You have literally saved my voice with that sucking air thru the first technique. My vocals sound SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND SAFE all of a sudden when doing inhaling in the same manner as that technique! I've realised how wrong my breath support was all these years trying to sing..... You are a saviour thank you so so much!!!
Hi Billy Maverick, I'm so happy to hear that I could help, thanks for letting me know. It means a lot to me :) I wish you all the best on your singing journey!
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NIV ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” Luke 19:10 God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💗
Actually when dancin it is a little easier than standing still, when dancing ur body pumps blood faster and the diaphragm will automatically move when singing
i really struggle with breathing while singing, I don't understand why I feel lightheaded when I try to breathe through my diaphragm, and at the same time my belly still doesn't expand. What am I doing wrong?
You’re breathing incorrectly on a normal basis, so you’re light headed when you breathe big deep smooth breaths. Be sure to fill the belly first then up into the whole lung, fill the whole torso up. Reverse when breathing out, control the breath and let it flow out from the tops of the lungs down into the belly Edit Jan. 15, 2023: Incorrect breathing can look quite a few ways. What I’ve observed mostly is the breath duration (inhale and exhale) is short or one phase is short. One of the main, mechanical reasons for this is the shape of the diaphragm and ribcage. For example, if your ribs flare out and up a bit, and you have a weak back/core, a tight back/core, and/or it’s hard to rotate through your back/core; then your ribs are most likely stuck in some degree of expanding for the INHALE phase. That makes it difficult to contract and draw those ribs down to complete a full EXHALE. Stretch and strengthen that midsection!
Thank you SO MUCH! I've been trying to understand how to breathe properly and have no tention in the throat when singng for MONTHS and it always made me sad how those questions would never be answered. I've been searching forever and finally I know. Thank you so much.
I just want to say that the anatomy lesson here is so so so so so important! I remembered the belly moving out but I couldn't do it easily which I found so strange cause I found it so effortless when I watched this video the first time. But lately my throat feels so strained just from talking that it's really worried me I'm hurting my vocals just by speaking more often than I did growing up. I wanted to get used to using my throat right even just talking, So much so, I was determined not to strain myself tomorrow. I had to track down this video down before I went to sleep. The key to this is pushing down! If I focus it moving down that moves my belly out! So glad I came back to this. In my favorites now. Not loosing this again.
Your videos are so excellently high quality I cannot thank you enough!!!! This is the best singing learning content I've found on youtube to date, it is TOTAL gold!!!!
When I hold my breath to keep the book in its position for 5 sec , I feel tightness in my throat, it felt like air is trying to escape and also my inhales are also not relaxed. It also feels like I am holding the breath in my throat instead of my diaghram
i was able to fix the tension in the throat while breathing, by trying to physically feel with my hands the muscles in the throat that were tensing up (swallowing muscles). place *gently* one of your hands at the top of your throat right under the chin, and swallow a couple times so you can physically feel the muscles moving etc, then try singing a simple note or try to perform a simple breathing exercise, you'll probably feel something becoming harder/tensing up right where the chin and the throat meet. if you can't feel it but still feel tense, move your fingers around (always gently) to look for any tension, as you start and stop singing or exhaling you should feel a difference somewhere in those muscles. that difference it's not supposed to be there, BUT we the important part is that we found it! Because now that you can feel it and have become more aware of that problem try doing fast exhales, really fast if necessary, fast enough that the throat doesn't tense up.(you can try like doing a fast and quick laugh or a relaxed sigh, you should feel your diaphram physically lifting up. that's great) now you've managed to exhale/breath without creating tension in the throat, this means it's all a mental/habit problem! so the key here now is working on slowing down that exhale very gradually while making sure constantly that you're not tensing up, either by body-mind connection or by keeping your hand on the throat to make sure the muscles don't get tense. now, it will still feel weird to have a medium/long exhale because the body is not really used to it, but with time it all gets a bit more natural, at least that's what's going on and what has worked for me, hope it was helpful! Edit: for non-relaxed inhales I still have to deal with that problem but try to take a break, do something else that's simple, relaxing and distracting, so your body can go back to automatic breathing and then try again. with this stuff it's all matter of conditioning sadly, so metodic work that takes some time, sometimes fighting againts your own body, it can be stressing or demotivating, but once you start seeing results it all gets easier
I've found that the Singingbelt has greatly contributed to my comprehension of this vocal technique. It has made an immense difference in the quality of my voice. I'm currently enrolled in Ruth Gerson's class a few times a week, and I must say, she is absolutely amazing as an instructor.
Thank goodness for this, I found a video similar to this but they didn’t explain what the diaphragm was, they just went straight into techniques that didn’t make sense, while these are simple and straightforward. The other video probably would have been extremely helpful if I had only gotten the knowledge about anatomy, so thanks again!
@@e.d.rarendyag7firnen28 i was watching this a year ago hahaha, yes. they each have something they are working on. i think i'm about to get broke with the merch each of them has 😫
Awesome. I've seen many videos on vocal teaching with instructors using terminology I may not be familiar with but your visual examples helped me more than any other. Thank you
