0Do it Exercise:
Sit towards the edge of your chair, feet touching the floor and cup your chin in your hands as you place your
elbows on each knee. Feel your lower body, especially your waist and back expand as you inhale. Exhale
slowly on an “ss” sound, keeping that same feeling of low body expansion.
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.
Note:
These are posted for educational use only. They do not substitute for actual voice lessons. These
are done by yourself at your own risk, although it is my intention that they help you.
