How to breathe correctly when singing?

Inhale vertically downward through the nose and mouth, and suck the air to the bottom of the lungs. Be careful not to lift your shoulders. When air is inhaled, the lower ribs will expand. On one side of the abdomen, the diaphragm will gradually expand, so that the abdomen will expand forward and left and right sides, and the lower abdomen will be forced to contract without expansion.

The back should be upright, and the spine should hardly move, but both sides can move, and it must be extended downward and left and right. At this point, the gas is pushed to the sides and back and stored there, held there, and then exhaled slowly.

Step 2 diverge

When singing with air, you should still breathe in. This is very important, just like inflating a bicycle, you can't relax at once. There is also a problem of keeping breathing. To keep breathing, you must keep breathing all the time in the process of singing, control your breath to spit out slowly, save your breath and exhale evenly. This is called breath confrontation.

In the process of breathing and inhaling, we should pay attention to the feeling of stiff breathing and take the initiative to relax the whole body expression. The tense part is the diaphragm and ribs, and the ribs are like a full balloon. We should let the sound sit on it and pull it down, so as not to let the balloon float, that is to say, we should pull the breath and not let it lift up, which involves the problem of a breath fulcrum.

3. There is breath support when singing.

Support point means that the sound should have a foothold, that is, the diaphragm and the lower rib are used as support points. When we cough or laugh, we can directly feel its support. People who have not been trained in breathing often blush, have thick necks, prominent veins, stiff singing, unable to go up in high notes, unable to go down in low notes and so on. These are all related to the failure to maintain the breathing support point.

Instead, I mastered the breathing method and had the feeling of supporting point. Then when I flash and sing, I feel that the sound seems to fall on the breath we control, that is to say, the sound is supported by breathing, which is not only pleasing to the ear, but also free to make various changes.

4. Different phrases use different gases.

When we do thoracoabdominal breathing, according to the different requirements of the songs (or phrases) we sing, the strength of breathing momentum and the method of exhaling are also different. Below we will introduce several different breathing exercises.

1), breathe slowly and breathe slowly. This is a method that we often use in training and singing. That is, the chest naturally stands up, and the breath is slowly sucked into the lower part of the lung with the nose and mouth, the diaphragm drops, the rib muscles on both sides expand outward (that is, the waist circumference expands), and the lower abdomen contracts inward.

This kind of inhalation needs natural relaxation, smoothness and gentleness, just like how we feel when we smell the flowers. The feeling of smelling the flowers makes us inhale deeply, just like doing deep breathing exercise, but don't inhale too hard, just hold your chest and upper abdomen gently, and then exhale slowly. Pay attention to keep inhaling when exhaling, and control the ribs and diaphragm, that is, control the breath to make it spit out slowly, steadily, evenly, continuously and coherently.

There is a feeling that can help us understand the state of keeping the ribs and diaphragm when exhaling: it is the action of slowly blowing off the dust on the table after inhaling slowly. We need to blow long breath here, that is, we are doing long breath exercises. We often say: "Long audio video blows dust, short audio video blows wax", which is a feeling of exhaling.

2) Inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, exhale according to the requirements of slow breathing.

We often use it in singing practice, because you have a long pause when inhaling between sentences and words, and you often inhale by "stealing gas" without being found. This is the function of fast inhalation and slow respiration.

In order to cultivate the control of breathing, we can take some etudes and some phrases in songs to do word practice, and the effect is good. Caruso said that whether a singer can set foot on the road to success depends first on whether he has established a solid foundation for the manipulation and application of respiratory organs.

Singing voice:

The vocalization when singing is not exactly the same as that when speaking. It is wrong to sing in a dialogue way or in an enlarged way. It will be colorless and musical. Therefore, the pronunciation can not meet the needs of singing. We must pay attention to the method of vocalization, and help people who learn to sing to grind ordinary vocal cords into beautiful, pleasant, lasting, scientific and artistic sounds.
