Inside the Guide: A Sneak Peek
The Four Rs of Vocal Technique
Respiration is the foundation of the Four Rs methodology:
-
Respiration — The power source
-
Registration — Vocal fold coordination
-
Resonation — Acoustic amplification
-
Articulation — Clarity and expression
Without correct breathing, everything else collapses. This guide gives you the foundation for vocal excellence.
The Science of Breath Support
Discover why:
-
“Belly breathing” is incomplete and often misleading
-
Your ribs must stay expanded during phonation
-
Silent inhalation prevents tension and maximizes capacity
-
The diaphragm’s role is misunderstood by most singers

Manuel Garcia (1805-1906) — Father of modern vocal pedagogy
