🤣looove the Gianluca T. Imitation!! Besides that, you nail 100% the real Belcanto technique. I could't agree more to your method. Just like Jack Livigni and Gianluca Terranova the best way to sing healthy and beautiful. You are a great teacher but certainly a wonderful Opera singer! All the best for you!!
The main reason of laryngeal tension is improper vocal chord closure. Often times singers substitute laryngeal singing for chord closure. The vocal chords make the sound. And closing them properly is what creates the easiest, clearest, healthy tone. This teacher has the best technique I've ever seen in practice on RUclips
I sing musical theater tenor and my wife would tell me I was squeezing my top notes. The yawn exercise has helped me free my high notes and stop raising my larynx so high.
Right on! Except it is a little over simplification, it took me 20 years to master this, and that is no exaggeration. If someone can master this right away by listening to this video I would like to hear them. Sometimes too much concentration on opening the throat can have the opposite effect. I think more of the open chest, abdominal support and throwing off the voice like a salesman's call - vóce de ventetúre.
@VIDEOHEREBOB Please don't focus too much on your vibrato. The vibrato is a consequence of a free larynx riding on the air from an optimal and even diaphragmatic pressure. If you start to focus on it, you might start doing artificial things to your voice. I'd suggest plugging up your ears and doing your exercises ONLY focusing on the feeling of the "appoggio" (the leaning of the air) in the open space in your throat. Also make sure that your jaw is relaxed. Some put their vibrato in their jaw. That's no bueno. Happy exercising - hope it made sense. 🎶
BelCanto is the way to stress-free, relaxed singing. this allows you to sing for several hours a day without tiring or hoarseness. Do you teach in Germany? Greetings Michael
You're fantastic! The concepts are simple but there is so much confusion in the singing world. "Cord closure" in a wide throat space and support! Bravo! Love your imitation of GT! LOL!
Hi, thanks for your great videos. I am a first tenor and sing for a long time. Every good teacher, like you speak of the low larynx, but no one explains how you keep it low if you go really high because the vocal cords inside get longer if you go higher so they pull the larynx up. I have two aria's which are for me difficult, un aura amorosa which is in the passagio range all the time and di rigori armato with it's high tessitura, especially going from b flat to b sharp. The larynx really goes up
jajajajaja!!!! muchas gracias. Fantástico como siempre. El consejo final, jajajajaja no paré de reir... ironía? jajajaja. Ya en serio, muchas gracias, SUAVIDAD en el ataque ante todo.
Thank you maestro I definitely agree on the fixing larynx position but how do you keep the sound from coming out too dark ? I am just curious how you overcame this challenge.
Thank you so much for this Video!!! I studied musical theatre and am now trying to learn more opera technique. My singing teacher has been telling me to have a low larynx and at one point I felt it was too low and constrained. I could not hit my high notes freely. I asked them, if it is possible, that my larynx was TOO low. They said, and I quote " it can never be too low". But apparently my gut feeling was right. I should not be singing in a yawn-like position. Again, thank you very much!
Larynx should be low but more importantly free, and flexible. Not compressed. Sing in the yawn position is necessary but it shouldn’t be in a comfortable position. If right now the low larynx feels compressed then it probably is, rise it slightly until it feels more relaxed. Gradually work on this strength and coordination until you can maintain the yawn position with a low larynx but it’s comfortable and free. Sometimes just speaking in the yawn position in a relaxed manner every day can help build that coordination 👍.
I use the technique, with larynge always relaxed the more I can always relaxed, with apoyo and contract abdomen and always larynge relaxed but after hours my larynge was really tired. Why it was tired if I use all technique.
Weird question. How would you go about feminizing your voice as a tenor? Or is that not possible? I just don’t like the fact that it sounds so masculine when I sing
Amazing video . And what for people who keep the low larynx but flip into falsetto how can can I stay connected without pushing or be in counter tenor mode 😅 thank you so much
