BREATH CONTROL WHEN SINGING
Breathing is so natural and automatic to us, it’s hard to believe that we could be doing it wrong. Breath exercises for singing can dramatically improve the caliber of vocal performance.
Each note and phrase are produced by a continuous stream of air being exhaled holding the notes in place. Proper breath work is crucial for any singer!
The description of breath work in vocal pedagogy is described like this: the diaphragm pushes the air from the lungs through the vocal folds (vocal cords). As the air passes through the vocal cords it produces a “train” of air. Now picture a train on the tracks moving forward and the train is air. The train of air is shaped by the resonances or air vibrations of the vocal tract. The train of air moves through the throat into the oral and sinus cavity. The key is to control the rate of speed and volume of air with your muscles.
Inhaling too much air may cause pressure to build in your throat. On the other hand, too little air will weaken the voice. Your body knows instinctively how to inhale. When you speak, you don’t think about how much air to inhale. This is why you should master how to control airflow being exhaled. There are many great vocal exercises to help with breath control. My personal favorites are the Bubble (lip trills) and R Roll (tongue trills). Ask your local vocal coach what exercises are recommended.
MUSIC QUOTE:
“You have to take a deep breath and allow the music to flow through you. Revel in it, allow yourself to awe. When you play allow the music to break your heart with its beauty.” – Kelly White
