  • Singing requires an extensive amount of muscular coordination that is reach with a certain amount of training and repetition. One of these coordinations needed in singing operatically is being able to maintain a comfortable low larynx position, which open the throat, achievable through a “Yawn” like position. 🎶
    Try this Exercise AT HOME! DIAGNOSE YOURSELF - Test your Lower Larynx Position…see at what point (if at all) it Rises. That will tell you what point of your range needs to be improved re worked to get you back on track!
    Had to throw a little ‪@gianlucaterranova‬ reference at the end!!! “Va Bene!!!” 👍🔥 😂😂😂

    The main reason of laryngeal tension is improper vocal chord closure. Often times singers substitute laryngeal singing for chord closure. The vocal chords make the sound. And closing them properly is what creates the easiest, clearest, healthy tone. This teacher has the best technique I've ever seen in practice on CZcams

    🤣looove the Gianluca T. Imitation!! Besides that, you nail 100% the real Belcanto technique. I could't agree more to your method. Just like Jack Livigni and Gianluca Terranova the best way to sing healthy and beautiful. You are a great teacher but certainly a wonderful Opera singer! All the best for you!!

    I sing musical theater tenor and my wife would tell me I was squeezing my top notes. The yawn exercise has helped me free my high notes and stop raising my larynx so high.

    Right on! Except it is a little over simplification, it took me 20 years to master this, and that is no exaggeration. If someone can master this right away by listening to this video I would like to hear them. Sometimes too much concentration on opening the throat can have the opposite effect. I think more of the open chest, abdominal support and throwing off the voice like a salesman's call - vóce de ventetúre.

    You're fantastic! The concepts are simple but there is so much confusion in the singing world. "Cord closure" in a wide throat space and support! Bravo! Love your imitation of GT! LOL!

    Thank you so much for this Video!!! I studied musical theatre and am now trying to learn more opera technique. My singing teacher has been telling me to have a low larynx and at one point I felt it was too low and constrained. I could not hit my high notes freely. I asked them, if it is possible, that my larynx was TOO low. They said, and I quote " it can never be too low". But apparently my gut feeling was right.
    I should not be singing in a yawn-like position. Again, thank you very much!

    • @Tenor_Simerilla
      @Tenor_Simerilla  Před 13 dny +1

      Larynx should be low but more importantly free, and flexible. Not compressed. Sing in the yawn position is necessary but it shouldn’t be in a comfortable position. If right now the low larynx feels compressed then it probably is, rise it slightly until it feels more relaxed. Gradually work on this strength and coordination until you can maintain the yawn position with a low larynx but it’s comfortable and free. Sometimes just speaking in the yawn position in a relaxed manner every day can help build that coordination 👍.

    • @Tenor_Simerilla
      @Tenor_Simerilla  Před 19 dny +4

      This is a muscle and coordination training. If you’re forced to switch to falsetto (which btw not a bad thing for a developing voice atm) while trying to keep a low larynx then perhaps the larynx is actually too low. I would say raise your larynx slightly then, nothing wrong with that like so many people say. Raise it little by little until it feels comfortable for you and you can find that connection to the chest again through your range. BUT keep that connection thin, maintain that feeling and sensation of falsetto, you need that through the voice especially the top. It’ll keep it light and gentle as you continue to develop the sound and it’ll grow bigger and bigger with time but will never feel weighty, or forced. It should feel falsetto like…just connected. Then you can work on lowering the larynx more and more with time.

      @@Tenor_Simerilla thank you for your generosity! I use to be a counter tenor I guess I took very very bad habits... Cause counter tenor has the tendancy to sing throaty and artificially enlarged their voice to imitate female mezzos hahaha it is hard to find the so called mixed voice then 😁 if you come to Paris someday I'd love to take lessons with you if possible!

  • @thesocialirritant
    @thesocialirritant Před 20 dny

    Awesome. Is there any way to lower the natural resting position of the larynx, or is the natural resting position of your larynx more or less fixed? I sing more pop/rock-oriented stuff, but I prefer the dark sound of the low larynx to my naturally lyric/boyish tone. It definitely does get fatiguing holding that position throughout a performance/recording lol. Anyways, great content.

    • @Tenor_Simerilla
      @Tenor_Simerilla  Před 20 dny +2

      If you have good control of the movement of your larynx both up and down at will then at best you will be able to position your larynx correctly in order to best create the sound that you want to make. Ideally for an open free sound we want to keep it low, and as you build the habit of maintaining the larynx in a low position but NOT compressed, so it is still comfortable and flexible and doesn’t cause fatigue, then you will obtain the coordination and strength to sing with an open throat for the full extent of your range. However, changing the natural resting point of your larynx. As far as I know…Simply put…no. Unless the person has a speech impediment in which they force their larynx high, like they’re swallowing, every-time they speak and therefore can be treated with practice and relaxation to lower their larynx back to their natural resting point. But other than that we get the voice we are born with. Our natural speaking voice emulates the natural resting point of our larynx, some are lower than others, some are higher than others. That’s what makes each individuals voice special and unique. 👍

    Hello, my name is Cale Guillory, and I have been taking voice lessons for twelve years. I’ve been told that the larynx should remain stable. However, since I have been inspired to combine various genres and styles of music, I had the idea of demonstrating the inspiration by rapidly moving through the cycle of different larynx positions but in a way that keeps the larynx stable while moving the cartilage rapidly. Is this possible?

    Sir my chest range is d2-G4

    Where should i start applying mixing from

    • @Tenor_Simerilla
      @Tenor_Simerilla  Před 19 dny +1

      C4 should be the first point you start preparing the yawn position (head voice). But it’s still mostly chest there so it’s very little, (Chest: 90% Head: 10%)
      but as you ascend from there to the Passaggio E4, F4, still open as a tenor but definitely start adding more head voice and opening the throat with the yawn. (Chest %60 Head: 40%)
      F#4 half covered, and G4 fully covered (chest 50% head 50%)
      The points of cover are of course for a lyric tenor voice I don’t know what fach you may be. And the percentage may not mean anything to you but I am hoping they serve at least as a visual aid in sensation. 👍
