Need-to-Know Breathing Base

Diaphragmatic breathing is key for strong vocal shows.

Put your hand on your belly, breathe deep till you feel your belly grow, not your chest. This base way helps make your breath strong for big parts in songs and long notes.

Main Breathing Ways

The “hiss exercise” makes you control your breath better through a set way:

Breathe in deep from your nose for 4 counts
Breathe out slow through your teeth, make a steady hiss sound for 8 counts
Keep the air moving the same all through the exercise

Plan Your Breaths

Quick breaths are needed for smooth singing.

Find spots in songs to take fast, quiet breaths. These quick breaths help keep the beat and make sure you have enough air.

Start with slow songs to learn this right before trying faster ones.

Put It All Together

Breath mapping makes getting ready to perform better:

Put breath spots in your song words
Practice taking deep, fast breaths at these spots
Keep your rhythm the same when you breathe in
Make your breaths quiet to keep your singing good

Good breathing ways should not be seen by others but are the base of great singing.

With steady practice of these main breathing ways, singers build the strength and control needed for top shows.

How to Know Your Songs by Heart for the Best Show

Link words with clear pictures you can remember.

Try learning while you do other stuff by hearing your own recordings. This makes remembering smoother.

Warm Up Your Voice Everyday

Must-Do Daily Voice Warm-Ups

Main Voice Warm-Ups for the Best Show

1. Lip Rolls to Start

Lip trills help keep your vocal cords safe and start your breath right.

Make a boat motor sound with your lips lightly shut, moving from low to high sounds. Do this for 2-3 minutes to relax your face muscles and start warming up your voice.

2. Building Sound with “NG” Sound

Do scales with the “ng” sound, starting at a comfy pitch. Spend 5 minutes going up and down the scale, focusing on clear sound making and right sound place.

3. Five-Note Scale Work

Use the five-note scale with these vowel sounds to better control your voice and widen your range:

Ah (as in father)
Eh (as in bed)
Ee (as in see)
Oh (as in go)
Oo (as in blue)

Start at the lowest sound you’re comfy with and slowly go up, saying each vowel clearly for 7-10 minutes.

Tips to Care for Your Voice

Drink water all through your practice
Don’t strain your voice
Keep practicing every day
Keep an eye on your breath help
