Are you standing with good posture?

Posture is extremely important when it comes to breathing.  If you don’t have the correct posture, you have nowhere for the breath to go.  What we tell our students is to stand against a wall.  Make sure your heels, bum, shoulders and the back of your head are touching the wall.  You want to have your head not too high and not too low.  Once you have that posture, step away from the wall and maintain that position while you sing.  You will look more confident and sing more confidently when you posture is correct.
