Diaphragmatic Breathing
Inhale deeply by expanding your diaphragm rather than your chest, allowing the lungs to fill more fully with air. This provides better control over your breath for sustained singing or speaking.
The Farinelli Exercise
A three-part breathing exercise involving inhalation, holding the breath, and controlled exhalation. It improves breath control, capacity, and the efficient use of air.
Rib Reserve
Expand the ribs outward while keeping the shoulders relaxed. Use intercostal muscles to control the release of air, resulting in more sustained vocal production.
Appoggio Technique
Maintain a balance between the air pressure and the resistance of the breath. This creates a steady airflow for more consistent tone production.
Quick Sniff
Rapidly inhale through the nose, as if smelling a flower, to take a quick breath when there's limited time. This prevents the voice from being cut off abruptly.
Yoga Breathing
Based on pranayama practices, this focuses on controlled inhalation, retention, and exhalation to support relaxation and focus, enhancing vocal performance.
Alexander Technique
Promotes overall body awareness and free, natural breath. This helps reduce undue muscular tension that can impede the vocal process.
Humming
Produce a gentle, sustained humming sound with the mouth closed. This technique warms up the voice, and its resonant quality can improve pitch and tone.
Pilates Breathing
Incorporate lateral expansion of the ribcage with a focus on exhalation to support core strength. This supports better posture for singing or speaking.
Square Breathing
Inhale, hold, exhale, and hold each for an equal count. Often used to reduce stress and improve concentration, which can support better vocal performance.
Messaggio Breathing
Focus on a message or emotion while breathing to imbue the voice with intention. This enhances expressiveness and connection to the text.
Staccato Breathing
This teaches control of breath by practicing short, sharp bursts of sound or breath, improving precision in vocal onset and offset.
Back Breathing
Concentrate on expanding the back with air during inhalation. This encourages fuller breath support and can increase lung capacity.
Sirening
Glide through a wide range of pitches on one continuous breath to warm up the voice and improve vocal range and flexibility.
Lip Trills
Blow air through closed lips creating a trill sound. It relieves tension in the lips and face, and gently warms up the vocal cords.
