@crazywaterbaby1 You should suck in your belly button, breathe in low (make sure your shoulders don't rise, put your hands on your ribs and feel if they expand - they should), when you breathe in your stomache should 'blow up', while you're holding the rest the way I just told you. At that point you've just breathed in the right way, congradulations :) also, when you sing, open the back of your throat as if you are yawning and stick your tongue against your front teeth. That's it basically :)

I'm a complete beginner with singing. I've had to start it for my course (performing arts). I've no idea what my diaphram, ribs, etc are supposed to be doing. Our teacher said to lift/open something but i've no idea what she's talking about. Nothing moves? My lower stomach just expands but i know that isn't right... Any help?

@eshro hello goodnight i got an answer for u. when you breathe correctly for the exercise u wanna make sure your stomach expands. 1st. 2nd when you sing you wanna sing out of your mouth much like how you talk. the more vibration you feel on the top part of the back of your throat much like you talk you will begin to gain more power and control. understandable?

hello goodnight i got a question i know for someone able to sing you must sing with your diaphragm but my question is where i am supost to breath out from my mouth or nose??
