I suffer from long term severe asthma and I find it a challenge even to breathe normally. This is where your singing breathing exercises have been very helpful to me. I am trying very hard to expand my lung capacity and your exercises gives me focus in helping with my breathing. So, as a side note if I learn how to sing while doing my lung therapy I will be very happy indeed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Have you tried WellO2 breathing aid? It is a Finnish invention to alleviate breathing related symptoms and now that I think about it, it would probably be a good vocal cords maintenance aid for singers too. It "creates a resistance for breathing and at the same time produces warm steam in the airways." I am not a marketer, but have seen the benefits in the family so I can really recommend it.
this has been the single most useful video in understanding the relationship between singing and breath support that so many other youtubers fail to properly explain. i love how straightforward and practical your videos are, and the fact that you include the theory to understand what is happening on a technical level. i also love how down to earth you seem and your positive energy gives me so much motivation, keep it up please!
This video literally helped me not to lose my voice. Really. Because i was always forgetting about breath support and damage my vocal chords later on i was feeling hurt in my throat. That pulse technique helped me relief my throat. I place my hand on my stomach when singing and feel every word i sing in my diaphragm. When in high notes i realise it naturally clinches a little bit, changing the path of the breath towards my neck and all i have to do is open my mouth and sing freely. Because of the old habits, i sometimes try to increase my sound by increasing the voice flow -like yelling- but it again hurts my voice. When your diaphragm moderates your voice flow itself, your throat really does not hurt at all, it is almost like you do not feel your throat at all. And I want to add something from me, if teacher does not mind. When in high notes, if you think you are speaking lightly, like singing to a baby to sleep, it helps greatly remove the strain. Teacher will correct me if i am wrong.. Thank you deeply for the tips, hope to sign for your lessons soon.
I understand the diaphragm breathing, but when I focus on the singing I forget to use it after the first couple of notes, what should I do? By the way, I love the way you explain! Very easy to understand :)
Hi LonelyHowl, This used to happen to me all the time when I first started working my breathing technique. It always feels easier to breathe properly in the exercises and then when you have to apply the technique to the songs there is so much other stuff to focus on. What has helped me is two things: 1) sing in front of the mirror with a hand on your stomach so that you can see and feel the diaphragm move during the whole song. 2) Print out the lyrics to your song and add breath marks (markings where you want to breathe in between phrases). As you sing, look at the lyrics and use the markings to remind you to breathe properly at the right time. I hope that helps. Otherwise please don't hesitate to ask again. I love to geek out on this stuff ;-)
..Nice tips! Problem here is that when I sing I 98.99% of the time inhale dramatically, And thats heavily noticeable in many songs with just a couple of seconds of breath-time, Can you help me fix that please?
I've been watching so many singing teachers on UA-cam but no one was better than you! You explain some things that other don't even try to say. And yet you are much more beautiful than everyone else here😌 Thank you, Ronia!
When you say diaphragmatic pulse, it is a bit confusing because your diaphragm is technically an involuntary muscle. I really like the idea of focusing on the abdominal wall to help engage the diaphragm, but since I cannot specifically control that muscle alone, I think it is important to talk about both the rectus abdominus and the intercostal muscles, as they mainly control the proper breathing apparatus.
@@yeoulee1107 Great question, Yes this is quite common. I actually made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/z0q1QiMN1-s/v-deo.html Hope it helps :)
I am alone in the office now and i started singing along with the exercise. Not sure if anyone around is hearing me sing! lol. Nice exercise there Ronja. Thanks for sharing..
Hello. Great video! I’m still having a hard time doing the diaphragm pulse. Is there any way you could explain this another way for those of us without too much sensation in the belly yet? I’m having a hard time feeling the difference when the pulse is coming from my throat, or chest, or stomach.
@@ikonographicsGood morning/afternoon/evening, from what I understood, diaphragm pulse has similarities when you're hiccuping. The difference is you have to release a burst of air. In other words, exhale quickly but keep your lungs filled with air enough to reach more notes and to sing more diaphragm support. Remember don't breath out a lot of air or you'll lose your breath. Have a good posture and your chest should be kept expand. Coming from a Filipino 14 years old.
I've seen lots of breathe support instructions before. What I do is inhale, then let the air stay in my diaphragm (with this, I mean keeping the diaphragm inflated) and then just passing the what I call "weight" from the throat to the diaphragm and letting the "weight" stay there until I'm done with a line. The thing is, I'm just a professional bathroom singer lol. Am I doing the right thing? Thanks.
Hi Justin, Thank for your question. Being a professional bathroom singer is awesome! If I'm understanding you correctly, you are focusing the "weight" on your diaphragmatic support instead of your throat? If so, then that is correct :) You might also want to focus on exhaling a steady stream of air so that you continue supporting your voice throughout your phrases. I've made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/qaJHuD-1qyE/v-deo.html Let me know how it goes.
