How To Sing From Your Diaphragm - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
I cannot stress enough how important this concept is and how misunderstood it is.
Before even attempting to sing, I want you to try an experiment.
The first experiment is to lay flat on your back and experience breathing from your stomach.
As you focus on the breath from your stomach, I want you to notice how your rib cage and your lungs are fairly stable and do not move much, but the breath comes predominantly from the abdominal cavity.
Do this for a while and experience the sensation and then I want you to take a big huge breath from the belly making it protrude as much as is comfortable, and then do a quick shout pulling in the stomach. Literally like you are "calling out" to someone or yelling at someone to try to save them from crossing a railroad track while the train is coming that they cannot see.
And no, I'm not asking you to shout when you sing, I just want you to experience what it truly feels like to breathe from your abdomen and your diaphragm.
Many people do not realize that we have two diaphragms. One sits directly under the lung/rib cage and the other is down at the pelvic floor in the groin/buttocks area. They both need to be engaged.
Once you are in this lay-down position, I want you to try to do a sit-up while holding a singing note and feel the amount of strength in the abdomen required to do this while doing the sit-up. You are now experiencing true "core" strength from the abdomen.
Now I want you to stand up and try the same experiment but not let your lungs and rib cage do all the work. Focus on this experience you had laying down and replicate that from-the-gut feeling while standing up.
These are the beginnings of true, core, diaphragmatic support that is absolutely essential for correct singing and for a relaxation response to sing with freedom, without locking down the body or pinching and squeezing in the throat when we sing.

For the last few days I’ve been practicing the tips from your “how to increase your vocal range for guys” and “how to sing better guys”-from many years ago-and found my singing to have really improved. You always mentioned a video on diaphragmatic support in every one of those videos and just by chance you uploaded this video today haha

Hey, I’m Georg and about 3 years ago I injured my voice while singing. For about 2 years I haven’t been able to talk without pain and swelling feeling at all so I’ve not talked at all. I’ve consulted with my doctors and they’ve told me to exercise speaking regularly even if there’s pain but I want to spread my story to get second opinions. I used to sing a lot for several years before my injury. Some days even about 3 hours a day. Went to singing school sometimes, learn a bit of the (CVT vocal technique) One evening, I started to sing and my voice was not that great that day and I also drank a milk product before what causes my throat to produce a lot of mucus and thick feeling. I tried to sing one high note, but I couldn't reach it, so I squeezed my neck and vocal chords to get that high note and that’s how I injured my voice. From that day on my vocal injury has gone worse to the point that for 2 years now, I haven’t been speaking at all. Just a couple of words in one year. The reason for it is now when I speak, my vocal chords and thyroid area get “swollen” and painful(nerve pinching pain). I put swollen in brackets, because I’ve been to a laryngoscope and the camera didn’t detect any swelling in my vocal chords when they looked at it. The vocal chords were just weak and atrophied. Going back to 2021 when I firstly injured my voice. The symptoms then were similar, there was the swelling feeling, and nerve pain. (it’s really weird to me that there was no swelling detected on camera, because when I get the swelling feeling, my whole throat feels so swollen. I even got a thyroid ultrasound, but nothing was detected there) So back then, basically I still could use my voice after the injury. So I had to not speak for a couple of weeks and then the swelling feeling went away. And I could practice again and talk. But as time went on. The swelling came back and back. I gave it more and more rest, to make the swelling go away.(one doctor back then even said that don’t stop speaking, but for me it didn’t make sense cause my throat felt so swollen and nerve pinching pain was quite bad). So I gave it more and more rest and as the time went on, about a year from the injury, I could only speak about 20 minutes a day. And it was difficult to avoid the swelling feeling and pain away, so I gave it more and more rest, until it became so bad that last year I couldn’t even laugh and this swelling feeling came back. It has since got minimally better now, but still I can only laugh about 5 times a day or less. My question is, if I start to practice again and ignore the swelling feeling in my throat and the nerve pain, would it injure me even more. That’s what I’m worried about. If someone told me that “100%, you will not injure your voice more when practicing through the pain”, then I would start. The last doctor said exactly that, but I needed to get a second opinion somewhere else, because I’m scared to injure my vocal chords even worse, to the point that I could lose my vocal chords forever. Thank you for reading it the whole way through and I would love to hear your opinion! Thank you in advance! :)

I just finished volume 1 of your vocal academy and am genuinely shocked at the difference this concept made. Bringing chest voice up to that soprano c feels absolutely amazing. I had no idea singing could feel like that, and I’m so grateful to have stumbled across your channel 🧡

Long time singer here. Much respect for you, Ken! I’m m not sure where the term “diaphragmatic breathing” came from & it has confused singers for hundreds of years chasing a pink elephant. There is only one way for air to enter the lungs. The diaphragm pulls the lungs down & exhalation is simply the pressurized lungs returning to the normal atmospheric pressure on exhalation just like a balloon.The core adds support on the exhale but the diaphragm has absolutely nothing to do with exhalation. It’s like expecting someone to train their tricep muscle to curl the arm. It’s a one way muscle like every muscle in our body. 💯 on feeling like you’re pushing a poop for proper support. It’s simply proper core support that allows babies to cry for hours on end without going hoarse. I’m not picking a fight here, I just here this a lot & it’s not how the diaphragm works. 🙂

@kentamplin 17 күн бұрын

Actually, there are two diaphragms; one underneath the rib cage and one on the pelvic floor. If you have a copy of my course and go into the section on diaphragmatic breathing I am very emphatic about how much the core plays a role and is the main engine and driving force for singing powerfully. Too many people for too long think of it as only a diaphragmatic response. The diaphragm, by definition, is the main respiratory response muscle, look it up. However, I disagree with that definition because it's really your entire core that does the work. And not only that, I'm convinced it's probably closer to 80% of singing depending on how heavy and hard you sing.

@richermorin 17 күн бұрын

thasnk you so much, 3/4 full strong belly support with soft relaxing chest breath and rib cage expansion support then completely let go and relax is king, mostly breathe from your nose for moisture in your throat, keep throat open and completely relaxed

Pavarotti and practically every accomplished tenor ever didn't pull in.

@kentamplin 17 күн бұрын

Pavarotti pulled in very slowly. He had a massive upper diaphragm and knew how to use it well. I have studied in Italy with Leone Magiera, and I am quite familiar with the techniques Pavarotti actually used.
