- Hi singing geeks! In this video we are going to do some serious work to help you get good tongue position when singing. We are also going to investigate any tongue tension you might have when you sing. If you find that you experience tongue tension, this video also includes exercises to help you get rid of tongue tension. Once your tongue is free you can start having good tongue position when you sing.
that really hit me when she said to sing your favourite song and then started singing "Wake me up"....oh we miss you AVICII....😑
Even the coffin boys got emotional there
so i did the exercise where you hold your tongue several times and sing, and I did it and sung a high note WITH EASE. keep in mind I used to barely belt that note.
What part of the video does that exercise come?

I always noticed that little dip in the tongue whenever I watch live performances. Now I know to let it come over time. Thanks, Ranja.
That's so great to hear! Thanks for letting me know :)
Omg me 2 was thinking the same thimg
I’m practicing English as a second language... this practice really helps pronouncing lot of difficult vowels... thanks!!!!
Hi
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! My voice teacher was describing where to put my tongue and how it should be going out but I couldn't figure out the right position! This helped so much and now when I sing the high note in my song it bounces off the walls!!
Love your presentation style! I'm just an old geezer who loves to sing for myself and I've noticed through watching this video of Tony Bennett and Diana Krall singing 'Love is here to stay.' How relaxation allows for timing variation and creative delivery. I find this relaxation really helps. This pair delivery a wonderful version of the song. Do you agree?
Ma'am you are just awesome! Very detailed teaching! I'm your new student from India😁
This was a GREAT lesson I have to see what else you have posted. I've been teaching music for 35 years and I think my students will love hanging out on your site and learning things. Sometimes they listen to others better than the teacher! hahah I am a huge fan of RELAX and sing.
This is my favorite video to share with my students when talking about open space, tongue placement, and relaxed throat. You have the very best explanation and demonstration of this that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gifts with us!!
Wow, this did it for me! Well I'm not a great singer by any stretch, but I definitely notice a big improvement when I listen to myself with proper tongue position (no more kermit voice), and singing notes in my range is a whole bunch easier (actually it just feels easier to sing now, cool!).
Oh. Du er dansk☺️ Jeg syntes nok jeg kunne høre det. Og der står så Danmark i kanal-oplysningerne☺️ Tusind tak for videoerne☺️🌸♥️🙏🏻
I do a little tongue retraction on certain parts of songs on purpose. I love to add different styles into one song. It brings interest. Love the yawn excercise.
hello....i want talk something
As pianist who wants to sing, your videos are so useful. I realized that youre danish. Here in Argentina i have played with a danish bandoneonist. Stine is here name. Greetings from argentina!
I can't focus on your tips and suggetions because of your sweet voice speech......
Hello Mam! I'm so dissapointed that only today, did I discover your channel. I did try your excersice and just found out one of my major problems why I cant sing properly. (2 years of watching other video tutorial never did this topic came out.) Thankz a lot!
Accidentaly licked the eraser though.... Whaha.
Hi!!! This video and all of the videos you made about singing , It helped me a lot . Thank you so much for sharing this with us . I was trying to find how to improve my singing voice and everything and all of them wasnt helping me but this video helped me a lot . Thank you :)
New student from South Carolina!💜❤💗
You freaking rock! Thank you for making these!
Can you please make a video on singing OO and EE vowel on high notes.
And your videos are awesome and gamechanging for me.
This please!!! The hard vowels. Lol. Thaaanks!
Aeou
Found my favourite vocal coach ❤
All my life is I want to sing good I'm only 11 yer old I can improve my voice soon pls make more videos that may help us how to sing better
Awesome Video My friend 🙂
I just have a question for all future singers. With all these softwares(AI, autotune, and many others), Do they limit art or expand it?
Do any of you fear what music on the future is gonna be like?
Not being a grumpy old man about the future, just an observation on the fact that today we got too attached to our training wheels, and we not taking them off any time soon, I reckon.
I have both tongue retraction and tongue thrust. My tongue doesn't sit on top of my lower teeth but on my palate thought. As a result when I try to exercise keeping my tongue down and the tip of the tongue behind my teeth I end up with the back of my tongue raised and blocking all the space in my throat. Have you ever come across this problem? Any suggestions?
Tq so much yours video's are helping a lot,🥺❤❤
I have very bad tongue retraction and I have so deep voice, much deep than a girl should have, this makes me sooo insecure of my voice because every one point it out =(, definitely going to try your exercises.
Thanks for this ... 😍
I was able to feel the tension
Normal training should take at least how many minutes?
Mam the problem from which I suffer is when I sing without mike , the song seems to be very melodious but when I take the mike and sing then the voice seems to come out through nose
Mam what should I do for it?
Please reply
I know it works but my brain dosn't want to do it TwT
Definitely tension when I did the Kermit voice
SUPPER MOVIES THANK YOU
thank You for these lovely tips, really good.
thank you Ronja
You are very welcome Santos Rai :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you so so much!
