Have a listen to the extract recorded and you can read along with the attached pdfs. It's taken from Roger Love's 'Set Your voice Free' .

 I will have covered many of these points with you in 1-1 sessions so the information itself is useful revision. I am fascinated  by the connection between the speaking and the singing voice and how Michael Jackson's speaking voice was so very detached from his singing one. 

However, the primary aim here is to focus on breath control when speaking long phrases. Try reciting the extract out loud without taking  a breath at the start and waiting until the first or second comma before you take a natural breath in, the ribcage swinging open. This will fully engage the diaphragm and you will be speaking with the breath support we need as high voice users. Use all the air and take pauses to free up more space to breath. Try not to rush and really be present in what you are saying. 

Let me know how you get on and if you have any questions about the exercise.

This folder has affirmations on various themes. Please do not try to do them all at once.

If you know you need to slow down then you would want to focus on the 'And Breathe' collection whereas if you need a boost of self confidence then turn to the 'Find Your Speaking Voice' section.
