Susan Swenson explains how to develop breath support, how to execute difficult vocal techniques, sustain notes, understand breathing anatomy, sense diaphragm movement, control note attack and release, manage air pressure and be in command of pitch. Not only does this knowledge benefit singing or speaking, but it can be applied to sports or general health practice. You can run or swim twice as far. Extra oxygen intake increases overall vitality.
