Article: Posture is extremely important and will make it easier for you to breathe properly while singing. This will take pressure off of your vocal cords. Your feet should be positioned shoulder width apart with your knees slightly bent. Never lock your knees in place. In order to maintain proper singing posture, you should raise your chest slightly and keep your abdomen flat. By engaging your core muscles you can help ensure that you breathe from your diaphragm. This will help to protect your vocal cords. While you are singing your chin should be parallel to the floor. This will help to take pressure off of your vocal cords, making it easier to sing clearly. When you are breathing for singing, your shoulders should be relaxed. This will help to ensure that you take deep abdominal breaths, rather than shallow breaths. Avoid raising your shoulders while you breathe in. Instead, keep your shoulders down and relaxed. While singing, you do not want to strain or put pressure on your vocal cords by tensing the surrounding muscles. This can make it much more difficult to sing and will put additional strain on your voice.

What is a summary?
Bend your knees slightly. Raise your chest. Keep your head up. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Relax your neck, jaw, and face muscles.
