Basic Breathing Exercises for better Singing, Tip-4

Do it Excercise :

Sit up halfway, relax the stomach muscles and breathe in feeling the same amount of expansion low in the
body. Try this sitting up completely. Relax the stomach area. See if you can have the same expansion as when
you were bent over.

Note:

Do not worry if low-abdominal breathing doesn’t feel as “deep” as clavicular- “stomach pushed-in chest
high” inhalation. What you are feeling is a decrease in tension-which is good!
You are not ready to start warming up your voice until your body has found good alignment, posture and breath.
Think of an artist stretchimg her canvas! Now you are ready to start painting.

Note:

These are posted for educational use only. They do not substitute for actual voice lessons. These
are done by yourself at your own risk, although it is my intention that they help you.
