So who is this "Megabreather" ? The first Swedish singer to take up my mini- breathing routine - the " REAL Anna Larsson "- I'm teasing.....
Why ? Because her home page is = www.annarlarsson.nu Not paying attention to detail one day, I typed .com - NOT .nu and up popped another Anna Larsson - try it and compare the difference ! .com annalarsson has exactly the kind of muscular development of the "six pack" which I think would be too much for a singer - maybe we should all get together and find out .....
From the first meeting with annalarsson.nu , it was clear that my advice was being absorbed and her beloved singing teacher, Florence Desellius, was in complete agreement with my ideas - she actually encouranged Anna to work with me as often as possible - and that is what has happened......
What a refreshing open minded learner - no questioning - "WHY should I do THAT ?" (To which I usually suggest you try it and find out ! Then I explain, if neccessary, why it works. )
Anna's instinct has always accepted the changes which certain physical movements activate into connecting her voice with breathing - that is a truly valuable gift, and is responsible for much of her success - dare I add....(Anna is far from a learner nowadays - a consummate creative artist on the cosmic level...!!!)
Most of us are not blessed with this facility, but we can all develop whatever talent we possess ,and really enjoy the art of singing........another pet subject - the - the ART of singing ......another day......
Have fun with your voice - laughter is one of the best breathing exercises..I speak from experience.......
Place hands on the lower rib cage, open the rib cage without breathing in - simply opening them will draw in about seven to ten seconds of air, preferably through the nose - all one needs for the average sung - or spoken phrase .
TRUST it... release the air through pursed lips very slowly as you let the ribs close in gently and naturally - you're well on the way to a life sustaining breathing technique - congratulations ....
