  • As a Chinese teacher who talks too much everyday, this kind of breathing way undoubtly saves my caree. you won't believe that, I almost wanna change my caree as i suffered a server thraot damage.however, i never feel throat pain anymore after i followed your way to breath when i speak Chinese. Thank you so much. please look at my video on my channel, I tried to follow your breathing way to read English text. i am not sure whether i did it right. could you tell me does it sound more better?

  • why is it that only "intelligent" mammals stop this type of breathing??

  • @brandojazz

    My apologies. I'm not getting notifications for all of my comments. To answer your question -- because we imitate our loved ones in our early developmental years and they're not doing it correctly either.

  • @brandojazz  when they sleep, as the dog does, humans also use the diaphragm to breathe in. my little 7 year old daughter also uses it when she sings with full voice. my 16 year old singing students usually don't use it any more. so something must have happend in the mean time... one basic wrong idea that may lead to this wrong habit of high clavicular breathing is the idea that it takes a lot of air to sing (speak), whereas the contrary is the case,and so people try to fill their lungs as mad.

  • How to deal with nasal voice?

  • @stefy755

    You need to enunciate your words along the floor of your mouth instead of up through your nasal passages.

  • @TheVoiceLady I think i already do that, but for some reason it's still nasal. Thank you for the answer by the way.

  • @stefy755

    The question might be if you really are nasal. Try this, gently touch the side of your nose -- no pressure -- and say the word key and see if you feel vibrations. Let me know

  • @TheVoiceLady I don't know if I did it right, but I hear no vibration.

  • @stefy755

    Stefy, I doubt if you are really nasal since your nose is not vibrating on the long e sound.. Is it possible, however, that you are denasal in which you sound like you have a cold or congestion in your passages. Allergies?

  • @TheVoiceLady Eheh not really. i don't know, it just sounds nasal to me. Thank you really much anyways for your answers.

  • I've breathed from my diaphragm since I could remember, but I still have a high whiny voice and wish it was deeper :(

  • @Shakeitupyes ,

    You may be breathing properly, but you are not using your chest to power your voice..

  • No, Boucher is my Lab, named after Brian Boucher, a hockey goalie for the Flyers.

  • Isn't Bouchet a French Baroque painter? lol I took art history classes.

  • Man, listening to her speak if like WHAMMM!!! You can't quite tell what it is.

  • Thank you very much for your clarity.

  • She's fierce

  • Thank you for posting :-)

  • I am a public speaking professor and am having my summer online communication students study Nancy's Daniel's videos here on YouTube. Very valuable addition to our course! Thanks, Nancy!

  • Very informative video and an innovative idea to use dogs as a demo on breathing. I've watched all five of her videos and learned a lot about proper breathing. Hope to see more about voice improvement.
