Lisa-Marie,
I used to have this problem too -- I also sit at a desk all day long, mostly
staring at a computer screen. Earlier this year I made a resolution to
REALLY pay attention to my posture and breathing ALL THE TIME, not just
while singing. And it's made a huge difference!
While at work, I'm constantly reminding myself to maintain a healthy
posture -- while standing, sitting, walking down the hall, etc. In addition,
every hour or so I take a break for some good singer-breathing -- nice
healthy inhale, slow exhale on FFF, SSS or Shhh -- or silently, if
necessary (I've actually done this during meetings and no one noticed!). And
I'm not nearly as exhausted at the end of the day.
Plus, since I've been doing breath warm-ups throughout the day, it doesn't
take me nearly as long to warm up in the evenings when I do practice.
Hope this helps!
Rachel
