Singing from the diaphragm makes the difference between good and bad singing.
Unfortunately, it's a very weird feeling to learn and seems counterintuitive to good breath control.
Today, I'll show you to improve your breath support and sing from the diaphragm in just 1 minute!
Meanwhile my stomach already expanded without doing all of this.
What's that? Want more beer 🍺?

lmao
Superpowers of being obese
Same 😭
what helped me learn diaphragm singing was telling myself to sing from the same place i laugh. when u laugh, its effortless & second nature. u don't have to think about pushing or straining or really anything in order to laugh. it just happens because you're relaxed. u have to learn to sing from that same place. practice laughing for a minute or two, and then try sustaining a laugh (without pushing !!). just let it happen. then try doing vibrato. the way to know if you're doing it right is if u immediately find vibrato to be easier/prettier & u feel NO tension in ur throat. if there's any tension at all, it's incorrect and u need to relax even more. good luck ! 💗
Wow this works. thanks!
I don’t really understand how to do this 😭 I really want to practice more because it’s hard lol
Nice explanation
Wow, this was insanely good advice and described perfectly 👌 You should make a TH-cam channel or something 🎉
Thank you, this Is very helpful
See, that's what I find difficult. I do breathing excersizes and I understand what I need to do, but I just don't understand how to apply that when I actually sing.
Sometimes its a matter of ”not” doing rather than ”doing”. I find that focusing on making my voice sound louder without excerting effort generally makes me able to use the right muscles. If i think too much about the diagphram and what is doing i just end up restricting it and end up using other muscles instead.
I had same problem but I fixed it as told in above comment
@@emilsundbaum5221 I just started to learn to sing and i think this is what I'm doing so im glad i saw this.
@@danielrobinson9893 it's a very common problem. Just relax yourself. Before singing check yoh have proper posture relaxed tongue jaw face neck etc. Then take a deep breath sing by maintaining posture and then repeat breth in etc. It's very simple process if you don't over think. It's all about basics that we already know about posture and breathing. It's just we complicate
Adding to above when you breath midsection expands normally not forcefully doing in relaxed way still maintaining posture. And don't let the body collapse when singing. Again make sure this happens casually without tension
Ahh, i gotta practice this more 😆
Same😭😂
@@katie_cant_compute The struggle! xD
This is a true tip. It takes getting used to because we’ve been doing it wrong for so long. I had to keep doing this, now I do it without even thinking about it. All singers and choirs need this teaching.❤
I learned this today in theatre camp and OMG I thought I just couldn’t hit high notes but it was that I didn’t have enough breath to hit one so my voice would fall out. I just wasn’t breathing right!
this gives me hope because this is actually what my theatre teacher told me too.
I’ve known this for a long time and still struggle to hit high notes. I did however see a video by Michael Trimble with a different breathing technique that seems to work better for me.
I have no idea how my breath will expand in my stomach 😭
same same
Relax ur stomache and inhale
@@HeadlessStatue oh my god thank you
Thx but my mouth is dumb, not smart
Thanks to this video I SUPPORT UP TO B4 TODAY, MAY GOD BLESS YOU 😭
Looks like I'm gonna workout then
If the stomach is allowed to slowly collapse instead of maintaining the same “posture at inhalation” in which we sing through- wouldn’t that create forced breathy air pressure by allowing the stomach to release air versus resisting the collapse?
Edit: I was partially wrong. Yes, we need to resist the breath but our chords handle it as long as we inhale silently, sternum/chest raised so nothing is in the way, and inhale or relax the stomach muscles at the end of a line, to allow the air to rush in. The body doesn’t need your help to allow the air to release/vocalize. Relax relax relax. This video is on point. The only reason I misunderstood is because I saw his stomach go back in quickly. Which is realistic with shorter pop lines versus long classical singing lines. That air needs to keep moving. Keeping the stomach expanded should not induce rigidity or stiffness, nor should it happen at all costs.
Think of it this way, if the stomach isn’t allowed to descend SLOWLY, there won’t be enough moving air to support your singing. The stomach has to deflate. Our job is to just not let it all collapse once we start signing, but to also not tense you any muscles from the stomach to the pubic bone region.
This is literally the opposite of breath support ..pulling in or contracting in is more like trumpet playing not singing
@@rileysilosmusic Yeah that’s what I figured. It would be like forced expiration. I’m still struggling on maintaining that feeling of singing through the relaxed, sustained, feeling of inhalation and staying it in without my stomach “caving in so quickly”/losing air pressure/support.
