I hear it over and over again.
Singers say they struggle with their breathing in some way and find it frustrating.
> Some people just run out of air too quickly and can't sustain notes or lines of a song.
> Some singers know they breathe shallowly and often gasp for air.
> Some vocalists just feel their breathing’s out of their control, and they can't trust it to support their singing.
> Others want to properly know , how to ‘breathe with the diaphragm’ that you hear so much about.
