== Effects ==
* training abdominal, thorax and  intercostal muscles
* bettering blood circulation in glottis
* helping to hold a note as long as possible
* making your voice sound strong and beautiful
* giving the ability to vocalize longer than 1 minute at one breath

In order to get maximum effect out of this pattern, it's important to be trained enough to be able to handle a [[Special:MyLanguage/Breath_cycle|breath cycle]] 90-100 seconds long. For that practice [[Special:MyLanguage/Singer|Singer]] pattern until you are comfortable with this cycle length.

== Origin, history ==
This training type is derived from O. Seffery's book "New rational school of the singer" (available in [https://bildsuche.digitale-sammlungen.de/index.html?c=viewer&lv=1&bandnummer=bsb00075887&pimage=00001&suchbegriff=&l=ru German] and in [http://search.rsl.ru/ru/record/01004471468 Russian], 1900. Osmond Sefferi (1845-1922), an eminent Russian (of Italian origin) professor of vocal that lived and worked in St.Petersburg (Russia), has developed a unique and alternative to classical method of voice staging, the effectiveness of what was proven by decades of his work and by the success of his students. <br />
Laryngeal examination of his students, that is featured in the book, has been performed by [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD,_%D0%9D%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B9_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 N.I. Lunin, MD], who is one of the first researches of vitamins; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Gowland_Hopkins Frederick Hopkins], English biochemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1929, has acknowledged the importance Lunin's works for his discovery.<br />
In Prana Breath this [[Special:MyLanguage/Training_type|training type]] is adapted even for people that haven't ever practiced vocal exercises.<br />
