so I hummed for hours. doing the dishes, laundry and other stuff and I noticed that because I was focusing on my body functions I was not overthinking how I usually do. So it not only helped my with my voice, but also with my adhd. this is going in my daily routine. Thank you so much 🤗
I was searching for how to hum as a relaxation technique because I have ADHD and get anxious at times and I ENDED UP WATCHING THE ENTIRE VIDEO!!! It's super helpful even for folks who aren't singers. thanks so much!
A good way to practice relaxing those muscles in the face is through meditation - and I say this from personal experience. I'm a beginner at any kind of voice training, but I found a lot of the tips about relaxing the muscles in the face very easy to do, because meditation also involves doing those things. I actually like to sit in half lotus when I'm humming, because it does wonderful things to the posture and the movement of air through your lungs too. And because I do both of those things - sitting in half lotus and relaxing my muscles - simultaneously each time, it's also kind of created a pavlovian reaction. I sit in half lotus, my muscles start to relax automatically. It's like meditation gives you the tools to entirely, and subconsciously use all of these techniques for humming before ever beginning to hum!
I totally agree. I think of singing as like a singers meditation mindset. All my work and teaching techniques are based on release which is all about letting go through the exhale. This is the secret and foundation to all singing. Unfortunatly so many singers get lost in technique that they miss this. Also very few if any vocal coaches teach it. I am the only coach I know that teachs this way. I know for a fact its why I get such amazing results form my students. its not a quick fix but it does give permanent, amazing results :)
@@VocalCoachDylan Agreeing with you on that one. I picked up the lyre recently, just looking for something to learn, and I really liked the idea of humming along with any songs I play. Your video was first on the list when I made a search and has been incredibly helpful so far! I'm also genderfluid, and this video has helped me to modulate my voice more towards the gender I'm presenting on any given day. Absolutely amazing results, I'll definitely be coming to this channel again
Wow! Yhe was awesome content I never had anyone explain humming this with the relaxed tongue and resonance in the lips and taking higher into head I can feel it working already. Definitely going 2 experience this technique more. Thanks so much!
This is a superb piece of work. As good a video on this area as I have seen. The 'hum' is all to a singer in terms of resonance and enhancement of vibrato in my opinion. You nailed the teaching of such a subtle technique here Dylan. Well done mate. You are an excellent teacher 👊
man if our teachers were funny and clear as you . i would have not fail at my studies . nice video i liked this part so much 8:01 (The oh dear face stratigy )
