Voices with Breathing Problems? Check These Areas
Breath is the power source for the voice. Not having enough breath or not having control of breath for singing or speaking can cause all kinds of vocal problems, including:
- running out of breath (can't finish phrases well)
- not having enough volume (weak, quiet voice)
- strained or fatigued voice (from overblowing cords and/or tightening throat)
- lack of vocal control (causing problems with pitch, rhythm, tone, vocal licks, volume intensity, and more)
- numbness of performance (from too much worry/focus on breath)
- Check your upper spine...
- Check your hands and arms...
- Check your head
- Check your knees
- Check your belly
- Check your energy
- Check your breathing techniques

Judy, you always give such good advice. Love your posts.
May I add, don't smoke, even a little. And stay away from the second hand stuff as much as you can.

You are SO very right, Dr. Hubbard. It matters- one can never sing to the best of which they are capable if they smoke. It of course affects not only the breathing but also the health of the larynx. This fact alone can help folks dedicated to vocal excellence quit. Thank you for the reminder!
