Breathing For Singers
This class is a 60 minute breath class compiled of a group of ever changing exercises to strengthen breath support in its relation to using the voice. Our voice depends on the breath, so strengthening our ability to sustain healthy singing and projected speaking without strain around the delicate vocal folds is essential. In this 60 minute class we will focus on breathing using our abdominal muscles, learn to rely less on the chest and shoulders for breath, deepen and expand our lung capacity, bring awareness to our body in ways that are healthy and supportive, and then use the breath to make sound. This is a workout for your lungs and all of the muscles called in to support them. If you want to move past any perceived limits with your breath or your voice, this is a perfect place to start.
I have been training my voice and breath for 25 years.
The more I teach, the more I realized how limited most adults breath capacity is. Without training our breath mechanisms to do more, go deeper, sustain further, we cut ourselves off from our vocal potential. To fully realize our ability for expression we have to be able to trust the breath to hold us. This physical and psychological bodily function is automatic, yet we have the ability to train and expand it if we so wish.
This is an in person class in My Room, walking distance from Penn Station, with remote options as we see fit, or gain interest.
