How I wish this had been my first lesson on breathing. I was confused for years with bad advice until a teacher of mine finally thought me this. Could've saved me so much time...
No kidding. He is so handsome! And what a voice! Have you heard Justin's range and how different he can make his voice sound. Amazing: ruclips.net/video/tnSSp3R9Wd8v/видео.htmle
Thanks jonathon. I am a mature student of vocals. You explained the art of vocals+ arpoggio very well, im seeing some improvement in my voice control. Keep up the good work. You are gifted. Sheila
I think Justin is giving so much information that will actually let us learn the needed techniques. Unlike other videos that are hard and lacks detail in it. Some of them are just giving vague information that would not let us get the actual knowledge we are looking for. This is why I only come here. Thanks to New York Vocal Coaching for giving free to access lessons!
Leonardo DiCaprio pls help Harry Styles to learn a proper techniques for belting. he seems doesnt know diaphragm support and head voice. kinda feel pity for him during his live
Great lesson on appoggio breathing! You explained this difficult concept very well. It takes a great teacher to be able break down the feeling and explain it to others. Thank you for sharing!
Justin can you cover the rasp/vocal distortion? Because I think no one else here on yt who tries to exlain it really knows what's he/she talking about.
Gah. I can't believe you just share this freely. Just about every other vocal coach that has a RUclips presence only shares incomplete bits of what they're talking about - starting at 30% of the lesson and ending at 70% - not for the sake of teaching you, but to bait you into purchasing their singing classes. NYVC is an absolute gem. Invaluable for those of us who lack the financial and/or mental capacity for in-person voice lessons.
Oh my god I can hit high notes with so much ease now. I was cracking but I realized it was because I was taking to much air. Like I could power my way into higher notes but it's the opposite. Sips of air. Like singing through a straw. Otherwise the voice cracks to protect itself. Thank you guys. These videos have been life changing. I'm finally finding the joy in my voice. It's like falling in love. I could cry.
Maybe I'm being fanatical but learning and applying all of this is a literal high. Like I'm in my 30s, went through theater training but could never figure out the voice. There was just so much tension. These videos are such a gift. Justin is the greatest teacher in the world. I'm so grateful to him and everyone at New York Vocal Coaching!
Wow Justin, you scared me to death with that notification "Ep 92 Final", please don't do that again hehehe, thanks a lot for this video about appoggio, I was just learning how to do it, and your video is gold, you read my mind!!! :D :D :D I hope you get to a million videos, we need you and thank you for all your great effort, passion and joy! God bless you!! You're awesome!! You're videos are so fun and educational. I'm always waiting for a new video. And in the meantime I watch and rewatch your other videos :D :D :D , I always come back to you!!. By the way I'm Abdel :D :D :D
Appoggio breathing looks as if you’re keeping your stomach and ribs expanded while you exhale; but the shiny solar plexus video looks like you intentionally “set” your exhale by engaging and drawing in the low belly or pelvic floor. How do I exhale Justin?!
Wow! I wish these videos were available when I first started voice lessons. It took me a while to sing with belly and rib expansion and eliminating collapse and tension. The concept of breath support was not explained to me this clearly. I was always told to use more support, and as you mentioned in this video, I thought this meant more air (and tension). I eventually learned proper breath support but it took a while to get there. This teaching series is great!
Thanks for your support, kkp! Justin's mission is to help singers overcome the unfortunate amount of conflicting information out there! So glad you found us!
This was the hardest thing for me to grasp in singing. The lean. It's not leaning forcefully, it's support that makes you lean in. You will it when you do. Two mechanisms cause this. Diaphragm breathing, and focusing on the baring down muscles. I didn't understand the second one, baring down. It's like doing squats but you focus on the "area" as you sing. It really is magical.
Soy de Argentina. Tus videos son de MUCHISIMA ayuda!! Aunque todavía estoy acostumbrandome al inglés jaja. Muchas gracías por compartir tus conocimientos con el mundo. Es asombroso que alguien haga eso. Se nota que sos un buen tipo, saludos! WAS VERY VERY NICE TO MEET YOU BRO!!
