- It's safe to say that every human being would consider themselves a breathing "expert"; however, the breath used for speaking is not enough airflow and pressure in order to activate the vocal folds for sustained singing.
In this video, you will learn all about the respiration process and how a singing deeply breathes and supports the breath in order sing expressively, powerfully, and dynamically. In order to do this properly, you have to have the proper posture. Don't skip this video, this is an important precursor this this video :).

No Judgment zone! How many of you have been taking shallow breaths or were unaware of how to breathe deeply before you watched this video? I can't tell you how many years I didn't understand this process until I started to take private lessons in my teens. It changed my life!
It sounds great but then I sing and breathing goes so fast that I really can't take all this into account! Am I doing something wrong?
@@FranciscaRigaud I guess if you practice it for long enough it works with muscle memory, so you'll be doing this without thinking about it. I think it's basics, cause singers on stage have to focus on performing, and doing what they should do the best, and not at "Did my diaphragm expand enought right now?" and things like that, it should come automatically ;p
@@InsomniaQ Many thanks and you are so right... I suppose one needs to practice, practice and practice and then it becomes a second nature!!!!
what about singers like lady gaga robyn exhaling inhaling on mic after phrase? also how do you calm heavy breathing down after intense concert
can you show how to calm heavy breathing down after intense concert?
I remember my voice teacher trying to teach all this. He used to tell us to "imagine" pushing our ribs out... LOL. Hate when the piano tries to get in the last word...
Hahahahaha!!! You have no idea how many times that happened while filming this series 😂😂😂😂😂.
the thumbnail is hilarous 😂😂
HAHAHAHAH!!!!! You should see the one that I made for Lip Trills!
lol
😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks so much. I've read and heard much about this technique, but this is the clearest, most complete demonstration I've ever seen. Learned so much. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you! I was really hopi g it would make sense, so this means a lot 😀.
I think i'm finally starting to get what breath support should feel like ! Thank you for that !
I just started practicing hiss exercise but always lost my breath in around 20seconds. But after applying what you said, I can hold it up to 40seconds immediately!! Thank you so much!! It really helped me to breath properly 💜
Thank you Katie, I'm a professional singer and I've never heard the breath in such details. Very helpful.
Your video is the best explanation with demonstration of breathing control I have seen. I read books and watched other video lessons, and practiced, was still struggling or confusing with different techniques. Now I finally get right instructions that fit me, am feeling confident moving forward with vocal training. Thank you so so much ! I joined to your patreon program for guitar /Uke as well.
I teach MS & HS Chorus, and I can't wait to share this with my students - your video is so well paced, so clean, and describes this so beautifully. We always do a breathing unit, and you will add so much! THANK YOU!
Thank you, this is something similar to what one of my cycling training partners was trying to explain to me about, when trying to get the optimum of cycling power when bicycle racing when at an all out effort is required, may peace be unto you!
There was a video I saw years ago that explained everything you mentioned in this video. I searched for that video several times this year and could never find it again.
I’m in awe right now after watching this. You not only explained everything that that girl did, but you did it in great detail and also explained why you have to do all this.
Thank you so much!! God blessed me with this video just now. May He bless you, too ❤
Really enjoying this series. Thank you!
This is kinda hard but I’m determined I’ve always wanted to sing💙 thank you for such a detailed video
The last step in the breathing process is actually gold. I can speak for myself and i focused too much at breathing "into" the stomach that i missed that oppurtunity, now i can easily hit 1-2 Notes higher in every register!
This is the best breath support video I ever found on CZcams. Thanks a lot
woah!!! this is a great tutorial!! i suddenly feel a lot stronger vocally :-)
Excellent lesson, very similar to how my voice teacher explained it many years ago.
Awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that 😀😀😀😀.
You are great. I have been read, searched for years to understand the breathing. every one is saying differently. I was very tired of trying all and being upset. However, you are perfect. You explain very clearly. I appreciated much. 😁😁😁😁
Awesome explanation. Really helps a lot. Thank you
This video was the missing piece I needed!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥
Excellent and educational video, really good explanation of the technique.
