oh my god just a simple massage transformed my voice, what on earth? thankyou!!! :)
Your videos have been so helpful to me over the last couple years dealing with TMJ developing after wearing ill-fitting headphones for audio editing for too many hours on end. At one point it all got so bad that my voice would give out after attempting to record one 2 minute script. I've been to local dentist/doctor/therapy professionals for help but your self-massage videos are a big part of what gets me through the tension and tough times. You have a calming voice I also appreciate. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm so glad my videos have been helpful! It seems this particular video is specific to you. I used to sing, so I know how stressful it is to run into jaw and vocal problems. Thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing you the best!
This feels WONDERFUL! Thank you so much!
You did it again! This is amazing!
This video is such a lifesaver!! I couldn't imagine my vocal warm-up routine without these facial massages now. I've been able to hit high notes and maintain stamina during shows more than I ever thought possible. Thank you so so much, your work is incredible!!
That is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing :)
oh man im surprised just at how well this worked, thx :D!
This actually helped me a lot. I felt a lot less tension while singing! Thank you for this, I subscribed! :)
Amazing, Rachel, many thanks.... because I only started to sing at the age of 58 I have a lot of very tense points that impair my singing! Will be back..... thanks once again! I hope soon I will get rid of my tensions!
Awesome... It is just so calming... Thanks for this... I'm gonna try it everyday
Hey, I do music too! I’m trying to become the greatest of all time! Vibrating and dancing, “insert the beat.” You know my @
Thank you Rachel! I love all your videos. You have such a nice, soothing voice. Best wishes from Denmark
Thanks so much! Best wishes back to you from New York :)
Wow, Rachel! That really helped a lot! I feel much better. See, I sing and so it is very important to have a loose and relaxed body. This helped me so much and felt A-MAZ-ING!! Thank you so much, Rachel! I can't thank you enough! Much love to you! - Brandon
Thank you this is so relaxing!
Wonderful!
Hello Rachel, I did this one to begin my day, it felt great to start with some self love and care. Have a beautiful day your way, peace to you 🙏.
Super!
Good for interpreters too! :)
Love this video! I get migraines with and without Aura. I was amazed at how many painful pressure points there were behind my ears. I get Botox shots to relieve some of my migraines but others like the Hemiplegic ones are not affected. I can’t wait to tell my Neurologist about the points behind the ears that are Not being reached. This was a Good find! It was like finding land mines that go off and I wasn’t Aware where the Triggers were. Thank you so much for your commitment to keep people healthy!
Glad I could offer something new and helpful! Thanks for letting me know :)
Fantastic thanks heaps
Glad it helps!
I love it.
Felt immediate relieve
I HV been facing reflux issues
So glad it was helpful!
Very helpful, thank you! I have been doing myofascial release work on myself but did not know what to do with the tension in my neck, jaw, throat, head. This is extremely helpful, I’m so grateful to you. 🙏🏼💕
So glad it's helpful, Jen!
Love your videos! Would love to see one for the face if you have any ideas for that! Thanks
Great idea - thank you so much! It's on my list :)
Thank you! I've been a singer for about 25 years. Lately I've been concerned because I notice my mouth just feels different when I perform. I find myself manipulating my mount in ways I've never had to do before to reach a note or go from one pitch to another. It's become somewhat worrisome. Something made me think of facial massage for singers, and I found you. Just having done this video once, I feel a big difference in the range of movement of my jaw,. Of course I tried singing, and it does feel much more open and flexible. Looking forward to seeing how it helps with repeated use. Thanks again.
How it goes ?
I'm giving this a go because I lost my voice 4 days ago with a viral cough/sore throat thing. I can only whisper! Hoping this might help speed along recovery - fingers crossed! You really do have a massage for just about every situation - love it!
Let me know how it goes!
Hi mam , I'm from India and want to be a Hollywood singer and I'm just 16 years old (boy )and I love your videos
Is there any tip that how to enter this field plz . Thanks
Plz reply?
Hi! I haven't been in the field for well over a decade, so I'm probably not your best resource. You'll need a few things to get started - a professional headshot, resume, demo, agent, voice coach, to name a few. I suggest you get some books on the topic, and speak to successful singers. Meet up with any performers you know and ask them about their careers.
@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 thanks for replying mam
It was useful
🙌
are the lovely candles in background real?
Hi Rachael,
i have a voice sounding, sounding as MTS, that alone adds too many other tensions , Rachael this feels good and of course feeling some relief.
The worst for me right know is my upper back, shoulders, ribs-chest
could you share a link or a recommendation , would you be able too, if i shared the cycle of tensions that i have or would that just be a "shot in the dark."?
I'm glad it helps! I'm not sure what it is you are experiencing, but I have massage videos for all the areas you listed. You can browse by playlist.
the back of my shoulders hurts alot , the root of the chest, waist , shoulder, i can't get to the source, instead of the massage way of only treating the enoying symtoms.They help, but?
Thanks Rachel for posing this! I have too much fat on my neck to get to my mastoid muscle. It's easy for you because you're thin. What do you do for students who can't reach that muscle? I do Tai Chi that stretches that muscle. Another stretch I do is grabbing the top of my head and pulling it sideways which stretches that opposite side. Are those type of exercises just as good as the exercises you use? Thanks for posting this very good means of therapy. My main problem is I don't talk for long periods, even a couple of days sometimes, so when I answer the phone my voice is all laryngitis sounding, but that's not the case, just me not talking for a long time. Sometimes too when I'm singing my voice goes out completely and I get just a rush of air. What causes that?
Thank you for sharing. The mastoid process is not a muscle, but a bony protrusion behind the ear that serves as an attachment site for muscles. It is usually prominent and easy to palpate. To answer your second question, the rush of air may be a sign of vocal cord fatigue. The vocal cords need to be able to vibrate and touch together to produce sound. There are many reasons why this mechanism might fail, including fatigue, vocal paralysis, inflammation, growths, nerve problems, and thyroid dysfunction. I recommend seeing an ENT to find out why your voice goes out.
@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 Hi Rachel! I meant the muscle that you were massaging from the mastoid down your neck. I just called it the mastoid muscle. But very nice of you to create this video, thanks!
@@mwj5368 Ah, I see. You're probably talking about SCM. Yes, stretching is a great way to get at the muscle if you can't palpate directly. You can also massage the attachment right under the mastoid process.
Can u make massage for panic attacks☹☹
Thank you for the suggestion - I will put it on my list! In the meantime, try this one: ua-cam.com/video/KL4Yeus6EJY/v-deo.html
Hello mam please notice my comment....i always loose my voice every weak . Is this normal
You shouldn't be losing your voice unless you abuse it with poor technique or screaming and yelling, or if you are ill. I would suggest seeing an ENT.
