Voice Training: When Should I Exhale?

Sometimes voice training students ask me if they should exhale while they’re speaking or exhale when they finish the sentence. This video takes a brief look at how breath is involved in speaking and how speakers can use their breath more effectively.

I realised that it doesnt happen natural for me. when I put my hand right in front of my mouth while speaking, I dont quite feel that column of air coming out as opposed to when I just breathe out without speaking. and then i try to consciously breathe out a column of air while speaking but it feels weird when I need to articulate different words in a sentence at the same time

    @@dendi1076 That's a great observation on your part, and you're experimenting in exactly the right way, but starting with sentences is too big for a first step. Start with extended vowel sounds (ay, I, oh, ow). When you can move breath forward on single vowels, try extending simple words (way, why, whoa, wow). When that's working, move to phrases (go away, say hello, wave goodbye) and then short sentences. It will definitely feel weird at first but that's always true when you're learning a new skill. After a few weeks (months?) of practice you might be able to apply it to a conversation for brief periods of time. You've got the right idea, but you need to take smaller steps and give it more time.

    I struggle so much to have a generous breath while speaking, it's like I always trigger muscles to help it out, which causes me to become restricted. Is it an okay exercise to take the inhale, and then start to exhale first, then add voice a split second after the initiation of the exhale? I have found that it does help to encourage generous breathing. I just don't know if it's bad for my vocal cords or not.

    I like the way you're approaching this, making observations and experimenting. That makes me very confident you're going to figure it out. When it comes to using a generous breath while speaking, I think that lip flutters kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4Zh0dlrlZrSqqg.html and straw phonation kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yq5-p6OendXbkto.html are great ways to reinforce that feeling of using breath to produce sound/speech.

    I've heard of cluttering and read a bit about it, but it's not within my area of expertise. I recommend getting some advice from a speech therapist. I do get the sense that you might be expecting results too quickly. You might want to go back to some of those exercises that didn't seem to work and do them daily for 3-6 months if you haven't already. It takes weeks and months of diligent practice to change the speed of your speech. There's no quick cure, unfortunately. You could also check out this free mini course ovyaea31.pages.infusionsoft.net/ Practice those exercises for at least a month and see if things start improving. If so, you might find a more complete course of training to be helpful.
