    The document provides instructions and exercises for developing proper breathing techniques for singing. It explains that breathing is the fuel for singing and controlling the breath is key to controlling vocal tone. It describes the muscles and organs involved in breathing and how to feel their movement through various breathing exercises. The exercises teach how to inhale and exhale using the diaphragm and ribs to support lung capacity and vocal range. Maintaining an open throat and relaxing the body are emphasized to allow free movement of air and vocal cords.

    Question

    How do you
    vocalize?
    BREATH is the fuel for singing. The tone we produce when we sing
    rests on a cushion of air; thus, the breath is the fuel for the sounds
    we produce. The more control you have over the airflow, the more
    control you will have over your singing tone. It is how important it is
    to supply the fuel properly. The upper airway needs to be open and
    relaxed.
    Breathing is movement – the movement of air, movement of
    muscles and organs, and movement of energy. A healthy voice
    means free movement of air and all the muscles involved in
    breathing, and free movement of the vocal folds.
    In singing, we want to create a feeling of firm support for the lungs so
    that as we use the air, the rib cage does not collapse. It is a feeling of
    nonviolent resistance keeping the rib cage high and wide and not
    allowing the ribs to drop into the waistline. The singer must learn to
    inhale quicker and exhale slower than in normal reflexive breathing.
    EXERCISE 1
    Here’s a simple exercise to discover the muscles and organs involved with
    breathing as a singer:

     Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.


     Lean over and rest your forearms across your knees, relaxing your head,
    neck, and body.
     Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose.
     Feel your back and stomach expand; relax into your lap, while you are
    expanding your lower abdomen. • Exhale slowly through your mouth and
    gently pull your tummy away from your thighs, lifting your abdomen in.
     Let the chest stay relatively still.
    EXERCISE 2
    Exercises to Develop Strength in the Breathing Muscles

    1. Begin with a standing singer’s posture, holding the chest high and
    wide.
    2. Inhale through the nose as you expand the rib cage and lungs to
    capacity.
    3. Release any tension in the chest or shoulder area. Now exhale, using
    a hissing sound like air escaping from a tire, as you count slowly
    from one to eight.
    4. Resist the inclination to allow the rib cage to collapse while exhaling.
    EXERCISE 3
    • Inhale through the nose as you expand the rib cage and lungs to capacity.
    • To let the breath out, count aloud extremely slowly from one to six (no
    faster than one number per second), with much openness and resonance in
    the voice, constantly feeding the tone a great deal of warm air.
    • To keep the chest high and wide, think of expanding the rib cage again as
    you speak each number.
    • Your full breath should be used up when you finish speaking the number
    six. Now take another full breath and begin again. As your breath control
    grows, increase the count to 8, 10, 12, and so forth (remember to keep the
    same slow tempo or speed).
    EXERCISE 4
    • To strengthen muscles, hold the chest high and wide, and inhale through
    the nose as you expand the rib cage and lungs to capacity.
    • Now sing the following exercise, thinking about the support and control
    provided by the diaphragm as it slowly rises, while the chest stays high,
    wide, and quiet. Begin on a comfortable note in your range and sing up
    and then down the scale, making each note staccato and using the
    following sounds and notes.
