Precise inhaling and exhaling is a foundational technique for excellent singing. When you sing, you are projecting tones working with the flow of air in your breath. If you maintain additional control over your airflow, you will develop improved control over your vocal tone.
It helps to visualize a kite flying in the air. With a formidable moving air current, the kite travels without problems and continuously in the sky. If there is an irregular supply of air, the kite dips and bobs uncontrollably. Your singing voice is similar to the flying kite. With a strong steady flow of air, your voice will readily flow to our ears. On the other hand, if the airflow in your lungs is not handled well, your voice will quiver and break.
Nonetheless, before trying these exercises, please be sure to make note that sucking in more oxygen than what your body is comfortable with can cause lightheadedness. You should always be careful and hang out close to a support in case you feel lightheaded. Always contact your Doctor before starting a new training program.
