BREATHING RULES FOR SINGING
# DON'T OVERFILL YOUR LUNGS:
When inhaling air for singing, don’t fill
your lungs to full capacity and stretch
your diaphragm to the maximum. I
know that this rule sounds strange as
we usually want to inhale as much air
as we can, but there’s a reason for it.
When the diaphragm is stretch to it’s
fullest, it’s hard to control it when it
first starts to relax. Just like any other
muscle, or even a rubber band that’s
stretch to capacity, there’s an initial
kick which for our purposes means that
the notes sang will sound forced and
loud. So, make sure you lower your
diaphragm as much as possible while
still maintaining control over it. Don’t
overstretch it .