This is a muscle and coordination training. If you’re forced to switch to falsetto (which btw not a bad thing for a developing voice atm) while trying to keep a low larynx then perhaps the larynx is actually too low. I would say raise your larynx slightly then, nothing wrong with that like so many people say. Raise it little by little until it feels comfortable for you and you can find that connection to the chest again through your range. BUT keep that connection thin, maintain that feeling and sensation of falsetto, you need that through the voice especially the top. It’ll keep it light and gentle as you continue to develop the sound and it’ll grow bigger and bigger with time but will never feel weighty, or forced. It should feel falsetto like…just connected. Then you can work on lowering the larynx more and more with time.
@@Tenor_Simerilla thank you for your generosity! I use to be a counter tenor I guess I took very very bad habits... Cause counter tenor has the tendancy to sing throaty and artificially enlarged their voice to imitate female mezzos hahaha it is hard to find the so called mixed voice then 😁 if you come to Paris someday I'd love to take lessons with you if possible!
Awesome. Is there any way to lower the natural resting position of the larynx, or is the natural resting position of your larynx more or less fixed? I sing more pop/rock-oriented stuff, but I prefer the dark sound of the low larynx to my naturally lyric/boyish tone. It definitely does get fatiguing holding that position throughout a performance/recording lol. Anyways, great content.
If you have good control of the movement of your larynx both up and down at will then at best you will be able to position your larynx correctly in order to best create the sound that you want to make. Ideally for an open free sound we want to keep it low, and as you build the habit of maintaining the larynx in a low position but NOT compressed, so it is still comfortable and flexible and doesn’t cause fatigue, then you will obtain the coordination and strength to sing with an open throat for the full extent of your range. However, changing the natural resting point of your larynx. As far as I know…Simply put…no. Unless the person has a speech impediment in which they force their larynx high, like they’re swallowing, every-time they speak and therefore can be treated with practice and relaxation to lower their larynx back to their natural resting point. But other than that we get the voice we are born with. Our natural speaking voice emulates the natural resting point of our larynx, some are lower than others, some are higher than others. That’s what makes each individuals voice special and unique. 👍
Hello, my name is Cale Guillory, and I have been taking voice lessons for twelve years. I’ve been told that the larynx should remain stable. However, since I have been inspired to combine various genres and styles of music, I had the idea of demonstrating the inspiration by rapidly moving through the cycle of different larynx positions but in a way that keeps the larynx stable while moving the cartilage rapidly. Is this possible?
C4 should be the first point you start preparing the yawn position (head voice). But it’s still mostly chest there so it’s very little, (Chest: 90% Head: 10%) but as you ascend from there to the Passaggio E4, F4, still open as a tenor but definitely start adding more head voice and opening the throat with the yawn. (Chest %60 Head: 40%) F#4 half covered, and G4 fully covered (chest 50% head 50%) The points of cover are of course for a lyric tenor voice I don’t know what fach you may be. And the percentage may not mean anything to you but I am hoping they serve at least as a visual aid in sensation. 👍
Grazie Jose per questi preziosi suggerimenti. Ho 58 anni e studio canto lirico per passione da tre anni con la mia maestra di canto che è un soprano. Raggiungo il sib con difficoltà e vorrei poterti fare sentire la mia voce, probabilmente faccio qualche errore. È possibile inviarti una @? Grazie. Lavorare muscolare!

Beautiful vibrato. I am always working on getting it even.

It's Belcanto, not laud canto!! I love that 😆
I also like "it's bel canto, not can belt-o"
Such a great and knowledgeable instructor.
Thank you
VERY SUCCESSFUL
That was amazing! Helped me a lot to relax my throat and I could teach my highest notes without struggling. Tks!!

I always always struggle to keep it down. NO TEACHER I've had could address this
I am Romero too. Name from Spain/Portugal. Congrats.

Sir my chest range is d2-G4
And i start feeling strain from f#4
Where should i start applying mixing from
C4 should be the first point you start preparing the yawn position (head voice). But it’s still mostly chest there so it’s very little, (Chest: 90% Head: 10%)
but as you ascend from there to the Passaggio E4, F4, still open as a tenor but definitely start adding more head voice and opening the throat with the yawn. (Chest %60 Head: 40%)
F#4 half covered, and G4 fully covered (chest 50% head 50%)
The points of cover are of course for a lyric tenor voice I don’t know what fach you may be. And the percentage may not mean anything to you but I am hoping they serve at least as a visual aid in sensation. 👍
Thank you sir
