    I guess I'll say it here first before commenting about breathing that yesterday, I sang through your exercises for pulled chest-high larynx for the first time right before practicing a song I'm learning and found I had no difficulty at all on a phrase that in the past has always given me trouble; where it suddenly jumps from a low note (chest) to a high note (head), then back to chest voice. My confidence and enjoyment of the song skyrocketed, and it was all so easy. I haven't tried it since but this could be the freedom I've been seeking for my voice my entire singing life, and I'm 66 years old. Thank you for sharing this gem of a technique!
    Regarding breathing, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but I find that it is helpful to feel an engagement for just a split second before gently pulling my belly button inward toward the back. Otherwise, I find too much escape of air right at the start of singing. Do you feel that engagement when you breathe, or do you discourage it because it introduces unwanted tension?

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  6 лет назад

      Yes...definitely I feel an engagement...which I think is the coming together of the vocal cords. This will help you as much as the breathing technique!

      @@PowerToSing When you initially write a song, you have a plan with a melody and potential lyrics to fit that melody or vice versa. There are no rules but there is either lyrics or a melody that will be used when recording the vocals. This might not be a signing question in one sense so I apologize for not being clear, but as songwriter and vocalist, i think the biggest challenge is to getting the right words to fit that melody sometimes or having a great lyric line and finding the right phrasing and melody to go with it. I do find that your videos do talk about technique but also you seem to mix that part in about how words fit in too. I guess its a trial an error thing and I am just asking how it all comes together when recording or if there are tips you can share when recording vocals. Sorry for the long message and thanks for reading.

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  3 года назад +1

      @@planetcool2240 There is no question that lyrics and melody lines have a big impact on each other. If a singer is struggling especially with high notes, they think by lowering the key it will get easier. However, if by lowering the key the melody and chorus and or bridge of the song is at the top of chest voice, they will be hoarse by the end of the gig...if many of their songs are pitched this way. They actually should raise the key so the melody line is frequently in their first vocal bridge (so the voice can easily Mix) and the high notes of the chorus or bridge can occur at the top of their first vocal bridge or even in their 2nd vocal bridge for climax notes. This also supposes that they know how to sing Mix voice. The results is very interesting and exciting songs.

    • @PowerToSing

      Get the basics down on breathing...It shouldn't take long. Then apply the breathing to every exercise and song you sing. Breathing is much simpler than the singing world makes it. But it will take conscious effort at first until it becomes a habit. You should notice improvement immediately when done correctly.

      When you talk, do you keep talking until you have expelled all your air? Or do you just breath when you want to? When singing, just breath where it makes sense...like the end of a phrase or sentence or at a comma in the lyrics. No need to wait until you are out of air to take a breath.

    Mr. Gilmore your channel is probably one of the best, so specific and thoughtful. I also like how "out there" the informations are, it's not like you keep anything for yourself to baiting people on purchasing stuff.
    My question is what's your opinion on ribs expanding as a way to breath and support while singing ? Thanks.

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  8 лет назад +1

      Thank you. I have found that if I focus on good posture, with my shoulders back and my chest up...leading with my rib cage, my ribs are expanded really nicely. Then I am able to fill my lungs with as much air as I need. After that, I don't get too concerned about more ribcage expansion. It seems to take care of itself. To me, focusing too much more on rib expansion introduces more body tension which is not helpful.

  • @4444marla
    @4444marla 5 лет назад

    I like many of your ideas Chuck, bit the diaphragm is higher than the abdominals or tummy. We do not do yogic breathing,where stomach expands,rather above it where the diaphragm expands as the tummy remains toned, and as we exhale we use compressed air as in an exhale on a sssssss where the muscles do not move a lot. I have tried every method in the book, but this is what works for me and my students.That being said, perhaps there are many roads that lead to Rome??

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  Год назад

      The definition of belting, for many singers, IS yelling. However we define it, we know that yelling is not desirable for the singer or listener. In my context, belting is an intense Mix of Chest and Head voice. In fact, very experienced "mixers" can sound like they are in chest, but are actually mixing but have a great deal of energy and "cut" in their mix and they can bring that coordination up into the upper middle like D5-Ab5 for the ladies.

      +Kevin Richards Rock the Stage NYC Hi Kevin, I watched your link and agree with so much of what you said. I have a lot of students who take really shallow, high chest breaths. They end up with very little air and then they squeeze it out by collapsing their chest and pulling their shoulders inward as they push air out. Often I find that if they can get the mechanics right (at first almost in slow motion) it leads them to do exactly what you've described. Eventually not even "taking" a breath, but allowing the vacuum created to just refill the lungs without even thinking about it. Thanks for the great tips.
