It is also important to note that, 'breathing from the diaphragm' and 'breathing from the belly' are not the same. If correctly executed, the breath support technique that is widely referred to as 'diaphragmatic breathing', and should not be confused with 'belly breathing'. Unlike 'belly breathing', 'breathing from the diaphragm' involves no pushing or forceful expulsion of air, and is the natural, correct, safe, gentle, internationally accepted method of supporting the singing tone. In diaphragmatic breathing, the tone rides on a minimal and steady stream of air, which brings stability and consistency to the tone. Understand, though, that the belly/diaphragm itself doesn’t actually breathe, as the lungs are located above them. It merely moves in response to the diaphragm’s downward and upward movements and to the expansion and contraction of the support muscles.
