Deep dives

Singing is a Full Body Experience

Singing involves various muscles in the body such as the lungs, stomach, throat, and back to push air from the lungs through the voice box. The vibrations produced by the air passing through vocal cords create notes that can be altered by tightening or relaxing certain muscles. Singers can control how their voice vibrates to achieve different sounds, with some focusing on vibrating in their head or chest to change their singing voice. Practice strengthens these muscles, leading to improved confidence in singing.
