Bel canto and EBVP both treat “quiet inhale, paced exhale” as the mechanical foundation of phrase support. We’ll listen for two things: an inaudible nasal inhale, then a 4-second /sss/ with even airflow.
5 trials · hit 5 for mastery. Each trial: a 2.5s silent-inhale window, then a long /sss/ hiss until we’ve seen 4 continuous seconds.
