I've got a remedy that I've found to work incredibly well and felt like sharing.
Also.... I searched for this topic and didn't seem to find it, so this may be the first time this is discussed here. :biggrin1:
Firstly, Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm.
In vocal training for the theater, we are instructed to regain voluntary control of the diaphragm through specific breathing rituals. These techniques cure hiccups immediately.
Breathe low. When you breathe a diaphragmatic breath, it should expand the lowest part of your abdomen, not your chest. Chest breathing is for athletes and dancers, not singers and speakers. It's very difficult to instruct through words alone, but there are tutorials online. Here's a fairly good video, despite its few spelling errors:
YouTube - Diaphragmatic breathing
Anyone else have good methods?
