Breathing
Welcome to singing lesson nr 3.
In singing lesson nr 2 we talked about that the basis for good singing technique is to get a good relaxation and balance in the whole body and to have a good attitude and control of your breathing. The controlled breathing reduces strain on the vocal cords and that is why it is so important to control your breathing. The muscle that helps you in breathing correctly is called "diaphragm". Your diaphragm helps you to inhale correctly by expanding towards your viscera which gives more space for the lungs. (That is why you can feel that you are thicker around the stomach when you inhale). When you exhale, this muscle decreases the tension and goes up to its relaxed position again.
Inhale and let your stomach get thick and relaxed. Start to sing exercise nr 3 "I am going home" and remember not to breathe in the middle of this exercise. The goal is to be able to sing the phrase "I am going home" twice before breathing again. It can be a little hard in the beginning but if you try this a few times I’m sure you will find it easier soon! Don’t forget to use a good posture while practicing.
Good Luck!
