One of the biggest challenges in singing is sustaining a note for a long period of time without losing any sound quality. Millions struggle with this every year, but surprisingly it only takes a few small adjustments to deal with the problem.
First, Your Breathing
The simple first thing to work on is your breathing. If you cannot take a deep enough breath and maintain it, needless to say you won't be able to sing a lot. However, even before we work on holding your breath, you have to learn how to breathe appropriately.
This commences with focusing on the act of breathing. Not only is this is a powerful training tool, it is very relaxing. Stand straight, with your shoulders back and your neck upright. Breath in through your nose and hold the breath for a second.
Now, when you distribute the breath, hiss the breath out of your body. Do this by positioning the tip of your tongue against the in just your front teeth and letting air out in a whooshing sound - like an inflatable raft being deflated.
The objective of this exercise is to train the entire core of your body to breathe in and out effectively. In the end, you should be capable to tap into a massive reserve of air that will allow you to sustain a note far longer than when you got on track.
Practicing Notes
You should expend between 10-15 minutes every day practicing your breathing exercises, empowering your muscles and building up your stamina. Though, in short order, you'll need to start putting it to use with actual singing.
To achieve this, sing your scales but try holding each note a little longer than is regular. Rather than releasing and breathing between each note, hold them for as long as you would allow the breath hiss. You can even time it with a wrist watch to be certain it is exactly the same.
Fitness, diet, and practice should blend to help you reach those completely extended notes and maintain your stamina for far longer when you go on stage next.
