Ok so I was a teen smoker I quit and now I'm joining a band doing vocals. The smoking hurt my lung capcity so I cant hold a lot of notes long enough. Any suggestions for increasing my lung capacity?

I live with copd caused from smoking. You you are overweight lose. Walk as much as you can and exercise. Once after i came out of the hospital they sent me home with two bottles attached and a tube to blow the water from one side to the other. Ask your Dr. if you can purchase one.

This is from a breath control tape that I received.
1.Inhale as deeply as you possibly can, then take 3 more quick breaths.
2.Exhale as much as possible, then blow out three more times.
3.Do this 5 times morning and night and it will open up the bottom of your lungs, where the junk settled.
Then with a voice coach work on those notes.

An exercise from my COPD class, to improve broncial lung capacity
Breath in thru the nose, count as you breath in
Breath out thru pursed lips
Your exhale should be 2x your inhale
FWIW This little trick saved a couple trips to hospital.
LOL

Yoga is the best way - it emphasizes breath control and increasing lung capacity. Does your body good, too!

I have been practicing holding my breath when i am bored. I smoke now and have for the last 6 years...i should really quit....i started at about 1 min. and can now hold my breath for about 2.5 min. not too impressive, but a huge improvement....
