Singing Technique and Proper Posture:
In order for breathing to flow fluently, posture is important. This exercise will help straighten your posture.
Put your back to the wall with your heels touching the wall. Put your knees a comfortable distance apart and keep your head centered on the shoulders not pressed against the wall. Lengthen your knees down until the small of the back is flat against the wall.
a. Breathe in on 6. Release the diaphragm breathe into the diaphragm, release, breathe in making sure the rib cage stays expanded while the diaphragm works.
b. Make sure the voice is centered (using your speaking voice) practice with open AH’s.
c. Practice doing other desirable vocal exercises such as AY, EE, I, OH, and OO.
d. When ready straighten knees and walk away from the wall. Using a long mirror you can see perfect posture and you will also feel as if you have grown an inch taller.
