As a van driver I can't wait to be out driving (so I don't annoy anyone) so I can practice the techniques you teach! Thank you, Maestro! Thank you for every bit of information you share with us!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear that you find the lessons clear and usable, that’s always the goal. That’s the purpose of this channel: to help you along the way and keep the old school of singing alive. GM
Thank you! I’m really glad to hear it’s helpful. This challenge is common, but with consistent practice, releasing the tension and keeping the tongue in the correct position, forwards, always touching the lower teeth, is key. As I always say, and as I was told by many of my great teachers, this makes a big difference. Keep working on it, and you’ll definitely see progress. GM
question - i hear vowels but what about the consonants? I get the tongue position you showed where the vowels sound really good but when your singing lyrics , with your tongue out, the consonants won't come through. Just wondering about that. Your vids are excellent and love the advice.
Great question! The tongue position I show is crucial for achieving the ideal vowel sound, but I understand your concern about consonants. Consonants are articulated mainly through tongue movement and proper placement of the lips and teeth, but the key is to avoid disrupting the balance of the vocal space that you create for the vowels. You want the tongue to stay flexible and not interfere with the airflow or resonance. It might help to think of consonants as quick “interruptions” that should snap back into position without changing the open throat and support you have for your vowels. It’s about finding the right coordination between vowel space and clear consonant articulation. Keep experimenting with the sensation, and I’m sure it will improve! Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment. GM.
Absolutely not! According to the vocal schools I come from, it's essential to keep a balanced space between the tongue and the soft palate at the very back of the throat. As Franco Corelli used to say, you need to find that space between the tongue and the palate to allow for proper resonance and freedom in the voice.
Haha, sorry about that! My voice does have a habit of making an entrance! 😅 Next time, I'll try to give a 'volume warning!' Appreciate you watching, though-hope your speakers survived!
Thank you so much! However, it is indeed ‘keep your tongue forwards,’ or in Italian, ‘tenga la lingua avanti.’ I know this because I come from that school, and it’s exactly what Ferri Leodino used to tell me. Leodino was a direct student of Melocchi, and this advice was passed down through that lineage.
Maestro do you think i have a chance to be able to sing tenor range Im a baritone 16 years old and in the first 2 weeks of my training with a tenor coach my range is like E4 but strained but now i can reach G4 a bit strained but a lot of chest voice support and i still dont know how to do some mix voice
Здесь важен правильный контроль дыхания и поддержка. Ваша грудная резонансная полость должна оставаться активной на всём протяжении, особенно когда вы переходите на высокие ноты. Возможно, ваш звук “тухнет” из-за недостаточной поддержки или слишком резкого перехода к головному резонансу. Попробуйте сосредоточиться на равномерном расширении груди и открытой глотке даже при повышении высоты звука. 💪🏻🎶👍🏻
Концентрируйтесь не столько на самом звуке, сколько на ощущениях вибраций, которые создаются в костной структуре. Например, попробуйте почувствовать вибрации в грудине, в зубах, а также частично в тканях, ощущая лёгкое жужжание вибраций на губах. Это более важно, чем сам звук.

Finally a YT operatic singer who teaches and is not a pretentious d-bag, I can feel a genuine passion for teaching in you :).
Him and Craig sirrianni, look him up, he trained with Thomas Lomanaco

I can say i’ve been out in the car lot before and people inside the building still said they can hear 😂
It’s so good to have you back! Maybe when Jonas Kaufmann retires, you’ll be the next “big thing” in the industry concerning tenors.
Extremely impressive Monsalve. Not many people in the world can so what you just did (C to high C tongue out low larynx no retraction).🎉
Your house looks so cool in the back
Thank you 🙏🏻
Bravo maestro 👏👏👏👏 You've helped me a lot in just two lessons.
Si È giusto quello che dici,
Il mio maestro è stato uno degli ultimi allievi di Arturo Melocchi.
Mi ha insegnato le stesse cose.
Complimenti
Mi fa piacere che la Vecchia Scuola continui avanti 💪🏻🎶👍🏻
Hell, that was a really clear explanation, thank you!!
Interesting video. Honestly though, if George Clooney ever makes a film where he meets his younger self - you need to take that role!
Love your lessons. They are really clear and usable!

thank you, this is very helpful. during my studies this has always been my challenge .......

Great advice! Thanks!
Thanks buddy, I liked the way you brought this forward. I almost wasted time to practice some random tongue placement exercise for sounds.
I make false darkness on accident with my lower notes. Almost Kaufman-esque it’s taking training to get out of the habit.
Kaufmann lol

What do you think of the ng position ?
Thank you!👌
Very well said
Hi, so should we raise the back of the tongue for high notes?
Absolutely not! According to the vocal schools I come from, it's essential to keep a balanced space between the tongue and the soft palate at the very back of the throat. As Franco Corelli used to say, you need to find that space between the tongue and the palate to allow for proper resonance and freedom in the voice.
DAMN BRO I HAD MY VOLUME UP.
Haha, sorry about that! My voice does have a habit of making an entrance! 😅 Next time, I'll try to give a 'volume warning!' Appreciate you watching, though-hope your speakers survived!
@@giancarlomonsalve
WHAT!? WHAT DID HE SAY?
Haha, next time I’ll make sure to give a volume warning for real! 🎶
sonunda doğru bir teknik !
It’s not «tenga la lingua avanti » it’s « non ingolate » …. Anyway you’re singing really well and îm learning a lot by listening to your exemple!
Thank you so much!

Ok how do I book a lesson I have major tongue tension
1:14 I wished to sound like Ramón Vinay. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of timbre. If I'm only 19, will my timbre get darker?
Thanks Maestro! Does having posterior tongue tie affect the ability to do this?
Yes it can, but also depends on the severity of the tie.
How to break the force and sing C5 . I am not a singer just sining in lonelyness. Greatings from Poland
А, что делать, если звук в середине, прям такой же как у вас, но как только я подхожу к верху звук начинает тухнуть?
Здесь важен правильный контроль дыхания и поддержка. Ваша грудная резонансная полость должна оставаться активной на всём протяжении, особенно когда вы переходите на высокие ноты. Возможно, ваш звук “тухнет” из-за недостаточной поддержки или слишком резкого перехода к головному резонансу. Попробуйте сосредоточиться на равномерном расширении груди и открытой глотке даже при повышении высоты звука. 💪🏻🎶👍🏻
@@giancarlomonsalve Вы хороший человек и прекрасный певец!)
Why do voicecracks happen?
Singing too much or not enough training
А, звук надо ощущать в одном месте?
Концентрируйтесь не столько на самом звуке, сколько на ощущениях вибраций, которые создаются в костной структуре. Например, попробуйте почувствовать вибрации в грудине, в зубах, а также частично в тканях, ощущая лёгкое жужжание вибраций на губах. Это более важно, чем сам звук.
@giancarlomonsalve благодарю вас за ответ!))) Желаю вам ещё больших успехов)))
you sing ah mes amis song
Bello 👏👏👏
i struggle so much with keeping my larynx low, and i make my larynx low by lowering my tongue😭😭 i dont know what to doo
