What are the methods of vocal breathing exercises?

Being tone-deaf in singing is a fatal flaw. It is also very embarrassing to always listen to music when going to KTV. Therefore, music lovers now pay more attention to vocal breathing training. However, some scholars will fall into misunderstandings due to incorrect methods. Today's article mainly introduces the correct vocal breathing practice methods. I hope it can help you.

Steps to practice breathing:

The exercise should be performed in a comfortable and relaxed state. If you feel dizzy during the exercise, you should stop and ask whether you are doing the exercise correctly.

At the beginning, you can practice lying down, with one hand on your chest and the other hand on your abdomen. Inhale slowly through your nose, feeling your chest and abdomen expand, then exhale slowly through your mouth while controlling your abdomen to slowly shrink.

Same as above, but breathe in faster through the nose and exhale slowly

Practice steps 2 and 3 while sitting or standing.

Same as above, but make a "hiss..." sound when exhaling, and repeat the exercise

Same as above, but count as you exhale, gradually lengthen the practice

Practice every day

There are also some scientific methods for exhalation exercises. The following two methods are common methods:

"Lip tapping" (also called "dudu") exercise: Close your lips and use your breath to impact your lips, making them make a "dudu" sound. Be sure to make your lips vibrate and the lip sound must be loud. What you should experience when practicing "lip tapping" is: use the feeling of slow contraction of lower abdominal muscles to compress the breath to impact the lips; make the breath flow evenly from beginning to end, there can't be too much breath at one moment and too little breath at another, evenness is the most important thing; experience your "lip tapping" practice, how long you can tap in one breath, this is also a key exercise in controlling breath. In addition, "lip tapping exercises" can also be used as a vocal cord massage exercise to help a tired voice recover as soon as possible.

"Humming" exercise: refers to the use of nasal resonance to prepare for producing higher sounds in the future and to serve as a bridge between the high and low notes. Only with "humming" can our voices shine. The "humming" exercise is to hum with your mouth closed. When you close your mouth, you should feel like there is a small sip of water in your mouth, your nasal cavity is erected, and then you take a deep breath and hum. The breathing is also required to be even and dynamic. Nasal resonance is not nasal resonance. It refers to the resonance produced through the sinuses, nasal cavity, and palatine sinuses, while nasal sound sends the sound directly into the nose. Remember that when you hum, the sound comes from the upper back of the nasal cavity, between the eyebrows. You can practice with a single tone every day until the center of the eyebrows vibrates. Once we have done these exercises, we can move on to simple vocal exercises.

Regarding the correct vocal breathing exercise method, as introduced above, persistent exercise will be of some help. Of course, I would like to remind everyone that after practicing, you must not strain your throat, and your exhalation and inhalation should also be regular. This will be more helpful for practicing vocal breathing.
