Mind blowing. The first teacher I found who really explanes the secrets.
In such a comprehensive way.
Thank you so much
When you hit the spot, you know it, and then singing gets fun!
I just discovered I was using my resonance wrong yesterday. I started using his "D or B" exercise and I felt this intense vibration right behind the eyes and between the eyebrows. As long as you keep your notes sitting in that area, you find that you can go up and down your entire range with intense volume, free vibrato and what he calls the "invisible throat, jaw and tongue"! Finally I am having fun! haha

Hello. This video changed my life. If only every singer could watch this. Thank you sir, God bless you.
This is the absolute best video I have ever seen on the Human voice. I'm a Voice Actor and this video completely changed my life! Zero exaggeration.
I applied the technique of not letting my breath leak and my performances leveled-up overnight. My Creature/Monster voices sound massive now and my ability to tap into any resonance I need is now as second nature as blinking.
My singing has grown leaps and bounds as well. For the first time in my life I can sing with power and not strain myself at all.
Thank you so much for these amazing videos!
Voice acting was extremely tiring for my voice so I gave it up. I'm glad you found this if it helps
Thank you for sharing Michael! Every opera-student should see your videos. This is the truth explained in a very simple way. Greetings from Norway!
Thank you, I will! I have sung since 1997, and I think that if I had seen your videos then, I would have found my voice much earlier... Now, after nearly 20 years, I sing quite well, so I can very esily recognise the topics you speak about. Espesially "slender singing" and explenation of the appogio, and of course this video about singing in the true mask. It is just like I want to do, and what I should have done from the very begining, but I didnt. I established no Appoggio, and I was pressing air through, like you demonstranter with a thin paper. I did not "hold the breath" (this "before coffing"-feeling. It works! All the best! Øystein
like you said, too many people want to teach without sufficient knowledge and experience.. ive been learning on my own for a year or two now and im so happy i came across your channel. thank you for these excelent videos
Sir, you are a true Master. Thank you and looking forward for more valuable knoledge to come.
Sir what Caruso say about breathing "do contrary emotion" is that right sir?
I wish I had found your videos 20 years ago. I got the breathing going by bouncing off various RUclips teachers n religiously doing the exercises until one day it came together n then it dropped back then I found it again! So I still have to find the coordination some days......now the mask....Michael really now is my guru as I find how to move forward n at 54 finally crack the code n put it all together! a big thanks to !!
You should also visit IMSLP and get the singing texts of both Lampertis (Francesco and Giovanni Battista), Luigi LaBlache, and Manuel Garcia II. Garcia’s text has been very instructional for me but if I hadn’t studied Lamperti and LaBlache first some of Garcia’s book wouldn’t have been as clear to me.
such an amazing and direct teacher, the enthusiasm makes this so enjoyable to learn
Can I just say that demonstration of air leakage in falsetto with the tissue was just so perfect and simplistic yet effective at portraying what I hardly believed in/understood before? This is easy to follow and he runs through everything that does and doesn't work and the reasons why they do and don't.
Sir u are my block opener I am absolutely enjoying now cuz you talk about mask perfectly for me I understand now what I am doing
These videos have really help me see something a bit clearer and helped me unlock some things I’ve been struggling with. I really appreciate your knowledge and time
Michael, you are an amazing singer / teacher. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and that of those who influenced you in your early years. I really like how you can give an example of the wrong way and follow it up with the right way. That is priceless. We will all be singing better and bringing beautiful music to this planet because of your generous teaching. Thank you! Steven
THE WHINING TIP IS AMAAZING!! My voice just all of a sudden works
You are a blessing! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel. I intend to watch every single video you've done. Thank you for passing on such valuable knowledge. More people need to see this.
Greetings from India!
This video is so helpful, especially the examples you do. I'm not even a classical singer but your youtube-channel is a goldmine and it has helped my singing.
Cheers!,
Sierk
Hi Michael, I found this very helpful. When I started learning to sing I knew the hung was going to be a great aid even though I never heard anyone else mention it until now. thanks!
