Inspiratory Muscle Training For The Performing Arts

Breath Control is Essential

Good breathing technique is essential in helping you give your best performance as an actor, musician, singer or dancer.

One essential technique is learning to understand when to take a breath. As a musician, breathing preparation is essential if your pitch and phrasing is to be fluid, and as an actor practicing breathing techniques for breath control will help you perform monologues and long speeches. As a singer, controlling your breath is essential in order to ensure you don’t run out of breath while performing, and efficient breathing is a component of body conditioning in dance.

Proper breathing execution and control of breathing are essential for singers, dancers and musicians.

Breath control, or breath support, can be improved by improving the strength and stamina of your breathing muscles. This is possible by using POWERbreathe IMT to improve your inspiratory muscles, and POWERbreathe EMT to improve your expiratory muscles. Furthermore, training your breathing muscles to become stronger, in turn, reduces breathing fatigue.

You can also learn to regulate your airflow and therefore control your exhalation by using the Flow-Ball Ultra breath control device.
