Breathing with Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your hand\u2014or even a light object\u2014on your diaphragm as you breathe or read aloud. Keeping steady pressure ensures you\u2019re supporting your voice correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Resonance Vocal Warm-Ups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hum until you feel vibrations in your chest, then shift them into your face and throat. This helps you project with energy and clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.