I'm starting to realise that every single on the NYVC videos are essential to all singers, and I'm gonna have to go through every one before i become a good singer XD Thanks again guys for another great video! Just as i think I've got the main aspects of singing in the bag, another is presented to me -;P
I am so GRATEFUL and THANKFUL for sharing this breathing technique...it has helped massively. Again thank you very much Justine----from the Philippines.
please continue making more videos Justin!! I really love your channel and your singing tips. You're one of the better vocal instructors on youtube and your videos have been really helpful :) would love to have more content from you
Hi Justin, everyone including the professionals tell me that I have a beautiful voice, but it needs to be worked, and they tell me I have to sing all the time, but the truth is that it makes Years that I sing and I do vocal exercises, so I do not understand what I miss! Help me please
You need a teacher. You need one on one and you cannot learn how to sing from you tube - no matter how wonderful the videos are. I have been through this myself. Finally got a good teacher on Skype and I am seeing the difference. Singing properly is not easy (for most of us) and its worth having lessons if you have some natural talent. The reason why you need a real teacher just for you is that you need someone to tell you what you are doing wrong, to be the ears because our own are unreliable. Also you need that someone because of the ambiguity of singing terminology and the fact that we cannot see inside our larynx and its hard to know what's going on. A well trained teacher, can hear what's going on and help you correct any bad habits. I will add that when I was doing a vocal course and working with videos, I saw no real improvement because I was doing something fundamentally wrong and I had no idea. Another thing is tension. There's a lot of talk about tension but most of it is not about where it really counts. That is in the larynx. A good vocal coach can hear the tension and make you become aware of it and how to let it go. I do Skype lessons myself and although its not as ideal as having a real life teacher, if the Skype teacher is good, then that's the main thing. Find some money and get some half hour lessons. Also get a keyboard and learn the basics at the very least. I've now started to learn piano though because I'm frustrated with not being able to sing along easily with backing tracks etc. But its all good. Learning music is very satisfying, especially I think if you have some natural talent.
Justin!!! Please T___T I finally made it here from episode 1. I hope you continue with this series. It is literally the best, most resourceful and educational signing lesson video series I have found on RUclips. You've helped me so much!
9:14 you mean with "don't squeeze your cords" not pushing them together with excessive pressure right? After all you hold the breath by closing your vocal cords
This is how my first singing teacher - a retired opera singer - taught me as a child; and how no other teacher taught me since. I thought I was unlearning bad habits all through music school :S
hey!I am a beginner.everyone appreciates me on my singing but when I voice record myself on my android I sound totally different and insane.is this same for everyone 😁😁
""BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO YOU"' - This is exactly what I needed!!! Your explanations made it so easy to understand the importance of proper breathing as I suffer from a lot of tension in my throat area when I sing. I've only been singing for one year with a singing school and I will definitely be using the Farinelli method and Appoggio to keep improving in technique. Thankyou so much. Great work. You've just gained a new subscriber : )
Thank you so much for this Justin! For some reason, whenever I sing high notes, my neck constricts itself, and you can see a sort of bend inwards in the center of my neck when I sing higher notes. Not to mention, this sort of lump forms right below my chin. I notice that when professional singers sing live, I see that their neck remains completely still and you only see the veins pop out at their neck sides. Do you have any videos about how I can deal with this problem?
Great Justin.This is the first time I hear what I have been saying for a long time to my students, that support is precisely the resistance to the natural movement of the diaphragm. Did I understand correctly? I love your tutorials, clear, precise and highly documented. My best wishes... from Barcelona
Yeah I think that's what he said. but another way to say it is to slow down the release of air and to keep the torso as it is when inhaling - which does slow down the rising of the diaphragm apparently. And its the first time I've heard that too. So its great to finally get clarity on that point. Once - only once when doing some breathing exercises, I actually felt something very weird in my diaphragm. It was like my body took over the resistance and I didn't have to control it. It was pretty good. But I am not certain if that's what is supposed to happen. I would like clarity on that myself.
Why do my ears pop when I sing? I don't have any tension. And I have vibration in my ear when I sing as well. Please help Some say eustachian tube in your ear is balancing the pressure inside with the outside But I just don't know I went to the doctor and he doesn't understand why my ear only pops when I sing either
I can do it! actually since I was younger I do it already. .. some teach me to sing with a breathing through belly only but I often use the diaphragm breathing and sometimes doing it both. .. yes it could help you sustain notes that are 6 or 8 counts...
So i originally for a couple days inhaled through my mouth and exhaled through my mouth and could feel my ribs closing in, but when i inhaled through my nose and exhaled through my mouth I could feel them stay in place. Is the inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth thing correct? It works for me but if its wrong well obv i wanna fix that
Hello Justin, Thank you very much for this useful appoggio breathing, but Do you have a video using apoggio in actual singing. I still don’t know how to apply it as I sing. Do you offer online singing lessons?
