Last night I told my wife, how you are the most lovable vocal teacher I came across on RUclips. Next thing I find this bball video and that was literally the only thing that could even top everything. The two things I love the most in one video presented and transformed into wise teachings. I would really love to do a vocal lesson in person with you one day if possible. 🙏🏻
I think you are a fantastic teacher....I hope people realize how effective your exercises are.I have only done a few buy wow I improved over night... .....Thankyou for sharing your knowledge for free.......
THANKS! i'll definitely try this one, very good tip about breath control. Will give you a feedback about the results, but for now, i will try to watch all of your videos. :)
Another awsome video, these videos are changing my life also, cant wait to get the book, its in the post, I laso posted a link to the book on facebook :-)
Show off LMAO! Those were some great shots - ALL net haha. I'm just watching a bunch of your videos and I'm really liking how you bring in real-life stuff to connect with singing. Very relatable. How you did 9 scales, I'll never know tho
Mark if I stopped singing rock songs for more then 8 years at standard tuning it's like like so difficult for me to sing back at the old pitching now can u tell me how can I train myself back to it tq
If you stopped anything for eight years it would be difficult to get back to where you were. Be patient and reduce the volume - allow falsetto - so you find comfort first. Then add for more power. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/ZGV8CHgX2-M/видео.html
An hour a day until they are completely second nature. We singers skip past the fundamentals early on and it haunts us later when we're seeking out the little details.
Voice Lesson.com - Teachers love to tell students to not train their voices for extended periods of time, however, they fail to mention specifics or the level of intensity. A smart student can work on breathing, low volume control, low volume agility etc. without causing any damage whatsoever.
The fundamental skills of singing are the independent control of timbre, time, volume and pitch. Those are the four aspects of sound. Gain control of those with comfort and your desire becomes singing without thought.
I have some more questions about this exercise.. I can’t seem to coordinate how much a breathe I need. even for the shorter scales I have a lot left over... but then for longer scales I don’t have enough. So I can tell I am just guessing at this point haha do we just do this Repeatedly and it’ll coordinate itself?
That's exactly how we learn to shot a basketball! Obviously you're taking in the same breath no matter what's needed - but you don't do that when speaking. You take in very little air for simple replies and a big breath for long responses. How does your body know? Reflexes. You trust them when speaking - practice until you trust them when singing.
Ha! I ran out about there too. I’m a visual learner, your basketball analogy is SPOT-ON & amusing! I’m going to add this to my practice! As always... Thx Mark ♥️!
The exercise begins at 5:18 with one scale. At this low volume you should be able to practice this many times a day without any strain or discomfort. So start with three times a day for 15 minutes each time.
+Desiree Barfield That's because you're not letting your body adjust to the different notes you're singing. If you lock and load your throat and larynx then you'll only have a small area of pitch that works easily. Just like if you always use the same amount of force with your arm then you'll only be able to shoot a certain type of basketball shoot. Back off the push and try things at a much lower volume.
+Jance Kuwait It takes a lot of practice! So be patient. If you're running out of breath on high notes but not on low notes that means you are pushing way too hard on your high notes. Instead - sing them much softer for a while to get comfortable.
Sometimes I just felt so uncomfortable with my breathing , I felt like I don't have enough air for me to breath normally , and I felt so sticker , what should I do ?
If you feel you are healthy enough - exercising your body more will improve your breathing. If you feel you are already in good physical condition - then practice this vocal exercise more.
One thing I'm discovering is that stuff about athletes practicing and getting lucky, seems to be working for singing too. The boy might just be on to something. Who'da thunk?
Your breath before the 9 scale was almost imperceptable. There wasn't even much time between you finishing speaking and starting the scales.The first 3 times I tried the 9 scale, I ran out of air around 6! I had to really take in a lot of air slowly before I could do the full 9. How did you seem to take in so little? OR was it HOW you released the air?
+Chinasa Faith Did you ask your music director to explain what you should do about it? Because he would be able to see if you're choking off notes or simply not providing enough breath. Do you have more then one child? How long since the birth of your first? My recommendation is that you explore every exercise I've posted on this channel and allow your voice to wobble and sound bad as you do so. Your body has gone through a lot of changes and vocal exercises are a good way to reacquaint yourself with your voice.

