Hello friends, Jaime Vendera here. Now that the election is over, we can discuss another important matter-singing, ha-ha. All jokes aside, today I want to focus on something as important as singing- your breathing. As you know, air is the singer's fuel and how well we utilize our fuel will decide whether we can sing all night long and sustain endless notes, or end up falling short at the end of every other vocal line, gasp for the high notes, lose vocal power, and blow our voices out before the end of the night. Luckily, many of you know how serious I take breathing, especially with my Ultimate Breathing Workout exercises, which have helped many singers build serious breath power. Many of you can already attest to this fact, having mastered the Ultimate Breathing Workout by studying my book. In fact, many singers who've used my exercises have told me personally how they've heard gig after gig, "WOW, that singer has a serious set of lungs!”

Still, I've been asked questions about my breathing exercises over the years from singers wondering if they were performing each exercise correctly. I understand how tough it can be to learn from a book, so I decided to release a video which thoroughly explains my breathing exercises. Beyond the Ultimate Breathing Workout, Video #2 from my Beyond the Voice series, is a short, but concise 25-minute instructional video which covers the main nine exercise breathing system from my book, The Ultimate Breathing Workout, as well as explains the Applied Breathing Isometrics and Breath Builder exercises, and shows you an easy way to use the PTD-1 Breath trainer daily.

We shot this video outdoors on a beautiful day so that I could explain these exercises while filling up on a fresh, clean tank of air because I felt that the open air would help to set the scene and make this lesson enjoyable. In my opinion, Beyond the Ultimate Breathing Workout is a fun, whimsical, wannabe Zen-like way to make sure you’re doing your breathing exercises correctly. I hope you enjoy learning from this instructional video just as much as I enjoyed filming it. So, if you need more Ultimate Breathing Workout guidance, something that takes you beyond the pages of The Ultimate Breathing workout, and you're ready to become a breathing machine, check out Video #2 in the Beyond the Voice series at http://venderapublishing.com/beyondthevoice/.

WOW! I didn't know either of these videos existed. Its exactly what I'm looking for but didn't know it! Thanks for producing these!

Thanks Dave. IMO they won't blow your mind. I am trying to keep them as simplistic as possible but that will be much harder now I'm filming the range exercises;)

Very cool Jaime; congrats :)

That was the plan, Skully;) I had a student who'd actually taken Skype lessons with me call to say he was a little disappointed in the first video, expecting i t to be revolutionary. So, I asked him, "Would you have been disappointed if you'd not studied with me?" He replied, "No, it would be perfect for people beginning." Precisely;)

As with anything I release, I'd rather not make it difficult. Singing isn't rocket surgery and doesn't require 422 newly created terms to explain how to sing. You don' need a masters degree in internal biology to sing. You need to find a way to make voice strengthening as easy as possible, then sing, plain and simple;) so, I hope you guys enjoy this easy, but very effective video training series:)

Thanks Phil...Have you that copy of RYV2 soon as well. Just waiting on my interior PDF designer so we can launch it. Yes, I've been asked for years to release videos, so I wanted it stripped down and in your face instead of this new fad of creating tons of new terminology to explain the same old thing. I'm just not intelligent enough to spin new ways to tell you how to hit a high notes besides practice, practice, practice;)
