Stomach breathing is not actually breathing into your stomach. It is breathing as a result of activating your diaphragm - which sits just above your stomach and pushes on your stomach when its pulling air. Diaphragm breathing is deeper breathing and it's where you pull more air into your lungs. Once the deeper parts of your lungs are filled, the air fills the upper part of your lungs in your chest...

How do you speak from your diaphragm?

To speak from your diaphragm, take a deep breath where your stomach expands, rather than your chest. This will engage your diaphragm, allowing for better breath control and projection when speaking. Practice breathing exercises and be mindful of your breathing while speaking to strengthen this technique.
