Why do you feel out of breath when singing
Singing breathing is a cycle of excitement and relaxation. When inhaling, keep a positive and relaxed state. Positive refers to the feeling of excitement upward and relaxation refers to the feeling of sighing downward. In this positive and relaxed state, we must first have the correct singing posture: lift the chest moderately, loosen the shoulders, relax the neck, look straight at the eyes and smile (a smile from the bottom of the heart). Keep this posture and learn the following inspiratory methods to experience the correct singing inspiratory.
(1) sigh inhalation: as we all know, sigh is a very common phenomenon in daily life. It is relaxed and downward. It is conducive to the relaxation of inspiratory muscles, so as to better inhale the breath. The specific method is to sigh first and then inhale. Your heart mainly wants to sigh, not inhale. When the breath is discharged with the "sigh", that is, the work of the expiratory muscle group is completed, and then the inspiratory muscle group will start working immediately - inspiratory, which is completed automatically. If you think of breathing in your mind, your inspiratory muscles will always be in a working state, unable to relax, and it will be difficult for your breath to be inhaled normally. Note: sigh there and suck there. Don't artificially make mandatory actions. In the process of singing, you should keep the feeling of sighing. This is true for every phrase to form a good breathing cycle.
(2) sniff fancy inhalation: the sniff fancy inhalation method is easy to suck the air deeply, and it is easy to understand and master without the sound of pumping and redundant actions when inhaling. When smelling flowers, people feel particularly happy because of the fragrance of flowers. When distinguishing the fragrance of flowers, they are required to be particularly serious and attentive, which is a feeling of relaxation and excitement. When inhaling, the upper body is completely relaxed, the waist circumference is very comfortable, and then there is a sense of relaxation in the chest. The increase of internal space makes the breath flow in naturally. Such inhalation is both relaxed and moderate. After inhalation, people are very excited and have a sense of spaciousness in the chest. Sing with this feeling of inspiration, with smooth breath and mellow voice. The flower sniffing style can be opened or closed. When closing, the mouth cannot be closed too tightly, which will affect the speed and flexibility of air intake. When simply practicing inhalation, you can use closed mouth inhalation. When singing, it is better to open your mouth and nose naturally and inhale at the same time. Whether you close your mouth or breathe in with your nose at the same time, the key is to experience the feeling of breath flowing into your body.
3) surprise inhalation surprise inhalation is to achieve the purpose of rapid inhalation by using the rapid physiological response made by people when they are surprised. This kind of inhalation is fast and deep. It can make the respiratory muscles complete the cycle of contraction and relaxation in an instant, and exercise the rapid flexibility of respiratory organs. This inhalation is also called "panting". The effect of expressing sadness, anger and excitement is better. To learn and master the above three inspiratory methods, on the one hand, you can do some simple exercises, such as fast inhalation and fast exhalation, fast inhalation and slow exhalation, slow inhalation and fast exhalation, slow inhalation and slow exhalation; (it's not main, it's just an auxiliary exercise). On the other hand, it is to practice in singing, which is the main practice method, because the pure rational inhalation action is not combined with singing, and the deep and loose inhalation required for singing cannot be obtained, that is to say, the good inhalation of singing can only be obtained in singing practice. In addition, there are some inspiratory methods according to the emotional needs of the song. Such as Tonifying Qi: it is to add some Qi to preserve the original breath when the mood is continuous but needs to breathe in, so as to keep the breath full. "Stealing Qi": it is used to breathe between phrases when there are many words and fast tunes. The movement should be agile and the inhalation should be fast but less. The maintenance and application of breath in singing and breathing all friends who sing have had such experience: they often feel short of breath and insufficient breath in singing. The more they sing, the more they hold back, which is very difficult. This is related to not using breath and keeping breath. Although you inhale deeply, as soon as you sing a song, the breath will soon float up or run away. So, how to maintain and use the inhaled breath after the inhaled action is completed?
(1) in singing, you should keep breathing in. After breathing in, there is a momentary pause, which is a natural short pause after breathing in and before using gas. This pause causes the confrontation between breathing in and using gas. When using gas, you should make full use of this confrontation. It can not only maintain the depth of breath, but also make the breath uniform, smooth and lasting when singing. Take a closer look. This confrontation is actually a holding state of inhalation. It's just a feeling to sing in the state of absorbing nail I gas. In fact, no one can breathe in gas in the process of singing, but using this feeling can achieve the purpose of maintaining breath. This state can ensure the balance of sound position and breath, and keep the breath in a certain depth and unobstructed. In the process of singing, the more insufficient the breath is, the more it is necessary to maintain this inspiratory state. Practice of singing while breathing in: first, do silent practice. After breathing in, gently touch the tip of your tongue down the front teeth and make a "silky" sound. The longer you exhale, the better. The exhaled breath is required to be uniform, stable and slow. Let the "silky" sound intensity be the same, and do not be suddenly strong or weak. The slower and longer you exhale, the more you can experience the confrontation between exhalation and inhalation, and the power of conscious control of breath. Traditional vocal music has a method of blowing candles to practice Qi. Place a lighted candle in front. When blowing out the candle, do not blow out the candle. It is required to slowly blow the candle flame in one direction, and the flame should be stable and the swing range should not be large. After practice, if you feel sore in your back waist and abdomen, you have found the right feeling of confrontation or control when you exhale.
