BREATHING TECHNIQUES START WITH: 1. Healthy lungs 2. Strong and healthy body proper posture for singing INHALATION
Sensation while breathing in: feel how back. Body, rib cage and slides expand out and sideways. Body parts opening on inhalation: + The back + Sides of the body + Abdomen (Belly) + Lower ribs The back (often a forgotten body part in vocal; training exercises) expands slightly. Abdomen moves out (focus on the upper abdomen from about your nave to the lower edge of the sternum). The lower ribs and the sides of your body (of your lower torso) move sideways on inhalation. EXHALATION Exhale slowly and feel the abdomen and ribs moving inward during exhalation. Allow the diaphragm to rise which causes your abdomen to move in. The movement of the diaphragm is passive in this phase. Your chest is raised and keeps this position throughout exhalation for as long as possible. At the end of the breath cycle, the lower ribs and abdomen return to their resting position. The exhalation phase during singing is much longer than at rest. We sing on exhalation. The key attributes for exhalation are slow and steady The posture is the same as for inhalation — the back is straight, the shoulders are down, the chest is open, the head and hips are aligned with the rest of the body. + First, develop awareness of what is going on during exhalation. + Then develop breath support for short sustained sounds and phrases. + Finally develop breath support tor long sustained sounds and long phrases. As well as endurance for gradually longer Singing practices with fewer breaks. + Practice breathing exercises together with vocal techniques as soon as possible (as soon as you become aware of the required movements in your body during inhalation and exhalation). SUSPENDING THE BREATH "Suspending the breath" refers to one of the ore advanced breathing techniques for singing. To suspend the breath means not allowing exhalation to happen right away. Instead a singer "suspends the breath" without holding the breath. The singer neither inhales nor exhales; he just postpones the beginning of exhalation. The body is suspended in motion. There is no tension anywhere in the body. This may be a difficult concept to grasp and may require practice. The goal of suspending the breath is to understand how the body wants to return to the resting position and how to resist this feeling when singing.
