The most important muscle to be aware of is your diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle that stretches across the bottom of the rib cage. Contracting the diaphragm (inhaling) pushes down on the stomach and intestines to make room for air, and lowers air pressure in your chest, allowing you to take air into your lungs. To exhale, you can simply relax your diaphragm, which allows the air to leave your chest cavity at a natural rate, or you keep your diaphragm engaged against the stomach and intestines to control the rate of exhalation. The latter is very important for singing. To improve your breath control, you need to be completely in tune with the entrance and exit of air from your body. Find a quiet, distraction-free environment where you can sit for a few minutes every day and just focus on how inhaling and exhaling feels in your body. Many people take very shallow breaths that will not help you breathe, so you need to learn how to breathe in a way that makes best use of your lung capabilities.  Inhale slowly and deeply, feeling the air move downward through your mouth and throat and into your body. Imagine that the air is very heavy. Visualize pushing it all the way down below your belly button before letting yourself exhale. As you go through repetitions, inhale more quickly. Continue to imagine the air being heavy and pushing it down into your stomach. Feel how your abdomen and lower back expand. Place one hand on your chest, and the other on your stomach. When you inhale, make sure the hand on your stomach moves more than the one on your chest — you should be pulling air down deep into your body, not shallowly into your chest. After inhaling deeply and pulling the air down into your body, try controlling how long you can keep the air in your body without growing uncomfortable. Try to increase the length of time.  Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, making sure to draw your breath down into your abdomen like in the previous exercise. Try to hold it for a count of seven, then exhale. Repeat several times. Over time, try to increase the length of time you can hold your breath comfortably. Exhalation exercises are important for holding steady notes; without them, your voice might waver when you sing.  Inhale deeply through your mouth, pushing the air deep into your abdomen. Instead of letting the air rush out at its own natural rate, keep your diaphragm engaged so you can control the rate of exhalation. Take eight seconds to expel all the air from your chest. Once you’ve exhaled, contract your abdominal muscles to push any remaining air from your lungs. One of the most important parts of improving our breathing is making sure we exhale completely.
