360 breath

andrew_walker

Hi guys im trying to practice the 360 breath that i found out by watching youtube tuturials, and im quite confused because the sensation is so close to the breath when you take in the breath from the lung and i cant find any support if i do this, its quite building some tension in my throat as i inhale, and also why ken tamplin does not teach this 360 support?

Hi @andrew_walker,

sorry, I can't help you. I never heard about the 360 breath. As a KTVA student I follow his advice only - and it works.

Andrew, 360 breathing in the singing world is called diaphragmatic breathing. Ken talks about diaphragmatic breathing and support in this video:

@doc_ramadani how can i say that im doing singing correctly? how can i say that im singing properly? that im on the right tract? i just need to make sure im practice what is right

Andrew go to Ken's YouTube page this is ABSOLUTELY the best place to start for good information about correct singing and practicing.

mr @HuduVudu i watched a lot of ken's videos but there is still one thing that bothering me, that is " what must i feel personally if i sing right? cause a lot of years ive been singing from my throat and i dont know what kind of feeling or sensation must i feel, please help me

There are many foundational things that must first be mastered before singing correctly. Once those things are mastered and then put together then you can "feel" what correct singing is. I can not say for you how it feels. I am still a student that is learning these things after a year plus of daily practice. Only now am I starting to be able to do correctly and most importantly all at the same time the foundational things that are necessary to proper singing.

My suggestion to you is to put together a practice regimen, use Ken's videos to build it and then get started learning the foundations of singing. It won't be easy, but if you persevere you will be rewarded with what you seek.

Mr @HuduVudu is it much faster to improve if you do the ktva program than watching youtube tuts?

HuduVudu

Yes, KTVA is laid out step by step and lessons and practices are organized for you. You can definitely learn from the YouTube videos, but you are going to put more work into organizing the information and laying out practice plans.

so if i do the course how long will it take me to improve (from a non singer into a good singer?)

Hi @andrew_walker,

it depends on your starting point, physical condition, age, time you spend on practicing. I guess in 2 years one can reach a lot.
