Sing from Diaphragm? Myth Busted - Watch Now! |

Dr Dan discusses the common misconception of singing from the diaphragm and explains that although the diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped muscle that plays a role in breathing, it is not a muscle over which most people have direct conscious control.

Instead, singers should focus on managing diaphragmatic movements through sensations in the abdomen and thorax during breathing. Contrary to popular belief, it is anatomically impossible to sing from the diaphragm, as it is passive during exhalation. Dr Dan emphasises that singers should recognise that they sing with their whole body, not just the diaphragm, and offers guidance on breath management exercises for better singing.
