How do i know if im singing from my diaphram and if im not how can i start?
A. If your throat hurts while singing you are not using your diaphragm properly. You can’t “sing” from your diaphragm but you can use it to control the air pressure used when singing. When the pressure is just right, the sensation is very free and slippery within the throat and it seems your voice is coming from somewhere else. If you feel you are doing it wrong, place a hand on your belly button. This area should expand when you inhale (don’t lift the shoulders). As you sing a note, the area around your belly button should go in very gradually — not gri[p like you’re doing a sit up. Practice this smooth in and out motion while singing at a low volume. Once you get it correct, turn the volume up slowly without sacrificing form. Best of luck.