@@singgeek Thank you so much for this! I've actually practiced with this breathing video before the comment so... The only problem I have now is that I feel like there's a little lump in my throat when singing at the top of my range (I think it's on the top of my range since I get past that "lump"). It's doesn't feel really big, just a really, really small "lump" that stops me. With breath support, I feel like I could go more if that "lump" didn't happen to be there. I have a feeling that it's my larynx being so high up. I've seen your video on the Larynx category but it didn't help me with my problem. I'm thinking of giving it another try anytime soon. Thank you very much!
Thank you for explaining! I downloaded smule lately and got self consious about my flat notes plus my sister criticizing me completely due to my whole lifeline singing by myself- so Im trying to learn how to sing properly from her however she cant explain how the supporting thing works properly that it took me awhile to understand till I saw your video-!
Hi Singgeek! I am still having a bit of trouble doing the Diaphragm Pulses? Do I push my upper stomach in and out while I exhale? Thankyou and love watching your videos!!
Thank you so much for your very valuable fun lessons. I'm watching all of your videos. Could you please tell me what the app you're using with metronome and chords for warm-ups in your lesson?!
I wonder, is it possible to learn to change the way you breathe automatically from the typical way we do it these days to the more deep way singers need to do while singing? And is it worth doing? Is it healthier to breathe this way by default overall than to breathe "normally"? I ask this because I remember reading or hearing something somewhere about how babies and even toddlers by default breathe with their stomach, but for some reason as we grow into adolescence and puberty we get "lazier" about breathing. I wonder why this is. Babies may be the best singers if they could be taught haha
I need a little more instruction on this please. Are you filling your stomach up with air and creating pressure in your stomach by tightening it up almost like doing a sit-up while you're singing, or does the stomach stay loose and air just coming from it instead?
Hi CHRISTI XX, Great question! The diaphragm pulse is meant for you to feel the connection between your breath support and your voice. You "pulse" by varying the amount of air that you exhale so that you can feel the the difference in the support. When exhaling, make sure to keep the rib cage open so that your diaphragm is free to release it's tension (this is what happens when you exhale). I've made a video on exhalation for singing here: ua-cam.com/video/zM2GDKDLr8s/v-deo.html Hope this answers your question, otherwise feel free to ask again :)
Hello. Great video! But I’m still having a hard time doing the diaphragm pulse. Is there any way you could explain this another way for those of us without too much sensation in the belly yet? I’m having a hard time feeling the difference when the pulse is coming from my throat, or chest, or stomach.
@@Hammeeeeuur you know the feeling when you do sit-ups? This is how I associate it. Try to imagine a corset around your abdomen and lower ribs that you squeeze with your abs!
@@Evaa1990 Do you mean like the action of tensing the abdomen/rib area muscles (like flexing), or is it more like pulling in your belly (like when you wanna hide your belly fat for example)? Thanks!
I had been singing for fun for decades never knowing a thing called breath support. I have heard about this from several educators now. But I can't personally experience any difference in the vocal sound whether I have diaphraghm support or not. All sound will come via the throat the vocal cords so singing with throat is a misnomer. It is better said singing with support or without. What does diaphragm support really mean? From what I understood from your videos alone. It means breathe so you feel your diaphragm and rib cage expanded. Then hold on the expanded rib cage as you exhale (that is sing out the air). Did I get it right? How can I tell the difference? Is the singing without support supposed to sound thin?
hi) as i understood correctly you shoul find connection with your voice and moving of diaphragm(pushing outward) instead of just pulse on the throat without any changes below? Thank you
Are you supposed to push your stomach in when you sing or kind of tighten your abs to hold the breath? I’m struggling and feeling like I’m never gonna get it
¡Hi! Sorry to bother you, i'm trying to get it but i'm puzzled... Were you pushing your stomach with your hands "consciously" or the movement was caused by the way of breathing? Thanks 😊❤
I'm just seeing these videos. I've been singing for 30 years, and here lately it's like I have completely forgotten all technique when singing. I'll be singing along and on a song that I have a lot of high notes my throat gets super raw and tight, my voice gives out very quickly and my abs hurt like I have done a million sit ups! I feel I am breathing from my diaphragm, however it's as if it's getting trapped somewhere and my notes are getting clinched. How can I fix this? I've only watched two of your videos so far but I will be subscribing as they are really good. Thanks.
