to keep your jaw relaxed and your face long so that the sound resonates in your face.
Recite ‘red leather blue leather’ 3 times quickly or say
‘eleven benevelont elophants’ quickly to warm up your tongue, jaw and lips

This was really interesting, especially the part about drinking water! I don’t perform anymore (oh who am I kidding I’m only 20) but it’s fun to see the greats doing the same sorts of exercises.
Thanks for posting!