Putting the tongue behind my teeth never works. I can still retract it while singing, creating tension. But if I try to imagine putting a pencil under my tongue then curling my tongue over it and behind my teeth while singing it seems to help pull the tongue out of the back of the throat.
You are amazing you help alot😍
I love how the theme is just like Glee lol
Please make a video about how to develop vibrato
You're so right! But you have naughty eyes.. awesome!
I could say that without moving my tongue, perfectly lol
I wanna know how do you curved your tongue at middle?
I can sing but how do you get your tougn to stay still
7:00
While singing under the chin that should always be relaxed... ???
Yes, exactly😊
Wowowowowowo what the heck wowowowo this works wowowowo
1:26 who was watching this part in lockdown from the corona virus and is like NUH UH
me
😂😂
lol
you stole my commment brooooooo noooo LMAOOO
Right here mehhn
I've been struggling with my larynx going down and going up for 10 months now. It makes me uncomfortable. Now I know why and it's because of tounge tension. I've been watching several videos, several vocal coach teachers but you're the one that makes my mind enlightened. Thank you for this wonderful video. You're the best❤
Hi Dale Harvey Wania, not sure how I missed this sweet comment. Sorry for my late reply. I'm so happy to hear that the video helped you :)
Tongue
Maybe it's your tongue posture look up Mewing ruclips.net/video/MR9k1CjFzyY/видео.html
@@Sariine436 Isn't mewing bad for singers?
Are you in an elevator, perhaps?
2:10 looks like that one randomized sim.
🥵😭💙
Facts
"When you yawn....." Dang it, I did yawn!
Hahah That always happens to me too :)
I yawned reading that haha
When I was reading this comment I yawned 😨
@@simpery253 same..
I literally yawn while reading this lol
My daughter is trying to learn breathing positions how to breath when singing
How is her singing doing?
I felt like my throat was straining, had no idea that my tongue placement was the cause of it thank you soo much for making these videos
since i was a little girl everytime I would sing i would naturally yawn..
Just yawned then
Your comment made me yawn
Heard someone say to be sure to enunciate each individual word in order to make them more clear. It makes my voice more relaxed and flow more naturally. Changed everything. This video just took it to another level. Just under a year before my first live show. Definitely following.
how to ignore the feeling of awkwardness when we sing?
Start by recording yourself and forcing yourself to listen to your singing. Be comfortable with what you sound like
this is more like a personality thing to work on
Just think you are alone
have fun pose like a rockstar be 'someone else' when you perform/practice, but work at it serious and study what you are doing and you'll notice the results within months. Awkwardness fades when you start sounding better.
@@brendanoneil3489 right 🤍
the back of my tongue feels like it's clogging my throat whenever i sing (but especially in my head voice) ive practced raising my soft pallette but my tongue goes up too. I just feel like my tone quality and volume would increase if my tongue could just MOVE OUT OF THE WAY but i can't control it.
i can relate
😨 Wow! You don’t know how much this helped me, thank you x100 🙏🏽 I could never figure out how to stop sounding so nasally, keeping my tongue flat and raising my soft pallet is a little difficult for my brain to remember right now , but I know it’ll get easier over time
I was the exact same
I loveeeee your video’s! I have been watching singing lessons for several years, but yours are the best! They are so clear and easy to understand! Thank you so so much!!! ❤️
Same here 👊👊
This is an excellent and informative lesson, with GREAT practical exercises! I want to mention here that tongue position is a VERY hard diagnostic for a singer to make for themselves. Doing these exercises will cause no harm to anyone... but it would be good to have a live voice lesson (once the planet is able to do those again) and have a teacher diagnose what issues might be happening. Then use this video and these exercises to address the issues. As the young lady says, it's a fine line between too far out and too far in, and relaxation of the tongue works in conjunction with a whole apparatus of other muscles (larnyx, diaphragm, jaw, neck, soft palatte). I love your videos and have added you to the list I give to students for further self-guided vocal progress...
6:56 Tongue Retraction Exercises
why do her character makes me feel relaaaaax ? cuz she`s honest and spontaneous .
Wow. You are the only one that helped me with my singing.. That retracted tounge was my issue and you helped me a llot
Hey this helped me get rid of the bumps in my voice when singing
Hi OverDrive, I'm so happy to hear. Thank you for sharing your success :)
@@singgeek hey I'm noticing vibration in my voice is that a good thing
OverDrive depends on what you mean when you say vibration. do you mean shakiness (as in your voice shakes) or more of a vibrato like sound (consistent and controlled).
@@alaa.mp3 it felt shaky and raspy at the same time I don't have that problem anymore
OverDrive glad you dont have that anymore but just incase what helped me is strengthening my voice it makes it less shaky
There's another kind of exercises I found useful: raspberry sounds, tongue trills, stretching the mouth and tongue, tongue twisters (the 'red leather yellow leather' kind). Perhaps the fact that they look so silly stops us from doing them more often, but they do help.
