Breath SupportBreath support is the mechanical foundation everything else sits on: without a free, diaphragmatic inhale and a controlled exhale, clean pitch and a stable tone aren't really possible. Most of the time the problem isn't your lung capacity — it's tension blocking the diaphragm from doing its job, usually raised shoulders or a locked belly instead. Quick check: lie on your back, put a hand on your stomach, and watch whether it rises on the inhale — if it doesn't, you're breathing mostly with your chest, not your diaphragm.
