Diaphragmatic Breathing - Advice Needed

Fourtunes

Howdy all, getting started with Ken's course here and and are confused about diaphragmatic breathing.
In Ken's vid he demonstrates with a scale and breathes between each note, breathing in and diaphram goes out, singing and the diaphragm compresses.
Is this compression forced or do you let the diaphragm naturally compress?
Thanks in advance, Cheers!

The release of the air on the instroke of the belly, is slow. You are going to resist releasing of the air, rather than forcing it out, in most instances. There are exceptions, of course.

You should register yourself to get student access to the course. http://forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/discussion/6859/how-to-get-access-to-student-areas-of-the-forums#latest
