voice
Ok someone please help. I'm in this play and at one point I'm supposed to lose my voice. My director told me to scream for a few minutes, but that's not working. Is there any other way to help "lose your voice"?? Please help!!

Oh, I wouldn't try to scream for a few minutes at all and make yourself lose your voice. For one, like you said that rarely even works unless you're screaming at like a concert or something, and for the fact, that's probably damaging your throat.
I would suggest just keep practicing controling your voice and hold back your voice whenever you're talking, and make it sound lower and a little raspier. Basically, like you're whispering in a way.
I hope I helped.

NEVER actually try to make yourself lose your voice. It's vocally damaging and a shockingly stupid thing for a director to tell someone to do.
Anyway.
If you like, tighten your throat and try to stop the actual sound from coming through when you speak so it's mostly air...or like, half whisper, half talk...Or just be really lazy about supporting your voice. Depends on how your director wants you to sound. If he wants you to sound hoarse, try the throat tightening thing. If he just wants you quiet, then be lazy about support.
Whatever you do, don't actually lose your voice unless you can't avoid it.
If you want like a better explanation of the tightening the throat, drop one in my inbox.

never try to lose your voice, it isnt safe and can cause a lot of damage, beleive me. the best way is to try to develope a raspy accent in which it sounds like you dont have much of a voice. USE ACTING! tell your director you dont feel safe losing your voice and that it isnt healthy. but its your choice.
