Breathe deeply. Good vocal maintenance is dependent upon lots of air. Now that good posture is becoming a habit, work on taking low, deep breaths. Try these:
a. Create and imaginary belt with long balloons attached and inch apart all the way around (think fun-balloon-animal balloons). Place the imaginary belt around your middle, level with your belly button. Now pretend that the balloons can be filled up with your breath. Inhale low enough and deeply enough to fill those balloons. Try this exercise several times a day. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your air capacity will increase. Greater air volume is a key element of proper vocal maintenance.
b. Choose a spot across the room from you about the size of a push pin. Focus on the spot, purse your lips, and blow out air through constricted lips as if your air is a laser burning a hole through the middle of the pin. Notice how the muscles around your mid-section respond with tension. This is the basis for good breath support.
