<h2>Breathing Techniques for Singing</h2>
</div>
<p> The way you breath greatly effects the way that you sing. In fact, when working on improving your voice the first thing you should concentrate on is improving your breathing. In this article I will tell you how you can use a three step process to develop a more natural tension free way of breathing.</p>
<p> A big problem that often arises is that singers have been told that they need to breath deeply in order to sing well so they take overly large breaths that actually build unneeded tension in the body. This tension effects the vocals in a negative way. It&#8217;s better to breath naturally rather than to force big tension building breaths.</p>
<p> You should allow yourself to breath, rather than to force yourself to breath. There&#8217;s an important difference there that is an important key to breathing naturally. Unfortunately many people have heard so much bad information about breathing for singing they have a lot of stuff to unlearn so that they can breath naturally again.</p>
<p> To get your breathing back on the right track, follow the these three simple steps.</p>
<p> Step One: Improve Your Posture</p>
<p> How you hold your body when you are standing is the starting point for natural breathing. You want to create an unobstructed pathway for air to travel to the lungs.<br />
 The first thing you should do is to stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart. You should then roll your head around to ease all tension in your neck. Hold your head level, be sure your chin is not tipped up or down.</p>
<p> You should let your shoulder blades &#8220;slide&#8221; toward the center of your back so that they are back and down. Don&#8217;t &#8220;bunch up&#8221; your shoulders. You need to have a strong but relaxed stance.</p>
<p> When your shoulder blades are towards the center of your back in this way it helps to open up your chest which makes breathing deeply easier.</p>
<p> You should let your knees bend slightly. Remember you want to feel loose and natural, not stiff.</p>
<p> Step Two: Learning To Inhale Properly</p>
<p> First of all remember to keep your body in the strong but loose position you just learned about. Each step for more natural breathing for better singing builds upon the step before it.</p>
<p> When you are breathing in you should put your hand on your stomach with your middle finger on your belly button. You should know that all of the &#8220;action&#8221; for breathing in should take place between the bottom of your ribs and right below your belly button.</p>
<p> Slowly fill your stomach with air. Do this without lifting your shoulders or puffing out your chest. When you do those things you add tension to your breathing and you actually make it so you cannot hold as much air. Your breathing is perfect when it&#8217;s natural, you don&#8217;t need to force air into your body.</p>
<p> Remember that you are letting this breath come into your belly. Don&#8217;t force the air in. Don&#8217;t extend your belly using your muscles. Let it happen, don&#8217;t make it happen!</p>
<p> Step Three: Learning To Exhale</p>
<p> Like with the other steps, exhaling properly means to let the air come out of your body rather than to force it out. Exhaling is relaxation, it should not be a forceful thing.</p>
<p> Of course when you are singing, you are exhaling. Don&#8217;t concentrate on forcing the air out of your body when you are singing. When you do that you are building pressure and unneeded tension.</p>
<p> The key to exhaling properly is to not allow your muscles to become tight. You can practice by breathing in and breathing out and keeping your hand on your midsection and making sure there is no tension in your abdominal muscles. You should also try this when you are singing. Remember, muscle tension is bad. You want relaxation, not tension.</p>

<h2>Take a Deep Breath &#8211; Teaching the Inhalation for Singing</h2>
</div>
<h2><strong>Take a Deep Breath:<br />
</strong></h2>
<p><em><strong>Teaching the Inhalation for Singing More Effectively &#8211; Releasing Abdominal Tension<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>According to Gillyanne Kayes <em>&#8216;awhen you breathe in, you will feel that your lower abdomen moves out as a result of the diaphragm pulling downa&#8217;</em>1 This is true, but does assume that the student already breathes efficiently and correctly. It also assumes that the singer has a good awareness of the detrimental effect abdominal tension has on the inhalation. One of the main breathing challenges I have encountered in the studio is that students find the concept of letting the lower abdomen go into neutral difficult, hence the diaphragm does not depress fully and subsequently the lungs do not fill to capacity. The following are several methods and ideas proposed by both me and my students for helping to release abdominal tension.</p>
<p><strong>1. Inhaling against a wall</strong></p>
<p><em>A Kinaesthetic Approach<br />
</em></p>
