1. The main reason for short breath is releasing too much air when singing, either through incorrect breath support &/or weak adduction of VF's.
2. If the breath support system isn't functioning correctly & vocal folds are not closing properly, air is wasted & longer phrases not possible.
3. FACT: Adults cannot increase their lung capacity by exercising or by any other means. Singers have to manage & SUPPORT their airflow!
4. Asthma & Heart Conditions can mean oxygen uptake is not as efficient. Singers will want to breath more frequently in such cases.
5.We should not be using any more air for Singing than Speaking! Sustained spoken exercises are very useful in developing breath management.
