Lexicon: Diaphragmatic Breathing

Diaphragmatic Breathing or Abdominal Breathing is often referred to as the “correct way to breathing” while singing and does have many benefits for certain styles of singing, like western classical. During an inhalation the abdominal muscles are allowed to relax allowing the expansion of the abdomen caused by the lowering of the diaphragm. This method of breathing will cause the larynx to lower.
