Getting back into vocal shape - Part IV: Nasal Pant This is also a great getting back to basics/foundations I loved using in my studio this week at @peabodyinstitute The main focus is to get your air energize - and give it a pathway through your head resonance. THEN to really focus on whether you change that air energy as you begin to sing. For whatever reason (of many), most of us will shift f...

Technique Tuesday: Getting back into vocal shape. Part II: Back breath & Legato line It’s all about coming back to your foundations. EVERY inhale is a chance to reset, so find your calm resting breath and aim to breathe deeply into your back (a low, calming breath).

Technique Tuesday: What is “Somatic”?

Technique Tuesday: What even is “Somatic”? Definitely a buzz word these days, somatic really boils down to connection from the body to the mind AND is the name of a branch of your nervous system.

      As often as you like/find helpful in your practice! Breathing is always about balance in 360 degrees, but many of us skip the back - so if that's an area you need to explore more, this exercise is a great help any time.

    Hi. I hope you are well. I have sung with ear plugs a lot in the past and it improved everything dramatically. However upon removing the ear plugs my technique instantly reverts to strained and inefficient. I wonder if you might have suggestions as how to prevent this from happening please. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    • @ClaireGallowaySoprano
      @ClaireGallowaySoprano Місяць тому

      Great question - I would say, try a slow transition. Sing with your ear plugs and focus on the sensations. What is your support doing (check in with your ribs, the base of your sternum, your back, your collarbones, and even your low belly below your waistline/belt), then sing the same phrase with one ear plug and see if you can keep the *sensations* the same - try not to listen to your voice, listen to your body. As that starts to become more reliable, take the other earplug away and try cupping your hands in front of your ears and keep focusing on sensation over sound. Let me know!

    • @ClaireGallowaySoprano
      @ClaireGallowaySoprano 9 місяців тому

      Is it possible? Yes, but I would say incredibly unlikely *especially* if you are balancing it with back breathing and side rib expansion. The tricky thing about breath is we often get tunnel vision and focus on only one side of our 360 core/breath support capabilities.

    • @ClaireGallowaySoprano
      @ClaireGallowaySoprano 9 місяців тому
