3. Lesson 1 - Breathing: All right. So in this first last, I'm gonna show you guys how to breathe properly. One singing We're start making any sounds of their voice. It is important to know how to breathe properly. What a human told about breathing before. Have you heard that you're supposed to breathe from your diaphragm? Review her that you need to take really, really deep breaths. So I'm saying breathing is one of the most important things you need to do correctly. So I want you to take a breath for me. How did it feel? Did you feel you couldn't catch her breath? Or do you feel like you got a really nice, deep breath? Either way, I'm gonna show you guys how to do the best breathing exercise in the entire world That will even help you with your everyday life. Most people take really shallow breaths when you breathe. It's like caught like right here and your shoulders and chest move. That's not as good for your singing because you can't really get the most maximum out of breath. And you can Have you ever saw babies like lie on their back? When they breathe? You see the bones expanding. That is because they're taking the most deepest breath that they can and getting all of that air to the bottom of their lungs instead of just being a shallow breath like this favorite correctly. There should be no movement in your chest or your shoulders. There should just be a 360 degree circle all around expansion of your shop off your body. So when you really want to have a go instead of are we want to just have a knife. So I'm gonna show you guys how to do the deep belly break. So what we're gonna do is I want you guys to stand in front of him here for me. If you have one, wherever you are, and this is gonna be able to show you guys how you are breathing, it's gonna show you over your shoulders, and it's gonna show you everything that you're doing incorrectly and also correctly. So all these lessons I want you guys to make sure that you're standing a problem here so you can see your progress and how you are work. Just stand in front of a mirror with your hands on your ribs and your film in your last rib in your back. So it's gonna look like this. This is gonna be your support system. One saying and what we're gonna do this. We're gonna do this throughout every single lesson. Until you start breathing properly on your own. I want you to pretend that you have a really small coffee stir between your lips or, if you need help. You could also use a coffee store or a little strong like this to keep your mouth nice. And Parker So this is gonna help you get the maximum capacity without having too much or too little. So we're gonna keep her hands right here, and we're gonna do a nice inhale through our lips and go, and you're gonna see if any of this moves. That's not what we want. But you want to make sure that that's why we have the support system because you're gonna feel your wounds expanding. If you're feeling along is expanding. That means you're doing it correctly. If you're seeing your shoulders go up and down in the mirror, that means doing incorrectly, so just kind of practice with it. But we're gonna do a nice Miller breath again like this. And you have a nice breath. My chest to my shoulders didn't move at all. So I'm gonna show you the incorrect with We don't want that. So that's why we're standing around this miracles. We're going to see exactly what we're doing, right? And wrong we're gonna do what we call the snake sound is gonna help. You have a nice correct breathing and how to balance your breath breathing, Bennett. And we're gonna do the snake to release the air. So let's try to do this on account of eight. So put your hands on your wrist. Take a nice inhale and hiss thief when I try to do this on account of eight. And this is gonna really help you have proper breathing. So every time that you're doing this makes you have that air going in the bottom of your lungs and a nice inhale so you can see rebs expanding. So the last we're gonna do is on account of 10. Are you ready? All right, let's try to get. And now we're gonna hiss. Look, we're blowing a house down for 10.

But I'm just toning it down just a little bit. The next person gonna have is going to show you guys how to balance your voice is even more and go back and forth from upper register to lower register and in between to get that sound, that sounds like see, keep the drug dropped.
