ANSWER:
Follow the link below for some answers to questions previously asked about training as an actor.
On that page, you’ll find an exercise for voice placement and relaxing your voice, as well as some information on how to work on a Standard American Accent, if you need it. You’ll also see a book I like for diction, Speak With Distinction (Textbook and CD)
