In this episode, we will talk about breath capacity for voicing, and understand it from a holistic perspective, rather than from a mechanical aspect. I will also share some simple exercises to increase our breath capacity that we can easily incorporate into our daily routines.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
– Why breath capacity is part of a more extensive conversation than just increasing our breath range
– The things we should consider before starting breath capacity training
– Three simple exercises to improve breath capacity
Understanding that breath capacity is much more than the need to have bigger loads of air coming in or out is crucial. We must consider things like breathing habits, familiarising with the length of the words, being aware of the air necessary to voice those phrases or words, and paying attention to the out-breath before the in-breath.