@@DeathtotheAshes th-cam.com/video/5qHgf1Ezc6g/w-d-xo.html
but wouldn't you end up singing from the throat if you try to maintain the posture at inhalation? naturally it has to go back in like a balloon, no?
@@ZacharydeLima No because at the point of inhalation the larynx is neutral and the throat is open. You can’t tighten shut your throat and breathe in at the same time. Try it and you’ll get what I mean. It’s like your suspending the air in your diaphragm with a open throat, not choking it off. If you can breathe in, maintain that same feeling in your neck/throat, and not seal the vocal chords, you’ll literally feel “support.” Almost like you were about to say something and then forgot last minute what you were gonna say. It’s an open feeling, not a clenched one. (That’s what they say… it does help me tho)
It’s like the same feeling before we talk only with a shallow breath being taken and little support is used. Most of us just don’t notice it until it’s time to sing something.
My stomach goes IN when I inhale... I already failed
You just need to get used to it, it's also the right way of breathing
NO I DID THIS AND ENDED UP BURPING😭😭
ahaha me
That just happened to me rn😭😭😭😭
GIGGLED
HAHAAHAH😂😂😂
I feel the most important thing you demonstrated here is the first example. It’s how the tone of the voice changes and the correct way sounds like the voice sinks deeper in the bottom. We are always soo focused on projecting and the ring tonality in the voice and forward position.
But that first example is gold. People need to record themselves doing the same exercise of what bad sounds like and what good sounds like and reference them as well as how each feel.
It’s not enough to know just how the good feels and sounds you need to know both, because you’re body and particularly your voice is not exactly completely under your control all the time and sometimes before you know it you’ve been doing the wrong way and not even realize why things aren’t working like usual, so it’s best to constantly be able to know how the right way and wrong way feel and sound.
I keep a pretty detailed but short list of of things to remember when singing, that I have found to help me with my voice the most. If I try something new I write down what I am attempting and I give it really only about a week to see if it’s a good way or not, and I mean by what’s safe on my voice.
Truth is, some things you might love to hear in a singing style or approach you do, just is not good for the voice. I predominantly use front vocal placement, roof of the mouth or top back placement. But in my style there are times I want the tonality of the throat placement, so I’ve learned to use it sparingly and lightly lean on it, like it’s a gas pedal. This gives me the effect I want at times without too much strain on my voice.
Learning to sing things, as clearly as possible is usually the result you’ll want. Get a good recording of you singing it clean, meaning no push or extra grit. Then listen back and it’ll give you a map of what you like and don’t, and where you actually want some difference.
I’m 15, and I have a very deep, gritty, diaphragmatic voice. With some practice and warming up, I am able to reach almost the Colter Wall type style, just a little higher since I am younger. These practices do work though, good advice 👍
wow sounds like you have a really cool voice!
@@crunchysscorpion I’ve been told before, and I don’t hate it myself! Kinda neat how everyone has something different.
You're the best voice lesson teacher I've seen.... I've practiced your exercise and it has really helped me. I'm glad I found you.
Oh my this advice is so, so wrong. You're pushing your stomach outwards, that is not what you're supposed to do at all.
Then what...!?
Piece of advice, go watch Ken Tamplins tutorial on diaphragmatic support! Dude is the real deal!
Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law is The Book Of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM Today
Maybe prove that first lmao
The most difficult/complicated thing I find doing! Feels that inhaling makes the stomach (or diaphragm?!) go in.....right? Still Practicing!
I kid you not, I watched the first 5 seconds and tried singing all of you at full belt all magestically, once I was done I realized I naturally sing from my diaphragm
Wow that changed how I sound
How can I sing higher notes with air, but without going into head voice?
"Sing from the diaphragm" is probably the most unhelpful and confusing piece of advice that just will not die no matter what, and I wish people would stop saying it.
Yeah breath support is something that takes like 10-15 min to explain. Trying to explain in a short will be more confusing
singing from the diaphragm actually means to stop singing from the throat, it helps you sound/feel more relaxed and it also helps you sing notes wholly instead of using voice from the throat which kinda sounds a bit strained and bad. in my opinion its one of the best advice that actually helps you with your voice.. youll understand it if youve been singing for a long time
@@altaccount-kk2yd But you're ALWAYS "singing from the diaphragm" AND "singing from the throat." The diaphragm is the main muscle of inhalation, so if you're inhaling, you're using it (most often without any conscious thought). Your throat is where your larynx and vocal chords are; kinda hard to make sound without those. This is why it's confusing. Like, I'm glad that you and others have been able to intuit what is meant by it, but there are lots of people who find it completely, bafflingly unhelpful, and those people deserve to get instruction they can use.
