I get tired around the abdominal area, especially after songs with long sustained phrases. But not light-headed. It means you're not breathing correctly. Check out diaphragmatic breathing :)
No. If you are feeling this way, you are not breathing correctly when you are singing.
Stand tall. Breathe from your diaphram, not thru the nose.
I've been singing for over 45 yrs. I've never gotten dizzy or lightheaded when singing. Usually I play the piano and sing at the same time. This is harder to breathe correctly, because of the position on the piano bench.
Sometimes, only if i sing a song with lots of high notes. Also when there arent a lot of rests in the song so i have to take short breaths. I usually take a break or sit down for a few minutes.
Actually, sometimes I do! For me, it depends on what I'm singing and why I'm singing it. If I'm just singing quietly to myself, then no; however, if I'm singing very passionately, either alone or for a crowd, I do get a little bit light-headed. I think that it's most likely from the adrenaline rush that happens when I sing that openly and unabashedly.
yes. mostly when the song is intense OR i have focused so hard on something, like the conductor or certain passages. breathing is great, but if you get light headed, make sure you are not locking your knees (sometimes you get a little stiff and dont realize). are your shoes comfy? are you relaxed? are you still thinking too hard about notes you missed? just take a breath and recoup.
Especially a high-endurance song like a Mozart aria or anything with sustained notes that take a lot of air. Just remember to breathe and, if you are breathing correctly, you will build up endurance eventually, and not have to worry about it.
yea sometimes if it's a big ballad or something that you need to take a lot of breaths for. but sometimes if your not breathing properly you could get light headed.
