How to Relieve Jaw Tension
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2018
- Our jaw muscles are far stronger, and usually far more active, than we need them to be for articulation in classical singing. This video presents an introduction to jaw anatomy and function and offers strategies for releasing jaw tension and coordinating the jaw for efficient singing articulation.

Dear Claudia, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Your videos have helped me very much. So glad that you are back! :-)
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Claudia, you are an amazing teacher :-) ! ! !
This is wonderful
Claudia ;) thanks so much
I've only just came across your videos and I think you are absolutely fantastic. I love that you always give context at the beginning of your videos, like in your first video about breathing where you explained the difference between costal and diaphragmatic breathing. I've watched so many different videos on breathing and singing in general on RUclips and yours was by far the most practical. I find most singing videos on here are very short and very vague. As a teacher you are particularly engaging; your calm and pragmatic manner is fantastic, with some of the other videos on here I think they try to hard to be funny or quirky. Thank-you!
Thanks Daniel! I feel as though a lot of the technical skills singers work on become a lot easier if you really understand the movements involved and how the anatomy works. It's my goal to help demystify these things, and it means a lot to hear that you're finding these videos clear and helpful!
Very very helpful! thank you maam!!!!
awesome and much needed THANKSSSS
I really enjoy your style of explanation. Most teachers I've found talk too much theory before giving you concrete examples, so it's easy to get lost before actually understanding what they're talking about. They seem to like the sound of their own voice too much, if you'll excuse the ironic cliché. I find it easy to get bored with a lot of vocal teachers. You move at a good pace without waffling on too much before getting to the real nuggets of info. Thanks.
brilliant!
Thanks for this very helpful video. A new teacher recently pointed out my jaw (as well as tongue root) tension and yes, I was over-opening, which was creating more tension. I have made a small contribution to your Kiva fundraising and look forward to watching future videos.
Thank you so much for your contribution! I'm so happy you found this helpful 😀
Wondeful video. Keep it up. How can i learn that. Where can i learn this vocal pedagogy approaches?
Thank you.
Thank you coach for this tip hope you help me how to sing high notes without tension of tongue or other part can cause tension
Brittany’s elder version, very useful videos.

STOP LOOKING AT MEEEEEE
Thank you so much Claudia for the Tips, i got impressed when you mentioned wie melodien because that was my first lied 😍, in my case my bridle is too short and i feel my "n" makes move my jaw, but probably that's just a pretext
You do not have to move your jaw for n, but it can take some time and patience to coordinate your jaw and tongue in order to all the jaw to stay relaxed when you articulate consonants like n. Speech habits can be very stubborn, but you can change them!
Claudia, could you please consider making the audio louder? Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and for your books well! Can you give a reference for the handle massager you are using?
I'm using the original Lelo Siri, which has unfortunately been discontinued. The Siri 2 is comparable, but the Je Joue Mimi Soft is preferable. For the exercises in this video, the relatively inexpensive Penguin Mini Massager is fine www.amazon.com/Uniclife-Massager-Vibration-Soothing-Shoulders/dp/B018U6Q1V2/
Thank you for your answer. I will check on that.
Excellent! Just the volume is low and it makes it hard to hear. Well done again.. Thanksss mom. From PARS(PERSIA)
Hello, I can't find anymore the link to buy a mini handle-massager like yours... Thanks for answering and bravo for your videos ! Yves
Hi Yves! They no longer make the model I used in this particular video. The massager I now recommend is the Nea 2 from Lelo: goo.gl/soorj4
Claudia Friedlander ...I had an inkling... soooo how do you not feel awkward using those with your students?
@@ClaudiaFriedlander may I ask, what was the model that you were using though - I'd like to know, even if now not available
@@courtneymillermezzo I've been using them for so many years now that I rarely even get jokes about them any more. If you have to choose between swiftly alleviating a student's jaw tension and avoiding a moment of awkwardness, it's a no-brainer. Besides, there are always going to be awkward things happening in voice lessons! I should point out that I do not work with children. If I were to, I'd probably want to have a conversation with their parents first.
@@karenskinner9529 The colorful massagers are the original Siri from Lelo. The Siri 2 looks identical but has a different engine, and in my opinion the rate and intensity of vibration from the newer model make it a rather blunt instrument by comparison. The Nea 2 is more versatile, IMO.
Her mouth very pretty when she speaks
Ich komme aus India .. Ich bin ein Sanger ..Indian classical I sing and commercial also.. can you give skype classes. I really feel that One on one session will arrest my problem of some tension I always experience even normally other than singing... I hv lot of musicality inside me but I can do only 40 % of what I can I feel.. please help me..my tongue seems very heavy and during quick inhalation between phrases while singing, sometimes my tongue comes out
I do offer online lessons - in fact, that is all I am doing these days! Feel free to request a session: www.appointmentquest.com/scheduler/2120064031/
@@ClaudiaFriedlander that's great... Mai I know the charges in INR.. for sessions... Please consider a little seeing the lockdown phase... I'm a struggling musician..i want to really sing at my potential... I'm really highly impressed by your teaching and knowledge..don't want to miss this opportunity to be trained and disciplined by you..Thanks a ton in advance 🌹
Excellent videos though...just the volume part to be improved.
Claudia, would the same apply to pop style singing? Instead of classical
Definitely yes, but it's an interesting question. Regardless of style, jaw tension has an impact on resonance - the timbre or color of your sound, the ability to vary that timbre or keep it consistent depending on your preference. A jaw that is tight or overactive will limit and compromise your resonance space. This may seem to matter less for pop styles because you're singing with a microphone, which not only amplifies you but also does some of the work of resonance; it also ensures that we'll hear your lyrics even if you aren't articulating them very precisely. However, a tight or uncoordinated jaw creates resistance for your voice and means you'll have to work harder to produce your sound (so you fatigue earlier), may limit your overall range, and prevent your sound from having the clarity and beauty that it would otherwise have. So a free jaw is good for all styles, whereas I can't think of a situation where a tight jaw would have any advantages.
Thank you for your response! Should I try to keep my jaw open and limit movement on the consonants as much as possible then while singing pop style music? Just like you demonstrate in the exercises? And just use the lips and relaxed tongue to articulate?
I recommend doing the exercises (especially the massage) and then not worrying so much about it when practicing your song lyrics. The goal is a relaxed and responsive jaw, so take care not to hold it in an open position. But then if there is a phrase that you are struggling with in a song you are singing, find out if you are using your jaw more than you need to for the consonants and whether relaxing it makes the phrase go better.
All your videos are on low volume...sometimes difficult to hear...
Your ancestors ate raw meat? That's gross.
