This surely sounds like a crazy question – how can one stop breathing? The point is now to figure out how one can breathe smoothly and without much of a problem and also ensure that the sound of the breathing does not affect the recording and your music submission. The reason why breathing has become a very important part of music recording is that today’s microphones and other audio equipment are so sensitive that they are able to pick up even the least amount of disturbance that could crop up due to heavy breathing sounds caused by the singer while recording. Though this is easier said than done, it is important to learn how to manage your breathing and then sure that it comes out quite naturally rather than create a problem for you while recording a song.
Check & Alter
If someone is going to tell you that you are breathing too loud you don’t have to feel sorry or ashamed about it. Practically, every singer who has been practising with recording equipment realises that breathing plays a very important role in ensuring the song he records is not impacted by the sounds of laboured breathing. So, how do you get over this problem? It’s not easy unless you understand that everybody’s breathing has a kind of rhythm that one has to get used to. The best thing would be to record a song and breathe quite normally as you do so and then replay it not just to yourself but also to someone who was able to understand the nuances of sound recording. They will be able to tell you what has gone wrong and where you need to stand while singing so that the sound of your breathing does not adversely impact the quality of the song.
Keep Moving
It is understandable that not all of us can move and swing around like rock stars. However, it is necessary to understand that if you are standing in front of a mic you need to move your head at the right time when you are about to breathe. This is the only way you will be able to get through your entire recording without having your breath interfering with the quality of the sound. Though that are quite a few mikes that come with filters today, it is important to know and understand how far away from the mic you need to stand to have the perfect output.
