Parkinson's Speech Warm-Up: Belly Breaths, Speech Pacing & Controlling Loudness

It's important to warm up your respiratory (breathing), phonatory (voicing) and articulatory (mouth) muscles prior to doing your Parkinson's voice exercises. Powering your strong voice from a deep belly breath ensures that you are able to project your voice without straining or pushing. Those vocal folds are very delicate! Join SLP Sarah as she leads you through a six minute warm up including diaphragmatic breaths, speech pacing for better fluency and articulation exercises.
