You have provided me with an indispensable focus to help me deal with the inevitable associated nerves – wish me luck! > Reply Best of luck to ya, SanFran!

I've been singing for 14 years and the day that I was taught and made to understand how it is more important to focus on your tongue and larynx placement and what your vocal folds are doing than thinking about breathing. Breathing is natural. So often people think to sing higher needs more breath when in fact you need so very little. Just have to think of higher-toned musical instruments like a piccollo compared to lower-toned instrument like a tuba. So yes it pleases me very much to see that someone else out there believes the same thing :) THANK YOU!

However, really learning how to breath efficiently by taking Alexander Technique, or Body Mapping, or even Yoga can and does help. The difference is the commitment to learning. Basing your whole technique on one conductor's comment to "fill a balloon in your belly" is bad. Seriously studying your instrument and its "bellows" is good. > Response I agree. There is more to breathing than what I mentioned, but trying to describe and harp on it often times only ties up a singer with tension. And I agree, Alexander Technique can be a wonderful tool for finding proper alignment and breathing, but it's whole purpose isn't based on the breath at all, but releasing tension throughout the body which usually leads to a more natural breath. This only furthers my main point in the article that there are more important factors to think about when it comes to singing than the breath. However, studying and understanding the breath is VERY IMPORTANT, so as a disclaimer, this less than 750 word article is not a complete guide on breathing ;-) I think your advice may be good to hear for a young singer who thinks that if they simply “tank up”, then all their problems will be solved.
