Hello everyone! This is a brief study of the concept of compression and how it applies to singing.
When I first heard the word "compression" in relation to singing, I immediately felt this was something that was missing in my vocal technique. Years of searching for a knowledgable voice teacher led me to the concepts of the Swedish-Italian school of singing where I began to master the concepts of breath support which include compression.
I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful in terms of understanding how compression works!

Hello dear Jeff, love and greetings from Australia! This video is exceptional on so many different levels, so beautifully crafted and edited which make the brilliant content so accessible. I love love love it - thank you for your generosity in sharing so joyously your knowledge and experience. And yes, gratitude is my attitude too, and as you say, in these very challenging times it is still so important to celebrate what we are grateful for. So thank you and gratitude for your shining spirit which fills up and spills over to each of us as we watch you teaching in this video. Your gifts to us are immense. Plus, I love practising these compression exercises for my voice and find them a joy to sing, with very positive results. I'm clapping for you 🎶❤️🎶
Georgia Carr Hi Georgia! Thanks you, thank you for that amazing comment! I and thrilled that a great singer such as you finds the exercises and concepts in this video helpful. I am sure you are killing it over in the land down under with your beautiful voice and songs! God bless you and a huge hug 🤗 Jeff
Wow, super big aha moment for me! Something wasn’t right with my compression, now I get it. A simple, put your hands on your chest, made me realize this is how I know my diaphragm is working. This makes it easy to push the air upward and out of the throat.Thanks isn’t enough, but Thanks.
Im happy that you had a breakthrough with your compression and support! Thank you for watching g and hope you’re subscribed as many more tutorials are coming soon! 🎸🕺🎶🎶🎶
I don't know what you put in that scale, but it works- I was able to sing Soundgarden and Guns and Roses songs last night without a crack. The Caruso scale also helped me shed vocal weight. Thank you!
That's great news Don! I'm happy these videos are helping you out! Peace brother. Jeff
Great to see another top notch video, Jeff! Taking on compression is a big deal, but you've approached it in a very controlled, easily applied way while explaining its use in a non-rock/metal context, which is generally where I see compression and hyper-glottal compression discussed.
As I've said on other comments on YT, you're one of only three singing teachers on CZcams who I trust completely and whose material has proven to be consistently genuine, practical, accurate and useful. Thanks again for providing such fantastic material, I hope all's well with you!
IdentMusic THANK YOU for your wonderful, well thought out comment! I really appreciate that. It's always my goal to put out tutorials that help and not confuse singers. I'm so glad you found it helpful. Please feel free to share this video! 🌞🎶🎶🎶
Thanks so
Much Jeff . I so resonate with you for being grateful . Want to say u have a big heart in sharing names and Information on other teachers . Very few can do that . May u always be blessed with abundance in all aspects of ur life
Angela Almeida Thanks so much. I wouldn’t be where I am without my mentors/teachers! I appreciate your comments very much. 🎶🎶🎶
Jeff Alani Stanfill I totally agree with u on that too , our teachers are god sent angels . Respect
OMG Jeff your are my new favorite!!! I have been singing rock music in bands for over 20 years. I wish this was available back in day. I have been diagnosed with dysphonia and I am battling to get my voice back. I worked with some great therapists at the University of Michigan and I am working with a student at the University for voice lessons now. Your stuff is spot on!!! Thanks so much for offering these videos. I definitely am going to check out your dvd too. Even though I am a mature singer now, I want to keep singing as long as I can. Thanks:)
teri walalce Thank you Teri! I work with a lot of mature singers and have seen the concepts bring renewed energy and youthfulness back to "mature" voices. The voice is an amazing instrument and can regain much of what was thought to be lost! Thanks for your comment! Keep singing 🎤

Hey Samantha de Regules! Thank you so very much for your wonderfully kind comment :-) I am so so happy that the videos are helping you. That means a lot to me. More coming down the pipeline so stay tuned. Peace, Jeff
Just clarify, the abdomen engagement happens at the same time you start doing the hiss. However, when singing, that engagement must happen before you start singing, correct?
Athus Fernando Music the abdominal engagement happens simultaneously with the hiss. Try hissing with your hands on belly. You don’t have to put any pressure there but just having your hands there will inform you how much engagement there is. Your belly should come in naturally by itself the moment you start the hiss. I hope this helps you! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already! Peace and joy to you. Jeff
Jeff Alani Stanfill
Right, I understand it happens simultaneously with the hiss.
But when you actually sing a song, it should be engaged before singing right? Not simultaneously with the note.
Does the abdominal go in and out for every staccato vowel or it just remains outward till you take in a fresh set of air
Jeff, make your Singing Programme also available on the Udemy app, (app with courses for purchase by people, it will increase your audience) ☺️
Thanks so much for the suggestion. We will certainly look into that! I appreciate the tip!

Thank you so much. I will definitely will pass your videos to my students. I just opened a voice studio in Barcelona, 3 month ago after 14 years living in London and in NYC. I currently have 30 students and Keeps growing. there is no many good voice teachers in Barcelona. One of my students got 1st price of a competition last week after 3 month studying with me. All others they keep growing and growing too.
I also have my career as a tenor. I am going to sing this May a tour in London and in Venice.
If you ever come to Barcelona, please let me know. I would love to meet you personally. I usually go to NYC twice a year as I have my voice teacher there. Where are you based? Hugs, Josep
Josep VIADER I'm so happy to hear that you are having success as a singer AND a teacher! I also have a very busy singing career as well as a large studio. Sometimes it's difficult to balance the two but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love teaching so much! I have a studio in NYC and a studio in New Jersey as well as my online studio via Skype.
We have been dreaming of coming to Barcelona! I've heard so many great things about it. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Keep up the great work you are doing over there!
Would you be able to recommend a Vocal coach in the Philadelphia area?
Dizzy Valdez Hello Dizzy. At the moment I am not familiar with any coaches in the Philadelphia are that I could recommend. I'm sure they're must be some very good ones there. If you are unsuccessful, we offer Skype lessons here at the studio! Thanks for watching! Peace and harmony to you. Jeff
