Suzanne’s Quick Tips Episode #6: Breath support
Episode description
Today’s topic is breath support. Sometimes when we’re in an important meeting, an interview or maybe a class presentation, we might find that we’re kind of nervous, right? Our nerves go up, our body temperature goes up. Our breathing starts getting shallow. And we tend not to have a lot of what we call vocal presence and breath support.
Quick tip takeaways
* Breath support is using our lungs and diaphragm efficiently so that we don’t damage our vocal folds and so that we have vocal presence.
* Vocal presence is having a loud enough, yet supported enough voice that fills the room and feels relaxed and at ease when you are speaking.
* Remember to try stretching your back body when filling up your lungs so that you use the full capacity of your inhalation.
