BREATH SUPPORT

When you take in a breath, your stomach will protrude outward, when
you sing a phrase, you will push down on this area releasing the air .That's what Ken Tamplin says it should be like an acordeon going in an out.But should i force my stomatch to protrude in or should be natural? I mean,should i make my belly bigger and let it naturally get in while i am singing or should i force it with my muscle to get slowly in?And by the way,do i have to flex my abdomen when i sing a high note?

Your belly should flatten naturaly, don't force it inwards.
The tension in the belly should increase as the pitch ascends.
Dont forget to hold the breath back as you sing higher and have more belly tension, but that's more volume three I think.
Good luck. Maxim

Holding more strength in your abdomen is a better description. Take the sensation of protruding your belly for a diagphramatic breath, then as you ascend try to create more of this sensation by pushing down, you will feel it activating your pelvis and transverse abdominus area.
