A complex & coordinated activity, singing is a one stop solution to relieve stress, feel happy & have healthy lungs
WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT STRUCTURES FOR SINGING?
The Diaphragm is the most important structure, which functions as the main muscle of breathing. Slow controlled expiration requires strength in the diaphragm which help us sing better. The next most important structure is the larynx or the voice box, which controls the vocal cords.
WHAT DOES THE DIAPHRAGM DO?
The Diaphragm is the main muscle necessary for our normal breathing
It connects the upper & lower body & regulates the connective tissue
Vagus nerve, large blood vessels pass through the Diaphragm
The Diaphragm thus regulates all important structures, controlled via slow deep breathing
HOW SHOULD ONE SING?
Always remember to perform warm up before singing
Good posture is a must
You can do neck movements, practice pursed lip breathing, deep breathing exercises before singing
Listening is a must
Singing can be done by practising simple notes, practising the same note with different variation, karaoke songs, humming, etc.
Screaming should be avoided
Sing within the limits of your voice & breath
