lung-power

Breath behind shouting

Lung-power is the capacity to produce loud, sustained vocal sound.

Someone with good lung-power can shout across a field, sing without amplification, or hold a note longer than most: That opera singer has incredible lung-power.

The term emphasizes breath capacity as the source of vocal strength.
