Why Breath and Voice?
Breathing exercises are foundational for vocal work, but also as a daily practice for helping us calm and regulate our nervous systems.
The Voice is connected to the Vagus Nerve – the longest nerve in the body which connects to all our body organs. Learning to use our voice as a tool for releasing and rewiring thoughts and emotions is a powerful practice which we’ll introduce you to here.

Learning to Use Your Voice
In this section we’re going to introduce you to some vocal exercise and practices which can help you understand how to use your voice to connect to and release emotions through your body.
It’s the beginning of understanding how to use your voice therapeutically. You don’t have to be a singer and there are no ‘wrong’ sounds here. The two exercises act as a preparation to the full practice in the third track. Feel free to explore these in whatever way you’re most comfortable.