<p>A student can gain insight into the deep breath required for singing through observing the mechanism when they are lying down. In this position the body naturally resorts to effective breathing. However I have found that not all students are comfortable with being asked to lie down on my studio floor during a lesson, albeit with a cushion to support their head and a throw to preserve their clothes. Occasionally students have back and knee problems and such a suggestion is simply inappropriate. As a teacher I do feel that breathing needs to be introduced within the first few weeks of lessons, yet a trusting relationship may not have developed sufficiently to permit what could be a vulnerable situation for the student.</p>
<p>As an alternative I have found that getting a student to check their breathing mechanism while leaning against a wall very effective. The student allows the wall to support them, turning their head to the side so that their cheek is flat against the surface. Arms are relaxed at their sides. I then ask them to lever themselves from this position by releasing the abdominals and allowing the diaphragm to depress, lungs to fill, rib-cage to expand and epigastrium to move forward<em>.</em> If the student &#8216;chest-breathes&#8217; there is no leverage and this, due to the lack of release of the abdominal muscles, is immediately apparent to them<em>.</em></p>
<p>I have found this to be an effective method because the student is already upright and experiencing the deep breath. One of the difficulties with breath work on the floor is getting the student to maintain the deep breathing they have so readily discovered when they return to a standing position.</p>
<p>This technique has been effective for about 75% of my students thus far. Effectiveness has been evaluated by how quickly and independently the student comprehends what is required and why i.e. the technique&#8217;s place within singing. One of the positive aspects of this exercise is that is allows students to self-evaluate immediately.</p>
<p><strong>2. Abdomen as an Elastic Band -Visualisation</strong></p>
<p><em>A Visual and/or Aural Approach</em></p>
<p>Students&#8217; reactions to my explanations of breathing anatomy vary widely, ranging from eyes glazing over to keen interest. I have had to ask myself the question: just how much anatomical information <em>do</em> students usefully need to know and how can I accommodate these different levels of interest within different learning styles?</p>
<p>One of the less orthodox responses to my survey was that of a student who is a hypnotist by profession. This lady recorded a visualisation exercise, coming up with the image of the abdomen as a brightly coloured elastic band which released and expanded with the inhalation. I played this guided visualisation to a cross-section of students and the response was encouraging. Most found it immediately useful, helping them to clearly imagine the abdominal muscles&#8217; activity. Several were very interested in the idea and stated that they would like to experiment further with it. One student who had long-term difficulty getting away from shallow breathing habits deepened her inhalation within one lesson of listening to this visualisation.</p>
<p>Only one student found it categorically unhelpful and preferred to visualise conventional anatomy when inhaling, unsurprising as this student normally approaches tasks intellectually.</p>
<p>The guided meditation was an antithesis to thinking conventionally about anatomy in that it used the imagination and was concerned with the essentials. I was interested to note just how many students related well to this. The recording was not a definitive guide, but a starting point for students to use their own imaginations in visualising the abdominal release.</p>
<p><strong>3. Using Imagery</strong></p>
<p><em>A Visual Approach</em></p>
<p>I suggested that several artist-singers in my group class create an image of how they understood the inhalation, in particular bearing in mind the release of the abdominals. The &#8216;spec&#8217; I provided was that the image could be figurative or abstract and use any media. I also participated in this exercise.</p>
<p>The following week the selected students presented their works, which turned out to be figurative and concerned with the breathing mechanism in general<em>.</em> Given the interconnectedness of inhalation and exhalation this was understandable. Both drawings acknowledged the need for abdominal breathing. The images showed an appreciation of colour and movement which provided information about these students&#8217; learning styles, i.e. visual and kinaesthetic. Interestingly, both drawings revealed a misunderstanding about the breath creating head resonance.</p>
<p>My own contribution was more abstract and based on how I visualise the experience of a deep inhalation.</p>
