Experts in singing, when giving out tips on how to sing, instruct aspirant vocalists to practice deep breathing in the diaphragm instead of the throat while performing, like beginners do.

The key is to imagine that the sound moves on air that starts from within the diaphragm and moves out of the body. Thus, sing with the sense that the sound proceeds through the throat, not start in it.
