Professional singers must do breathing exercises regularly.
The art of music and singing is solely dependent on the power of the vocal chords as well as the lungs. You cannot sing very loud or long if you do not have a healthy and powerful lung capacity. In order to be able to sing louder and better, you must do some breathing exercises so that your lungs are more powerful and able to sustain longer and more consistent notes in music.
Instructions
Breathing Exercise One
1. Clear your mind and focus only on breathing and nothing else.
2. Draw a steady and slow breath, counting to three as you inhale.
3. Wait for another count of three and focus on the air in your lungs.
4. Slowly exhale to the count of five and listen to the breath as it flows from your mouth. Focus on the breath being released from your lungs as well. Keep your breath consistent for the entire count of five.
5. Hold the breath out for another count of three and repeat.
Breathing Exercise Two
6. Lie down on a flat surface with nothing altering the elevation of your body.
7. Slowly raise your legs upward to a 90-degree angle.
8. Inhale slowly to a count of three as you keep your legs suspended.
9. As you exhale, slowly lower your legs to the floor at a count of 10.
10. Repeat the exercise at least five times for the best results.
Breathing Exercise Three
11. Get a rubber balloon or a bag of rubber balloons.
12. Take a deep breath in and place the balloon to your lips.
13. Exhale into the balloon with a single breath. This will provide resistance to your lungs. Do not take an additional breath with the balloon, but tie it off after the one exhaling breath. This will give you a clear visual of how strong your lung capacity is and how it improves over time.