Sorry but how can i take a deep and free breath again if my ribs are already expanded , i mean after trying to exhale or sing with expanded ribs and not letting them come at the same position how can i take deep breath again with already expanded ribs, thanks
Your knowledge is out of this world. It took me thirty years of studying and experimenting with my voice in order to produce a relatively good sound and basically there are about a million things I don't know. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge with us .
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching I'm so glad young singers have now the chance to learn from you. You help them bring their dreams to life. I live in Greece and I wish I could have when I was a student such knowledge at my disposal. Unfortunately when I was trying to learn there were so many contradicting views on the subject of singing that it was impossible for me to build a proper technique. Finally with your valuable assistance I can even now put all those different terms in proper perspective. Thank you so much . By the way all your presentations are fun and lively. A real pleasure to watch . Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravoooooooooooo I HAVE LISTEN JUST HALF OF YOUR VIDEO BUT I WANT TO SAY this RIGHT NOW. I AM AN OPERA SINGER AND I MUST SAY OUT LOUD BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WHOEVER SAYS SOMETHING AGAINST THIS VIDEO IS WRONG.. TOTALY WRONG. BECOUSE EVERYTHING YIU SAY IS TOTALLY RIGHT... ESPECIALLY FOR OPERA!!! BRAVOOOOOO
Oh WOW the difference in my singing just after doing this exercise... incredible. I knew I was struggling with breath support technique but I didn't know what to do about it. I will be doing this exercise DAILY!
I like the Farinelli, tried it and sh'd for 50, thats opera singing for 30 years, I have taught this technique, in a similar way but call it the hissing exercise and do it on c, as in sea,
I should have watched this years ago. This was my problem, everything pointed out in this. Time to record this fucking album now that I can actually hit the notes I wrote without my throat closing in a few seconds haha.
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching yeah it was wild. I literally just did the exercise and then tried singing to my favorite songs and I could hit the notes for a good 30+ minutes rather than failing the first few notes with throat pain. I got very light headed. Thanks so much
Hi, great video! Question for ya: Should I be inhaling through my nose or my mouth, or both, for the Farrinelli exercise? Also am I supposed to exhale all of my air when I'm doing the breathing out portion? Is it ok if I still have some air left? Thank you!
Hey there! The nose is ideal! Check out this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/IS3UO5NZKcs/видео.html And no, you don't need to breathe out all the air! :) -NYVC
Question: on the Farinelli, when you are exhaling, as it begins with exhale shh for 5 counts, we're not exhaling ALL of the breath at that point right? .. But then it goes right into inhaling again .. So.. that's my question; i got confused - Thinking surely if we're not inhaling fresh air on top of not fully exhaled air, then it must be that we are meant to flush out all the air on that "shhhh" exhale each time. Is that right? ❓
Nah.Forget about the belly. ( all pushing the belly out does is move your guts (out) ) Lower ribs are the key. AND cough,your stomach goes in right? same time the spot between your sex center and naval goes out,right? The latter is more where you should feel tension,NOT your abs/mid section.2
Hi Red Hot! Belly Breathing causes the Diaphragm to drop lower, allowing the lungs to suck air into them more deeply. And the engagement that we should feel is a gentle engagement of the Low Abs, around your navel. You can feel an ideal Breath Support scenario by breathing deep into the body and exhaling on a hiss, or a "ssssss". But Belly Breathing is certainly not the only way to breathe. Check out our oldest episode, Ep. 1 "Breathing Types", if you'd like more on that topic! -NYVC
I am 81 years old. I have been singing for 1+ year. My vocal range is B flat 2 to F5. I can sing in the tone quality of operatic Bass Baritone, Baritone, Tenor, mixed tenor and a at least few notes in mixed Baritone. If you want a sample I have uploaded Old Man River on to youtube. I use Bass Baritone to mixed Baritone to Baritone to tenor in the ending of Old Man River. Am I alone? Can anyone else use all these qualities of voice? How unusually is it to be able to increase my range at 81 years old? I started with my highest note D4 and it is now G4. I went to high A flat 5 and then went back to F4 before my latest increase.
Hi Neil! We love that you are singing! Everyone's voice is different and anyone can learn to sing and increase their range. Sounds like you're doing wonderful work! Keep it up! -NYVC
I enjoy my own vocal teacher that I'm learning from currently, but I gotta admit watching this made me think I would really enjoy taking lessons from you, your teaching style is very engaging and fun.
Hello! I just wanted to ask a question. when doing the breathing exercises, my stomach doesn't really expand nor can I take a breath longer than 4 seconds. I've tried to but I end up coughing it out, is there a way to fix this?
