By learning how to control and manipulate these different elements, you can develop a more powerful, versatile, and expressive voice.One of the most fundamental aspects of vocal development is proper breathing technique. The way you breathe directly impacts the quality and strength of your voice, so it is essential to develop good habits when it comes to breathing for speaking or singing. To improve your breath control, start by practicing diaphragmatic breathing, also known as belly breathing. This involves using your diaphragm (a dome-shaped muscle located below your ribs) to inflate and deflate your lungs, rather than relying on shallow chest breathing. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, lie on your back with one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your stomach to rise as you fill your lungs with air.
