I’ve written an article discussing diaphragmatic breathing that includes the Ultimate Breathing Warm Up. But for those that are new to the concept, there are lots of different ways to breathe when you sing. However, the most efficient breath is called Diaphragmatic Breathing. That means that when you inhale the diaphragm contracts, expanding your stomach outwards. When you exhale the diaphragm will relax, bringing your stomach back in. The diaphragmatic breath is the most efficient type of breath you can take for singing. You get the maximum volume of air, plus the muscular support you need in order to use it correctly. And if you’re keeping a tall posture, you should already be perfectly set up for this breath. Here’s how you do it: 1. Use a mirror to help you make sure that the top half of your body is totally still. 2. Then place your hand on your belly and take a slow inhale through your mouth. 3. With your hand on your belly and without forcing it, allow the inhale to expand your stomach outward. 4. Then when you’re ready, exhale and allow your stomach to retract. IMPORTANT: There should be no movement in your shoulders or chest. It should all be from the low stomach. |
