In my first vocal lesson with Mr Quinn, and he taught us the basic techniques of singing - this includes posture, breathing and supporting. He said that for posture, our heads should just facing outwards but help up high, shoulders relaxed, legs bendy not locked, feet firmly on the ground and about shoulder width apart - this is all to help open up the lungs and provide a more healthier and unstrained sound. He then said for breathing, we need to breathe from the bottom of the lungs using the diaphragm, an we should feel the muscles of the lower back expand and the stomach would expand when you inhale, and then they relax when you exhale. For supporting, he taught to fill up our stomachs full of air, and when we go to sing we have to squeeze our stomach muscles to push the air out from our stomachs using our diaphragm and stomach muscles. I think I did this well, the techniques made the vocals sound a lot stronger and thicker, and gave a lot life to the vocals.
