Video: A Common Mistake in Breathing

Hi, this is Cynthia, your voice coach.

I just finished a workshop today. I’d like to address one of the most common mistakes the participants made in breathing. That is, trying too hard and forcing the breath. Like this one.

Breathing is a process of allowing the air to go in and out.

Instead of trying too hard, relax, no tension, and allow the air to go in and out.

Breathing is also a process of feeling the body, instead of thinking too hard in your head.

When you practice breathing with the support of your diaphragm through an open mouth, relax, be open and allow the air to go in and out.

Happy breathing!