You are amazing! Thank you for share these precious teachings with us!
Absolutely love this, it's so applicable to other styles too, to keep the resonances out of the throat and get a really strong sound!!!!!!
You are an excellent teacher. Every video is full of wisdom. Thanks, Michael!
I've got goosebumps.. You are so freaking incredible.. Glad to find about this channel..
Best opera teacher ever! GRAZIE from an italian tenor student!
Just discovering your great teaching on videos with such real, straightforward and generous knowledge. You remind me much of my only teacher and mentor who thought me in about the same way. Not that I mastered his teaching all the time. Richard Dorr in NYC in the 1990’s. Such a generous, kind and no bull….t teaching who knew the solid technique of old singers and teachers. I haven’t had a lesson in more then ten years but this is helping me . Am 58 and still singing. As a singer we forget the healthy ways of singing opera but as a teacher, I have that much fun with my students to show all the ways to sing; Broadway, pop, jazz, open and closed sounds. Anyway I’ve had lessons with all kinds of teachers in NYC for 11 years and there are so many gimmick teachers and those who just destroy voices. I have some savoury anecdotes for sure. Thanks for your wonderful teaching.
This video answered so many of the questions in my head. I have tried to ask different vocal teachers but no one was able to explain so clearly and directly! I wish I had found this video a long time ago. Thank you for sharing!
This is incredible. I improved my voice significantly just by watching this one video. Thank you so much, Mr. Trimble!
Thanks Michael. I was advised to check this out by my voice coach having just found my Opera Tenor and Countertenor voice. This has helped no end. Thank you.
This man is great! Really teacher treasure!
Thanks very much for explaining singing in the mask so well. No one has explained it so clearly as you have.
Wow! Great video! Thank you for posting.
Wow you are Amazing 😍 that what i was finding for. You have Big spectrum of knowledge.
Not many subscribers :O im glad that i found your Precious Channel.
This is incredibly fascinating, and explained so well. Very grateful for this video. Thank you.
Sir, you are a blessing to all bel canto students!
So helpful, followed your guidance and the voice is working so much better. Thank you. 🙏
This stuff is amazing!
Thank you so much Michael❤️
Michele, sei un grande e molto bravo ad insegnare. Inoltre, tutto senza chiedere una lira!!! Grazie dell'aiuto
Thank-you. Your experience is invaluable.
I am so happy I found your channel, thank you Maestro.
Thank you Sir for these very helpful insights in mask placement and also in breathing technics.
Thank you sir very very much for these lessons. You are a treasure trove of wisdom and information.
Thank you very much, Michael, for this great knowledge with us. God bless you.
Wow... Just wow. Thank you, Michael! This is really a wonderful video. I was getting a little frustrated while singing in the mask correctly, and I can truly say your advice had saved me! Now I'm getting a lot of fun singing and experiment with resonance through my own body. It feels good.
For all that confused opera singers like me, listen to this man. He knows. Cheers!
God bless you,Maestro!
these videos are true treasures.
Thank you Michael.
YOU ARE A BLESSING! THIS IS WONDERFULLY MADE
Excellent explanation in differenciating the problems that can occur with a wrong approach to "singing focused, in the mask" Thank you for posting
Holy crap, this mixed with another video has made it so much more clear to me. It use to be so easy for me to sing and I had a great range, but I learned from feel and was self taught. I wasn’t trained so multiple people tried to tell me some “tricks” and I had no idea what to with those cause I didn’t know anything about how singing worked haha. So I got horrible singing habits and got to the point where it felt like a rope was around my throat at all times. With a lot of work and research I feel I am slowly getting back to where I was. I’ve severely lacked confidence and am getting that back because of this video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom. I'm really enjoying listening to your thoughts on singing...a great mix of practical yet historically informed advice.
Rachel Wheatley couldn't have worded it better
Wow what a great video!
My teacher always describes it as a plain above my nose which doesn’t really help me get to the place.
