I’m a little dumbfounded that no one else I have encountered has ever explained this system of muscle coordinations in concert with the vocal cords like this. That is SO clear. There is so much talk of “coordinations” and “placements” but, like, *what* are we coordinating exactly? Lol. Well, now I have a very specific visual and understanding of what we’re talking about here. Thank you so much.
MY GOD!!! 😭🩷 I could cry! This is so helpful thank you! as a visual learner this is just blowing my mind with how I understand this so much better now!
I've been waiting for part 2 since last week😂 this is great stuff thanks so much, finding my mixed placement was life changing now I gotta start working on these things
Could you do a video like this explaining headvoice and falsetto with the diagram on the screen? I feel like my TA muscles can do all sorts of sounds but my Crico doesn’t stretch very much at all?
The action should be subtle and happen at the base of your tongue. It should be efficient, with minimal movement, and inspiring to the voice, not fatiguing. If your jaw is making big movements, or you start to feel tired, you're probably overdoing it. Keep it simple, quick, and light.
Yeah, its hard to go from a single vowel sound at one level to a dynamic exercise with lots of different vowels. One thing you can try is just doing the song on a single vowel, no words. I like to either do it on an "ng" sound to help find the placement/resonance across the song, or a "goo/ga/geh" type sound to help with chord closure. Then you add the words back in and find the spots where you need to practice the transitions between vowels.

Instant sub. Love this! You’ve demystified these concepts. I’ve been struggling with adding resonance. This is huge!
This is excellent information and perfect description!

Quick question, when doing the goo or gee, how much should your tongue move in the back of your throat? I get much more snap with some movement.

@ thanks.
I can do scales like a champ through all registers. When I sing a song I am still not able to go smoothly through the registers. Its frustrating. .