I have a very bad problem. I have enough breath to sing, but not enough breath to support. I inhale enough to sustain notes and have ease, but don’t really use the breath for support. I don’t know how to use it to support. My voice range is also very confusing. I am male. I can drag a chest to F#4. Occasionally a G4. But the upper extremities of that placement are very tense. I feel as though some parts of my voice are unexplored. I can do head voice up to a G5. Occasionally an A5. But also very weak, unsupported and unreliable tone. I cannot “mix my voice”. Some people say my range is either tenor or alto because of using the head voice to mimick certain female singers. But I think it’s more baritone. As the speaking voice is relatively low. I can low as F#2. E2 it hurts my throat and is almost mostly air.
What would be some good advice for getting over hearings yourself when you’re first starting? I listen to myself when I sing along with a song but I hate singing without music. Sounds dumb I know.
Hi, I have this issue where I can support from my diaphragm but then my throat tenses as well? the notes sound full but I can feel throat tension, but I also have acid reflux so could that be the reason my throat feels tense? I ask music teachers when I demonstrate and they say I use breath support but my throat still hurts idk
Here is something that I am not totally clear on. I understand the expansion of the cavities during inhale. During exhale (singing), is the sign that it is supported that it stays expanded, or should it be collapsing? Thanks.
My question is that did we have to hold breath while singing or we have to sing after exhalation (sorry for my English I'm not native eng speaker,I will satisfied if u and answer me,(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
When i am singing with the help of my breath support then it is very great experience for me , my singing is quite good (commented by my teachers and friends) then is it necessary to sing from diaphagm instead of breath support only?
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question that I hope you can help me with. When using our diaphragm, do we tighten the stomach muscles or push the stomach out?
Hi Kamal Bensra, You are so welcome and great question. I do not recommend that you tighten your stomach muscles. When exhaling it is helpful to keep the ribcage expanded to allow the diaphragm to release your air with control. I've made two other videos about breathing technique which you might find helpful. Inhalation technique: ua-cam.com/video/e-9LPpsBidE/v-deo.html Exhalation technique: ua-cam.com/video/e-9LPpsBidE/v-deo.html Hope it helps :)
@@singgeek i don't understand , when we hit high note ,we add a diaphragm pulse .It means we have to push the stomach out more when we have already expanded , isn't it ?
Hi! i just want to ask, as I exhale and start to sing phrases, should my belly and ribs go in gradually or keep them as they were when i inhaled? Thank you!
suleman haroon When you take a breath, you want it to be deep and wide. Your stomach should expand both out and horizontally. Put your hands on the middle and the side of your belly. Both of your hands should move outwards. As you sing, you want your core to be involved. You’re going to control and push that air out evenly as you sing. Notice how I said “evenly”; don’t push it all out at once! Best of luck!
You can really hear the difference between the 1st and 2nd.
I'm so happy to hear that the difference between the two was clear to you. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it :)
CHRISTI XX It’s funny but I have had lots of vocal coaches in my life but it is the first time when I really hear the difference:D
i still cants get what i want because i have a lot of throat tension....

i love your smile
Are you pushing your diaphragm out each time with each ah ah? Or pushing it in?
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question that I hope you can help me with. When using our diaphragm, do we tighten the stomach muscles or push the stomach out?
Hi Kamal Bensra, You are so welcome and great question. I do not recommend that you tighten your stomach muscles. When exhaling it is helpful to keep the ribcage expanded to allow the diaphragm to release your air with control. I've made two other videos about breathing technique which you might find helpful.

Hope it helps :)
Singgeek thank you so much. I’ll watch the videos 🙏😊
@@singgeek Thank you so much for your reply! Will heed your advice. Have a great day!
@@singgeek i don't understand , when we hit high note ,we add a diaphragm pulse .It means we have to push the stomach out more when we have already expanded , isn't it ?
How to support head and mixed voice with the diaphragm?
The second one reminded me of Vitas, there is a song, he sang like that
What should be the position of the abdomen while singing?
This means the abdomen should be forward or backward¿
When we're singing , we have to keep our stomachs up?
Should be relaxed.
Hi! i just want to ask, as I exhale and start to sing phrases, should my belly and ribs go in gradually or keep them as they were when i inhaled? Thank you!
I'd love to know too
Me too Id like to know?
tenx but my vision was professional singers but my birthing was not enough what can i do ithink my english was not enogh so what is your advise
Is that in chest voice?
I can’t use my diaphragm to make that pulse :( do you think I do something wrong?
Cant get the 2nd ah. I deel it in my throat😕
Please tell us in video how to inhale and what we do after inhale with belly when we sing
suleman haroon When you take a breath, you want it to be deep and wide. Your stomach should expand both out and horizontally. Put your hands on the middle and the side of your belly. Both of your hands should move outwards.
As you sing, you want your core to be involved. You’re going to control and push that air out evenly as you sing. Notice how I said “evenly”; don’t push it all out at once!
Best of luck!
