There are many tips to be found online that discuss various
methods that can be utilized to help those with respiratory conditions breathe
easier. If you are a voiceover artist,
however, you may find that reading through these hints and suggestions can
actually help you avoid awkward loss of breath when recording.
Destress This is often the first piece of advice given to those
who are struggling to control respiratory illness. The same can be very effective if you are
finding that you are having difficulty controlling your breathing while
recording voiceover. There are many ways
that you can reduce the stress in your life, but let’s assume, in this
instance, the anxiety is related to your job.
Very often voiceover artists have bad breathing habits when they are
trying to rush through the recording.
You should allow yourself plenty of time in the studio to create a clean
copy. Trouble arises when you overbook
yourself. Take care to have a regularly
updated calendar, so you can avoid this problem, and you can check off items as
they are completed.
Exercise Voiceover is more taxing than some would believe. It requires a lot of lung power to read aloud
for long periods of time. You can
improve your longevity in the recording studio by doing regular cardio
activity. Over time, cardio exercise increases
lung capacity and helps you achieve better endurance. All of that will extend into the recording
booth.
Practice Even breathing can be improved with regular
practice. Over time, you will find it
easier to do long recording sessions, simply because you are experienced. However, you can help that process along by
regularly doing breathing exercises.
There are videos online that can teach you proper ‘pursed lip’ and ‘diaphragmatic’
breathing exercises.
Decongest If you have a cold or allergies, you will find that
it is more difficult to create clean, clear recordings. Decongestants, antihistamines, hot tea,
certain essential oils, and hot showers can help you break up that troubling
congestion.
