How do i practice breath control?

Question: How do i practice breath control!?

I know how to breathe with my diaphragm but when I sing, I can't seem to contain the air I took in - i'll exhale as quickly as a deflating balloon, can't seem to control!. HELP!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try some exercises where you sit down and lean over, take a deep breath, and exhale with a hissing noise for 10 counts!. When you sing, you should try to push out on your stomach, and only allow it to sink in on the last few counts of the phrase!.
If it doesn't work, try lifting something moderately heavy, just make sure you don't hurt yourself, and when you feel your stomach push out, just remember that feeling when you're singing!.
It should help!. At least, i know it worked for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
