Further into Breath
Capacity Exercises
Learning to control support
Owning words
Taking the breath you need
This three-hour intensive will take the student into an even further understanding of their habits surrounding breath and physical tensions, and help them to understand how this affects the voice and causes strain. Straight forward and easy to remember Capacity exercises will leave students with all the tools they need to extend their support abilities and really be in control when they speak.
