It seems to me that 1) you agree with belly breathing 2) every word you say afterwards shows that belly breathing is bad. Belly breathing is OK for rest, sleep, keeping calm. It is even OK for the singer in order to relax , just BEFORE singing. But when he (she) inhales in order to sing he must breathe otherwise, the same as anybody does for even a slight effort : the rib cage widens and the belly goes in just a little. Lamperti = the singer stands" like a soldier". See also Alfredo Kraus , Caruso and a lot of great singers. And breathing high is not always synonymous with panicking.

As I always say, what matters is in the details of how things are done, not in the name of what it is called. You basically just recited what I have taught over and over. The key thing I am trying to get across is that it isn't a matter of either low or high, but an appropriate combination of both. In this video I address what I observe most people mean by Belly Breathing and the pitfalls that go along with that way of doing things. Lamperti also said breath a little over a large area instead of a lot in a small area. The problem with both belly breathing and chest breathing is that they distort the body. What I am saying is we want to breath in a way that doesn't distort the body. Because the important part of breathing isn't so much the inhale but the natural reaction of breath compression. If we distort the body when we inhale then we will interfere with the natural reflex to compress and we won't function naturally and freely. Hope that is more clear.

Thank you Micheal for explaining the breathing. May I ask when I uplifting my body and rap-cage, I always feel the tightening at my low belly. Is it should be relax or should be tightened? Why my breath can’t last a longer phrase?

The lower area does feel slimmer and elastic. This because of stretching, not from any muscular tightening. It should still be flexible. It just is not hanging out. The length of the breath has little to do with the breath. We need to inhale a comfortable amount and feel inflated. It is possible to not breath enough. But we don't need to stuff ourselves full of breath. If we are running out of air it is more likely because of an incomplete vocalization than not having enough breath. The breath should not be coming out at a noticeable rate while we vocalize. The voice should be vocalizing pure so there is no wasted breath. Then the voice will last much longer than we are accustomed to without effort.

Thank Michael great information thank very much , I got the lamperti book awesome insight into the mental world of singing , a question , whilst holding the chest up is there a little tension held all around the torso consistently through out a song ? should it feel like the vibration is being initiated from the torso area directly to resonators

Thanks for your comment, Bobby lee. I prefer to think of stretching the abdominal wall longer, which is accomplished by lifting the whole rib cage. (Which the chest is part of) It should feel like our desire to express through our singing makes us be more elevated - uplifted. The whole thing needs to stay flexible so I prefer not to think of it as holding the chest up. There is elasticity, which is a type of tension. But never stiffness. So we are going for a stretching feeling never a holding. This elasticity is a constant. It helps us deflate more gradually so the breath doesn't rush out disrupting the vibration of the vocal cords. I feel like the voice initiates by saying what we are singing. Then the breathing reacts spontaneously to follow through and continue the vocalization. The resonators should already be open so the vibration sound is simultaneously amplified. Just like the tone of the guitar comes to life at the same time as the strings vibrate.
