lung power
Breath behind voice
Lung power is the capacity to project one's voice loudly or sustain breath for demanding tasks.
Singers and public speakers need lung power to be heard without amplification.
The term extends to wind instrument players and swimmers: She has the lung power to hold that note for thirty seconds.