Peace and blessings sir! ✌️🙏🏻😁
Thank you for sharing, breath is life! 🌳
Kobe! I wish! But thanks for the post! :)
Mark, I never saw this one before! You're the Harlem Globetrotters of voice teachers!
Thank you for taking the time to post this. This is invaluable information, and I'm a much better singer for hearing it.
neat idea relating the two...it adds a twist to how I view vocals now 'cos you can visualize it.. .. right up my alley. ;) nice work
what i really loved about this is that you 'let the air in' no sucking in air.
Thank you! I find breath control is the most important. Without out it leads to fatigue and vocal damage.I got some great tips. Thanks for sharing!
Another great lesson! Thank you Marc!
singing and basketball, two of my favorite things, all in one!
Breath perception…very cool lesson! Makes sense.
Glad it clicked!
Thank you...great analogy
That was a great video Mark.
Aways breath for the phrase. Good advice. I always teach this. If you have air left, get rid of it. Very smart.
Great exercises! Thank you! Greetings from Romania!
Love your videos .
love the tips pal!
THANKS! i'll definitely try this one, very good tip about breath control. Will give you a feedback about the results, but for now, i will try to watch all of your videos. :)

Breath perception is something that I used to teach my students as well. I may have to remind them of this.
Wow sir mark your not only a good voice lesson teacher.your a goodbasketball player too.your great.
Thanks Mark - again simple but effective! ;)

Ur good at basketball
Awesome analogies. How much fundamentals should one practice in a day?
An hour a day until they are completely second nature. We singers skip past the fundamentals early on and it haunts us later when we're seeking out the little details.
Voice Lesson.com - Teachers love to tell students to not train their voices for extended periods of time, however, they fail to mention specifics or the level of intensity. A smart student can work on breathing, low volume control, low volume agility etc. without causing any damage whatsoever.
Amazing exercise. What would you recommend are the fundamental skills to practice to develop as a singer ?
The fundamental skills of singing are the independent control of timbre, time, volume and pitch. Those are the four aspects of sound. Gain control of those with comfort and your desire becomes singing without thought.
@@voicelessondotcom thank you so much for sharing your insights..God bless you

@@voicelessondotcom thank you Mark!!
I kind of ran out of air at the 6 scale 😅😂
That's why we practice!
How often should I practice?
At least an hour a day.
Voice Lesson.com ok 😊 thank you
Ha! I ran out about there too.
I’m a visual learner, your basketball analogy is SPOT-ON & amusing! I’m going to add this to my practice! As always...
Thx Mark ♥️!
Finally!!
getting that mad tommy wiseau vibe from this guy lmao
I can't seem to understand when the exercise begins (around 5:20? )and also how many times do you suggest ptactising this?
The exercise begins at 5:18 with one scale. At this low volume you should be able to practice this many times a day without any strain or discomfort. So start with three times a day for 15 minutes each time.
alright thank you very much! Keep up the good work.
How do I get a unique, recognisable voice?
Practice more like this: ruclips.net/video/EKOlgdiqarM/видео.html
when i sing low it seems like i cant keep a steady low note. Also, when i see high i cant hold on to a high note like i want.... Need help
+Desiree Barfield That's because you're not letting your body adjust to the different notes you're singing. If you lock and load your throat and larynx then you'll only have a small area of pitch that works easily. Just like if you always use the same amount of force with your arm then you'll only be able to shoot a certain type of basketball shoot. Back off the push and try things at a much lower volume.
I try lower all the time but it still seems like i cant be steady. Also, i do a lot of pushing and it seems that i cant keep steady high notes either.
Be patient Desiree - I don't recommend pushing to make your voice stable.
i want to sing better.. i want to be good singer so bad.. but i notice my voice cant reach hi notes because im runnin out of breath
+Jance Kuwait It takes a lot of practice! So be patient. If you're running out of breath on high notes but not on low notes that means you are pushing way too hard on your high notes. Instead - sing them much softer for a while to get comfortable.

+Voice Lesson.com thank u！
see +Ms Casalta
I would take a breath before saying 'sure' though yikes haha
Because of the practice where you breath thru nose, my nostrils hurt...
4:20
One thing I'm discovering is that stuff about athletes practicing and getting lucky, seems to be working for singing too. The boy might just be on to something. Who'da thunk?
i feel like he and Ten kenplin are friends lol
Nope - don't know him!

I had to really take in a lot of air slowly before I could do the full 9. How did you seem to take in so little? OR was it HOW you released the air?
+Wanda Nowicki You got it - it's all about using very little air to sing. My lungs are the same size as every one else's.
IM DONE
i almost choke while eatin
Finally!!
my music director said my voice does not sit.

you might need to strengthen your support muscles
