VOLume

Points to remember when thinking about volume:

• Breath control and support

• A clear focused idea of where the voice is to reach

• A released and stress free approach that does not lead to forcing or shouting

• The ability to release and sustain breath, rather than to force it out of the body

• An understanding of the relationship between energy and breath. Energy should not be seen as leading to restrictive tension

• Working on the entire pitch and range, rather than on a narrow limited band

• Fine control of subtle range of sound , rather than the extremes of whisper and shout
