    Yep, good lesson.
    But my larynx has a mind of its own , i can't keep it in its regular position when i sing.

    • @joshuarobinson7752
      @joshuarobinson7752 5 лет назад +4

      Caveguy22 - this is actually more useful as singers! The voice should be able to go where it needs to. Risen for higher notes (usually depending on the style) and lower for lower notes.
      Lower larynx does not need to have a dopey, pulled down tongue. The larynx should be able to go where it needs to as that what it’s designed to do.
      Although; in certain circumstances, singing teachers such as myself need to find an easier way when it’s doing something completely off and less efficient!
      Best wishes, Josh

      It's because of muscle memory, do exercises or practice more on making it neutral because by time and practice it will gradually adapt new muscle memory.

      @@jeanphilipstangauseth8313 Power to Sing website and youtube channel demonstrates the "hooty gee." So it's "gee" with a hard "g," like "geek." You sing a song or a tone exercise or what have you making the dopey sound with the larynx lowered, or with the larynx in the neutral position. Hold your finger lightly against your larynx on top of it very lightly, and brace your hand against your chest so your finger stays still. Then sing the part with all "gee's."
      It's pretty amazing the difference it makes. When I concentrate and practice, I can hold my larynx completely still in terms of rising or falling, which I think is pretty much the goal. It feels easy. But then, while singing some song or something, it feels utterly impossible. So then I revert to singing the part with the "hooty gee" or the neutral "gee," just to engage those muscles that control the position of the larynx.
      This is all new to me and I'm a pretty terrible singer, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt and such. That being said, the difference between keeping the larynx neutral and singing with the larynx jumping around feels like night and day to me. Keeping the larynx neutral forces more of your vocal folds within the larynx to make the tone, making the note rich and juicy, vs. a rising larynx, which tenses those muscles and reduces the amount of them that are making the folds come into contact, which makes the voice sound thin and harsh and also disconnects it when trying to cross the bridge between high and low tones.
      Cheers

I sing in both Spanish and English and some people have told me I should have recorded songs (Spanish) but I never had the confidence which I now have, thanks to the lessons I've learned from you, professionals. I sing in solos in church.

I'm just an OK singer (lyrical tenor) and I get my AHH's right most of the time! Thanks for posting such rich stuff! Although mostly a more classical church singer I wish to sing karaoke on occasion and will have to balance what I've learned in voice with less trained methods but still maintaining support and open-ness, etc. Ha, didn't mean to make this so long!!

    Neutral with a very slight indentation for me. You do need a little space at the back, mostly achieved by raising your soft palate up. You can't have the larynx too low, because it sounds weird when you sing and if you want to sing higher notes or more powerful ones, you have nowhere to push your larynx cause it's already far down. So, yes, keep it as close to neutral as you can with some space at the back( a slightly downward tongue).

    But what if you actually want to raise or lower the larynx to get a light and a dark sound? Does this always have to be unhealthy? As a comparison, if you want to do the sound of Nickelback you probably lower the larynx, but if you want to do the sound of Bruno Mars you raise the larynx. Or would this be the wrong technique to change the sound of your voice?

  • @PeterMaleitzke
    @PeterMaleitzke 3 года назад

    The reason it is difficult to speak or sing while you're yawning is because you're inhaling, generally. Often we complete a yawn by a sort of sign or exhaling. That's the type of speech that you're hearing demonstrated here. The natural singing position is LIKE that of a yawn. The difference being that you try to maintain that space while you actually sing, or exhale.

      I had the same question few months ago, and my vocal teacher told me that you only have to think about it and tell your body to do certain things. So it is all in your head. It worked for me and i was amazed when i could hit low notes without having to pull it down or vice versa. Always try to experiment with your voice but don't hurt your voice.

    *I believe that Broadway Legend Ms. Lea Salonga has one of the most impressive vibrato out there, and Dynamic in using the most appropriate type for the music. I would highly appreciate if you could review her performances exhibiting vibrato, or make a video reaction about it. I know Lea is already multi- awarded singer having an Oscar Winning Song, Tony and Olivier Award for Best Actress in Musical, Disney Legend as Two Times Disney Princess (Jasmine and Mulan) and a Grammy Nomination to name few, but it's always great to hear reviews about her magnificent Body of Works.
