    4:57 I find well done: "the lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue" - I was able to lean that by heart in one gust; and that's because it was laid in rhythm. What I take from here - reflect on consonants and rhythm. No one will easily admit that the rhythm is more important than the lyrics? I follow suit and watch through, eager to know more. Thank you so much so far! P. S. In some other video of yours I found out about the muscles of the mouth exclusively doing the vowels and the consonants, that may be trivial knowledge but should be emphasized here for such kind of beginners as me (surprised to find out that the letter idiom appears as grammatically correct: such kind of beginners as me. Let me know if the AI is wrong - and never mind) who thinks of cords and lungs only. P.S. You didn't say the tongue is first in line, but I think so because of the "meaning" of language. I shall always watch my language :-)

    When I excercise vocally (and I'm not a professional singer) and I go to higher frequencies I start to strain. Is it possibile that I finally eliminate the strain by doing right excercises? I cannot eliminate it right away. It's like the more I think about it the more my brain tells me to use my throat.

      Yes, exercises are what build and train the voice, then you need to to apply them to your songs.