<p>The group proceeded to practice the inhalation while looking at each of the three images. Several of the group connected well to the latter image with one student stating that it was <em>&#8216;asimple and had movement and energy&#8217;</em>. The two figurative images were well received as interesting drawings, but less effective as stimulators of abdominal breathing.</p>
<p>Encouraging students to do drawings of the inhalation was very useful as the resulting work showed strengths and weaknesses in their comprehension. However, in distilling a method from images I would need to experiment further and <em>&#8216;achoose them carefully and appropriately for each pupil&#8217;2</em><em>,</em> using my discretion regarding students&#8217; personalities and learning styles. This would suggest the need for having worked with the student for some time.</p>
<p><strong>Further Use of Imagery</strong></p>
<p>I agree with Meribeth Dayme (nAe Bunch) when she states that referring to the inhalation as <em>&#8216;abdominal breathing&#8217;</em> is less misleading than the term <em>&#8216;diaphragmatic breathing&#8217;</em>. While the diaphragm is acknowledged as being the most important muscle of inspiration the release of the lower abdominal muscles is vital for maximum functioning of the former.</p>
<p>During the past few months of my research I have collected several phrases evoking images that have helped facilitate <em>&#8216;abdominal breathing&#8217;</em>. They are as follows:</p>
<p>1. &#8216;Bellyful of breath&#8217;</p>
<p>2. &#8216;Pregnant with breath&#8217;</p>
<p>3. &#8216;Imagine a hole in the abdomen through which breath enters&#8217;</p>
<p>4. &#8216;Balloon filling the abdomen&#8217; <em>(student contribution)</em></p>
<p>5. &#8216;Sea rolling in and out&#8217; <em>(student contribution on inhalation </em>and<em> exhalation)</em></p>
<p>The use of imagery has proven very effective for most students and I would not hesitate to develop this method further. I have been very interested to hear students&#8217; own creative ideas. If an image is personal it is likely to be effective.</p>
<p><strong>4. SPLAT! (Singers Please Loosen Abdominal Tension)/ The Recoil Breath</strong></p>
<p><em>A Physical Approach</em></p>
<p>Gillyanne Kayes talks about her own study of breathing, being advised by one instructor that <em>&#8216;</em>a<em>the secret of breathing in was to breathe out.&#8217;3</em><em> </em>My understanding of this quote is that if a singer has an insight into what their abdominal muscles are meant to do during the <em>exhalation</em>, they will learn what these muscles are <em>not</em> meant to do during the <em>inhalation</em>, i.e. contract. Janice Chapman is also an advocate of SPLAT!, incorporating it in her &#8216;Primal Sound&#8217; technique.</p>
<p>SPLAT! involves exhaling at any given moment, a special preceding inhalation not being required. The singer draws their abdomen in towards their spine, pushing any lingering scraps of air out of their lungs. At the point when the exhalation has reached its limit the body will reflexively release the abdominal muscles, allowing the diaphragm to depress and lungs to fill to their capacity, i.e. the recoil. As with the wall leaning exercise I demonstrated SPLAT! in the first instance and students subsequently practiced it under my supervision. The exercise was attempted in a standing position.</p>
<p>SPLAT! had a diverse response. Some students grasped it well and others found it frustrating and strenuous. Over a period of several weeks it was clear that not everybody was releasing their abdominal muscles as a result of this work. In asking students for feedback I found that this was due to the power of old holding habits or simply a lack of clarity about the mechanics of the exercise*.</p>
<p>*The exercise revealed that a number of students had previously assumed the abdominal muscles were <em>contracted</em> during inhalation and relaxed during exhalation. I attempted to remedy this misunderstanding with the following phrase:</p>
<p>&#8216;<strong>In=Out&#8217; and &#8216;Out=In&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Simplified from<strong>:</strong></p>
<p>&#8216;<strong>Inhalation = Abdominals Out</strong></p>
<p><strong>Exhalation = Abdominals In&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>I have noticed recently that when students get confused during SPLAT! they start to repeat this phrase to themselves before re-attempting the exercise. It does appear to help them focus their efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>My research demonstrated just how vital it is to fathom a student&#8217;s personality and learning style when teaching technique. Having several tools available is necessary and this requires a teacher to be open-minded while simultaneously grounded in facts of anatomy and physiology. I am pleased to come away with alternatives to my original teaching method of demonstration and use of anatomical drawings, a more intellectual approach. I won&#8217;t fully abandon this but nor will it be my default method in the future. Though traditional and time-tested, I was never entirely comfortable placing my hands on my students. It is timely to have more options that enable students to clearly practice and self-evaluate abdominal release.</p>
