I feel like I've learned more about singing in the few weeks since I've found your channel than in the 4 years I've been singing and watching other videos
That’s such a great comment and I’m so glad it helps
This actually just helped me solve my vocal fold closure issues.. i think, at least for now, hopefully it is not a momentaty thing, i feel like i can now open my throat and also still get a very connected tone, not just hollow and soft.. will oractice this alot the next weeks and see if i can get into mix aswell! I love these videos, you do a good job of it!
My issue is i use my tongue to narrow the space to get a harder tone. Not closing the folds.. creaking sounds and noticing my tongue and trying to open my vocal tract up while still mamaging to make the fry creaking sound made me realise i can sepparate the two! Amazing😁
This sounds really promising ! Good stuff
I’m doing it. Love this!!! So much fun. I really need to heal my vocal chords.
YES THIS IS HELPING ME. Thank you. 🖤🎤🎵🎸
Nice one
Thanks
Hi Calder. Just found your videos. Thanks for making the effort to pass on what you've learnt to the wider community. Can I ask if you have any understanding on how to break down that habit of the larynx rising up into your dam mouth every time your range starts to rise up above an E4, (when I say 'your', I'm talking about myself). I've tried 'yawning', and 'hooting', but I just can't seem to break down this engrained habit of my larynx automatically being pulled up by the ? muscles as my pitch rises up anywhere above a C4, which becomes worse as volume is applied. Any advice would be great. thanks Calder.
Hi there, yes you can train yourself to sing a kind of dopey sound . Where you massively lower the larynx. The yawn may not quite do it enough , so a silly ‘dopey’ voice is a way to start lowering the larynx.
But this will be way too much, but what it does do is train you to be able to move and co trio the larynx. If you can pull it too low like this, you can therefore aim to lower them a tiny bit or at least control them from rising. Certain vowels will make this harder.
If have to demonstrate this in a video to make more sense.
You could also try singing with your tongue out. Right out 😛
Coz it’s all attached it could be the tongue root and swallowing muscles getting involved and pulling the larynx up out of habit.
It’s very frustrating but have faith you can totally train yourself out of this stuff I know you can, I’ve been there.
It’s horrible in the middle of it. But it can get easier and easier as you get more control and awareness of what you feel going on.
I hope it helps, I may try a video response tonight to some of these questions as I haven’t made a vid this week.
Yes! This exercise helped me the most with reaching higher notes with ease and no neck straining. Along with having a smooth transition from chest to head voice.
Would you say mixed voice is just a segment in your range like in the middle of chest and head?
Or is mixed voice a placement or resonance spot? Like singing into the back of your throat or behind your teeth?
Maybe a combination of those? Idk
Mix voice is both a muscle balance and a resonance thing . So the muscles that pull and stretch the cords towards the back of your throat must be allowed to pull back and do their job, too much bracing with the muscles at the front of the larynx will get in the way and cause strain. Holding on to chest voice too much…
So we have to ease off those front chest voice muscles and gradually allow the muscles the back to pull back but without completely letting go.
If you completely let go you will flip into a falsetto.
At the same time as this muscle balance thing is occurring - say, as you rise up through a scale pattern, the resonance is shifting too, the resonance starts to go back and back and then up to the soft palate and over the hill and into nasal cavity, roof of mouth, behind teeth kind of territory.
Training will help you feel this as it begins to shift and notice how you may be getting in the way of your own voice or where resistance and tension is creeping in, or you let go and it breaks .
So we must lift and help the resonance shift like this, at the same time as the muscles start to blend. Both things occur , so we can work on these different things separately a little in different ways. Eventually you get the whole thing happening at once and can manipulate it how you want
i still keep cracking as i go up my range :(
you probably push out too much air while going up your range. of course, your issue might be something else, but the first thing to look after is breath support.
@@jdjdjddjjdjjjdjjdj I feel like I am breathing through my diaphragm, what else would I need to do to fix this?
@@sugar172a very good starting point is trying to sing while using the least amount of air possible, while maintaining the loudness. a very popular vocal exercise is exhaling through an sssss sound like how a deflating balloon sounds
@@jdjdjddjjdjjjdjjdj thank you very much, I will try this
@@jdjdjddjjdjjjdjjdj what I like to do that might help is almost whisper level door creek exercises. Then as I get comfortable with the flow of chest voice to head voice. I add more volume gradually.
I just find it easier. It might help
Day 1 of actual practice: got the blend sorted still sounds ugly
Ok, not surprising and you’re not alone in that ! It will sound ugly, good ! Ha ha. Often training the voice is anything but pretty. It can and will improve with time, while your voice gets used to finding that balance and almost gains confidence singing on the bridge. It will get better and better if everything is set right.