"You'll understand it if you've been singing for a long time" honestly gives it away: If your instructions are only understandable by people who already know what to do, then they're bad instructions and bad teaching, period.
fr you can't "sing from the diaphragm" the diaphragm is a muscle that controls your breathing, you can only ever sing from your vocal cords
I thought if you breathe in your stomache goes in and goes out when you breathe out
Same here lol
How will u sing from diaphragm when your vocal cords are in throat, I'm getting confused and feels like giving up.
I Just Listened To How To Sing Vibrato Videos And Now Whenever I Release My Singing Voice I Sing Vibrato😫
I thought I wasn’t doing this but I just realized I’ve been doing it this whole time for the past year thinking I wasn’t T-T
Me who has never had proper posture in my life: huh, interesting
thank you
I don’t know why, but I can’t stand his face lol.
Everyone needs to stop saying "sing from the diaphragm" ok? The diaphragm is a muscle located under your lungs. It pulls down on you lungs expanding them like an accordion to make you INHALE. If you are singing on an inhale you have bigger problems than proper core support (yes, it is your core muscles that create the vocal support singers need)
Thank youu, bruh I’m researching this just so I can along to Eminem rap god and Godzilla 💀😂
Thanks for Sharing
Some singer puff it. Or more like, doing it like that but also pushing it. I'm confused.
Pedagogically wrong bro you dont "support from the diaphragm" that creates tension in the abdominal section and kills breath pressure
This is so true
I can sing with my diaphram, but where should i be inhaling from? I use both my mouth and nose, but dont know which i should use, and if its the nose then it makes it tougher cause i always feel like i cant get enough breath. Plz someone help 🙏🏼
Bruh the last aoooooo was kinda funny😅😆.Thanks for the tip btw
Problem: My lungs are in my chest, not my stomach.
So people who sing an Axl Rose style are doing a multitude of damaging techniques?
I’ve been practicing your tips and I have to say I may just be a trash singer 🤦🏾♂️
Of course another bull crap video - why are all these videos misleading.
... That made me dizzy in 5 seconds, how do I avoid that?
Getting back into singing after over a decade. So lucky I was trained to sing in a church choir by my choir mistress so I still have a bit of muscle memory in using my diaphragm, but it feels so clumsy and inarticulate after so many years without use. I've got the volume but not the fine control for more complex notes.
The difference in volume and projection between singing from the throat (as my teacher called it) to fully using the diaphragm still amazes me!
My throat often gets strained quickly. This is because I’m not falling back on my breath right?
I’ve attempted to check out videos on throat strain but tbh, there’s usually so much explaining at the front end I don’t follow through lol.
But I notice the harder warm ups are any where you have to keep your mouth more closed. Lip trills are harder (I saw your clip on that so thanks for the help) anyway I’m chalking all this up to utilizing my air & breath control are my weak points?
Throat getting strained is becos of breath support issues. When practicing singing liptrills or anything keep an eye that posture is perfect and upper body doesn't collapse rapidly. It does but gradually and you breathe in the next time to reset back.. body breath movement can be easily understood by following a baby how the kids body moves while breathing and how it supports voice naturally while crying or shouting
Wait im confused u mean expand the stomach while inhaling the breathe in?
I think my stomach isn't compatible with this version😢😂
doesn’t work for skinny people mr chubs
What if I'm pregnant, does it affect my bby
Thank you! Well put demonstration, i feel like i could understand and start from here with how to breathe/use diaphram
I searched this whiole literally singing all of me thatz crazy
How do I get my stomach to go out?
I feel like I'm , first honor after watching this!
I can't do those exercise in an little voice? Like... L o w?

It's the same singing voice
Naaawwhh.
Ty Vic Fuentes’s cousin
can I grow up in music if I don't have a good voice
People have to understand that there is no shortcuts. I spent a year doing only scales and breathing exercises and teached myself to sing close to 6 octaves (4 on a bad with a cough without straining). You have to fix your breathing first to be able to sing properly. I know SO many people find it SO frustrating that they in vain search for some kind of other way or say it's not a valid explanation, but all top voice coaches have been saying this first thing first day for hundreds of years. It's the most basic thing, and yes, it's SO frustrating to have to re-learn how to breath - I get i! But there is no shortcut. Singing well is really really hard. The health benefits tho, outside of the fun side, are amazing and well worth the effort!
