Take a breath, however you’d normally do so.
Now, try to take a breath so that your upper chest is what’s expanding first when you breathe in–that’s a relatively shallow breath.
Now, try to take a breath so that your lower chest/stomach is what’s expanding first. That’s a deeper breath, using your diaphragm.
Both types of breathing use the diaphragm, but the second way moves a lot more air in and out with more force. So when you’re singing or yelling, breathing like this can help you increase your volume.
