Practice That Breathing!

 An invaluable tool to help you create a good clear speaking ( or singing) voice is proper breathing and here's a little exercise to help you develop that.  The benefits to proper breath control or enormous as it helps you not only to develop a good clear voice but also helps you to relax and create a feeling of well-being.

It is done very easily once you have corrected your posture to a natural position. All you have to do is draw in air through your nose  to a count of three.

Suspend this breath in the back of your throat, purse your lips  to the relaxed count of five. Listen to the escaping air and try to keep t he flow even to that count of  three to five. Whatever feels comfortable.

Some persons  use their vocal sounds to create varied  sounds as they exhale in this way such as a: "S" "Z" or a rolled "R" or "V" sounds.   Others humm as they practice this controlled exhaling. It's all up to what you find easiest.

The length of both your inhaling and exhaling to gradually be extended as you gain more confident and practice.  Just don't force yourself beyond what you feel comfortable.

This basic type of breathing practice is exactly quite easy to do and can be done  in a variety of situations throughout the day such as when you are walking down the run -- or even when waiting for that traffic light to turn green as you drive to or from work.
