•You must learn to do the diaphragmatic breathing. – One of the foundation in singing is what we call diaphragmatic breathing, this is the correct way of breathing for singers. In diaphragmatic breathing, you should not raise your shoulders, it must be relaxed. To do this, first fill the lower part of your lungs with air, meaning you inhale, and try to think that you are filling a big balloon that is in your waist with a lot of air. When you breathe like this it give you more power in singing, and lets you carry notes that are higher. Breathing through the diaphragm is the proper way of breathing for singers, whether professional, amateur or still aspiring as a singer.
