How to Sing Using your Diaphragm
In the beginning I was looking for any kind of singing tips whatsoever. One of the first things they showed me was how to sing using your diaphragm. A teacher had me do a simple breathing exercise, which had me look down at my expanding stomach on inhales and then watch it suck back in during an exhale. I didn’t even know how to breathe correctly and she proved my diaphragm could contribute to great vocal range. You will see immediate benefits after learning to sing from the diaphragm including increased relaxation. It’s just a lot easier to breathe naturally from your stomach area than your upper lungs.