USEFUL TIP!! This was from my chorus class, if you want to breathe from the diaphragm, dont raise your shoulders up while breathing. If you are, it means you are breathing from your chest.
This is an awesome easy-to-understand video. I plan to show the first part to my kids choir to explain proper breathing technique. Thank you for making this video!
Please please please please please please help me I haven't get it right the breathing is embarrassing me when ever I sing 😭😭😭😭😭 I want to learn how to sing without breathing out pls
I think the point is that you're trying to stretch the diaphragm to breath deep into your stomach through the hand, making it faster, but also making it feel easier when doing it under normal circumstances.
TY for your great videos -- I just have 2 questions. First, I do not understand the fist exercise. Why would inhaling through the fist make the stomach expand more quickly than the other exercises on the video? Second, and it might be a can of worms, but... I was taught a million years ago that the diaphragm was an involuntary muscle. It keeps us breathing at night, right? So, do we actually have control over what it does? When teachers say "breathe from your diaphragm" is that a shortcut way of saying "take in enough air to fill up your lungs completely"? And if your answer is that you CAN control that muscle, HOW do you "breathe from the diaphragm"? What does it feel like, as opposed to just taking a deep breath? (without raising your shoulders or chest, of course) Looking forward to this answer!! 😃👍
How this really helped. I used to run aut of air when l sing. I would see people doing long notes without inhaling. I always wondered how they did it. But thanks to you. I am now a prow.
When you are breathing in pull your stomach out making the diaphragm go down and giving more space for your lungs to take air and do the vice versa while breathing out.
I see why this is so important to learn and it should be the first thing you learn when signing I'm a learning myself and i was singing early today then all of a sudden i started feeling dizzy learning how to breathe properly should fix this problem so this is what I'm working on first
It actually help, i notice the difference when i sang the same song i've been practising again. Thank you❤ my voice suck but atleast my breathing is better now😂
Don’t we always breathe from our diaphragm though? It’s hard to relate it back to singing because I don’t focus on my diaphragm I focus on hitting the right notes and all.
Like any instrument, there are a lot of things to focus on. That's why there are separate exercises. You should be able to start to combine multiple concepts as you improve, so long as you are practicing efficiently. Although, anatomically, the explanation is not entirely correct. Passive breathing involves your intercostal (chest) muscles. Breathing while singing (or playing a wind instrument) involves using abdominal muscles and obliques to increase air volume into the lungs and have better voluntary control over breathing.
Yes you always breath with your diaphragm, there false info in the vid, although theres always improvement needed when it come to breath management and stamina in general
Using the diaphragm for singing comes down to discipline aswell, making sure that you're actively using it enough so that it becomes habit and you don't need to think about it as much.
@@Leaferr people don't die in their sleep because they didn't use their diaphragm, it's something that functions on it's own. Without the diaphragm you wouldn't even be able to breathe, lungs("chest") and diaphragm work symbiotically
This helped me so much more than any other video I’ve watched on how to inhale so my stomach expands and not my shoulders/chest .. my favorite was the book exercise it made so much sense.. (2:50)
Actually my problem is when I take a high note so t I started running out from breathe and after that I can't able to sing the next sentence. So tell me how I can get rid of this problem.
Really appreciated , and guided one to have a better control on breathing for singer as well as who are struggling with breathing issue,one more thing is there any rule that waistline should be less than 30 in order to perform this excersise, and can you mention your to get a brief idea.
Hi Imanol Laynez, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. You are always welcome to ask questions in the comments here. I do have a small instagram account. I don't use it that often though, but you are welcome to write me there too. It is linked in the top right corner of my channel page. Here is the link: th-cam.com/channels/s7XWnCjUFKtfAi_DlL7m6w.html?view_as=subscriber
Hiiii Ronja! I've been watching your videos these past few days and yesterday I posted a comment in the Exhalation video, about how when I inhale-nose or mouth, a lot or a little-I feel my ribcage expanding and all (I even feel the diaphragm engaging though I know that still needs practice) but I still feel this tightness in the chest area, a certain stiffness, if you will, and therefore, shoulders and also throat, a tad. Doing the first exercise and trying different approaches, I feel the tension/tightness if I focus on inflating the stomach a little on the lower area (around navel, if you will), if I focus on inflating the whole stomach (ribcage area included), and expanding ribs to the sides as well??? idk, it's pretty confusing for me, so imagine trying to put it into words, hahahaha, sorry 🤦♀️ Maybe being a singgeek you will have a clue as to what the heck I'm trying to explain? hopefully?? Anyway, thank youuu! 🤗 PS: just noticed that I was slouching a bit, fixed that, does feel a bit better, but not 100% "fixed" 😬
Thank you for your video! Could you, please, explain (or direct me to any other resource where I could find) the reason why I should breathe with a belly instead of chest?
Thank you so much. Just an old soul here trying to sing. I can do all of that. How many repetitions do I have to do daily? Something else, Any tips for hispanics/ latinos?
Hi, Thank for writing I'd love to try and help if I can. When you lay down does your chest rise when you inhale? I recommend that you, when laying down and practicing the breathing, put one hand on your chest and one on your diaphragm. Then focus on only making the hand on the diaphragm move upwards as you inhale. Let me know how it goes :)
yeah, I think it's okay because my upper body isn't moving and my stomach doesn't move that far up. Just breathe normally through your diaphragm don't force your stomach out. Ik this reply kinda late but if anyone else sees it yeah.
You have literally saved my voice with that sucking air thru the first technique.

