7 Best Breathing Exercises for Singing

Developing proper breath support and breath control is vital for singers.

In this tutorial, you'll learn a few of the best vocal exercises, tips and techniques to strengthen your breath.

The breathing exercises we'll cover include hissing, panting, and deep, diaphragmatic breathing.

It might sound silly or foreign at first, but incorporating these fun exercises into your routine will help you easily produce the sound you're going for.

As I’m panting my boyfriend comes over with cat treats saying “good girl” 😅🤣

I've been singing for over 60 years, and STILL going strong. Have sung several Requiems. Grew up in a musical family. Took vocal training in high school. Through the years, I've gotten lazy. This past 2 years between moving and dealing with the covid shut down, tho I remained healthy, I didn't sing at all. Not good for me, since singing is part of my very soul. Point is, for someone like me, the video I just saw about simple breathing exercises it's quite helpful. Yet open for suggestions on basically how to clear out the cobwebs and re-learn the proper breathing and singing techniques without getting horse & running outta breath too quick.

Thanks so much, ive always known how to breathe to diaphragm but never knew how to utilise this. I think the sighing into the note really clears this up for me on how to effectively sing from diaphraghm, thanks so much :)

A wider shot would help re breath control/diaphragm points...

too bad we can't see your abdomen and stomach, good explanation, though but showing would help a lot

I have no idea which one helps me the most yet because I somehow only thought I should look at breathing exercises now, after like a week or two of knowing I'd be in a singoff in a friend group today XD

[OfficialRaiiDoodles]

Here cause my friend suggested it because a recent song cover I made sounds like I'm dying slowly near the end lol 😂

How much time should i practice per day to master breathing?

[verybadmobilevideos]

Because I played flute when I was young, I has "throat breathing" practiced out of me. I've been sitting here, trying to breathe the other way just to try it 😅

Great information. The demonstration of the exercises wasn’t clear as the instructor’s torso was not visible or picturized. Thank you very much for sharing this.

[victorinoiman]
