Help With Singing
I love to sing, but frankly, my singing's just not the best. It's not like i have the time or money , or even PLANS to get a singing coach, I'd just like to improve my voice for my own enjoyment.
SO.... that being said... can anyone help me? Techniques, anything like that? For example, I read up on it a lot, but I don't know how to sing or breathe using my diaphragm, or rather, I don't quite know if I'm doing it (right). And when I sing, I feel like my voice is... not strained... just kind of... small? I need to open up my windpipe more or something... Anyway, I'm not looking to hit Mariah Carey notes or something, I'd just like to improve myself a bit.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell me something like, "Oh, that shoudn't matter, just sing with your heart, sing for fun" and all that good stuff. I already do, but I want to sound better for MY OWN PERSONAL ENJOYMENT.:)
Please and thank you^_^

You must have heard people saying "Sing from your diaphragm", but what exactly do they mean? How can your diaphragm sing? What they actually mean is to use your diaphragm to control your singing breath.
Well, you must actually practice with good vocal exercises to perfect your singing breath. Singing from the diaphragm is a complex muscle/breath co-ordination that many singing teachers find it difficult to their students in words effectively. That is why there is so much confusion on this topic.
Just to give you an idea of how your diaphragm works when you are breathing, try this breathing exercise. Stand up straight with a relaxed posture, and then take a big yawn - Ahhhhhh! While you are taking that big yawn, notice how your tummy expands outwards? That is the diaphragm at work, pushing out your tummy so that your lungs can drop lower so that you can take in more air.
try this exercise-Now put your palms lightly on your tummy. Take in a deep long breath. As you are breathing in, extend your tummy outward and sideways as the air comes in. When you breathe out, pursed your lips together to release a controlled stream of air and at the same time, with your tummy becoming smaller and back to its natural state as air is being released. Now this is how you will feel when you are singing from the diaphragm.
i hope i helped anything else you wanna knnow dont hesitate to ask

Hi, I sing some. I can help you with the breathing part and using your diaphram. The one thing you have to remmeber is use your voice, don't immitate because you can't really go far or develop your voice as fast. Like ok. When you breath in, your stomach blows up. Pretend you are blowing air into a baloon. then so your stomach expands wen you breath in. Then when you breath out...you use your diaphram to take the air out slowly.........i hope this helped...goodluck!
