Part One contains three sets of exercises: those for voice, accompanied by exercises to support natural breathing and posture.

The three sets run in parallel through the course but are not tied to each other. Thus, for example, breathing exercises 7 to 9 in Unit 2 do not have to be done immediately after voice exercises 2 to 6 in that unit.

If you prefer, you can concentrate on the voice exercises first, and follow them part of the way through the course, or even to the end, before adding in the exercises on breathing and posture.

The breathing and posture practice will help the development of your Better Voice though, and can also be done at times when you cannot, or might not want to, be doing voice practice. So we would recommend you at least have a look at the breathing and posture exercises when you meet them in the course.

You will also want to revisit all three types of exercises from earlier in the course to reinforce and remind yourself of the techniques and good habits you are developing. The rewards will be worth it.
