When you breathe normally, you automatically make a shallow inhalation and an even exhalation, followed by a pause before it all starts again — you don’t even need to think about it. On the other hand, when you sing, you need to not only inhale quickly and exhale slowly as you sing the phrases of a song, but also maintain proper posture. (See Chapter 3 for more information on posture.) Breathing in this manner gives you the breath control you need to sing efficiently. However, because controlled breathing doesn’t come naturally, you need to train your body to breathe for singing. Keep reading for the breathing basics.

The easiest way to find out how to breathe for singing is simply to feel it. Being able to visualize and feel the proper way to breathe makes the process more natural for you, too.

Inhalation refers to air moving into your body — breathing in. Exhalation is blowing out the air. You exhale when you speak or sing.
