This is the first of four films demonstrating how to warm up your voice, focusing on breathing exercises. Breathing exercises are an essential start to any vocal warm-up; they organise the breathing muscles, extend the capacity of the voice and give a sense of the breath very deep inside the body. Jeannette Nelson is the Head of Voice at the National Theatre.
