Hey Mark..Just came across your geat vocal techniques series last year ..Watching and following you from Australia,, and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that has to burp sometimes during vocal exercise ..hahaha
I had not heard of the idea of the jaw keeping calm to keep the tone and resonance. Makes a lot of sense to me esp. how you present it. Explains what I am hearing. Now I have much more motivation to practice a relaxed jaw because I have a very clear idea of what consequence to listen for in playback. Thanks Mark!
Relaxing the jaw has always been my personal setback. I needed this warm up, and the way you described in detail, [the physical aspect] is TRULY appreciated. It’s become a form of meditation for me. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎤🎸
‘The smallest move you can make creates the most consistent vowels’. Yea! Yes! Yes! How many of us were told to exaggerate the facial muscles on this exercise?!
Hello Mark. I am a totally honest person and had not heard of you until 10 minutes ago. I started to learn proper singing techniques after a long time of my voice breaking and cracking and not being to hold notes etc. I subscribed to a site which I have always been happy with but I am ALWAYS interested in discovering new tutors. I always read a few comments from people after I have done my vocal warm ups (I also do body warm ups before the vocal ones) and this is just how I came across your name (but as I say, on the other site). I have done your 10 second (then 15 second) humming practice and then this one. I have done a few tests online and I am Mezzo. I have more problems with my lower register, which I have been working on more, of late. I would like to sing higher but I NEVER over-stretch my voice, as you advise anyway, so I feel I am doing everything correctly. That said, my upper register has extended considerably since I started with "lessons". Well Mark, you have a new follower and I I think you approach and explanations and wonderful, and needless to say I subscribed straight away. Thank you so much. Can't wait until tomorrow!
Thank you! Fave genres - musical theatre and light opera, but I also sing 60s (and some 70s) songs, and Caro Emerald ones. Thanks for acknowledging my comments. "See" you tomorrow!
I hung my jaw so much I started drooling a little lol. Very important lesson, I tend to go to the extreme so I literally never moved my jaw it just hung. Looked like I had a broken jaw lol.
One thing I try to do to pronunciate, is move my jaw too much and I’ve always noticed it takes the sharpness out of my voice. I feel such a flow between my vowels when doing this. Another one in the books to help improve my vocals. Thank you so much for all you do, Mark!
Hi Mark! You're a great teacher! Do you have a video specifically about vocal cord closure? If not, would you maybe make one sometime? Thanks for your lessons! Christina
I don't think it'e instructive to focus on the mechanics of the larynx - simply because it cannot be felt. So it tends to encourage external involvement. You know the folds are closing efficiently when you produce a clear sound. I find it much more productive to focus on the sound - the pitch, the timbre, the volume and the duration in order to achieve balanced within.
Mark, I’d like to get a complete course from you, preferably online, but your Rock and Roll manual is out of stock everywhere. Do you have a complete course that I could purchase?
I am currently at work on a new book - but I have a very complete overview already posted on RUclips for free. I think the only reason you're dismissing it is because you didn't pay for it. It's all right there!
Hey sir, I know this is something all singers want to avoid and all vocal coaches advice and teach students to not try to sound like someone else, but for me I don't care I just want to sing for myself and for that reason I want to sound like Bryan Adams because that is the voice I love, I am wondering if that is possible to achieve even if not 100% identic still be pretty close, if yes how?
Scar tissue. That's most likely how he achieves his grainy sound. When he was young he pushed his voice very hard. Now it sounds that way without much force. The thing to remember is that the voice inside is pretty much the same for everyone. The difference is the person. If you give the same guitar to 4 different guitarist it won't sound the same. So sing in tribute to Bryan and your admiration will come through.
That's a really good exercise but when you are singing a song it seems the words get in the way , with the constant changing of pitch and intonation. Is there something we could do with the consonants as an exercise?
If I notice someone's technique then they have failed to capture my imagination. If a singer doesn't capture my imagination than I don't listen very long (unless I'm getting paid!). The whole point of training is so that the mechanics of singing disappears and the sentiment of the song takes over. My goal as a trainer is trust. Trust your skills, trust your intention, trust your listener. It's only when an artist trusts on these levels will he or she inspire others and become popular. So, in that regard, all popular singers are excellent. You don't have to like their choices to respect their level of vulnerability.
Hello Mark! I am trying to sing in the style of Josh Groban and I wonder wich ones of your videos would be more suitable to follow for the improvement?
Hey, mark! I love your videos. They help me so much. Thank you! I have always wondered since I found your vids, were you Scott Weiland's vocal coach? Have you ever thought about doing any videos on questions like that or who you've worked with? Anyway, hope that's acceptable to ask. Thank you again
Hey John - Scott had a bunch of different coaches over the years - but yes - I worked with him when he was in Velvet Revolver. The notable names I've worked with are on my website - but I don't talk about what I do with them for privacy reasons.

You want to "hear" articulation - not "feel" it. Sing with flow!
@@voicelessondotcom LOVE THIS! Very helpful.
Great stuff! Needed this real bad. Trying to improve my karaoke 😁🎤

@@voicelessondotcom thank you a lot good sir, your videos are very motivational and helpful
Is that hanging jaw key element for all singing helps ? Relax jaw ? I think this tip helps me at once.
So I had an Iron jaw...
Yes - a relaxed jaw helps not only everything we sing - but everything we do. Anyone that does anything well does so with a relaxed jaw.
That's a really good exercise but when you are singing a song it seems the words get in the way , with the constant changing of pitch and intonation.
Is there something we could do with the consonants as an exercise?
This is the best way to transition into songs: ruclips.net/video/EKOlgdiqarM/видео.html
In your opinion who is an excellent popular female and male vocalist as far as technique ?
If I notice someone's technique then they have failed to capture my imagination. If a singer doesn't capture my imagination than I don't listen very long (unless I'm getting paid!). The whole point of training is so that the mechanics of singing disappears and the sentiment of the song takes over. My goal as a trainer is trust.
