filtered, warmed and moisturized. Abdominal diaphragmatic breathing helps in
good voice projection.
Singing with a sore
throat – avoid talking and singing when you have
a cold.
Relaxation
- Use a good rate of speech and open mouth while speaking. Hold your head
straight when you talk. Do not strain the muscles of the face, neck and
shoulders while talking and singing.
Speaking at extremes
- Talking extremely loud, whispering and talking in an excessively
high or low pitch.
Vocal warm-ups -

your throat or sneeze with forceful voicing.
