Don’t gasp for air while you are singing.
Your breath should not be audible in between your phrases. Sing to yourself or listen to something you’ve recorded and check, are you gasping for air? Instead, let your air in. Think of your breath intake as a surprise breath (like you’ve walked into a surprise party being thrown for you). There is your good breath, now take that exact breath and make it silent. A silent surprise breath.
I have a whole section of breathing exercises on my first volume of Voice Lessons To GO- v.1- Vocalize and Breath. You can buy it off this site www.voicelessonstogo. You will learn proper breath intake for singing and build your breathing stamina in the process.
Hope the tip helps!
