How do singers sing manage to sing for so long without running out of breath.?

Breathing exercises and using your diaphragm. 3 good breathing exercises are: - Put your mouth in a small 'O' shape (like you are breathing through a straw.) Bend over and take in 5 breaths without letting ANY air out. Your stomach should be getting bigger while you do this. Slowly let all the air out making a shhhhhhhhh noise while coming back up. Try to get ALL the air in your lungs out. This should make your abs contract, which means you are using your diaphragm. - Open your mouth wide, but not so wide you can feel your jaw stretch. Then, pant very quickly like a dog (but don't stick your tongue out.) Your stomach should go in and out with your breath. - When you are warming up your voice do this exercise called "Owl Hoots" Put your mouth in the shape you would put it in if you were about to hoot like an owl ("hoooo hooo") Then just do a regular vocal warm up in stocatto. Your stomach will move up and down. To use your diaphragm when you sing, just contract your abs when you need to hold a note for a long time, or if you have to sing a hard to reach high note.

No. it's because your not breathing properly. Singers get all their air from their diaphragm. That's one thing you need to practice on in order to be a good singer and to sing the whole song perfectly, is to make sure that you are breathing through your diaphragm, and not your throat. You can also try breathing techniques..to expand your vocal range alot more, and not strain it. And make sure if you are hitting high notes, never hold your breath. Just let the air flow... gdluck and keep on singing..=)

well what they do is do alot of breathing exercises. you know when you breath you only use a third of your lung. and thats because you take short breaths. so they inhale for a longer period of time so they can last for a longer period of time. so then after weeks of doing that their lungs get stronger and allow breathing to be easier

Many years of practice. One of the things professional singers do is breathing exercises. Most professional singers spend at least two hours a day rehearsing and practicing their singing before they perform later that day. The more you sing the stronger your lung capacity is, and therefore you can sing longer than your average person.

Breath control. they use small amounts of air when they are singing. So they can go longer without using a lot of air.

Just take up a deep breath. In the morning try to practice enhale and exhale so that breath can generates properly inside your lungs. use your diaphragm when your singing.

many years of practice and proper training
