Continue humming once you do, attempting to increase the vibration. Next move the pitch slightly higher; pay attention to how your head feels. Let your mouth open. Hum until you feel the vibration in your tongue and lips, behind and above your mouth. Continue humming once you do, attempting to increase the vibration. Finally, return to your chest once more. Repeat the whole exercise, always ending with your chest in order to develop a full, luscious sound. Note: In this exercise, avoid tension at all costs. Breath frequently, and stop if you get light headed.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1247564

19. Projection Exercise • Sitting straight, place one hand on your belly and another behind your back opposite your hand on your belly. Breath in, attempting to move both hands out as far as possible (it takes a lot of strength to get your hand on your back to move; don't worry if it doesn't). This is belly breathing. Notice how it feels; this is how you want to breath when you speak in order to use your full lung capacity and get the fullest, strongest, and richest sound. • Exhale quickly, but make no sound as you do so. Sound is an indication of tension. • Breath in again. Now, when you exhale, say the first letter of the alphabet. Continue until you reach Z. As you progress through the alphabet, pretend that with each letter you are speaking to a target farther and farther away. By the time you reach the end, you should be very loud and strong. If you're still breathing right, you will be stronger than you could be breathing normally.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1247564
