"Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose." ~ Bo Bennett
Learning how to use the diaphragm correctly is so important in singing and sometimes one of the hardest things to do.
A good visualization that will help you start using it is the "parachute" visualization.
Imagine a parachute as it opens and fill with air. This is your diaphragm as you inhale.
As you exhale - imagine the parachute as it deflates, but make sure to keep your rib cage expanded for support.
Practice this throughout the day - whenever you are in your car, at your computer etc. and you will start to notice that breathing from the diaphragm is much easier!
