Without the proper diaphragmatic breathing(belly breathing, abdominal breathing or deep breathing) your voice can sound unnatural, tense, forced & weak. The correct diaphragmatic breathing makes your voice more relaxed, more natural, more powerful and richer with more control in phrasing, which means that you will be able to hold your breath longer. Here are the 3 steps that are involved in creating your voice. 1. Breathing in (Respiration) With The Diaphragmatic Breathing -> 2. Voicing (Phonation) -> 3. Vibration (Resonance) And let's learn the 1st step, Respiration (Breathing in) with The Diaphragmatic Breathing in this blog~! [1] Breathing in: Respiration with the Diaphragmatic Breathing ; Your lungs store and filter air by exchanging gas between oxygen that is...
As a singer your body is part of your instrument and your voice is produced through many complex steps which are the power source, the vibrators(or oscillators), and the shapers(resonators & articulators).

ISSN 20018762 Each part is intertwined and connected to other parts of the body to make it work as one organization, and therefore if one part is broken or doesn't work properly then that small part is going to affect the whole body. Have you had a tooth ache before ? Because of that small part of the body is in poor condition, the whole body will be affected by it and won't be able to...
* How your voice is created, part 2 The resonators(or amplifiers) and articulators(or modifiers) shape your voice into recognizable sound. Your voice is shaped just as how the recorder(a woodwind musical instrument) works. When you exhale the air from your mouth, the air will vibrate your lips and the vibration will create sound in the recorder and the sound will be determined by the size, shape & hardness of the recorder. (I) The Resonators(or amplifiers) of your voice: Chest, Tracheal tree(including Larynx, Trachea, Bronchus, Bronchioles, Alveoli), Upper part of Throat, Pharynx, Larynx, Sinuses, Nasal Cavity, Oral Cavity produce sound waves.

You can read the part three of my life story here... How Can You Benefit From My Story? I have been teaching for 27 years now and I am still studying, learning, performing, recording and teaching how to sing and play piano. I have taken numerous lessons and courses at colleges, have read many books & online resources and have watched a lot of videos related to singing and piano. I had many music teachers and some of them have had a big influence on me. However the complete structure & method of my teaching came from my life experiences of teaching students and learning on my own by reading, researching & teaching experience of figuring out how the...
