Nine Lines On the Spine

1. Why is this important? Well, your voice is affected by your postural alignment, and you will have better breathing and resonance if your ‘spine is fine’. That means using minimal effort for maximum effect: an efficient, effective and effortlessly good voice without the work of holding and tensing muscles to create it.

2. That means when standing, lining up the heaviest parts of your body so the centre of gravity goes down the middle of your frame. Balance without tension.

3. That doesn’t mean, despite what you were told at school, you need to “stand up straight” because your spine isn’t actually straight, it has three curves in it. And if you stand as though you have a rake up your back you will be holding yourself in unhelpful tension as other muscles and bones over-work to compensate.
