How to just make your voice beautiful

A voice can be called a calling card of a person. It can be expressive or monotonous, low and deep, or high and loud. The voice is closely connected with our emotions and often gives out our state to the interlocutor.

The basis of a good voice is deep breathing. Any respiratory gymnastics will be useful: classic three-phase diaphragmatic breathing, breathing according to K.P. Buteyko, paradoxical respiratory gymnastics A.N. Strelnikova and others. The main thing is the regularity of breathing exercises.

After breathing exercises, several exercises can be done to relax the lower jaw and pharynx.

After articulation exercises, we proceed to the “tuning” of the voice. Yawn again, but now with his mouth closed. The lips are rounded, tightly closed, the teeth are open. Catch the feeling of a "rounded mouth." You can imagine that you have hot potatoes in your mouth, you are afraid to get burned, and therefore you maintain this rounded position. And now “turn on the voice” - start pulling the “M” sound for a long time. Try to direct the sound of your voice into the sky. And pull, pull the sound while breathing is enough. When breathing ends, take a breath and sing "MMMMMMMM" again. To enhance the sensation of the sound of the voice, add vibration: while "mooing" with the fingertips of both hands, pat on the lips, cheeks, forehead, crown, then - on the chest, stomach, back. In this case, try to "direct" the voice to that part of the body that you are currently patting. The duration of this exercise is 3-5 minutes.