But the ng exercise makes perfect sense!!
Thanks so much.
You’re the best
Experience teaches you everything
That’s what you have.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Incredible!
Brilliantly explained!
I've paid for two online courses and only got so far in years..
This information set off a lightbulb in my head and I now know I was singing through my nose with my mask too low!
I was also reshaping my vowels as taught and I couldn't pronounce any words in my higher range and certainly couldn't sing through consonants!
Found your videos and immediately can sing everything better that I've been trying to sing for years!
Don't change the shape of the throat.
Don't modify vowels and the mask is above the nasal area!
Absolutely mind-blown!!!
Your videos are tremendously helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you Michael for your video on the mask, and as a classical opera/crossover singer this has always been a struggle for me so I will give it a try and see what happens from Lewis (baritone) Sedgley
Thank you for your posts! :D
Totally agree! Voice coach Patsy Rodenburg in her book "The Actor Speaks" says even for the spoken voice, aim slightly above the eye-line! Some go further to imagine a speech bubble outside forehead. I find doing this releases my voice from being trapped in my chest and it suddenly becomes more melodic, audible, and most importantly.. understandable!
Love your work Mr Trimble!
Thank you!!!! Best video on proper mask singing ever.

Grazie Mile!
MILLE
You're a genius. Thank you very much!
outstanding...a big help thank you!
I got sick of youtube teachers so i threw them out and worked much of this out myself trusting my breath and anatomy. Then i found you! You confirmed what i was doing. Back to the classical training. You're very wise in singing.
I'd like to add I just read your book! The more I learn from you the better I get. The point of Appogio or lean seemed so mystical at first but it's REAL and it anchors the voice. For me messa de voce worked best to find that point rather than staccatos as i have heavy chords and i needed to be forced to lighten up. Finally i am beginning to feel freedom.
I how long have you been singing for?
THANK YOU, MR. TRIMBLE
This is the first time I understand this. Thank you, sir.
Good teacher!
Omg I practice with these exercises just for a few minutes I already notice a big difference my volume does not feel so weighed eighed down.im adding this to my daily warmups
Incredibly insightful, thank you!
So so helpful, thank you so much for sharing.
Liked and subscribed... Thank you for this
Amazing clear explanation how to identify the True Mask. Thank you so much.
Fantastic!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this amazing video
Thank you for sharing your profound insights :)
Very helpful Mike.
Wow this is an amazingly helpful video. Thanks so much! I've subscribed.
Hi Michael! Although it's flattering to read, I think you've confused me with someone else. We don't know each other in person. I'm a soprano.
I find it interesting that many famous singers have a career without having a perfect technique. Till now I would have thought that this would be impossible.
Excellent.
this ONE THING has helped my singing more than anything, EVER!! brings ease, forward placement, and resonance. thank you Michael T love your work
This is was very helpful. I start with a NGGG but with my mouth slighty up. I can darken it "sounds comical for me" or i can kinda break through the ng sound and i notice the sound is no longer trapped in my nose. Amazing.
It's amazing to hear the difference instantly. Before when i sing in my nose. Its lifeless. No tone. No...how do i say...it just does not sound all that remarkable. But once i start singing ABOVE it. Not necessarily higher but above the nose. It sounds more like me..
Could you do more on falsetto and singing high without strain video's if at all possible? I heard someone say that the higher you sing the less air you need,i find the complete opposite.thanks
Good teacher. My bel canto teacher had my being so nasal and belty /shouty. I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis. I would naturally place it back in the throat and upward, I didn’t have a dark dopey voice, just a bit soft naturally and I feel like I developed a lot of bad habits with her .
It also would reduce my range for some reason, and make my voice crack when I’d otherwise be fine, I felt less control and it totally took me out of a comfort zone. She taught me to push my way, belt my way and nasal my way into mix and head voice. It kinda boggles my mind her approach in retrospect. Not to mention the ear issues from the brash belts while practicing in my car.
