[contrepois]

I farted trying to take a deep breath with my diaphragm... lol

[sessoii]

what if you have a fat belly and cant tell if your stomach is moving out

[ericarceneaux]

Yes. It is a VERY good idea to focus on this 2wks-1month, before moving on to the next vid. Of course, everyone is different. But many people encounter problems simply because they move ahead before their bodies are truly ready. Remember: If any particular element feels difficult to u now (ex: expanding the back), that doesn't mean to get frustrated and quit. It just means that your body needs more time. Patience is critical for success with this. So I thank u for posing that question.

0:11 intro talk stating should breathe low and talking about how diaphragm moves.
3:24 abdomen exercise - hand on stomach breathe in (hand should move out). Make sure to keep shoulders stable and relaxed.
5:17 back muscles exercise
7:55 intercostal muscles/rib cage breathing exercise

[ericarceneaux]

It's simply a matter of practice. You're asking your body to engage muscles that you haven't made full use of since you were a baby. It takes time to redevelop them. Be patient, and remain consistent with your practice.

he said take a deep breath but never said 'breathe out' and i passed out :(

I am a classical singer, lyric coloratura soprano and these are some of the best instructional videos I have seen on breathing. I am glad I found them. Also your vocal warm-ups for opening up the voice are great for both beginners and seasoned singers alike. They are good for any singing style to release tension in the neck and upper body and to learn to sing in a full unforced and focused way. Thank you! I am going to refer to these often.

Hey man, It's been a year since I started singing and I found out I was a counter tenor! Correct breath support along with an open throat really works. It just takes time for you to develop that coordination. For new singers do not give up. This is half the battle. Once you figure out this then you need to do lip trills constantly. You can't get mixed tell you get a connected voice which takes a lot of effort. It's not going to happen over night. You also got to learn how to control your pharynx as you go up in pitch which is actually going down. That's a big secret but you didn't here that from me. Never reach for any note! Not even the low notes. If you do this is your neck muscles engaging which isn't your real voice. Your real voice is in the center behind all your fake voices. A weird concept to grasp but once you find it you might cry like me lol.

These exersises invoke yawning in me. Not boredom, but like a reflex.

[ericarceneaux]

Asthmatics often do have a harder time with this, initially. However, these breathing exercises can work wonders, over time, in alleviating asthma symptoms. Just be sure to check with your doctor before doing intense breathing exercises, if your asthma is severe.

[RainyInADay]

I have searched throughout youtube for instructional videos that is easy to understand how to breathe properly from the diaphragm and most were just saying that your stomach has to expand and your back muscle but that's it. They didn't go more in depth about it which is why I find this video very helpful because it's easy to understand even if you're an amateur. I will definitely use this to help me. Thank you for this awesome video.

[Kevindsatria]

No homo, but this guy makes good eye contact.

[SingBetterInDays]

Love your stuff! It's so refreshing to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about

[notcindymae]

I've watched this whole series before, came back to say that it actually improved my singing.

[andraniles]

[MadamKuro]

I have way too much trouble with the back breathe, any help? D:

[winniethepooh]
