Do it Excercise :
Stand up and try to exhale completely—blowing out all of your air. Let your stomach area (abdominals) get
very tight as you exhale like this. Now relax your abdominal muscles and throat completely as the inhale
occurs. Feel your lower body expand as the breath comes in. This should be passive. You will "inflate" like an
air cushion low in the body if you're doing this correctly.
Note:
Do not worry if low-abdominal breathing doesn’t feel as “deep” as clavicular- “stomach pushed-in chest
high” inhalation. What you are feeling is a decrease in tension-which is good!
You are not ready to start warming up your voice until your body has found good alignment, posture and breath.
Think of an artist stretchimg her canvas! Now you are ready to start painting.

are done by yourself at your own risk, although it is my intention that they help you.
