Normal breathing starts from the chest and is very effortless. However when singing, you need to start your breathe from your diaphragm, the place right below the ribs. You should be able to fill your stomach with much more breathe than normal. This breathe is what gives your voice support and the power you need to reach and hold your notes. Another way of training diaphragmatic breathing is to practice hissing out breaths. Breathe in for 8 counts and feel your abdomen expanding, and hissout 8 short hisses and 1 long hiss. You should feel your abdominal muscles pushing out with each hiss. This trains your breath management skills as well as you need to sustain through all the hisses. Once you get comfortable, begin adding in more counts of hisses to gain more stamina and endurance in holding longer notes when singing. You must be careful not to use up too much air to prevent your voice from being airy - more air expelled instead of your voice. This is a result of lack of diaphragmatic control. Having good breath management contributes to having good 'support', which is the ability to produce notes with good tone. A supported voice is sounds full and not breathy. STRENGTHEN YOUR MIXED VOICE: Most girls switch to their head voice somewhere from A4 - C5. What you need to focus on is to prevent yourself from switching to your head voice along these notes although it is more comfortable to do. To belt or sing high notes, you will need to focus on strengthening your mixed voice - a mix between the chest and head voices. Although some people believe that only some people are born with the ability to sing high notes, this is not true. With proper technique and exercises, we are all able to access the mixed register which makes singing high notes EFFORTLESSLY. Here are some exercises to identify and strengthen your mixed voice. Do note that your mixed voice may sound strange and uncomfortable at first. You will feel like your voice having both qualities of the head and chest register, which it resonates both in the nasal cavity and in the head as well. Your vocal chords are also getting used to mixing between your chest and head voice and it is likely to find your mixed voice airy for certain notes. It will get stronger with more practice.