<p>Opposition to abdominal release came in several forms. Unsurprisingly many of my students were uncomfortable with having to release their lower abdominal muscles. The learned response is to hold these muscles tight and all of the above exercises focus on the necessity to <em>&#8216;reduce the holding patterns in the abdominal wall&#8217;4</em><em>.</em> One student told me that the release was in direct opposition to maintaining the &#8216;central core&#8217; required for Pilates, another activity she engaged in. Several dancers had the same concern. I was alarmed that so many students interpreted releasing the abs as an instruction for the whole body to slouch. It was vital to pause and address posture during the work.</p>
<p>Several students consistently contradicted my research, those who engage in shallow breathing without their capacity and control being compromised &#8211; and apparently without the usual resultant tension on the larynx. I am still considering how I need to go about advocating the benefits of abdominal breathing to these students, so my research continues.</p>
<p>As with any investigation there are as many questions raised as are answered. Svend Smith&#8217;s &#8216;Accent Method&#8217; merits more research as does Janice Chapman&#8217;s work with &#8216;Primal Sound&#8217; which interestingly combines deep, reflexive breathing with emotion. There are many other studies of technique that are not singing related such as breathing for yoga, re-birthing, Chi Gung and athletic activities, to name a few. I feel that it would be useful to have a working knowledge of these, if not to apply directly to singing then for the purpose of achieving a rounded understanding of the power of the breath in different situations. In short, there are many worthwhile and interesting avenues that can be followed for developing a thorough pedagogy for breathing.</p>

<h2>Learn to Sing Better: Tips on Better Breathing</h2>
</div>
<p>Breathing studies have found that you can actually have peak health and a longer life, depending on how well you learn to breathe! Sounds silly, doesn&#8217;t it? But it is true as you will see below. Breathing properly is really healthy for you overall, as well as developing your ability to sing better!</p>
<p>Breathing properly for singing is the single most important factor in obtaining good solid technique in order to sing better. Every singing sound we make, at least, is dependent on consistent and steady airflow. If you have more control of this air flow, you will have more singing control and thereby have better quality of your singing, including strength, duration, and capacity.</p>
<p>Breathing for better singing should always include relaxation techniques for quiet inhalations, specifically. Exercises and stretches, include some yawning, yes you heard right, yawning exercises, as you inhale and exhale, to help relax the muscles surrounding the vocal cords. </p>
<p>First, stand relaxed yet tall and with good posture. For more information on this, go to www.breathing.com. They have some excellent details on breathing and posture.</p>
<p>Since breathing is a three-dimensional process, try this. Breathe in deeply to connect with the diaphragm (muscle that lies underneath the lung sacs, as the lungs are not muscles). Your rib cage should expand and you should have a sense of &#8220;expanding&#8221; clear around the rib/abdominal area, as the diaphragm lowers, thus, filling the lungs. Exhale completely.</p>
<p>Do the above for 4 counts in and 4 counts out&#8230;.all the while thinking of not only the three-dimensional expansion, but the silent intake of air, using that &#8220;yawning&#8221; sensation, which is only a helper for this training&#8230;yawning may not work perfect for other vocal techniques, like voice placement, but it does help relax the muscles for a quieter, quicker intake of air. Push out with the belly muscles as you sing or do your vocal exercises. You can even lie on the floor for this one with a book or a couple books on your belly to see how your breathing is doing. Can you raise the book while inhaling? If so, that is just one aspect of the three-dimensional aspect of proper breathing. This is just to demonstrate how you should be breathing. A coach online or offline should assist you in keeping track of these, to make sure you are developing proper habits. Poor habits are so hard to change, so give yourself some time, training, and practice. Do the above everyday (except the book part) for better control of your breathing and forming proper breathing habits.</p>
<p>There are, of course, things you should not do while learning the above techniques, and that is you should not move your shoulders, head, or neck while learning these habits. Your chin should not go out or up or down to low, but be level. To breathe properly, specifically for singing, you will want to keep &#8220;the instrument&#8221; in the appropriate position. You should appear natural and the breathing should seem effortless. </p>
