How To Sing Properly?

Please answer a few questions on how to sing properly?

• okay... so, you're supposed to sing from your stomach, or something called a diaphram. correct? how do you know if you're singing from your stomach? and how do you do it? if you are singing correctly, when you touch your throat, you should not be able to feel a vibration. correct? is it true that if you are singing correctly, and if you are plugging or blocking your nose, it should sound the same? lastly, is it possible that, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who sings correctly will have a good voice? or is it only a talent thing?

• Answer:

  okay! 1. yes, you are supposed to breath through your diaphragm. its kinda hard to explain HOW to, but here are some ways to show you what it feels like.... 1.take a breath.place hand on stomach. blow out all the air from your lungs that you possibly can. once you get there, tighten your stomach muscles REALLY tight....hold for 5 seconds. ( these seem like days, not seconds but whatever..) and... release Your muscles and breathe in. you should feel your stomach move ( which is your diaphragm!) also, if you lay down, your body automatically makes you breathe diaphragmatic. make sure that your shoulders are NOT moving when you breathe, because that means you are doing it incorrectly. 2.vibration thingy..... um i think that is true...it worked for me 3. if you are singing correctly, i do not think it is possible to plug your nose and still sound the same. you end up sounding like ......your nose is plugged up :) 4. i think that some people are just born to be able to sing, some people could sing if they had training, and some people just can not sing at all. hope this helps!
