STOP BREATHING WITH YOUR CHEST! HOW REVERSE BREATHING IS STRANGLING YOUR SOUND 🫁❌
Description:
Take a deep breath right now. Did your shoulders rise up toward your ears and your chest puff out? If yes, you are using chest breathing, which is one of the most common causes of rapid vocal fatigue! Chest breathing traps tension in your neck, shoulders, and throat, starving your vocal folds of controlled air pressure. To sing long phrases effortlessly, you must master belly breathing (diaphragmatic support). As you inhale, keep your shoulders completely still and allow your lower tummy, ribs, and back to expand outward like a balloon. As you sing, gently pull your abdominal muscles inward to release a steady, controlled stream of air. Controlled breath support from below completely eliminates throat tightness!
Did your shoulders lift when you breathed? Be honest! Drop a "🙌" or say "Learning so much!" in the comments!
