About this title

Synopsis

Stop running out of air before the phrase ends.

If long phrases fall apart, sustained notes fade, or demanding songs leave you struggling for breath, The Ultimate Breathing Workout gives you a focused training system created specifically for singers.

Written by world-renowned vocal coach and glass-shattering MythBusters performer Jaime Vendera, this progressive nine-step program helps vocalists develop better breath management, airflow control, physical coordination, and singing stamina. Rather than offering random breathing tricks, the book provides a structured routine you can practice, measure, and improve over time.

Inside The Ultimate Breathing Workout, you will learn how to:

- Manage your breath more efficiently while singing

- Develop better control over inhalation and exhalation

- Build coordination and stamina in the muscles involved in breathing

- Sustain notes and musical phrases longer with less wasted air

- Maintain steadier airflow through demanding vocal passages

- Track your progress with a structured breathing chart

- Advance into the Breath Builders and Applied Breathing Isometrics

- Apply breath training to rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances

This compact 80-page manual also includes 10 audio examples that demonstrate the exercises and help guide your practice. Access information for the audio examples is provided inside the book.

The Ultimate Breathing Workout can be used as a standalone breathing program or as a companion to Raise Your Voice. It will not replace vocal technique, but it can help train the physical fuel system that supports longer, louder, and more demanding singing.

Whether you are a developing vocalist, working performer, voice student, or vocal coach, this book gives you a practical system for building breath control you can depend on.

About the Author

Jaime Vendera is the author of a variety books and one of the most sought-after vocal coaches on the planet. Using the methods that he created, Jaime turned his two-octave range into six octaves with massive decibels of raw vocal power that enabled him to set a world record, shattering glass with his voice. When singers need more vocal range, power and projection, or need to build up vocal stamina to perform every night, they call Jaime Vendera. Jaime states that, "none of this would have been possible without God."
Ben Thomas of Dweezil Zappa says that Jaime is the 'Mr. Miyagi' of vocal coaches, while Mat Devine of Kill Hannah considers him more of a 'Yoda.' James LaBrie of Dream Theater said, "Because of my lessons with Jaime, my voice is feeling and sounding better than it has in twenty years. I am spot-on every night. He is the Vocal Guru." Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge said, "One time during a tour, I was so sick I could barely make it through the set. It looked as if we were going to have to cancel the next show. Jaime spent some time giving me some tips that helped me regain my voice. By the next night, I was able to perform the show. He is fantastic! Raise Your Voice Second Edition is THE book for singers. I recommend his books and his private instruction to ALL singers."
