MUSCLES USED FOR SINGING

There are many muscles used when you sing. The diaphragm, core (abdominal) muscles, muscles in the larynx, pharynx, oral cavity and intercostal muscles. The intercostal muscles are internal and external around the ribcage. All of these muscles work together when you release (exhale) air in a controlled stream. All of these muscles should be engaged as you exhale.

When you engage these breath supportive muscles while singing, it helps avoid stress and tension in the throat. As air fills the lungs, the ribcage and torso expand. As a singer exhales, the muscles in the larynx allows the vocal cords to come together. This action interrupts a large volume of air escaping from the lungs all at once. It becomes a steady stream of air, instead of a burst of air released immediately. This action builds pressure in the torso, creating a resistance. As the air is slowly released, the vocal cords vibrate.

To feel all these muscles working together, try making a hissing sound like air being let of a tire. The epigastrium (not a muscle) located at the point where your abdominal muscles and diaphragm meet. When the epigastrium is engaged, it tightens the abdomen and diaphragm muscles creating proper breath support when singing.

MUSIC QUOTES:
