Hey Lisa, What a wonderful webinar! We talked earlier this year about my ongoing research into substyles, and I've been going back to watch all of your videos. They have been incredibly important to me. Thank you so much for this.
I have literally never heard anyone say we have to stay in M1 on every part of our range. Everyone just confuses it with bridging to head voice, confuses it with all kinds of other terminologies. I've been in a massive loop of confusion for years. I was just about to give up on extending chest voice, since I have a bad case of oversupporting, and not leaning (I call it tilting) and thinning enough, I'm struggling to get into that sensation. Glad there's someone out there with innovative ways of teaching that everybody can understand.
Thank you so much for your detailed comment! I just had one thing to share, though I hope it won't add to any confusion, but here goes: tilting is not "laryngeal lean" aka hyoid pull. I believe when the thyroid cartilage tilts down in the front, the vocal fold length increases and the edge becomes thinner. This results in a more ringy sound with more sensation of head vibration though it's still in M1. With "lean", meaning the hyoid bone moves forward, along with the thyroid cartilage perhaps, the sound maintains its natural projected calling sound. It sounds fuller than the tilting sound. Hope that helps! Thank you again...
Hi Jen, I'm glad you found it informative! And I actually have a lot to say about mixed voice. I'll be presenting on that topic for a virtual voice conference hosted in Tel Aviv in a couple of weeks. If you'd like to see the presentation (I"ve made a video for it), please feel free to contact me through my website popeil.comand I'll send it to you. Would be interested in your thoughts as well!
While you described chest voice or M1 as the voice you can and do speak through, and is not restricted to high notes, there was not a corresponding description of head voice or enough demo of head voice on low notes. Is the inferrence that M2 is where the voice becomes singsongy rather than speach like, or? Or is it a matter of how much compression is in the chords no matter where in the range you are? I notice you do not refer to compression per se...
Sorry for any confusion. What I say is that M1 is the vibrational pattern of the vocal folds we use when we speak. It's also called "chest voice" or "modal register" and is often thought of as used only on LOW notes (not high notes as you mentioned). M2 (aka "head voice" or "loft register" is a different vocal fold vibrational pattern that sounds "hooty" like an owl. We use it when we giggle on high pitches or when a man comedically tries to sound like an old woman (check out Monty Python skits). It's taught that head voice is only for high notes, but one can actually produce M2 on one's lowest pitches though the sound is extremely soft and airy on those lowest notes. I hope that helps clarify the distinction somewhat!
Good aerobic capacity and flexibility throughout the body are both very helpful. I don't suggest traditional sit-ups though since they tend to overtighten the ab muscles. Every other form of exercise helps singing stamina, IMO!

Pure Gold!!!! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much for making this available! I’m looking forward to joining on Sunday.
You're very welcome- "see" you for Master Pop Vocal Styles next!
You're wonderful, Lisa. This is such a great review for me. Miss you!
SO glad you could join me...I'm sure you're doing well with your teaching!
Oh my goodensss!! I’m watching this now and just came across this. :)
Lisa, This is great because you're substantiating what I always felt but wasn't totally sure about.
Thanks Bob! I have had that experience myself so many times. I would feel things for which there were no existing words!
Thank you so much! I love your stream very much... - the lean helped (with the bite....) to stay in m1 - great!

Aw I missed it, I'm in Australia so it came in at 5am 😂 but I'm loving the playback. Thank you Lisa!
Thanks Maryanne! Hope you'll be able to check out the next video when it's ready:)
Amazing information!
Thank you!
@@LisaPopeil You're welcome!
Hello Lisa, and thank you so much for a very informative presentation on belting! I’m interested to know your thoughts on mixed voice is? Thank you :)

I typed the link onto my browser, I don’t know why it doesn’t work. Did you say the handout is on your website too?
You may see and download the Belting handout here: tinyurl.com/11bjo93k
hi i have a song on youtube call ido i wont to know if iam singing in a belt voice
How about singing stamina? does cardio work?
