Steps to Diaphragm Singing
- Stand up straight and tall with your shoulders down and head relaxed.
- exhale the breath in your lungs.
- inhale through your mouth deeply until your lungs are full of air (your stomach should expand and protrude out)
- now sing a note using a vowel or consonant sound (i.e. “oh,” “ahh,” etc)
Should you sing from your throat or stomach?
You should never sing from your throat—the power behind your voice is your breath, and your breath should be supported by your diaphragm. Sing from your core, allow your vocal cords to relax, and let your voice resonate in your chest, pharynx and face.
