Rib Cage Expansion

TonyBaritone

From what i have heard from Ken,he says in order to get rib cage expanded,you must breathe in to half and 3 quarters full in the lungs.Well if i do so,my chest gets up.After i do this,i must then breathe in my belly or i have to do it already while i try to expand my rib cage?And do them toghethere everytime after i sing a phrase in a song?

Hi Tony, @TonyBaritone

I can answer to both of your questions with a clear "YES!".Try to expand your ribcage and engage your support every time you want to sing a phrase. The ribcage expansion gives you a little extra amount of air when singing very challenging phrases.

I don’t know if this is helpful to you or not but try laying down on your back and breathing. Take deep breaths and try to notice how it feels. That’s a very similar sensation/situation. That will help you see how to do it without your chest rising

If I’m understanding, it is what it feels like when you breat on the diaphragm so as your breathing in it should be very similar to how it feels lying down breathing. And it’s everytime you sing a phrase. Eventually you’ll know how much air you need to sing a phrase but for now that kind of breath is what you need to think about. I’m sure there’s others that my be able to help more than I can
