In this video for singers and performers, Oxygen Advantage® founder Patrick McKeown reveals the breathing techniques that can protect your vocal cords, enhance performance, and improve vocal endurance.
Key Takeaways for Vocal Health & Longevity:
✅ Protect Your Vocal Cords: Mouth breathing exposes your vocal cords to cold, dry, unfiltered air, increasing the risk of inflammation, dryness, and damage—especially if you snore or breathe through your mouth during sleep.
✅ Prioritize Nasal Breathing: Train yourself to breathe through your nose during rest, physical exercise, and sleep—this keeps your throat hydrated and vocal cords healthy.
✅ Be Strategic with Mouth Breathing: While singing requires mouth breathing at times, be mindful of your everyday breathing habits—don’t let excessive mouth breathing sabotage your voice.
✅ Reduce Performance Anxiety: Nasal breathing lowers stress, regulates heart rate, and increases focus, helping you deliver your best performance without tension.
🎶 Whether you're a professional singer, actor, or speaker, optimizing your breathing mechanics is key to longevity and vocal power. Stay tuned for more advanced breathing hacks in upcoming videos