Finally someone explaining things from a tangible perspective. This video has really helped a lot. Keep up with the good work, and thank you so much!
I’m so happy that this helped you! Thank you so much for watching, and I appreciate your kind words.
how sweet, precise and kind you are !
thank you for that !!
Awww!!! This made my day! Thank you so much for being so kind! 😀😀😀😀😀
clear easy to follow and an engaging presentation
Thank you Sensei, very meditative, made sense. "Breathing, I'm great at it". Watches video, Ohhh, then again...:)
Great graphics and explanation, like the arrow technique. I caught the fun sound effect too:) Helpful information, I didn't know, now I do. This is why you are our Singing Sensei 😍😘💃💛🌿
Teaching is an art and You’re amazing 🙏
Thanks for explaining this in your unique way. I feel like I understand better than I ever have!
Your so helpful, please keep up your good work
Your explanation is devine just like you
Thank you, thank you. I’m ready to add singing to my ukulele playing but know my breath doesn’t support singing after NOT singing for decades. It is sad. But this is a great start and I will practice what you’ve taught us here.
I love your speaking voice🤗
Thank you this is very helpful❤️❤️

When u sad this 6:34 it worked for me for the 1st time. Thank u so much!!!
thank you
Hi! You're videos are truly amazing but I still have some question. How do you tell whether you have a good/bad breath support while singing? I've done a lot of exercise for a long time about breathing but when I started to sing, I can't really tell the difference that's why I question myself if I applied what I have learned.
This is awesome, I’m excited to practice! I’ve known how to breathe from diaphragm, but I think my biggest problem was I was taking too deep of breaths and therefore that throat thing (😂) was shutting and putting tension on my throat. This clears stuff up, thank you!
I’m so glad that this helped ! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it.
@@OneMusicSchool anytime!
Thanks
When ever I inhale or exhale when singing, should I inhale from the mouth and out from the nose or vice versa? I've been scouring for a good video about how to improve breathing, and there's something not clicking. This video is so detailed, and it's frustrating that I can't understand. Hopefully when quarantine is over, and I start taking vocal lessons, they can teach me in person. I might understand more that way. It's just hard for me to know if I'm doing it right.
Sometimes it’s either. I have t really noticed until I sang a phrase and kept track of whether it was through my nose or my mouth. Just make sure it feels natural and you’re not forcing anything. I hope that helps.
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you so much!
Breathing in through your nose will moisturize the air you are breathing in. It isn't always possible to breathe in quickly through your nose between phrases, but whenever possible breathe in through your nose. It will help keep your throat from drying out while singing.
I feel the same way. That I’m broken 😂😂😂
Wow that's very helpful
I’m so happy that this helped 😀z
I am struggling with the support/arrows pushing in part because I am not sure what it's suppose to feel like. Whenever I try to support, my lower abdomen pushes in. Any tips?
Hi, thank you for this but i have a question when we exhale we must contract a little obliques but when i contract it it contract my abs this is right ?
Bendición me encanta gracias amiga Saludos desde Marbella España wow nice thank you gracias amiga Saludos
😀😀😀😀
thank you very much :)
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "brushing your tongue bad breath" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Honulian Wiffy Remover - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
I sometimes breath in and feel a little tightness in my throat despite my stomach going our..
I have a sliding hiatal hernia which seems to be sliding up when I sing because I have massive reflux for days after singing a lot of high notes. I think I'm doing the breath support correctly but not sure.
Ive been singing with my breath to much so like I get out of breath a lot...
I love all your videos!!! Can u make a video to teach how to play “ the climb” by Miley Cyrus on Ukulele ? Thanks
I think that's such a cute song ! A lot of my students request that song still.
hii i have a song on youtube call surley he able singing live I wont to know if my airflow is ok
Can you make dusk till dawn by zayn on guitar
I love you 🤩🤩😍
Do we inhale through our nose or mouth? thanks!
I have a question, am I supposed to push my stomach to exhale?because it doesn’t go back unless I lay down.
