Luciano Pavarotti speaks about Diaphragmatic Support.

He was incredibly charismatic!🌟

I’m Italian and what surprises me most it’s his english. it’s not perfect and pronunciation very bad but is so fluent and sounds so good for an Italian of that generation.

[@claudiocarbone2225]

Totally agree with you

[@flav2689]

True! And I don’t think the pronunciation was too bad either. It was very clear and easy to understand! The accent of course was heavy and some words were very problematic, but in general he did quite well. I can understand it better than many native speakers. (I’m from Finland)

[@Xx-Anwar-xX]

his pronounciation is definitely not very bad . he has an accent which is very normal for a non native speaker , but he is very clear and his english is correct .

[@rose_elca]

Indeed, he is highly educated. I love his sense of humor

[@vademecor]

Indeed. And his sense of humor translates perfectly into english too, which, in my opinion, is a very telling thing about someone who truly understands a language (beyond grammar and pronounciation).

dont take him literally ....he means you need to learn to use the diaphragm and to learn how to breathe ..go find a teacher who can teach you properly ...he is talking to an audience for 5 mins as entertainment ..he can't give a true lesson this way ...its actually one of the hardest things to learn in singing ..its so basic ..but takes months to build you up even to a beginner breathwise

[@manicmamc291]

Breathing is a muscular process. Students nowadays are taught nothing more than a *modified version of yoga breathing*. Appoggio breathing is a gateway to open, supported, and loud singing. Students today are not taught to support their breath, but to let it sink into their belt line and to push their gut out. Not only is it uncomfortable from my experience, but it gives next to no support to sing loud enough for many people to hear without amplification.

[@jirox3232]

how do you do the appogio breathing ?

[@julisalamora]

@@jirox3232 the exact same question here, plz, i need to figure out the proper breathing and supporting technique

[@rioRochoa93]

Look up Michael Trimble. He has tons of videos of how to breathe correctly with the old style of opera singing with true support. He goes into everything about breathing, posture, how to actually breathe (sucking in the gut to the bottoms of the back tail bone), amplification with the true mask) and so much more . 10 out of 10 and my voice has never been better because of him. He’s 83 years old and still sings and shows his demonstrations live.

[@manicmamc291]

@@julisalamora sorry I haven’t read this thread in a long time. One of the core principles of appoggio breathing is learning to train your muscles to open the rib cage and maintain it until the breath runs out. And another tip: don’t listen to people who tell you to “breathe with your diaphragm”. The diaphragm is an involuntary muscle and its movement cannot be controlled, instead it can only be used to support breathing, as Pavarotti says; it is not the only moving and active part in the process. Use your lungs and open the ribcage

[@manicmamc291]

@@julisalamora in my opinion, learn to do exercises that train the muscles that are involved in opening the rib cage, like dumbbell or cable flys. As a singer, you are an athlete. Don’t listen to people telling you that weight training is bad for singing; many bodybuilders in the past were also opera singers.

[@ulrikewermann1268]

[@andrewbloom7694]

Yeah, the really old recordings of him are interesting because his voice is still better than the vast majority of his peers, but it also was clearly not quite fully "pavarotti" yet.

[@noomikifarkis9062]

The diaphragm is actually active when we inhale, and relaxes when we exhale. What he describes is actually a lot of muscle working to keep it from just relaxing completely straight away. Using exercises to train your vocal fold resistance so that less air leaks out is actually way better than just struggling to activate the right abdominal muscles for support. Because when you tense those muscles, it can lead to tension in the voice as well and even vocal damage, because you're using more air to create volume, when you could just add more vocal fold depth to sing louder. You actually need very little air to produce sound. I'm studying to become a vocal coach right now, and this seems to be the latest science around it. I was trained classically before, but this works so much better. Hope someone finds this helpful.

[@Jakke7805]

You do not need the latest science. Only listen to good old singers (they are not alive today) and modern singers today. You hear the difference very clearly, modern singers can not sing. So let's try to learn how the great singers sang. Michael Trimble is the last who teaches that method. He is not a teacher, he is opera singer so he knows what he is talking about.

The diaphagm is an expiratory muscle, actually. And the movement of the abdomen should be inwards rather than outwards because otherwise support will get locked. It's amazing how Pavarotti did all this better than anybody but his explanations are nonsense.

[@mhoeler]

With all due respect, the diaphragm is an inspiratory muscle. Upon contraction, it increases the volume of the thorax, thereby inflating the lungs. Other muscles are responsible for exhalation, including, as you've mentioned, the muscles of the abdomen.

[@pksferdinandd8227]

You are right. I wanted to write "the diaphragm is an inspiratory muscle" but I got confused.

[@davide1976]

@Andrei Biro I have watched Michael Trimble videos and I also watch the fish Ella masterclass you spoke of and in the master class he describes how one should pull in on the abdomen when singing and Mox people who push out with the abdomen while singing.

[@Mikep487]

His explanations are not nonsense but right on. But he didn't do that better than everybody. Lanza, Caruso, di Stefano, Corelli and others were better, but he was up there.

[@mhoeler]

@Andrei Biro I worked with Michael for many years and do not recall him saying, pull in the diaphragm. He instructs to breath into the bottom of your back. This is accomplished by pulling the abdominal muscles in, during inhalation and letting the diaphragm do what it does. The diaphragm descends, while we are inhaling. It passively rises, upon exhalation. Michael uses imagery, as do many teachers. We know the air goes into the lungs, and not the back, but the imagery encourages an action conducive to singing.
