How do you speak from the diaphragm?

Question:

I read an exercise from a magazine, but it isn't so effective.
Please help??

Answers:
Speaking from the diaphragm is not something you can do right away. It is better for your voice, especially when you're an actor. But it requires daily breathing, yoga and relaxation excercises.

You basically want to start breathing from your lower tummy, that's where you can hold your breath the longest, and it supports your voice the best, without straining your throat.

Look into Kristin Linklater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/kristin_lin... she has great excercises.
