Welcome to the Breathing Bootcamp course! This video offers a bit of insight regarding how this voice-strengthening process works.
Explore how sound emerges from the space of the throat, torso, and face shapes, not just the vocal folds, and anchor the inhale to open space for a powerful sound.
Direct breath to the pelvis to anchor the diaphragm and lengthen the spine, opening the rib cage. Use three anchor points—pelvis, hips, and buttocks—to root the breath for vocal support.
Discover how singing from the diamond at the solar plexus, through the gas trim, energizes the voice by coordinating the diaphragm and abdominal wall, with lat engagement for power.
open the throat to unlock greater resonance and upper range, protect the voice, and ease inhalation across genres.
Learn to coordinate the open throat space and pharynx through guided yawns, silent exhalations, and pre-yawn inhalations to warm up the voice and improve breath flow.
Learn to coordinate breathing with mouth and throat shapes using respiratory resistance, exploring buzzing tones versus open-mouth vocalization to increase pharyngeal openness and vocal clarity.
Learn a conditioning warm-up that teaches you to block sound with the mouth, build torso pressure, and open throat space through vowel variation for a freer singing voice.
Explore the delicate balance of breath control, learning to push and release within a moving breath, and use bubble singing with water and straw to program dynamic power.
This course contains 10 step-by-step lessons designed to help you maximize your vocal potential by tapping into the natural power source of your breath. These videos contain the very same techniques taught to my private clients: lead cast members in Broadway Musicals like Hamilton; finalists/winners of voice competitions like The Voice, The X Factor, and Sunday Best; actors on shows like The Magicians, Star, and Grey's Anatomy; and major label recording artists of all genres. We believe in the old Italian saying, "Chi sa respirare, sa cantare"--He who knows how to breathe, knows how to sing!
