Today for our physical session we had been moved into the dance studio. We made on our voice unit by having a voice work shop with Daniel. We mainly focused on our breathing. A different kind of breathing where you are able to fill your stomach and lungs with oxygen, not just our lungs like on a day to day basis. It was quite tricky as first to get the hand of breathing using different parts of the body but at the end it was very helpful. We completed an exercise were we breathed in for 4 counts, held for 4 counts and then we breathed out for 16, we then repeated but instead of breathing out for 16 we breathed out for 32. Managing to inhale enough oxygen to breath out for 32 was very tricky, however by the end of the session when we had all learnt to fill our stomach and lungs, we could inhale a lot more oxygen there for were able to breath out for longer.
At the start of the session the longest i could breath out for was 25 counts,
At the end of the session i managed to up my breath to 39 counts.
We wrote down our results and throughout the unit we will practice breathing and hopefully by the end our results will of increased.
During the session we also tried out some tongue twisters. I wasn't very good at grasping the tongue twisters therefore need a lot more practice.
Listening to tongue twisters is one way to improve your English pronunciation. http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/tongue-twisters
