I’ve been taking voice lessons from a Russian soloist who was the #1 soloist in the #1 Russian Choir. What you need to do is tighten your stomach but not your throat or head. Bending your knees also helps too. A little trick to teach your stomach muscles to do the right things is to get an object that weight 5-10 lbs and hold it out in front of yourself with your arms all the way stretched out when you go up to the high note raise your arms up and lift the object higher.
Sing from your diaphragm means to sing with a full voice with good breath support. Singing with a full voice does not mean your volume cannot be loud or quite. When you breath pretend you are square like Sponge Bob and you expand side to side, not up and down our out and in, but side to side. Also tighten your stomach when you sing higher notes. it might be sore at first but you will be able to have better control of your diaphragm. When you sing from your diaphragm your stomach will be sore at first but then you will train your stomach muscles and you will get used to it. When you sing from your throat you will not be able to sing as long and your throat will hurt. You can tell when people sing from their throat because when they try to sing a higher note they will squish and tighten their forehead and they will stick their neck out and reach for the note with their head. But the reason it seems like when you watch someone sing and it seems so easy for them its because they are singing from their diaphragm and not their throat. Hope this helps.
Its the same for when you sing low. just tighten your stomach and dont reach for the note with your head. Don’t stick your chin down and your neck in. This doesnt help at all. dont try to push hard either in your throat to hit the note. At first just practice singing lightly but keep your stomach tight. Hope this helps
Breathing is the most important thing about singing. Do you have a hot tub or a pool or even a bathtub will work. Hold your breath for as long as you can under water and that will help your singing. It might not be for very long at first but keep practicing and you will get better. When i first started doing it i could only hold for a little over a minute, now i can do it for over 2 minutes, The longest i have done was 2:37 seconds. Now im sure there are alot of you who can do it longer…. So
THESE EXERCISES REALLY WORK JUST TRY THEM.
