## What is Breath

Just like human singers, adding a breath at the beginning of a sentence usually makes the vocal performance sound more natural. This is especially helpful for long sentences or high notes, where breaths provide a sense of realism and emotional connection.

Breath is the first tab in the AI parameters panel, allowing users to add breaths to the beginning of vocal lines for enhanced realism and expressiveness.

## Editing Breath

### Adding Breath

{% tabs fullWidth="false" %}
{% tab title="Automatic Addition" %}
Click on the <kbd>Add all</kbd> button from the left panel to automatically add breaths to the entire clip. It will intelligently place breaths at appropriate positions.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Manual Addition" %}
Click on the dark purple area to manually add a breath.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Adjusting Breath Duration

You can adjust the duration of a breath by dragging the left edge of the breath note.
