I don't know a single person who doesn't like to sing. Singing makes people happy!
I sing everyday, not because it is my job as a vocal coach but because I love singing, it makes me happy and it makes me feel good!
We all need to warm up the voice before we start singing.

Breathing with the diaphragm :
- Place either of your hands on either side of your rib cage. When you take a deep breath in through your nose imaging that your are sucking in all the air in the room, you should feel the rib cage rise with the in breath. Try not to rise your chest as you do this exercise .
- Exhale through the mouth on a gentle and slow ssss sound. Exhale as long as you are able without pushing!
- Repeat this exercise 10 times.
- Breath in again as before but this time exhale the air on a fast ssss sound.
- Remember not to push! Just exhale. Repeat this exercise 10 times.
