Great Video! the reson people Push the air is becuase they think they need to push to help the air come out. The Air AUTOMATICALLY comes out. your job its is regulate the ammount with your core muscles leaning (and braced as well) outward on the exhale.

Wow !

[@victorSurelife-iu4oy]

She d best she explained it well there difference in my voice now thanks

[@WideCuriosity]

Thank you. I did not realise this. I wonder how long one has to consciously practice for before it becomes instinctive and one can use the practice time to concentrate on something else.

Hi Margaret! First of all, thank you for the big singing wisdom shared! I have a question: I am a little confused when you say that the belly doesn't have to come in during the exhale. I think it's just anatomically impossible to mantain both the ribs and the belly expanded at the same time during the exhalation. At the and of a long exhale, if you find yourself with the ribs still completely expanded you must have the belly fully inwards. I would say that if the ribs stay opened, the belly must go in and upwards to sustain the expansion. Am I right?

Hi Franco, great question! Yes, the diaphragm, which sits right above the stomach, will naturally rise as the air depletes in the lungs. However, this can start to happen at the very end of the exhale by using the intercostals and obliques to keep the ribs expanded, which helps the diaphragm stay lowered longer (and thereby the belly as well). It takes a loooooot of time and practice to get the coordination and muscle strengthening though, so if you're finding that the belly and the ribs aren't cooperating with each other then that's totally normal at first. A great trick is to also apply outward pressure against the front of your abs - right above the belly button (by using a hand or a belt) to also encourage the sensation of outward pressure against the abs during the exhale, rather than an inward collapsing. If it's still tough, sometimes it just helps to find a teacher. These things are hard to learn just off of a video, but not impossible. I hope that helps!

@@thenurturedvoice Thank you so much for the answer and the insights! Yep, I'm now putting a belt around the lower ribs loose enough to fall if i don't keep them fully expanded. Great trick!

I never feel anything happening with my ribcage as I inhale (what I believe to be) correctly. When I take in air using my lower abdomen, making the stomach bigger, it basically feels like the air is going into my stomach and there only. The only time I feel the ribcage expanding is if I inhale incorrectly, with pushing my stomach inwards, a bit like your shoulder raise inhale. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2q2hWpmoc9grq8

Darn this is physically not possible for my ribs to expand sideways and out in that way maybe I need a doctor 😢

[@abdelhraniecharafi710]

is not good lessons Sorry is Bad explication

[@Chrismatoz17]

It seems the lesson didn’t quite hit the high note for you. Would you be kind enough to share the part that didn’t feel right , specifically? I assume it might be the language barrier, judging by the look of your grammar.”
