I have a question about breathing for singing.. I`ve been with my coach for a good while now, but I just wanna make sure I`m doing the right thing. When I breath, my stomach pushes out. This is correct, yes? My main question is this: I know how to breath when I have the time to, but how exactly do I do it when there is just a short rest before more singing comes in???

I love singing! My teacher always tells me to watch my diaphragm.(or however you spell it) And, yes the good thing is that your stomach does push out when you breathe.
For the main Q- If you are in a choir of some sort, you can just mouth the words, and take breaths on them. If you are doing a solo, try to slip the breath in. If you can't, then talk to your coach about making some notes shorter. Good luck either way!

Pre planning. If you sing a song the first time and realize you are not going to have enough breath to finish the line, plan ahead and the next time you sing it, sneak a few little breaths in before that long part. I know exactly what you are asking and sometimes, belting it out will use all of your breath. If you can hold steady and sing a bit softer, so as not to use up all of your air reserves, that helps. Also, if you can, go swimming or do exercises with your lungs to expand them and do not smoke cigarettes. Whatever you do, don't smoke, okay?

People try to learn how to sing but to be good it has to come natural. Firsts of all learn your words and the feeling of the song. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Play on that. But about the breathing pace yourself and relax. There's really nothing to do but if you know your words and the emotion and feelings then you could do it. Trust yourself.

like the previous person said try "sneaking" in breaths. if your holding a long note you can "trick" the audiences ear by taking a lil breath while holding the note (towards the end) of course while the music is playing......because your mouth is open and been holding the note for so long the audience will think you have incredible breath support.....i've done it b4 and no1 knew the difference......my choir teacher taught me that a few years ago.....

various issues can develop your potential to respire whilst making a song. in case you stand with the main appropriate posture, fett shoulder width aside, your back promptly, and your hands comfortable it with make respiratory extra uncomplicated, and taking bigger breaths extra attainable. establishing your mouth extensive to take super breaths, and employing you diaphragm to respire, (taking a breathe that "fills your abdomen" is likewise extra efficient. some powerful respiratory excersises for making a song are to respire in for 8 beats, carry for 8 beats, and exhale for 8 beats. i'm hoping those concepts help!! ;)

Yes, and your diaphram should harden.
Put your hand over your belly button and you should feel a kick, like there's a little baby inside.
Put a candle a few inches from your mouth. Hold your hand over your belly button. With one
Huh!
Blow out the candle and see if you feel that kick!
