Perform daily facial exercises. Tighten your mouth muscles and say, "ee, ah, oo," stretching the mouth muscles as you say the sounds. Repeat a few times. Then, open your mouth and roll your tongue, stretching the mouth muscles as you hold that position. To stretch the neck, tilt your head up, then down, then move the head left and right. Close your teeth and pull back your lips in an exaggerated smile, and hold that pose for a few moments.