Hi Smexy! We recommend bringing your question to Justin's live chat where you can discuss this with him! We'll have another one in June. More info in our Community Tab! -NYVC
Control over breathing. My singing teach said I was breathy when I sang and I realised I was pushing out extra breath on some words when I did not need to.

Great lesson on appoggio breathing! You explained this difficult concept very well. It takes a great teacher to be able break down the feeling and explain it to others. Thank you for sharing!
Justin can you cover the rasp/vocal distortion? Because I think no one else here on yt who tries to exlain it really knows what's he/she talking about.
That will be coming at some point. Probably next year. -NYVC
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching It's 2 years already. . . There are many people on youtube teaching how to do rasp/ distortion but I only trust Mrs.Justin.
Gah. I can't believe you just share this freely. Just about every other vocal coach that has a RUclips presence only shares incomplete bits of what they're talking about - starting at 30% of the lesson and ending at 70% - not for the sake of teaching you, but to bait you into purchasing their singing classes. NYVC is an absolute gem. Invaluable for those of us who lack the financial and/or mental capacity for in-person voice lessons.

Thx!

Hello Justin,
Thank you very much for this useful appoggio breathing,
but Do you have a video using apoggio in actual singing. I still don’t know how to apply it as I sing.
Do you offer online singing lessons?
Helpful as always. Thank you Justin 👌👌👌
We're so glad! 😃 -NYVC
Is this what you do when singing words also? (Breathing in slowly) I’m having trouble grasping the transition into words.
I just can't get any sound out without pushing the belly in, It happens automatically for me and I can't do it without that
Sorry but how can i take a deep and free breath again if my ribs are already expanded , i mean after trying to exhale or sing with expanded ribs and not letting them come at the same position how can i take deep breath again with already expanded ribs, thanks
I can't Farinelli-inhale as long as you'd like me to but I can Farinelli-exhale much longer actually 😛
Great video! and you are also very funny 😆
We're glad you enjoyed it Marguerite! :D -NYVC
Your knowledge is out of this world. It took me thirty years of studying and experimenting with my voice in order to produce a relatively good sound and basically there are about a million things I don't know. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge with us .
We really hope all our shows can help you Daphne! Keep up the great work and don't give up! -NYVC
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching I'm so glad young singers have now the chance to learn from you. You help them bring their dreams to life. I live in Greece and I wish I could have when I was a student such knowledge at my disposal. Unfortunately when I was trying to learn there were so many contradicting views on the subject of singing that it was impossible for me to build a proper technique. Finally with your valuable assistance I can even now put all those different terms in proper perspective. Thank you so much . By the way all your presentations are fun and lively. A real pleasure to watch . Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravoooooooooooo I HAVE LISTEN JUST HALF OF YOUR VIDEO BUT I WANT TO SAY this RIGHT NOW.
I AM AN OPERA SINGER AND I MUST SAY OUT LOUD
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
WHOEVER SAYS SOMETHING AGAINST THIS VIDEO IS WRONG.. TOTALY WRONG. BECOUSE EVERYTHING YIU SAY IS TOTALLY RIGHT... ESPECIALLY FOR OPERA!!! BRAVOOOOOO
Wow! Thank you Oreste! We're so glad you liked it! :) -NYVC
8:05 had me dead lol. thanks for all you do and for your personality!!
I can’t seem to inhale for that long.
It just start hurting my abs. Being asthmatic sucks.
Oh man! :( -NYVC
09:24 - for myself
I feel like I’m buying the appoggio on 3 Easy Payments of just $39.95!!
Great video!😎👏👏
Lol! -NYVC
I can't fully express myself how grateful I am for this video lesson. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🤗
💙 -NYVC
Oh WOW the difference in my singing just after doing this exercise... incredible. I knew I was struggling with breath support technique but I didn't know what to do about it. I will be doing this exercise DAILY!
Awesome work, Erin! -NYVC
I like the Farinelli, tried it and sh'd for 50, thats opera singing for 30 years, I have taught this technique, in a similar way but call it the hissing exercise and do it on c, as in sea,
Cool! 😃 -NYVC
I should have watched this years ago. This was my problem, everything pointed out in this. Time to record this fucking album now that I can actually hit the notes I wrote without my throat closing in a few seconds haha.
Wow! We're so glad this helped you 7! Keep up the amazing work and break a leg with your album! :D -NYVC
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching yeah it was wild. I literally just did the exercise and then tried singing to my favorite songs and I could hit the notes for a good 30+ minutes rather than failing the first few notes with throat pain. I got very light headed. Thanks so much
Is it just me or he looks and acts like Leonardo DiCaprio 😅❤️
Hi, great video! Question for ya: Should I be inhaling through my nose or my mouth, or both, for the Farrinelli exercise? Also am I supposed to exhale all of my air when I'm doing the breathing out portion? Is it ok if I still have some air left? Thank you!
