Tension in a performer, can be passed on to other members of the group.
Actors need to be relaxed to use their bodies well; not only in drama, but also in carrying out their daily routines with maximum efficiency.
Tension usually shows itself first in the voice, because breathing is shallow and the muscles of the larynx (part of the air passage to the lungs that contains the vocal chords) are tensed.
Actors must become relaxed, so that they do their activities more comfortably, be freer with their movements, overcome inhibitions and feel more comfortable.
