What Is the Importance of Posture in Singing?

Singing posture is important because affects your breathing. Being slumped over or too rigid restricts your diaphragm and inhibits your ability to take large, full breaths. Without proper breathing, singing becomes harder and the voice becomes strained.

    • Your head should be level, with your chin parallel with the floor. Keep your shoulders back and your chest high but not too high as to cause strain.

    Hands and Feet

    • Keep your hands should be relaxed and still. Your feet should be set apart, with one slightly in front of the other so that a bit of body weight is put forward.
