Basic Breathing Exercises for better Singing, Tip-2

Do it exercise:

Sitting in a chair with your feet touching the floor, flop over like a rag doll, with relaxation in your arms, face
and neck, and breathe in this position. See if you can feel the expansion in the pelvic floor area, even into your
upper legs. You should feel like you are inflating a cushion under you as you inhale.

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.
