This is my favorite vocal exercise. Doing it the second time around resolved my gargling problems in my middle range by 90 percent. Thank you so much Sir!
Using the guitar for this analogy is wonderful I have often heard instructors use those Russian dolls but I never really got it this is definitely something I will use good job profe🌹
This was game-changing information for me I never really thought of that simple analogy but some many problems seem to be fixable. I also try now not to think of reaching for the higher note but pick it up from above and it helps me generally not to go flat anymore, I had that idea about a week ago and it really helps. Thank you so much I have been working with you daily for about a year now and it's a part of my daily practice. Greetings Cedric
Bonjour i really like your lessons IS great Iam improving and singing a little better .You did an exercises while singing out if tune and that's exactly me 😀lol merci iîiî beaucoup thanks you.
The way you said “ah-scared” at 5:50 is so genuinely endearing. As a guitarist first and foremost, this analogy is super insightful. I have begun incorporating “S”s into my routines because of this fantastic insight. It allows you to vocally move within entire octaves with efficiency and precision . I find I have a lot of work to go with “H”s and generally *starting* notes with great clarity. So this “S” example is like a godsend because it helps me focus on the deeper problem of starting my notes strongly and on time, while also being fairly easy comparing to working out with those “H”s. That said, I will continue exercising with both of these sounds, on top of my regular routine. Merci beaucoup, Mr. B. Merci a million
Your instruction is clearly presented. By me commenting you are so smart doesn’t really describe the talent you have in teaching this material and using examples to create a deeper understanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your gift.
Superb. I don't struggle with pitches but the higher ones always feel like hard work. In a matter of seconds you have cured the problem. I can do it without strain. Thank you so much.
I still have to use a keyboard on my phone to make sure I'm on key...lol But I have noticed that the more I use your videos the better I get. THANK YOU!
Your lessons are really helping me in improving my singing.... Really appreciate your methods I just started singing a few months ago so I just wanted to know how much should I as a beginner vocalize each day ...Plzz
Maybe - but the best way to address it is to change the volume for a moment. Sing softer or louder to unlock the behavior you're stuck in and then return to the original volume.
I'm a relatively new older singer and tend to be ok on the higher end of my range but seem to be flat often in my middle range. I can't wait to try your suggestions at my next practice session where I have recording abilities. The odd thing is that I sometimes don't pick up my flatness until I hear the recording. I pick it up right away there. Thanks for this Mark. BTW, I keep using your EPIC warmup daily and love it. I'm going to try this the next time I do it.
@@voicelessondotcom I'm so psyched Mark. I went back and practiced this today then I went back and recorded my doing your EPIC workout. WOW!! what a difference in my pitch accuracy! Not perfect but I'm not going for perfect right now. I'm looking for "much better" and I got that. I'll keep getting better now that I have another tool. Thanks Mark.
I've been thinning out the voice but only when reaching very high notes, but not as going up in the scales wherever I am in the scale. Thanks! I've just realized that I scoop notes from under to reach those notes. Probably because I'm using too much muscle. Adding the "s" is the extra help to reach the note immediately instead of forcing the voice.
This is NEXT level stuff! Also, all those ties to the guitar were super awesome. Clear as day. Choking the instrument off. Excellent. I so greatly appreciate the true wisdom from the sage himself. The hand gestures were also incredibly helpful to synthesize the deep meaning here. Thanks so much Mark Baxter!!
Adding a little stream of air only works with the fricatives (s, z, th, f etc) but not with the plosives (t, d, b,p, k etc) because the sound is only made by having an "explosion" of air. Nice comparison with the guitar.
Yes, of course, my suggestion is to substitute an s fricative (not a pitched one like a z) to interrupt the vibration of the folds and stop the habit of sliding up to pitches dragging a heavy mass up with the move. It's just an exercise - not a strategy during a song.
Whenever I go for high notes my voice always cuts off and I’m trying to make it thinner but idk how. Any time a note gets too high for me, my voice just cuts off. Is that not in my range or do I just have bad coordination?
visualizing in order to implement new behaviors is one of the best and fastest ways to reprogram mind and body, combined with repetition... many many repetition of course !! your teachings are very intuitive and exteremely well vulgarised !! Bravo !!!
@@voicelessondotcom Hi - thanks for replying - I've been studying your tutorials for 3 months amongst others getting my voice back in shape for the studio vocal session soon. I want to thank you for posting these - your vids are the best! they are terrific!

I'm glad it helped!
that visual cue you give at 5:01
is what helped me.. wow ..weird.. how visual cues help... those things work ..thanks ..great teaching right there..
This just blew my mind. I feel like I just established a relationship with a part of my voice that I never even thought about before
Glad to help!
Whatttt? My voice problem is instantly gone. My intonation i s getting better. thank you for the philosophy. It's very helpful😍
Glad to help!
You are so amazing I never thought to explain it this way to someone off of a guitar

Je vous en prie!
Just what i need thank u.u talking strait through me blessing
This is helpful. I am often told about "pitch". I am still working out what that means! Peace.
Glad to help!

Great insights Bilbo! I'm glad to help.
Grateful to practice with you!!!! 🙏 Thank you
I'm happy to help!
Again and again and again, as soon as I have a question, there's one video of yours giving me the pitch perfect answer. Gratitude.
Glad to help!

Superb.

Awesome exercise, it almost right away fixed some areas in my upper range perfect thank you!

Welcome to my channel!
Great style of teaching 👌
Thanks - glad to help!
Your lessons are really helping me in improving my singing.... Really appreciate your methods
I just started singing a few months ago so I just wanted to know how much should I as a beginner vocalize each day ...Plzz
An hour a day is best - provided you can stay focused that long and don't feel vocal tired afterward.
@@voicelessondotcom thanx for the help 😊 means a lot.....
Thank you. Great explanation 🤗
I hope it helps!
higher notes: when we are singing a note and it will only slide to either side - is that phlegm in a particular sinus?
Maybe - but the best way to address it is to change the volume for a moment. Sing softer or louder to unlock the behavior you're stuck in and then return to the original volume.
@@voicelessondotcom that worked. very exciting to start opening the fog up high.
@@JaneSiberryOfficial Great!

The flatness is common there because the resonance wants to migrate. Allow it to and the pitch you're asking for is the pitch you'll get!

I can't answer those questions without hearing what you're doing - but I suspect it's bad coordination.
Brilliant.
I love you Mark!
Glad to help out!
This lesson “resonated” with me!
I see what you did there - I "notice" everything!
Love the guitar analogy! Great exercise. Thanks Mark!
