How to Breathe when Singing: Inhalation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- Learn how to breathe when singing with these two inhalation exercises. The breathing exercises will teach you how to breathe from the diaphragm which is the propper breathing technique for singing that gives you the foundation you need to sing with a strong controlled voice. In the beginning of this video I will also show you how the diaphragm works when you inhale and exhale for singing.

who at first thought this was a bright side video i cant be the only one😅
Me
i didn’t really but i got it as a recommendation after i watched this vid 😅🤣🤣
@Cannot ChangeYou lmao
Lmaoo
I like bright side channel 😂
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

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????
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!

After how much practice you achieved that?
Just came from a band audition and I nailed it but a few songs I could feel voice heavy with fatigue (red hot chili peppers tribute) this led me here
“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! 🕊💗
2:29 starts the first exercise :)
3:27 starts the second exercise

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
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!
Im not an expert but i think its harder when you put pressure on you're neck and stomach???
First person to make me finally get this! Thank you
Hi Betty Abbey, That is so great! Thanks for sharing this with me :)
@iyanna dixon xD
ikr omg
As someone with anemia this really helped me learn how to hold my breath longer! Tysm for helping me out :)
Her: so you need to control the air
My dumb self: *ok you're aang*

Eyyyy Ahgase

@@juhwehhh What are you doing here? Have you been keeping up with GOT7 lately?
@@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 😫
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!!!!
I farted when Im doing the book part
I Am Pawnce lol 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lollll
that's nice
um ok
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.
Now I’m kind of relieved that it happens to many rookie singers like us.
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 ?
Am I the only person who is frustrated that can’t seem to get this down even though it’s breathing and that’s like every day function
no man! I CANT BREATHE EITHER LIKE WTF I FEEL USELESS
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.
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
same here
Maybe you are pushing too much .Take it slow.
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
Well maybe ithink im the only one who sounded like a goat
I'm here dude, we being goat together.
Im a goat too
But a dying one
Good for you dude coz me when i started singing it sounds like a dying camel 🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐪🐪🐪🐪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Worst goat here haha 🙃
I'm a singer. And also rapper. This video is so helpful. Thank you for supporting everyone.❤💯
You, are actually the most clarifying singing teacher I've seen on here!
Yes! This is the video I needed and was waiting for. Thank you so much for helping me!😊
Guys this is very useful,you can't sing without this trust me,it's one of the most important thing at singing
So true Marco. Thanks for chiming in 😊

I'm watching this cuz my friend wants to go to America's Got Talent so I'm showing her on how to breathe (djshsndh)
Good luck to your friend!!
@@miwa8253 thanks
LMAO i hope she got in
Tell her i said good luck
Good luck to your friend 😁😁
You are doing an amazing job with these videos. They are precise and straight to the point, we can't thank you enough.
I’ve been struggling with this a lot lately this was rly helpful thank you!!
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!
When she said lay down on the floor I was already on the bed and I used my phone instead..
I always yawn when I sing then my eyes start watering up then I get tired why does this happen
Cancer. You have cancer
Really though, you're body's not used to inhaling so much air and you start to yawn, which makes your eyes water
Alex Yodson proof?
Or...
You’re fucking bullshit!
Cancer is not funny!
@@alexyodson5749 cancer isnt a fucking joke.
Same
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
The hell, I breathe normally like that
Good for you!👍👌
same i thought i was breathing wrong
Same here
@@kakyoin9355 same :
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.
I think I love the way you teach..excellent
Thank you so much for the video, its really helpful! Your video is very well made technically as well, loved the use of the annotations at the end. 👌
Short and sweet , very understandable, and helpful! Thank you so much!
Wow, a simple technique that makes all the difference.. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! This really helped me because i was in a singing contest and my only problem was my breathing. Thanks!😁
Its 3:33 in the morning and am learning how to sing now
Wow! 3 min already better! My throat doesn't hurt. Lol, 25 years of ave. Singing. Praise team at Church will know about this video . Thank you.
I’m so happy to hear that it helped. Thank you for taking the time to write and let me know😊
Great exercises! thank you :D
This video is not boring, the way you explain your thoughts were really amazing.
OMG I DID THE COVER OF THIS VIDEO AND I HELD MY BREATH WHEN DOING SNOWMAN BY SIA

Ayeee thanks for these tips. Def getting started on this.
I'm saving this video it was so helpful to me!
Wow.really aweome technique.you deserve million subscribers😍
Thanks for watching Roxtar Basha. Happy to hear that you liked it :)
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.
It's really fun to learn all your techniques
Your really helpful when it comes to singing
How long should I practice this a day? Thank you so much. This was a challenging exercise!
All are good but I didn't get that with the fist and the lips can you explain it a little bit because I can't really understand ?
karotos karotos same here
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.
A lot of fun learning this thank you
that makes so much sense
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
@@ascend111 Yes the diaphragm functions on its on, but you aren't using your diaphragm at the same intensity as you do whilst singing.
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.
Thank you very much. That was quick and to the point:)
You are beautiful !!! Your voice and techniques too !!
Thank you, and much love to you singgeek!!!! This is how I was taught way back in the day to hold and control my breathing!!!!!and still do today!!!
wow I didnt know this I always breathe in my thoracic chest
I love this channel, right now I am trying to sound like sia and it is a great help.
Thank you God bless you
Thaank youu! Pretty woman
This helps a lot. Thank you
So happy to hear :)
Thank you for helping
you are a great teacher! thank you
That makes me so happy to hear that you think that :) Thanks for watching!
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" 😬
Thanks now i mastered my Total Concentration breathing 😂
LMAO, total concentration breathing!
I love your channel elder sister!! For your help I got confidence ❤️😍💕 now fighting!!!!!!!!!!
I needed it for singing in Choir class.
Thanks for helping me to sing while breathing cause breathing while sing is my weakness part of sing so I'm so thankful that I watched your videos ❤️
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
This is a great video. Thanks, it helped a lot. I have more questions. Do you have Instagram or something where I can reach you?

This is amazing Technique
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..
I am still confused, do we have to breathe in the chest or the stomach? plz answer!
Stomach
Stomach
Diaphragm
@@ryannatuor344 intestine
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.
Thanks a lot!
love your videos thankyou
Anyone 2024
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😂
Thank you!
Tis is what exactly I use to do too, thanks fr the tips❤️👍👍
How to know if you use your diapghragm while singing

Thank you very much
Thanks! Now I can sing housewife radio without exhaling and inhaling dramatically, kudos to you!
It is great to hear it worked for you :) I wish you happy singing!
I can’t even breathe properly.. daheck😭 how can I sing tomorrow T^T
I have a gut.damn book slides right off..let me look at diet videos..Jk..great video
i just started to learn singing by myself.... your videos help me a lot; thanks :-)... greetings from Luxembourg :-)
Excellent tips tq so much
Kid using my ninongs account:I'm singing I download wesing and I'm training my voice to sing I love singing
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.
Great job..
Help a lot!
I can't do it 😥
Mark Angelo Palarca, I'm sorry to hear. I know it can be really frustrating when you are working hard at it and it is challenging. I want to help you. Were you able to do the exercise with the book on the stomach? Were you able to lift it?
