Lady Hotspur "O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?
For what offence have I this fortnight been
A banish'd woman from my Harry's bed?
Tell me, sweet lord, what is't that takes from thee
Thy stomach, pleasure and thy golden sleep?
Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth,
And start so often when thou sit'st alone?
Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks;
And given my treasures and my rights of thee
To thick-eyed musing and cursed melancholy? "

> relax! make sure not to be tense because else your coal cords will tense ups releasing the voice to be quieter. its usually your shoulders that tense and your head. humming warm ups as you have described in the vocal warm up section.

a lot of these I learnt from vocal workshops at college.

1. one thing that warms up the vocal muscles is massaging  them. simply massage your jaw very gently.
2. tongue washes ( sounds weird I know), roll your tongue around are mouth to warm up the tongue muscle.
3. make a siren noise starting at your natural pitch. take it higher, come back down and then complete the noise as low of a pitch as you can.
4. Start humming escalating the pitch up and down. as high as you and as low as you can.

Voice Quality and types of  Perception

below are some vocal perceptions. each one bring out something in a character. for example if the character is speaking in a Aphonic perception it may sound if they are trying to quiet. they are possibly trying not to get caught from someone.

aphonic - no sound or a whisper. inability to set vocal folds into vibration, caused by lack of appropriate power (air pressure).
breathy - sound of air is apparent. Noise is caused by turbulence in or near glottis, caused by loose valving of laryngeal muscles.
covered - muffled or 'darkened' sound. Lips are rounded and or larynx is lowered to lower all formants so a stronger fundamental is obtained
creaky. It sounds like two hard surfaces rubbing against one another its  a complex pattern of vibrations in the vocal folds creates a intricate formation of subharmonics and modulations
diplophonic - pitch supplemented with another pitch one octave lower, roughness usually apparent
glottalized - clicking noise heard during voicing | forceful adduction or abduction of the vocal folds during speech
hoarse  - harsh, grating sound, combination of irregularity in vocal fold vibration and glottal noise generation
honky -  excessive nasality excessive pressure to the nasal air ways.
jitter - pitch sounds rough  fundamental frequency varies from cycle to cycle
pressed - harsh, often loud quality  vocal processes. causes low airflow and medial attention of the vocal folds
pulsed (fry) - sounds similar to food cooking in a hot frying pan.
