  • I'm doing vocal lessons but there's something i want to ask XD!! you should breath through ur mouth or ur nose, and why ?? plz i wanna know really bad

  • Well, it's probably a matter of personal preference. If you can take a breath in through your nose, it'll probably be a cleaner breath, (because of your nose hair, you have a "filter") but you may not always have time to take a breath that way. It's whatever feels most comfortable for you. :)

  • i cant tell if my rib cage is expanded or not...

  • Try lifting your arms above your head and inhaling... then bring your arms down WITHOUT exhaling... you should be able to feel your ribcage expanded. When you exhale you'll feel it going back down again.

  • I have a question, I inhale start to sing but i lose breath fast how should i be doing this inhale and slowly exhale and singing at same time cld you mybe make a vid of that it might sound a bit ridicolus. Thanks for your help :)

  • Hey there, I think you just need to practice "holding on" to your breath. Don't let it out so quickly when you're singing, and you'll be able to sustain it through your phrases.

  • @SZTAYZEL9 i relly want to know the answer...

  • actually really helpful... "keep your ribs expanded" isn't really something you can voluntarily do but the image of an inner tube helps a lot. thanks!

  • Hi, quick question. I sang a song to my girlfriend (because shes a good singer)

    She said that i can't sing it this moment in time but i have the potential (she would tell me if i could or not) Apparently its to do with my breathing that i cant get right. so i hope this helps.

    Do you know anything this that might help me?

  • Hello,

    Your voice is going through some natural changes. Keep singing, and when you get a bit older it should work itself out and you'll know what you're dealing with as far as your voice goes.

  • suhweeet thanks
