Don’t I Already Know
How to Breathe?
• Onstage you need to inhale more deeply than you do in regular breathing. Why?
• Build volume (be louder)!
• Vary your vocal sounds
• Don’t run out of breath
• Don’t strain your voice

Why Controlled Breathing?
• In the beginning….• you feel awkward and unnatural on stage
• you find yourself running out of breath after a few lines
• After you learn controlled breathing…• You will have developed an effective voice on stage
• You will have the support you need to get you through performances
• You will have more natural body movements

Life’s Not Been the
Same in My Family1) Life’s not been the same in my family
Since the day that the new baby came,
My parents completely ignore me,
They scarcely remember my name.
2) The baby gets all their attention,
“Oh, isn’t she precious!” they croon,
They think she looks like an angel,
I think she resembles a prune.
3) They’re thrilled when she giggles and gurgles,
“She burped!” they exclaimed with delight,
They don’t even mind when she wakes us
With deafening screams in the night.
4) They seem to believe she’s a treasure,
There’s simply no way I agree,
I wish she’d stop being a baby
And start being older than me.