First thing to do when you watch vocal coaching videos: DO NOT READ THE COMMENT SECTION AS YOU WOULD WHEEZ A LOT INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY SINGING
What! You tell me now????
I always have respect for idol, like how the hell they sing while dancing it just so exhausted
Actually when dancin it is a little easier than standing still, when dancing ur body pumps blood faster and the diaphragm will automatically move when singing
Lucy Filia damn thanks for the important info
Lucy Filia pain. It HuRtS
Lucy Filia damn sure it'll move but to every direction possible. It's totally not easier to sing while dancing
True
i really struggle with breathing while singing, I don't understand why I feel lightheaded when I try to breathe through my diaphragm, and at the same time my belly still doesn't expand. What am I doing wrong?
I also feel dizzy when i try to breath more and take longer breaths
I think it's normal just put your hand and put a pressure to your diaphragm and try to push it back by expanding that pressure you feel.
@@TheRainmustFall7 me too

Tho breath control changes entire game when you learn it.
Thank you a lot that key to push down solved it.
brother you mean that we have to push our belly down while inhaling ? right ?
You, are actually the most clarifying singing teacher I've seen on here!
Guys this is very useful,you can't sing without this trust me,it's one of the most important thing at singing

Really appreciated , and guided one to have a better control on breathing for singer as well as who are struggling with breathing issue,one more thing is there any rule that waistline should be less than 30 in order to perform this excersise, and can you mention your to get a brief idea.
wow I didnt know this I always breathe in my thoracic chest

thank you for teaching us .and thanks for advice
Hiiii Ronja! I've been watching your videos these past few days and yesterday I posted a comment in the Exhalation video, about how when I inhale-nose or mouth, a lot or a little-I feel my ribcage expanding and all (I even feel the diaphragm engaging though I know that still needs practice) but I still feel this tightness in the chest area, a certain stiffness, if you will, and therefore, shoulders and also throat, a tad. Doing the first exercise and trying different approaches, I feel the tension/tightness if I focus on inflating the stomach a little on the lower area (around navel, if you will), if I focus on inflating the whole stomach (ribcage area included), and expanding ribs to the sides as well??? idk, it's pretty confusing for me, so imagine trying to put it into words, hahahaha, sorry 🤦♀️ Maybe being a singgeek you will have a clue as to what the heck I'm trying to explain? hopefully?? Anyway, thank youuu! 🤗
PS: just noticed that I was slouching a bit, fixed that, does feel a bit better, but not 100% "fixed" 😬
Thank you for your video! Could you, please, explain (or direct me to any other resource where I could find) the reason why I should breathe with a belly instead of chest?
When she was describing the first exercise with the book, idk why I invisioned a whole college text book like it's a workout video..
No I am learning because I need to master singing to become a K-pop idol

It's really fun to learn all your techniques
Kid using my ninongs account:I'm singing I download wesing and I'm training my voice to sing I love singing
Super brilliant
when I lay down I can just feel my stomach rising a little :(
Hi, Thank for writing I'd love to try and help if I can. When you lay down does your chest rise when you inhale? I recommend that you, when laying down and practicing the breathing, put one hand on your chest and one on your diaphragm. Then focus on only making the hand on the diaphragm move upwards as you inhale. Let me know how it goes :)
Singgeek thankyouu I can’t believe you replied😂😂
@@berniii-tq3tc You are so welcome! Well I'm serious when I say that I like to geek out on this stuff
yeah, I think it's okay because my upper body isn't moving and my stomach doesn't move that far up. Just breathe normally through your diaphragm don't force your stomach out. Ik this reply kinda late but if anyone else sees it yeah.
With the fist to mouth exercise, should I push my stomach out as I breathe in?
Lol your students pay for it but we watchers get it for free