Not true! ... but it's a very common misconception. It's actually not true that singing needs more air pressure than speaking in order to activate the vocal cords. As a matter of fact neither singing, nor speaking needs any air-pressure (or even air-flow) at all to activate the vocal cords. What makes the muscles of the vocal cords vibrate are bio-electrical impulses from the brain going through a branch of the vagus nerve to innervate the vocal cords.
The voice is not a wind instrument! We don't need to "blow" any air whatsoever through the wind pipe. Air-Flow is just for aesthetic purposes, not to set the vocal cords into motion. This understanding can help students achieve to sing phrases at lengths that they previously did not think possible.
AND: Thanks for the 3 stages of breathing, starting from low to up. It's a great help to think of it that way when someone has trouble breathing in a relaxed manner.
I literally tried standing in the same position as the thumbnail and somehow it worked
This demonstration seems really clear, but I can't seem to manage the ribcage expansion part of the inhale. If I exhale completely, my stomach drops and expands automatically on my inhale, but it seems like I can't expand my ribs without both raising my shoulders, and sucking back in my stomach where the initial expansion occurred. Has anybody managed to overcome this? I'd really appreciate some pointers.
Try thinking breathing into your back if you don't know how try placing a hand on your lower back and breathing into your hands while they're placed on your lower back
Also if you are getting a really good deep expansion of the ribs the stomache might come in. However the shoulders shouldn't move much
I feel confused about the rib expansion. Is it voluntary or involuntary?
How can i do this while singing?
No matter what i do i can't do this "rib" part, and when i breathe out all of my air is gone in a second no mater how hard i try to control it :(
hi I have a song on youtube call moving on I wont to know if iam breathing right on this song or not
When in exhale isn't it contracting abdomen muscel?
How come everyone talks about the breathing part but not really the singing part? I get that the breath is the most important, but ... how do you actually SUPPORT your voice AFTER you breathe? That's the part I don't get. A thousand videos later, all talking about the breathing, but not the singing while supporting part. How does one "SUPPORT" the voice after breathing in correctly?
Use your poop muscles. Going to the bathroom is a natural act so you should not feel any tension. You definitely dont want to firm up your abs to support the breath...that is not natural and will introduce tension when singing. That is my interpretation of support.
I quit smoking
Yay
School has me watching this
When I try taking deep breaths, I feel tension In my throat (soft palette and behind toung), am I taking in too much air
I have the same problem 😢 hope we'll get an answer soon 🥰
hi i have a song on youtube call i do anything for you i wont to know if i am singing with support
7:26
How exactly do you push down cause I'm confused
Try to focus on flexing the intercostal muscles rather than squeezing the lower part of the abdomen. I hope that helps :).
I have asthma and this hurts ow
Hej. Do I inhale thru my mouth or thru my nose? Also my tongue is gettin tensed up. Do I just allow air to come in because when I Breathe in my tongue falls back into my throat ..
I don’t Understand anything how should we do the 2 steps of breathing
My belly does not expand that much. Could that be related to the fact that I am thin?
Now I know what is the PURPOSE OF THIS LESSON😪. I think this just an exercise, I don't know that u need to do this while singing😪. Btw thanks
I just pulled a muscle! 😳
Oh no! Think “gentle” and don’t over do it.
why does my body hurt when i try to breathe like that
Maybe you're not really relaxing
I used a straw instead of my fist too blow out seemed to give me more of the feeling from the abs
Total concentration breathing
Plug in baby, there I go...
Lady, how do you change your clothes and hairstyle so quickly??
BTW you are beautiful! s2s2 and thx for the lessons!
I’m still super confused
I don't sing, my voice in speaking is not good either. I think it brain,mi think too much.
I couldn’t follow the squeeze part too clearly… if I do that, I end up also squeezing my belly…
I can't do this sitting down....and putting my hand below the bellybutton.....too big belly😁
You look like Madonna... which (I mean) the mother of Jesus
Made me burp..am i doing it right?
I don't sing,
AMY LAUDE 😂😂😂INDIANS CAN RELATE IT 😅😅😅😅
that belly out crap is useless, dont make people waste time
Finally someone explaining things from a tangible perspective. This video has really helped a lot. Keep up with the good work, and thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
