    This document discusses diaphragmatic-abdominal breathing and its benefits for voice production. It provides exercises to improve breath control and vocal strength, including prolonging vowel sounds on inhaled breath, counting aloud until breath is exhausted, and saying "Hep!" forcefully with abdominal contraction. The final exercises involve reading passages aloud on a single breath and memorizing a selection while using diaphragmatic breathing.

    VOICE PRODUCTION

    DIAPHRAGMATIC-ABDOMINAL
    BREATHING
    Abdominal Wall

    BENEFITS OF BREATH CONTROL

    1. Your speech will show ease in voice


    production.
    2. You can increase the strength of your
    voice so that you can be heard and
    understood clearly over some distance.
    3. You can adjust the amount of air inhaled to
    the length of the phrases in your speech.
    EXERCISES

    1. Take a deep breath; them sound ah in a full voice and


    prolong it until the breath is exhausted. Repeat the exercise
    daily until you get maximum duration (about 20 to 30
    seconds) of the vowel sound on a single breath.

    2. Take a deep breath; then count slowly in a full voice – “one,


    two, three, etc.” – until the breath is exhausted. Continue the
    exercise daily until you can
    count aloud to fifteen or more without gasping at the end of
    the count.
    3. Take a deep breath; the expel the air from your lungs by
    sounding “Hep!” with a good deal of force. Practice saying
    “Hep!” as many times as you can on a single breath. Place
    your hand on your abdomen to make sure that there is a
    sharp inward contraction of the muscle wall synchronous
    with the chest contraction on each “Hep!” that you sound
    off. Keep the tones clear and forceful.
    4. From the classroom platform, slowly repeat the question -
    “What can you do to save energy?” – three times each on
    separate breath. First, use small inhalation and control the
    exhalation so that the words are loud enough to carry to
    listeners on the middle row. Finally, imagine you are
    speaking to some students two classrooms away. Do the
    exercise five times.
    avoid tightening the throat and raising the pitch level as
    you increase your strength of tone. Make each successive
    question louder by taking a deeper inhalation than the time
    before and, on exhalation, by pulling inward more firmly with
    your abdominal muscles. Remember, do not shout! Get your
    diaphragm to support the breath which will support your
    voice.

    5. The following passage is divided into short thought units by


    means of diagonal bars. Take a deep breath and read the
    selection aloud. Try to read as many words as possible on a
    single breath. Use a normal conversational tempo; do not
    accelerate your reading while each breath is gradually used
    up. Keep a record of your daily scores until a maximum
    breath duration of about 30 to 40 words is reached.
    6. Study thoroughly the full meaning of the selection
    in the preceding exercise. Mark with a double (//)
    all the breathing spaces. Then memorize the
    passage and practice delivering it, making full use
    of diaphragmatic-abdominal breathing. Try
    to keep your voice clear and forceful.
    PHONATION
    The larynx, located behind
    the Adam’s apple in the neck,
    catches the stream of exhaled
    breath and, by means of tiny
    vocal folds, transforms it into
    vocal sound.
