How To Accomplish And Sing Softly/Quietly
Achieving soft singing is not a cake walk. It is a challenge for even professional singers. You need to practice tips and exercises for several times until you get the desired result that you are looking for.
How To Sing Softly?
To achieve soft singing, you need to ensure that you are using your diaphragm as your breathing muscle. While you hold back air, you need to tighten your abdominal wall and buttocks.
