RIGHT BREATHING FOR SINGING

1. Keep your shoulders down
 2. Breathe in quickly through the nose and mouth
3. Relax the stomach out as you Breath in, using the Diaphragm expand
your lungs outward.
4. Keep the Stomach out while you sing
-air will naturally escape as you sing, but to properly support the voice
you need to slow down the rate at which air is leaving so keep your
stomach out while singing.
5. When you run out of air, relax the stomach out again and air will
automatically enter your lungs.
-Try not to think about the air entering through your mouth, focus on
relaxing the stomach and Breathing in will happen quickly and quietly.

NOT TO DO IN BREATHING
1. Kapag humihingi tumataas ang balikat
2. Kapag humihinga maingay –parang hinihingal
 The inhalation should be quiet
 Katulad ng nakakakita ka ng maganda,iyong namamangha ka
 The inhalation prepares your voice in singing and it refreshes you.
3. Don’t be overfeeling or Overbreathing.

TIPS IN SINGING
1. Be in the Moment
 When we performing Praise and Worship the first thing you should
know, you need to step aside, you need to be there, you need to be
in the moment, Live in the moment.
 Wag kang maconscious Kung magkakamali kaba or Tama ba iyong
ginagawa but you need to focus and live in the moment dahil kapag
iniisip moa ng mga bagay na iyon hindi mo maibibigay ang buong
effort,confidence at talent mo dahil worried ka sa ginagawa mo.
2. Open your Mouth
 Your mouth is the exit point for your sound. Keeping a nice open
mouth will let the sound ring out clearly and makes an instant
difference to your tone.
3. Articulation
 Make sure you sing all your lyrics clearly so the audience can hear
what you are saying and get involved in the song.
4. Sing in Tune
 The note you are singing is just one out of chord .It doesn’t matter
how well you sing that note, if it is wrong it will clash with the
other notes in the chord and it will sound bad. Singing in tune is
crucial.
