One of the most important things that you will need to know as a serious singer is singing from your/my diaphragm. You probably see this being said all around the internet when people mention how to sing.
You may wonder what exactly is your diaphragm? How in the world are you supposed to sing from it if you don’t even know what it is in the first place? Well today’s blog post is about helping you out with this now!

What and Where is it?

This is a sheet of muscle underneath your lungs which helps you regulate your breathing to make sure you get the most out of each breath.Now that out know where and what it is...

How to Locate Your/My Diaphragm Exercise

You can actually locate your diaphragm by laying flat on the floor and taking a book. Then placing it on your stomach. Breathe in as much air as you can while you’re laying on the ground. At the same time while you’re breathing in air you’re going to be pushing the book up as high as you can with your abdominal/stomach muscles. The muscle you’re actually using at this time is your diaphragm and this should help you become more aware of it.
Now try singing. The muscle you feel moving in your stomach is your/my  diaphragm right there!:-]

How to Start Using it to Support Your Breathing when You Sing

Place your hand on your stomach and at the same time expand your stomach out by breathing in air to fill up your stomach. So you will be breathing in and expanding your stomach outwards at the same time. Once you have in enough air go ahead and breathe out while pulling your stomach in at the same time.

How to Strengthen Your Diaphragm

Basically you are going to stand up straight and then practice panting like a dog. (See Video above!)
While you are panting like a dog  practice sing a  simple  song like  “Mary had a Little Lamb” or  “Old McDonald had a Farm” this  will  help make your  diaphragm stronger when you sing. Practice this  at least 5 minutes or more several times a week until you are singing from your diaphragm naturally. This may take some time so be patient.

I hope this helped you out today:-] You now know where your diaphragm is, how to use it and how to strengthen it.