Hey there! The nose is ideal! Check out this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/IS3UO5NZKcs/видео.html
And no, you don't need to breathe out all the air! :) -NYVC
Question: on the Farinelli, when you are exhaling, as it begins with exhale shh for 5 counts, we're not exhaling ALL of the breath at that point right? .. But then it goes right into inhaling again .. So.. that's my question; i got confused -
Thinking surely if we're not inhaling fresh air on top of not fully exhaled air, then it must be that we are meant to flush out all the air on that "shhhh" exhale each time. Is that right? ❓
Wow. I've watched many different videos on this, but this one was the most helpful by a long shot! So descriptive and informative! Subbed!
So thankful for your feedback Will! Thank you! -NYVC
Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio lol
Ha! Check out our episode "Leonardo DiCaprio Voice Lessons"! -NYVC
Incredible video! My vocal coach sent me this clip to learn more! Thank you so much!
So glad it helped! -NYVC
you’re the best justin! love frm indonesia!
Love right back to you, M! 😄 -NYVC
you have Jurassic 5 as your intro song and im TOTALLY here for it!!!!!!!!!!
Lol! :D -NYVC
Funny that you'd mention Bruno Mars, that man can hit an E5 effortlessly and I can't even do that comfortably as a female 😂😂
Lol! That's okay, everyone is different! You can do it, just takes time and practice! -NYVC
Nah.Forget about the belly.
( all pushing the belly out does is move your guts (out) )
Lower ribs are the key.
AND cough,your stomach goes in right? same time the spot between your sex center and naval goes out,right? The latter is more where you should feel tension,NOT your abs/mid section.2
Hi Red Hot! Belly Breathing causes the Diaphragm to drop lower, allowing the lungs to suck air into them more deeply. And the engagement that we should feel is a gentle engagement of the Low Abs, around your navel. You can feel an ideal Breath Support scenario by breathing deep into the body and exhaling on a hiss, or a "ssssss".
But Belly Breathing is certainly not the only way to breathe. Check out our oldest episode, Ep. 1 "Breathing Types", if you'd like more on that topic! -NYVC
[8:10 ish]
You're so effing adorable. 😊✌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
Justin appreciates your kind words! :) -NYVC
I am 81 years old. I have been singing for 1+ year. My vocal range is B flat 2 to F5. I can sing in the tone quality of operatic Bass Baritone, Baritone, Tenor, mixed tenor and a at least few notes in mixed Baritone. If you want a sample I have uploaded Old Man River on to youtube. I use Bass Baritone to mixed Baritone to Baritone to tenor in the ending of Old Man River. Am I alone? Can anyone else use all these qualities of voice? How unusually is it to be able to increase my range at 81 years old? I started with my highest note D4 and it is now G4. I went to high A flat 5 and then went back to F4 before my latest increase.
Hi Neil! We love that you are singing! Everyone's voice is different and anyone can learn to sing and increase their range. Sounds like you're doing wonderful work! Keep it up! -NYVC
I enjoy my own vocal teacher that I'm learning from currently, but I gotta admit watching this made me think I would really enjoy taking lessons from you, your teaching style is very engaging and fun.
Mr. Stoney appreciates your kind words! If you'd like to work with him, you can reach out to Assistant@NewYorkVocalCoaching.com! :) -NYVC
Finally such a great video that explains proper EXHALING! Thank you so much!!!
So glad you liked it, Malika! -NYVC
Excellent method, pedagogy, empathy, congrats!
Thanks! -NYVC
Hello! I just wanted to ask a question. when doing the breathing exercises, my stomach doesn't really expand nor can I take a breath longer than 4 seconds. I've tried to but I end up coughing it out, is there a way to fix this?
Hi Smexy! We recommend bringing your question to Justin's live chat where you can discuss this with him! We'll have another one in June. More info in our Community Tab! -NYVC
Thank you so much❤
You're welcome! 💙 Thanks for watching! -NYVC
Can’t thank you enough Justin 🙏
Control over breathing. My singing teach said I was breathy when I sang and I realised I was pushing out extra breath on some words when I did not need to.
Nice work noticing this! -NYVC
Best explanation and demo of this technique
Also I loved the 'any old civilian can exhale' 😄
Glad you enjoyed it Geespar! 😄 -NYVC
