About Us

Have you ever marvelled at the incredible ability of opera singers to effortlessly hit those soaring high notes with such strength and elegance?

🎤 It's not solely due to their vocal cords, but also the way they breathe. Surprisingly, there are valuable lessons we can all learn from these extraordinary performers!

Breath control is the backbone of opera singing.

Breath control is what enables singers to sustain those long, beautiful phrases and reach the highest notes with ease. Don't worry; you don't have to be a professional opera singer to benefit from these techniques. Anyone can learn to breathe like one!

Opera singers rely on diaphragmatic breathing.

Instead of shallow chest breathing, they draw air deep into their lungs by engaging the diaphragm muscle. A strong diaphragm allows them to support and sustain the sound by controlling the release of air as they sing.

I've seen an opera singer laid flat on his back with a stack of encyclopedias on his solar plexus that he was lifting by breathing.

So, how can you start breathing like an opera singer? (No encyclopaedias required!)

1️⃣ Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing: Find a quiet moment, sit or stand up straight, and take slow, full breaths. Imagine filling your body like a balloon, then exhale slowly. Repeat this for a few minutes daily to improve your breath control.

2️⃣ Stay Present: Mindful breathing keeps you in the present moment. Take a deep breath, focus on the here and now, and let go of distractions.

3️⃣ Incorporate It Daily: Make deep breathing a part of your daily routine, just like opera singers practice their scales. The more you do it, the more natural it becomes.

🌬️ BREATHE - it's something we do without even thinking, but mastering the art of conscious breathing can be life-changing.

Benefits of breathing like an opera singer beyond singing:

1️⃣ Calm Under Pressure: When you breathe deeply and steadily, it signals to your brain that everything is A-okay, reducing stress and anxiety. 🧘‍♂️

2️⃣ Increased Confidence: When you breathe deeply, it can help you feel more confident and make a lasting impression, whether it's during a presentation or a job interview. 💼

3️⃣ Energy Boost: Deep breathing increases oxygen flow, giving you a natural energy boost, helping you stay sharp and focused throughout the day. ☕

Breathing like an opera singer may seem like a rare skill, but it's a technique that anyone can learn and benefit from 🌟
