Welcome back to Five Essentials for Transforming Your Voice. đ
What did you think about the Essential No. 1?
Maybe that information was entirely new to you? Maybe youâve heard it before? Regardless, I hope youâll spend some time with it, really using it as a framework for investigating your voice. If you do, youâll find out so much about what your voice is asking for when it comes to change!
Ok, but today is a new day and youâre back for more⌠so here it is. While every car đ requires an engine that really runs, most engines run with gas! (This analogy might breakdown in a few years. đ) So, letâs talk about what kind of gas youâre putting in your car and how to make sure it is efficient!
Essential No. 2
Breath! Who knew? You did.
Finding a good breath in singing is like coming home.
But, chances are youâve felt confused about your breath. We all have. Itâs confusing! And a lot of the information online only makes it more so, so here are a few highlights from this video to keep you on track.
Your breath is like gas in your car. The engine canât run without it, but the gas canât make the car run if the engine isnât working right.
Breath and register are reciprocal. They need each other and the way in which you experience the breath in your body has to do with vocal fold closure, or REGISTER! (register, registerâŚ)
Breathing well for singing is as simple starts with expanding your torso.
Then, you have to relax your belly when you breath in.
From there? Stay expanded. DONâT COLLAPSE!
Itâs all easy, except itâs kinda hard if youâve developed some habits that donât necessarily honor this natural function of your body.
Oh, and if you are a trauma survivor or suffer from anxiety etc. breathing may be especially tricky. It is important that you work with a professional to get feedback to find a freer, easier breath in your body because not only with this help your voice, but it may open up all of your life.
Now look, thereâs a lot more to this, but these are the essentials.
The fastest way in.
