The Effect of Breath on Voice and Speech (outside classroom)

      I learned about the effect of Breath on Voice and Speech. The voice is responsive to emotions and sometimes gets 'blocked', which can prevent or hinder the expression of a range of feelings.  However, it is possible to use physical exercise to help produce a more flexible voice, in the same way that people who use vocal sounds professionally take lessons, to ensure that their voices are kept in a versatile condition and ready to vocalise a range of sounds.
     
Good breathing is essential for two reasons:

       By using full lung capacity the breath will support the voice and the voice will become richer, fuller and stronger.  This will benefit individuals who have a small voice and who worry that they cannot be heard when speaking to a group of people.  Volume is controlled in the abdomen not in the throat, so breathing to full strength will allow for greater control of the voice.
      Breathing deeply and rhythmically has a calming and therapeutic effect as it releases tension and promotes relaxation.  Individuals who are relaxed are more balanced, receptive and confident.  It is no coincidence that several religions use rhythmic breathing techniques such as meditation, yoga and silent contemplation, and vocal release in the form of chants, mantras or hymn singing as aids to their devotions.  By easing physical tension, mental stress decreases and the mind is effectively freed to follow creative pursuits.
     Conclustion,  When under stress an individual's breathing pattern will change.  When your muscles are tense you cannot use your lungs to their full capacity, when a person is frightened or nervous, a common symptom is tension in the neck and shoulders.  This occurs because, when under pressure, over-breathing tends to occur.  Plenty of air is inhaled, but with fast breathing there is not enough time to exhale and relax.
