Using the Diaphragm – Brighton Singing Lessons

this has helped so much thank you, i now sound much better at singing now
knowing how to control my breath thanks again :D

I’m a teenager, 14 years old and my voice is soo deep😞 When i sing it
sounds horrible.. How do i get rid of it. What do i need to do to sing
good? And not this horrifying😭

It would help me so much if you could respond …. Thank you! 

Wow it also relaxes me! How often should i do this exercise? Once a day?

Very good singing lesson.This helped me a lot!

Hi there. Should I be concentrating contracting the muscle or inhaling (air
thru mouth) first? I mean. at times when I sing, I like to focus on my
stomach and expanding it then the inhaling part. I noticed the air move in
easily without the huuuhh sound. Is this a good practice? I hope you can
give me your view on this and I have made my question clear enough.Thanks
for the vid too.

Very Nice. You have a very nice soothing voice. Keep up your good work.

This has worked great for me for my support. I do it at least 6 to 7 times
a day!!!!

Awesome thanks 😀 how do I avoid using my throat so much?

Hi, question, when I am singing, sometimes, my throat hurts. Is that normal
in singing?

You’re good

thanks chip .I want to thank you for your generosity to share your valuable
techniques which are helping me day by day ….Thankyou very much .This is
Navish from India

I thought that was great! Especially in practice how short the inhale is,
as this is rarely shown in other videos.. so far, regardless of the volume
level changing in your vid, this is the best diaphragm control lesson I’ve
seen and I’ve seen a few. You have a natural skill for clear, simple and
effective teaching so keen to watch more.. 

Thank you for your lesson 🙂 Oh and does having asthma affect your breath
support in singing? 

There is a mechanism at work in breathing. The parts include the
abdominal/thorax muscles, abdominal organs and their compressive forces,
the lymphatic system (what breathing is really about). For therapeutic
reasons the chest expands to allow lymph flow in the abdominal organs (most
lymph nodes here) upward toward the heart (subclavian veins to be precise).
Look at the area from the throat to pelvis as a series of pressure chambers
to move fluids (blood and lymph) into proper circulation. There is also an
area behind the thoracic/abdominal organs called the retro peritoneal and
retro plural areas that move transversely (back and forth) with the moving
of the diaphragm up and down. Nice video, thanks! Its all about movement of
air and fluids and energy period.

I’m not sure you are quite right about breathing through the nose for
‘classical singing’ – generally for any style of singing, surely it is
better to breathe through the mouth? There might be occasions when you want
to breath through the nose, for a slow intake when you have plenty of time,
but you’ll never get the breath quick enough for a full, low breath through
the nose, whatever style you sing! As a professional opera singer, I have
always been advised to breathe through the mouth. 

The sweetness and the tone of your voice adds to the already great video
you made to explain about the diaphragm and the breathing
technique…….thanks for sharing…….hope I see more of these :)

Exercise starts at 5:25
