Jessica's Predebut Video:
"Breathing exercises to make abs: Jessica"
"Learning perfect pitch was hard. When the teacher pressed a key on the keyboard, we had to match the scales,
and when they played a melody, we had to draw it out on the music sheet. We had to match the rhythm as well. Breathing exercises were a given.
Before we recieved vocal lessons, we had to recieve breathing lessons. You had to pass the breathing class to enter the vocal class.
But we really worked so hard to make our upper body fit/form. Even releasing deep breaths were a test.
You passed if you could continuously breathe out for 30 seconds at a time. There were others who could even do 60 seconds."