<p>There are also exercises that will assist you in developing better breathing control and stamina without hurting your singing voice. This includes exercises like breathing in through a pretend straw for better breath control and development. Try this. Pretend you are breathing in through a straw (a small pressure hole created by your lips) and perform the above 4-count breathing exercise. This will help strengthen your breathing strength, control, and stamina for those long &#8220;tah-dah&#8221; notes or just sustained notes that always seem to fall short. There are also many breathing exercises for assisting in developing breath control, strength, and stamina, such as inhaling (yawn) your breath, then &#8220;ha-ha-ha-ha-ha&#8221; exhaled for 5 times and seeing if you have any breath left, which you should.</p>
<p>Learning to sing better through breathing is such a critical step in developing your better singing voice. I just cannot stress that enough. I do hope these tips have assisted you in obtaining some breathing techniques to take with you for your overall healthier lifestyle and in singing better! Let&#8217;s march onward to assisting you in continuing your onward progress in taking care of your voice, breathing, and coming soon&#8230;warm-ups! </p>

<h2>How to Have a Good Voice For Singing</h2>
</div>
<p>If you want to have a good voice for singing, then besides practicing with the correct vocal exercises to improve your voice quality and flexibility, you will still have to take active actions to protect your vocal cords.</p>
<p>Sounds like common sense, doesn&#8217;t it? Yes, it is precisely so basic that people forget about it or do not even think about it and that is why there are so many people damaging their vocal cords daily and depriving themselves of a good singing voice.</p>
<p>Let me ask you a question. Tell me how often do you burst into a song without doing proper vocal warming up exercises? Are you guilty of singing before warming up your voice properly? Every singer worth his or her salt knows that when you warm up your vocal cords, your singing will be more flexible and because of that, prevent strains and damages to your vocal folds. Alas, even then many singers do not bother to do warming up exercises and that even include some professional singers too.</p>
<p>What about cooling down your vocals after singing? Oh, you don&#8217;t think it is important to cool down your voice after a performance? Of course it is important because when you sing, tension builds up around your singing mechanism and you have to release the tension. This is what cooling down is for, otherwise the tension may create swelling of your vocal cords and other damages.</p>
<p>Screaming, shouting and speaking loudly can cause permanent damage to your vocal cords. All you need to have proof of this is just to listen to the heavy metal rock singers when they talk. Their voices are all raspy and coarse from shouting and screaming when they perform. Some of them even have to undergo surgeries to repair their vocal cords in order to stay in their career as a singer.</p>
<p>Yes, shouting, screaming and having a raspy voice may be the thing if you are a heavy metal rock singer, however how many of you aspire to be one besides also risking permanent vocal damage?</p>
<p>If you want to have a good singing voice and you are a smoker, then it is time to quit smoking. Look, if smoking can cause throat cancer that can destroy the entire throat, can you imagine what it is doing to your vocal cords right now?</p>
<p>People are always saying breathe with your diaphragm when you sing, but when you ask them what they meant by breathing with the diaphragm and they are stumped. So are you trained to breathe with your diaphragm when singing or as a matter of fact, that is the correct way to breathe even when you are not singing?</p>
<p>All babies naturally breathe with their diaphragm and that is why they can throw their voices so far and wide when they cry. However as we get older, most of us just lost this natural ability and must be trained to get it right.</p>
<p>When you are breathing right when singing, your voice will soar effortlessly, be of better quality, the notes will be steadier and you can also hold notes longer because you will be able to better control your breathing. As such, you will less likely be straining your vocal cords and so offer it more protection and voice preservation. If you do not know how to breathe with your diaphragm, then get some singing lessons to learn it. This is essential if you want to be a better singer.</p>
<p>The above are just some of the many things you can do to protect your singing mechanism. If you are a professional, don&#8217;t just stop here because there are many more things you can do to protect and preserve a good singing voice.</p>
