<\/span>Step Six: Breathe through the Diaphragm<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAlthough listed last, this is the foundation in how to scream sing. Singing well is directly connected to breathing. Controlling the amount of air you inhale and exhale is important to prevent you from getting tired too quickly. If you plan to become a professional scream singer, you need to be able to perform for more than five minutes. You will only achieve this once you are able to breathe through your diaphragm. To ensure you are breathing correctly, you can perform the following at-home test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place one hand on your lower abdomen and another on your chest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a deep breath and observe how your chest and stomach move<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Observe whether your shoulders are moving too<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your shoulders rise and your chest moves, you are not breathing through your diaphragm. The right way is to ensure that you allow your stomach to expand when you take a deep breath. When exhaling, allow the stomach to contract and flatten. If you feel that this is a bit uncomfortable, you can practice it until it becomes normal. After all, we did say that scream singing requires a lot of dedication and practice. This video is a better visual representation of how to engage your diaphragm for the perfect scream singing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
