We often get asked how to sing “from the stomach” instead of just the throat - especially when you want your voice to sound stronger, fuller, or more confident.
Singing can feel very different depending on how you use your body.
What “singing from the stomach” really means 🤍
Technically, all sound is created by your vocal folds, which are in your throat. So you’re never actually singing from your stomach.
When people talk about singing “from the stomach,” they’re usually describing supported singing - using your breath, posture, and whole body to help your voice instead of forcing sound out of your throat.
Strong, healthy singing comes from:
Deep breathing (not shallow chest breaths)
Good posture - tall, relaxed, and open
An open mouth and natural resonance
When these work together, your voice sounds stronger and feels easier.
How to feel more support when you sing 🌬️
Take a slow, deep breath and let your belly expand gently
Keep your shoulders relaxed (no lifting!)
Stand or sit tall, with your chest open
Let the sound flow out - don’t push or squeeze it
If your throat feels tight or tired, that’s a sign to pause and reset. Supported singing should feel stable and comfortable, not strained.
Why this matters
Using your whole body helps you:
Sing louder without yelling
Hold notes more steadily
Reduce vocal strain
Build strength over time
Support isn’t about effort - it’s about balance. You've got this! 💪
