  • This is the first of four films demonstrating how to warm up your voice, focusing on breathing exercises. Breathing exercises are an essential start to any vocal warm-up; they organise the breathing muscles, extend the capacity of the voice and give a sense of the breath very deep inside the body. Jeannette Nelson is the Head of Voice at the National Theatre.

    I watched this last night and during my practice time today- I put it to trial- I finally got the support and a much better tonal quality that I've been desperately needing.

    Does this help your regular voice? And, will it fix talking through your nose?

    • @Halibut118
      @Halibut118 Před 8 lety +1

      +Sabataj All of these exercises are good for your voice generally, and allows you to use your voice to its full potential. I wouldn't think of 'fixing' a nasal voice so much as 'balancing' it. Look at exercise video #3 for that. Bringing your voice 'forward' prevents relying too much on a nasal quality, should be what you're looking for :)

      @@Halibut118 while your singing do you hold your breath or talk while expanding your chest

    • @Halibut118
      @Halibut118 Před 6 lety

      Hi there, I'm not completely sure what you're asking. While you are controlling your breath when singing, you are still 'breathing out' technically or else no sound will come out. In the same way you naturally will expend as much breath as you need when speaking a sentence in conversation, you develop the same instinct for singing phrases, breathing in-between.
      When speaking, you will be expending breath, too, so your chest will naturally contract unless you physically resist it and only speak 'from the abdominals'.
      Does this answer your questions?

    Thnx

    • @MysterSmythe
      @MysterSmythe Před 9 lety +9

      Oh for heaven sake, Kyle, this most certainly IS NOT Kristin Linklater. First of all, it is so arrogant to presume NT doesn't know who their head of voice is or what she looks like. And secondly, a quick search for Kristin Linklater will ping back a few videos that make it abundantly clear that not only do these two have completely different voices and appearance, but that you failed to do any research before making your very wrong assertion.

    • @RobSharonHomerDrummond
      @RobSharonHomerDrummond Před 7 lety +1

      Definitely not Kristin Linklater. I have been in class with her. She does use many of the same techniques, though. The screen says this is Jeannette Nelson, head of voice and speech at the National Theatre in London. I would probably trust that. They do wonderful work there!
