For each part of singing is based on your breath. If you’re not breathing properly, you can not sound as good as you could. Learning to breathe as well as you are singing can prevent pitch problems, broken notes, and even vocal chord strains.

Here are several techniques for teaching yourself to breathe similar to a pro:

Pay Attention to your Breathing

Lie on your back on the floor, and take a deep breath. Feel it expanding your lungs. In this position, you can totally fill your lungs with air. Watch your stomach rise as you inhale completely.

This is how you want to feel when you breathe while standing up. Don’t get tense your shoulders or take shallow breaths that make your chest barf. Rather, breathe deeply into your stomach.

Inhaling and Exhaling

When you inhale throughout a song, draw the breath in deeply, as though you were preparing to inflate a balloon. You should be able to fill your lungs very fast.

When exhaling, practice allowing the breath out as slowly as it can be. When you’re done, your lungs should be empty. The key is to be comprehensive when you inhale and exhale. Don’t take low depth breaths or release them too fast.

Breathing Posture

Good breathing position can help you breathe more effectively and identify the muscles you interact when inhaling and exhaling. Stand straight with your shoulders back and your pelvis tilted marginally forward.

Bring Up your head, but not into an unnatural position. Keep your shoulders, hips, and feet in line with your knees very a little bit bent. Take a deep breath and push it out with your diaphragm. Notice how powerful this breath feels compared to the breaths you take when you’re leaning over.

Practice Breathing Exercises

You can significantly increase your breath control with this practice method: Breathe in deeply with 4 seconds, hold the breath for four seconds, and then exhale for 4 seconds. Empty your lungs and start again.

As you expand your lung capacity, you will have a chance to work at 6, 8 and even 10 second durations. This exercise will help you sing with lesser inhales and lengthier exhales. It also helps you chill out if you’re feeling tense or nervous.

Learn to Breathe Quietly

A sharp inhale can be unsettling, so don’t whisper or absorb air when you inhale. Practice inhaling with your mouth open and lips taken care of. The breath should go downward your throat and into your lungs, extending your belly.

Quiet breathing is especially important when you’re recording a song. Breathy inhales don’t sound good, but a deep, quiet breath is fine. You can also move the microphone slightly apart from your mouth when you inhale.

Time Your Breathing

Try to take your breaths during natural pauses in the song. If you know you have a long note arising, take an extra deep breath just before it begins. Then limit out your breath as you sing the note so that you can sustain it for a long time.

Note that it’s normal to feel short of breath after practicing your breathing. You might also feel the irresistible urge to yawn. This is because your body is adjusting to the different amounts of oxygen it’s receiving.

Tension and Shallow Breathing

Singing is about pitch, breath, and rhythm. Proper breathing can help you stay on pitch. If you time it with the song’s rhythm, nobody will be able to tell when you’re inhaling except they watch you closely.

These breathing workouts will help you take your singing performance to the next level, so practice them frequently!
