BALCONYTV.COM 29/01/2007 PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with speech. Air is expelled with the diaphragm as with ordinary breathing, and the pitch is altered with the vocal cords. With the lips closed, this is called humming. A piece of music with a singing part, either a cappella or accompanied, is called a song; someone who sings is called a singer. Most singing involves shaping the voice to form words, but types of voice instrumental music which use open sounds or nonsense syllables ("vocables") also exist, for instance, scat singing and yodeling. Solfege assigns certain syllables to notes in the scale. Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally as a performance or in a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction. Top-quality singers will have instruction and training from coaches throughout their career. According to Alfred Alexander (formally an ENT consultant to the home office), "a singer is a person of adequate musicality, who is gifted with a voice of such power and beauty that competent judges can recommend singing as a career". Alexander belives that 1 in 50,000 in the UK possess such gifts, which means in England (800,000 births a year average) 16 people are born with such a voice a year, making 500 "first class voices" active in any particular generation (taken as 30 years) at any one time.[1] Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir, and may be accompanied by musical instruments, a full orchestra, or a band. Singing with no instrumental accompaniment is called a cappella. At the highest professional level it is imperative that singers continuously practice with drills, voice exercises and strengthening activities and that without constant practice, a singer's range can be significantly decreased, requiring extra rehearsal to regain the voice's previous capability, much in the same way as any professional level musician must practice constantly with their instrument. However singing is a very natural activity and this kind of intensive practice is not usually nescessary for most singers especially outside the field of classical music and where amplification is available, or for semi-professional singers.

depends on how you end a sentence while singing. but carefull if you breath through your mouth and cold air goes in directly to your vocal chords. it would be like throwing hot water and then cold water to your a muscle(it contracts). so breath in slowly, gently and try to heat the air that goes in to your mouth. i hope this helps
Here's a helpful tip if you can't seem to use your diaphram or you don't know if you're using it. Breath with your nose. Breath through your nose and feel as if your stomach is filling up. Don't breath through to the lungs, breath through to the diaphram.
Try giving yourself a little (gentle!) poke at the top of your belly whilst singing - if you're using your diaphragm correctly, your finger should bounce, not sink - ie. your stomach should be a little hard... not soft and squishy.
