Dr Gillyanne Kayes & Jeremy Fisher take a deeper breath and dive lower into part 2 of breathing techniques for singers & speakers.

And we share

• Breathing and tongue position (with demonstrations)
• Is nose breathing better than mouth breathing for singers?
• Is there a difference in pressure between inhaling through the nose and through the mouth?
• Breathing, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system
• Why nasal breathing DOESN’T raise the soft palate
• Different breathing patterns (square, 2-1, coherent) and what they can teach you about your nervous system
• And Gillyanne and Jeremy play a game of breath inflection
