We talk about what breath control is, give some exercises to help understand it, and showcase some works from Jessica and Wireless Theatre productions - The Woman on the Bridge by Marty Ross and Amok, aired with kind permission of Mariele Runacre-Temple of Audible and Wireless Theatre. Thanks so much to Jessica for sharing her experience and advice, and if you wanna groovy coach, or VA, employ her do!
