Basic Breathing Exercises for better Singing, Tip-5

Do it Excercise :

Bend over at the hips (top of your thighs), not waist, knees slightly bent, so that your spine is straight as you
hang down and you feel like a rag-doll. Feel your face, tongue, arms, knees and body relax. Keep your knees
unlocked. Inhale so that you feel an expansion low in your body, even into the thigh area.

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.
