Learn to SING from the DIAPHRAGM | Singing MYTH EXPOSED |

Can you actually learn to sing from the Diaphragm? I don’t think there’s a singer alive who hasn’t been told to ‘sing from the diaphragm!’ But what does that mean, and more importantly, is it an instruction you should even take any notice of?

0:20 What is the Diaphragm?
the diaphragm is a rather large muscle, the second largest in your body actually, that literally separates your thoracic cavity, containing your heart and lungs, from your abdominal cavity the lower half of your torso. The diaphragm has a dome shape and is often labelled as having two divisions: left and right.
1:20 Can we learn to sing from the Diaphragm?
When you exhale, the diaphragm is, for the most part, passive. That’s right, at the very moment when you are creating sound, the diaphragm is inactive. When you follow this fact to its logical conclusion, it’s an anatomical impossibility, to ‘sing from the diaphragm.’ It simply can’t be done.
3:42 Breath Management Exercise
Allow me to give you can exercise that is designed to empower you with a heightened sense of kinesthetic awareness. I often refer to this exercise as developing a biological fuel gauge for the singer. Imagine driving a car with no fuel gauge. You’d literally be driving along fully expecting the car to run out of petrol at any moment. This, in turn, is probably going to cause you to pull into the gas station far more frequently…probably more than you need to.

Interesting thing is, before I learned to sing, I actually found out what the diaphragm was from practicing martial arts. That sensation of "getting the wind knocked out of you" when hit really hard in the stomach, is actually the force of the hit impacting your diaphragm, causing the muscle to go into shock for a few seconds. Which is why you suddenly can't breathe. We were being taught how to control our diaphragm in that situation, using breathing exercises, to avoid such a thing. It's a technique that Russian martial artists are especially known for using. So when learning to sing, I immediately knew what to do when instructed.

Dr. Dan does a great job explaining what seems to be the intent of this cryptic phrase. Seems as simple as relaxing your midriff, starting on the inhale. That combined with never forcing anything and a little patience during warmup starts to separate the singers from the sing-alongers :o)

I was taught this as far back I can remember and throughout college... And I went to one of the best music schools in the country for singing. As a teacher, I am glad to say that I wasn't completely off base with the diaphragm when I explain that when you breath you have to relax your abdominal area. I use the analogy of the meal you ate too big and you have to unzip your pants to let your belly fall out lol. In any case, this provides much more application and will make more sense to my students. Thank you Dr. Dan! I was close but now I'm 100% there now :)

I lucked into finding this diaphragmatic work-around to belting out a good 'settle down class!" Thank you Dr. Dan! I betcha didn't think your advice reached into a non=music class. But then again, when we speak, we really are singing just like the birds but quite a bit smarter, eh? Interestingly enough, I find the lower my register (i.e. the more Darth Vadar) the louder and more comfortable I can project.

You're simply the best! *_* No, seriously. I have an audition at wednessday and I watched your and others singing "tutorials" everyday since months. I learned that deep "runway breathing", a lot about the Larynx positions and so much more. After one year, my singing was "out of the world better" but there was something that kept me away from inhale correctly and i didn't knew what :(. Now in this video, you told us to try to "hold" the shoulders down while inhaling and that was the biggest change in my overall voice sound. I want to thank you SO much! I struggled with a lot of shoulder muscle tense. I often push up my shoulders in stress situations... and when there are a lot of them it can get frustrating. But this workout really helps keeping the shoulders down even in stress situations. You deserve SO much more attention! :)

So glad I’ve found an actual video on this. I had a vocal teacher that blew my mind when he told me this because I’d been told so many times before to sing from my diaphragm. When ever I talk about people think I’m crazy! Now I can show them this 😂
