How do I learn to belly breathe?
I have no problems swell respirating when we am upon my behind in bed, or when we am rather hunched over. However, we can’t swell inhale when we mount up straight. When we mount up true as well as try to swell breathe, we money coming in reduction air than we can when we chest breathe. Is this something which will "fix" itself with make make use of of (standing up)?
Do many athletes as well as breeze instrument players make make use of of swell breathing?
If swell respirating is so great, afterwards because do not many people know how to do it? Actually, because do not a people who do know how to swell breathe, make make use of of swell respirating all a time, as well as only dont think about chest breathing?
Most people breathe through their chests out of habit, and social pressures (especially on women), however the correct way to breathe is from the diaphragm (or as you say "belly breathing") especially for performing arts.
The best way for this to become a natural way to breathe is with practice and a good vocal training. When I studied acting we did voice classes everyday and I still keep it up now, so maybe you could investigate that route. Also read "The right to speak" by Patsy Rodenburg as she gives many helpful exercises in order to achieve this.
It is an important skill to have in performance as it is only by breathing correctly that you can find your true voice and let your emotions out freely. It also allows you to take in much more air, and with practice you will expand your capacity.
Don’t think of it so much as breathing into your "belly". Your entire rib cage should expand outwards from the front back and sides.
Anyway, you should definitely read the book I recommend as it will give you all the advice you need.