Use a clean chopstick instead of a pencil to hold your tongue. Otherwise, awesome. Thank you!❤
I didn't know the tongue was konneckted to the larnx. But yes my tongue seems to curl upin the center towards the roof but I feel it sounds nasal. I have damage though so it is not just bekause newbie.
its INSANE how big of a difference there is!! this video was incredibly helpful and has changed my voice for the better!! thank you so much
I love your teaching styles. So clear! Thank you so much. I am 56 years old and singing was my newfound passion. 2 years ago when daughter quit vocal lesson after 2 sessions and had to pick up the lessons left coz they’ve been paid. From there have been watching videos for techniques. Thank you so much. You are an amazing teacher.
Excellent video. I was most certainly not doing it right all along, and this is what sorted me out. I was getting exhausted when talking, but could sing fine, this made me understand why.
Something tripping me up, is that i tend to pull the back of my tongue up during a yawn. It's hard to not do that, and it's and when trying to open that back of my mouth especially, the tongue want's to move up too. I don't think i always did it this way, but it's something I've gotten in the habit of when i get these violent-yawns set in when i get tired.
I was trying it until she said this..
4:34
Man i got goosebumps😶
1:24 this part help and the face u made after the finger thing was really cute XDD thanks for the tutorials :D
up until I watched this video, all the other sources of coaches have said a forward /neutral/ not retracted tongue is good. You're saying only neutral is good. That's a bit contradictory.
Hi!! Can tongue tension cause muscle pain in your throat because it is connected to those muscles?
Thank you so much 🥰
Amaziiing! The roof of my mouth is always painful when I try to sing a lot of songs with high notes. I just need to relax my tongue behind my lower teeth and I think it helped! 🤩
Hi Danilyn Alcones, I'm so happy to hear that it helped! Thanks for sharing :)
People told me that I need to yawn to lift my soft palate but if i do that will it stay lifted while I sing
Wow, this Video is really helpful for me!!! I could feel the difference in my singing immediately!
Here is a tip.
Do not try to sing at the same time as you are eating a bacon sandwich.
If you have trouble with the tongue on the soft palate, study Mandarin. It has four different sounds in which the tongue goes up to the soft palate. In fact, one of the problems of learning Mandarin to English or English to Mandarin is that each language uses the tongue differently. It's fun teaching either language because you are confronted with changing so many ingrained habits of our languages. There is really no word "word" in Chinese and the underlying difference hear causes a great deal of confusion for speakers of either language.
I love this and all of your videos and especially the fact that you said that maybe we are also doing it right ! sometimes we are so stressed on getting better, and limiting tension, that its hard to know what is actually causing it in the first place
I yawned too much I cried
Should the tongue be touching the back of your teeth or be on top of them? And thanks for the video, very helpful !
Hi Sammy, Thanks for your question. The tongue should be touching the back of your bottom front teeth :)
Singgeek thanks so much!!!
4:32 I literally tried doing that and said sorry 🤣🤣
AMRY?
You definatley are a geek. Great topics you hit in the last two videos i watched. No one else talks about those things. I wonder how youtube chose teachers of all this random crap. Although, You made a great delivery in this topic. Lol.
Thanks
You're amazing seriously you deserve a lot more subs💖
Holy sht i thought I was losing my low chest voice it was just because of the tongue tension Thank You Singgeek!!!!
4:40
where has she been all my life
Mam, Does mewing affect the singing in any way....? Please reply ....
Hey brother, I was also interested in the same question?
Helped me alot. I tried to find my problem because i strain my voice everytime and never found a solution. But with the exercises it is alot better.
thank you a lot for this ...I have many problems with this and you just gave me a lot to work . this is very effectivet! thanks:) i just add 4 halftones to my range during practice! omg!!!
In classical singing the tip of the tongue should NOT be fixed in front and held flat. Especially in the higher register retracting the tip and keeping the tongue and arched. A flat tongue presses on the larynx. A grove in the tongue is a tension.
Thank you! You are an amazing teacher! :)
Hi Henry Chung, Thank you so much :)
I’m really loving your teaching style,you’re charming with a professional approach
It's very difficult to hold the tongue while singing 😜😜😜😜
Whenever i sing my tongue produce saliva😂
Dang, this is kinda hard for me. I've been mewing for a few months now and my tongue just automatically resting in the roof of my mouth. Also, my mouth is kinda long and wide especially in the back part. And it's really hard to sing cuz my tongue just kinda roll and get tense that my tongue gets tired after singing. How can I fix this? 😭😭
Okay fellow Singgeek fans, let’s pay attention to how to spell tongue. T O N G U E. Seriously. Thank you.
The frog was very convincing!
After this I feel more confident about my singing
I'm so happy to hear. Keep up the good work on your voice :)
I was out cleaning my Pig’s stalls before doing the exercise at 8:00 min mark and totally forgot to wash my hands before.
