| "Breathing Problems? Step Inside..."- Mack10souljah *edited version to help those people who didn't understand the first time. In order to breath for a long time and to use the full maximum length of breathing, one should breath with your diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscular membranous partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities and functioning in respiration. To use your diaphragm effectively, one should expand it as much as you can. Stand up and pretend you have a tube around your waist. Try to expand the tube outwards in all different directions every time you inhale. Then hold the diaphragm still until you need to inhale again. The diaphragm should only move when you�re inhaling again. Its like flexing your abdominal muscles every time you inhale except you got it expanded. The diaphragm is all around your waist, so when breathing using every bit of your diaphragm will increase your stay without air. In other words it will make you breath more effectively. Say you can�t expand your diaphragm at the back part of your diaphragm? Stand up and try to touch your toes. With both hands touch the back part of the diaphragm. Now inhale with your nose and try to get those muscles expanding outwards. Once you get that part expanding, keep on doing it until you can do it standing straight up. When inhaling, one should always be breathing with both the nostrils and the mouth. It should be a quick breath. Its like you just saw a ghost and your scared. Breath like you�re surprised of something. If you do this then you can breath with your diaphragm quickly and effectively. Think you mastered this? Professional singers can expand this little guy like crazy. Its like they are pregnant once they inhale. So keep working on your breathing and it will get better and better and better. Always practice this exercise before you record your verse. Then you won�t sound like your breathing every little phrase. Peace |
