Hi Camile do you have any tips for breath control ?

Yes, I do! Here's an article on lip trills as well, in case the problem is just with the trill: https://www.30daysinger.com/blog/lip-trills-all-about-the-vocal-exercise.

Breath control:

- Maintain good posture with the chest lifted and ribs expanded! (That's more important than anything else, because once your shoulders roll forward and your chest collapses, it's much harder to stay supported). 

- Relax belly muscles for a low, relaxed (medium-sized) breath.

- Engage those muscles (intercostals and lower abdominals) to keep the ribcage expanded - but know that you will lose some of that expansion as you use your air. We want steady air flow, not "locked" muscles. Feel this action by breathing in and suspending (holding) the air for a second or two before exhaling. You can also feel the correct (gentle) muscle engagement by singing on a lip trill or other semi-closed exercise (like VV or ZZ).
