Is this from the first breathing lesson, which takes place as a floor routine? The simple answer about the diaphragm is yes, it stays out as much as possible. Always, we want to keep the "barrel" effect around us. Remember the <a href="http://www.singingmastermind.com/affordable-singing-lessons-quick-tips/9-barrel-belly-breathing/" rel="nofollow">"Barrel Belly Breathing"</a> from #9 in the 10 Free Quick Tips? Think of that as you do the floor routine, paying even closer attention to the position of the diaphragm (staying out as long as possible) and your "backdominal" muscles. Glad to hear you are working on this! Joy Chipo,

I took a look at your website and see that you also teach voice. Bravo! We need good voice teachers in the world. Thinking of that, and seeing that you are selling products from other people, you might be interested in putting my book in your Amazon widget so that you have another product that you can tell people about. It is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Singing-Through-Whimsical-Sayings-ebook/dp/B0069HSVV8/ref=sr_1_30?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1323908702&sr=1-30" rel="nofollow"> "Singing Through Life With Your Mouth Closed (100 Whimsical Sayings)</a> and it is getting good reviews and filled with sayings that help singers to understand the <a href="http://www.singingmastermind.com/inside-voice-outside-voice/" rel="nofollow">singing mindset</a> and the mind/body connection in singing. I find the sayings in it very useful for teaching voice so you may want to get it to use with your students and then encourage them to buy it from your website, once you have it in your carousel. It helps with many many deep-rooted issues that affect the voice, and is something that people keep going back to over and over again, according to the reports I am getting. Here's the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Singing-Through-Whimsical-Sayings-ebook/dp/B0069HSVV8/ref=sr_1_30?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1323908702&sr=1-30" rel="nofollow"> book page on Amazon</a> if you would like to include it in your Amazon carousel widget on your page or purchase it for yourself. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Thanks! Joy Hi Andrew,

I should forward this to my singing students! :-) I would say that the "beginning of a yawn" feeling is one of the most important concepts to develop as a singer, absolutely! Keep up the good work, Andrew Hi,

The most important thing to do before you sing is take deep breaths and slowly slowly slowly let the air out. Do this several times and it will help to calm you. Also, there are a couple of other articles that might help you too. <ul> <li><a href="http://www.singingmastermind.com/inside-voice-outside-voice/" rel="nofollow">Inside Voice Outside Voice</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.singingmastermind.com/slow-leaky-tire/" rel="nofollow">Slow Leaky Tire</a> </ul> Let me know how it goes, Joy Hi Heather,
