Answer by  lonelywolf (2117)

Stand straight with your back against a wall. Take a deep breath, one that fills your lungs and you can feel in your stomach. Slowly "hiss" the breath back out.

Laying flat on your back on the floor while practicing singing will force you to use your diaphragm. Pretending to be Santa singing "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho" while placing your hand on your diaphragm. Singing La.. forcing the air out of diaphragm until can no longer do it.

Breathing exercises for singing should be very simple as to not stress the throat and vocal cords. The most affective exercise would be to stand up straight, keep your shoulders relaxed, and take a big yawn and say, "ahhhhh."

Take a full, deep breath until it almost feels like you're going to cough, then take one very short one while holding the full breath. Ten times. Every day.
