                    BREATHING TO SPEAK
     Breathing to sustain life is primary and automatic — we’re not
always conscious of breathing. Only secondarily do we breathe to
speak. In breathing for speech, we form intelligible vocal sounds (pho-
nation) during the process of exhalation. (Try to speak intelligibly
while inhaling and see what happens.) When we breathe to speak we
control the process of exhalation.
Exercises for Breath Control
     In breathing to speak an easy, natural, and flexible control of your
exhalation will help you achieve effective vocal production.
