Breathing

Hello Camille,

I think I talked to you about this one before except I just struggle at this so much. Many times in singing, I feel that you incorporate it right away after you understand it such as vocal cord compression, except to me breathing just didn't come the same way. I feel that it is because when I'm not singing I don't have the same abdominal support as when I'm singing. Now because of that, I feel that I always keep on not using breath support even when I'm singing because I built the bad habit of not doing when I'm not singing. How should I just fix this?

Hi, Aaron! Do you use lip trills, or have you tried straw singing? Both of those are excellent for training good breath support! I'd start your warmup with one or both of those exercises to "set the stage" for the rest of your practice. Eventually, it'll become more automatic!
