How to Protect Your Singing Voice with Proper Breathing Technique
Your singing voice is one of your greatest assets as an artist. To keep it in its finest form, proper breathing technique is essential. Below we will share simple steps and advice on how to breathe correctly when singing to maintain and protect your singing voice.
Steps:
- Relax your body and mind before beginning to sing.
- Breathe in deeply and slowly through your nose.
- Let your breath begin in your lower abdomen. Inhale until it expands.
- Engage your diaphragm muscle while you inhale.
- Feel the air being inhaled go up to your rib cage.
- Let the air fill your lungs before beginning your exhale.
- When ready, begin to slowly and gently exhale.
- Visualize the air leaving your lungs through your mouth.
- Engage your body while letting the breath flow out.
- Allow the air to escape naturally, without forcing.
- Repeat the above steps for several rounds.
Tips:
- Practice the breathing exercise on its own several times a day.
- Make sure you are comfortable and relaxed while singing.
- Engage your diaphragm while sustaining notes.
- Start with a low volume and work your way up to a louder volume.
- Leave room for a gentle vibrato on sustained notes as a tool to extend breath.
