0To improve your voice projection, you can work on a daily basis with the Breathing exercises.
Breathing exercises:
1. Stand up, shoulders back, hands on your stomach. Let your stomach muscles relax.
2. Breathe in through your nose and fill up your abdomen first (you should feel and see it
expand), then your ribs and all the way up to your chin.
3. Hold this breath and count until ten.
4. Now exhale slowly. As you exhale, keep your ribs expanded and tighten your abdomen. The
lower abdominal muscles should come in first as though you were rolling up a tube of
toothpaste.
Tip 1) While you are breathing, check your shoulders, they should not be going up, and your
stomach should be going out.
Tip 2) Practice breathing when you are about to go to sleep. When you are lying down, it is
easier to isolate the abdominal muscles and strengthen them for proper breathing. (You can
even put a book on your abdomen to exaggerate the way you use those muscles for even
better awareness of how to do this correctly. Watch the book go up and down as you breathe
“with your stomach.”). It is also an excellent relaxation exercises before going to sleep!
Picture.
Repeat the exercises daily, for example, in front of the mirror (to be sure you’re not breathing with the shoulders). You’ll soon improve your voice quality and projection. Ideally, practice regularly while speaking. Use a text, a prepared speech, practice in front of the mirror and focus on your breathing and voice. It must become a routine if you really want to improve. You can start right now, sitting in your chair.
Happy Singing!
