845 – Birthday Candles

2023.04.25 – 0845 – Birthday Candles

Birthday candles

Stand as previously described, with your feet firmly on the floor shoulder-width apart, knees very slightly bent rather than locked, with dropped and relaxed shoulders.

·        Put your hands on your diaphragm area to help you feel and picture the following process

·        Now blow out some imaginary candles on a cake, with short sharp, exaggerated panting bursts of air… you should see and feel a lot of movement in your diaphragm as you do this

·        Now do this again with some sound: “huh huh huh” to engage the vocal folds as well as the abdominal muscles. You should get 10-20 sounds out per breath before running out of air. If you aren’t, focus on deeper inhalation and controlling the amount of air you exhale with each sound.

·        Repeat with a series of staccato “ch” sounds
