2/17/2011 Rose

Rose is an experienced musical theater singer, often cast as a lead in the local productions. She's been with me for about a year, starting as a belter, and has been finding her head voice so she can audition for ingenue roles.  Yesterday, she discovered that her dance training regarding posture for head and shoulders (ie. back and long) has been a major inhibitor of her breathing.  Her upper back, upper chest and neck muscles were so tight that the ribs and lung underneath could not move to draw in air.  She discovered that "shoulders" are actually part of her arm structure rather than her torso structure and that her arms are attached to her body in front at her sternum (breatbone).  She has a history of getting lightheaded when breathing deep - I'm wondering if this new release will take care of that issue.
