Principle of physics that explains how ventilation of the lungs occurs. Boyle’s Law states that in a contained space, air volume and air pressure always remain constant. If volume increases, pressure decreases; conversely, if volume decreases, pressure increases. Elite singers manage air volume and pressure in the lungs for maximum advantage in producing the desired vocal phrase.[1]
