jzhang172 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 How is your stomach supposed to feel when you sing? What are the sensations you should be feeling when singing? I met a singer a couple days ago and I asked her how it felt when she sang. She said that for her, she feels everything from the stomach when singing. She said rather then the buzzing she feels in her face, the most noticeable thing she felt was her stomach muscles. I've also heard that your stomach should feel tired after singing.

ronws Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Motion in the abs, as necessary, note in the head, nothing in the throat. In an interview of the major singers of our time, one said that, when going into rehearsals for a tour after some time off from touring, his stomach muscles would be a bit worn out. Until they became conditioned from continuing rehearsals. One would start out singing only 3 to 4 songs in the set list. Increasing each week. After a month half, a full 90 minute set is ready. And that's only because in his off time, he really gets "away from it all." I know you are wondering which singer I am talking about. I could really draw this out. But never mind. Bruce Dickinson.

ronws Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I also should note that the "soreness" doesn't last forever. Just a matter of conditioning, if one has not been singing actively in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Singing my bands new set makes my abdomen sore the next day- lots of long drawn out notes. Doesn't matter how much I practice , the result is the same- the next day, I sometimes let my gear sit in my truck all night cause I'm too sore to lift it all , lol.

Adoney Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I agree with ronws I feel everything from my abs area, and only resonation in my head. A bit in my throat/mouth too depending on what I'm doing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Ellen Vocalist Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 When I have a standard gig, my stomach doesn't hurt all that much, it used to a bit. When I'm training hard I can feel it. Recently I've been doing Aretha Franklin which requires a lot of support and it does ache a bit after. Not to the extreme of not being able to bend over etc, I just notice it, that's all.