I don’t know what kind of tenor I am though I can easily sing a song called “your love” by the band outfield for example. But my voice is thicker than his voice , it is higher up in my range but it’s pretty comfortable and easygoing for me.
Great video! Thank you
Wonderfully explained
Thank you!💕
Thank you so much! I needed this so bad!! I’m using the true mask now above Middle C (C4) and it works great, but I have problems below Middle C, for example C3, E3, G3, it sounds very good, but I’m not in pitch, I’m like a semitone above most of the time. My question is, do I use the true mask in all my range? Because some people say that below Middle C we should use Chest resonance, and then gradually changing to Mix, and then Head Resonance. Thanks Maestro!
Thank you ❤
Genius!
Where did singers like Fedora Barbieri, Rosanna Carteri, Magda Olivero, Lina Bruna Rasa, Franco Corelli, Luisa Tetrazzini sing? Their speaking and singing diction was always pristine, not muddy or woofy, but very clear. Also their use of chest resonance that was so glorious and exciting? You didn't hear wobbles from them like we here in so many singers today especially when they apply a little pressure if that's what you'd call it or intensity?
The "NG" , over and above, is the single most helpful tip I ever got years ago. I use NG instead of humming, to learn music and warm up. The jaw should be relaxed. I think of it as the "home " position, so I constantly return and check my "placement" unconsciously. I try to feel the ng buzz all the time, throughout the range.
It's been 3 months now , how's the experience? U got ur mask??
@@rohith3261 great! Vibrations everywhere
Very informative indeed. I could be wrong but it seems that besides air to drive the voice that the back of the tongue has to touch of rest around the uvula. Is that right.
Also, while I am beginning to close off my nose and phonate, how do I know for sure that it is in the correct mask and not the throat? Will there be certain sensations?
And also, it seems that those demonstrations are always in a lower register? Can this mask be done in very high notes?
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for the lesson. Is the mask placement same as head voice (not falsetto .. but resonating above the chest)? How I can identify the difference? I'm not sure which sensation to look for.
Muchas gracias!
Thanks so much
Very useful information 🤗
THANK YOU SIR
thanks for this fantastic explanation, Michael. I’be been searching for my mask for a while. Now I’m getting extreme nasal congestion when singing and it goes away a couple of minutes after I quit singing. I’m not a trained singer but am looking to improve my voice and stamina. so I’m sure I’m blocking something off but can’t figure out what. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? thank you
Je vous adore!
but what do i do for low notes? also keep the projection to the mask?
I AM A TENOR, AND I LIKE TO LEARN EVERY DAY, AND I LISTEN ALL TENORS.
I wish I knew how to thank you for this video.
Fascinating
Amazing video! so incredibly kind of you to share all this - what a humble remarkable person - i really want to buy your book but is there a way i can buy it in a digital way?. I would love to have it as an ebook. You should speak to Jamie Vendera he publishes books for other teachers in a digital format. It would make it more easily available for the people who want to buy your book i'm sure!.
+Michael Trimble O! ok awesome - apologies for my lack of research lol. I only looked at the amazon page. I just found your channel the other day and it has been really insightful! - have been watching youtube videos on singing and studying on them - and from all the teachers i've seen you are certainly among the TOP In terms of FREE content full of tons of value - a lot of teachers hide their best advice behind paywalls - so it's very refreshing too see a teacher as smart as you - humble and kind enough to share with us youtube people!. I definitely have to check your book out. I have found no teachers on youtube that approach teaching singing the way you do specifically. In a very researched and smart way and using certain techniques that have been made famous and quoted by many. Never have seen that here - if i have i forgot.
Maybe it's just my lack of attention but i certainly have watched A LOT. So - thanks for all your kindness!. I don't know if you will read this - but it would be awesome if you made a video on your book if you haven't?. Just talking a bit about it - what we will learn etc. If you did make a video already i gotta check it out.
You are absolutely incredible. Those videos are so so so helpful! I wish you all the best!
GREAT JOB
You changed my whole singing game 💕 🍪
