I haven't watched this video yet, but I just discovered something that was a missing piece for me. That thing is this. Practice activating the crying muscles without actually vocalizing. It feels like I am making the space in my sinuses small and more focused. And that translated to me into better chord closure and not breaking!
@@Oleg_K. sure. So I just assume the cry posture in my face and throat. I don't vocalize. Then I notice how the inside of my face and my soft palate feel in this posture. Like a muscle memory thing. Then when I vocalize, everything stays much more connected and stable,. In essence, it feels like you are shaping your resonator into a more focused shape. This is something you have to feel in order to commit to memory. The cool thing too is that it also makes going higher in chest easier. It just makes your whole voice more efficient.
Hey Sterling, i just found your channel and you have some great ways to explain things. Ways I don't hear other instructors talking about. I'm wondering what your take on warm ups are.Could you make a video on how you typically warm up? Or maybe what we should be looking for in our own warm ups? There's sooo many different warm up exercises. How do we choose the ones we should do every day?
Every time I get too full of myself singing AC-DC or Chris Cornell, I remember you having me sing "The Things We Did Last Summer" by Seth McFarlane. I have a list of songs I call my Foundation. It has every song you've point at that challenges placement, and I sing that list at least once every two weeks. It's like a touchstone. I'll add this one. Fantastic. Hotel California is still a fucker, but no longer makes me want to punch my microphone.
Working from falsetto is about the only way I can get warmed up without charging my chest voice into extreme dominance. If I keep it very light and start closing cords on falsetto can get a wide free vocal range. But I can load it up and choke in an instant with too much force.
Thank you for the vidoe and this is a bit unrelated but I'd love to see your reaction and analysis to a Japanese singer called "ado" she has many live performances, the latest one was "aishite aishite aishite" if u don't do reactions tho it's alright! Just a suggestion

Could you elaborate on that? How exactly does it "feel like you're making the space in you're sinuses small"? What do you do to achieve that?

kool shirt 🤘🏼
Speaking of shirts, when do the "Everybody shut up!" shirts come out? 😛😎
ha. Good stuff as always bro!
Soon! Working on it. 😊😊
fascinating
This is good stuff Sterling😊 I can find most of these voices but when I try Peter it's a no go, I can get Lois but no peter😂 🤘
One thing I have noticed is that F#4 is one of my strongest notes. Things get weird around G#4 and A4. I assume my break is G#4?
That on your Tshirt, thats THE BAND ImI