Also, not to overload the comments, but I was sorta raised in a lot of spaces where I had to keep my voice down so I know initially there was some psychosomatic stuff I had to get over w projection, belting, & in general had basically only ever sung at very soft volumes. Particularly the last few years while recovering from a handicap & sharing a wall w my dad’s office lol. Now that im in my own space again while I’ve been learning to let go, I sometimes wonder
Is it possible sing w/ proper form & technique quietly? I still desire to occasionally do it & worry I’d just be instilling bad habits & unlearning is always twice as difficult, & I’m a hard case as is.
omgggg thissssss, i live with pplk n always sing so quiet n even when nobody is home im scared to properly sing incase neighbours think wtf is thaty
@@avalondalton1090 Damn why is that so relatable
Cut the video please cut cut cut. Your died
THIS DOESN'T HELP:(
I’m not serious at all😂😂😂
I was laughing while practicing this😂😂
I got a six pack so my stomach can't.😢
I am failing to inhale and sing please help
My asthmatic ass could never do this 😂 I love to sing but it’s more of a quite whisper so I’m not actually singing 🤷🏻♀️ but thank you for the lesson 😊
It’s just that simple? Damn
Finally, a guide I can understand 😭
The example you gave was kinda of more about pitch than support. One can sing with a wrong breathing technique and still be on pitch.. I started off like that… pitch wasn’t at all the issue. More like the tension and amount of breaths I’d take. Hope it makes sense 🙏
Hey Ramsey, thx for your good work here, but a little note aside: The Diaphragm is NOT active/engaged when you exhale( singing/ speaking). The moment you are done with inhaling(where the diaphragm is really active), and start singing/speaking. The diaphragm will immediately relax.. Have a great day..
Do you have a deviated septum ?
Too bad he sounds terrible
I think I just passed out.
DUDE I actually liked my voice recorded for the first time in history after this. Thank you so much I didn't realize how much of a difference it makes man! Even though I'm late. If anyone sees this and they are having trouble what helps me is placing my hand on my stomach so that I can easily fix myself if I catch that I'm not using my diaphragm.
I was able to do it, and my voice sounds better than before, and my throat didn't hurt when i finished😭 Thank you so much!!
Wrong, don't contract in. The abdominal muscles need to fight against the natural tendency to pull in. This is the right kind of tension that allows for the free flow of breath and stabilizes the larynx.
Thanks so much, it actually made a massive difference! Am able to hit higher notes without my voice craving as much! However, if I try to hit higher notes my neck really starts to tighten up and hurts pretty bad. How can I get rid of this immense pressure and is it destroying my voice if I continue to force my neck with high notes?
Well I must have been breathing wrong bc only my ribs go out and diaphragm in. If try have my stomach go out I get palpitations and i hardly feel my stomach move out. I think I might have a problem.
My teacher sent me this
look up a photo of ayn rand
Literally impossible for me, I simply cannot relax my body enough to get this to work. I can’t control anything, how the fuck do I do this
😢I'm so tired of trying to understand.
i was in a production a few months ago and the musical director told me this trick, i was wondering why my voice kept cracking, after she told me i noticed such a difference and now i cant go back!
Is it normal that this is the way I've always breathed? I still suck at singing but the breathing part I do without thinking
Didnt help💀
I have a deep voice
welp just push up
Yes sir
I checked your sound in the logic pro, it's just about how close you are to notes, not the breathing, the first part even is louder then the second one
Really good tip thank you very much kind sir
Now i know how to use my diaphragm.thanks for this simple tips idol
This is wrong.. u never want to push stomach back.. u should hold stomach in that position untill u finah the phrase
W
I saw a huge improvement by flexing my core and kinda squeezing the air out of my torso like a tube of toothpaste. I was able to hit note longer with more control, but is this an ok way to sing? My stomach isn’t relaxed, I’m actually flexing my abs to keep the air flow steady and stop it when I need to.
Singing like this will damage your voice rapidly. Try squeezing your stomach like you have constipation (without singing); you will feel tension and strain radiate up into your neck. You don't want to sing like this.
Instead, you should breathe into the lower back, and lean your breath onto your diaphragm. Check out Michael Trimble on youtube, he's the single most knowledgable authority on bel canto singing alive
Great vid!! I been doing this but sometimes i get a little throat tension that's my next goal to get rid of!!
Thank you ! I hear the difference ❤
Great tip short simple to the point thank you 🤲🏾🫱🏾✍🏾
