    The thing about this is that it's an easy concept to grasp, but getting the layrnx to actually stay down consistently while singing is such a difficult thing. Pavarotti once said "it will take 10 years to make a sound like that" and I completely agree. I've been studying classical singing for many years and my technique is still not where I need it to be. But, we always work towards being better!

      We were blessed with an incredible voice teacher who got some of us there within a few short years, my brother and some friends and I. I also speak with a lower larynx, being a bass. And yet, when I don't practice singing that way enough, I still fight it just a little bit. Especially on those higher notes before falsetto. And yet, there is still that place that you learn to go to make such sound. It takes consistent effort over time to maintain such a place. It requires consistency in conditioning.

      That's because English is not a language from a distant galaxy, just a western European language profoundly impacted and shaped by Latin, too. The thing is that those who speak English alone are, as a general rule, so deeply ignorant of whatever else exists in the realm of languages and so unable to grasp the idea of communication in spite of imperfections that they are awestruck at something like this video here.
      And before the chimps come in hating and attacking, I am a professor of language, a professionally trained teacher of English and two other languages.

    He's talking about literally a low larynx position. It's not something you can teach in one masterclass, takes years. But that's what he's describing. It's not fully possible in extreme range, particularly high, to keep a completely low larynx all the way throughout the entire range, but it's a goal.

      Yes. Keeping the larynx in its naturally lowered resting position at all times as much as possible.

      @smurf902 It sounds like you are saying that Pavarotti is wrong. first of all, how much more extreme in range can one get? Pavarotti explored the full extension of the tenor range. Pavarotti is saying in so many words, "I, I, I needed to keep my larynx down in order to sing high C's and high D's."
      No?

      Most women can't sing extremely high notes (D6 and up) with a lowered larynx. Tetrazzini could because she was trained and an actual coloratura soprano. I can however, with a painfully high larynx 'sing' to maybe an E6. Just because it's possible for a voice to reach these extreme pitches doesn't mean that it's meant to.

      @@Artiej0hn0he’s probably not saying that. His larynx will most probably rise for high Cs and Ds; *however* it may still be “lower”; think of it more as a continuum, rather than a fixed position. There will have to be some movement in larynx height as pitch ascends however you can still get a lower larynx height on each pitch - but your “low larynx” for a C5 may be in a different place than your “low larynx” for a C3.

      Keep the floating ribs area expanded like when you are inhaling but do this while singing or exhaling. So you have inhaling and exhaling muscles working at the same time.

      Deep breathing in your diaphragm. Try this: push all air out of your lungs, really squeeze all air out. See how tight and closed your throat is. Doing the opposite of this, deep breathing in the lower diaphragm opens the throat and pulls the larynx down.

    I don't agree with Pavarotti here, because the singer (the tenor, usually) will be focusing on forcing the larynx to a low position and end up sounding like a bass when in the middle voice. Franco Corelli said it best. He changed from the "low larynx" to the "floating larynx" position so it became natural. In other words, rather neutral.

    • @carlosesturain3831
      @carlosesturain3831 Місяць тому +2

      Yes, Corelli never "lowered" his larynx. He kept it from moving up from tension.

      It’s awesome that you’re exploring your voice in the choir as an Alto 1/Soprano 2! The idea of keeping a low larynx isn’t just for tenors like Pavarotti, it can help anyone find a more resonant and relaxed sound, no matter your range. Keep experimenting with it, you might be surprised by how much it can enhance your singing!

    • @geminikid1617

      Has nothing to do with vocal fach or choral voice type. Luisa Tetrazzini (Coloratura Soprano) was able to achieve this same idea & she was 1 of the most brilliant voices in recorded history. Literally any voice type can achieve this thru correct training. Not sure why you thought that b/c you were Alto 1/Soprano 2 that you couldn’t do it. Was it b/c some 1 said that, or did you just believe it since it happened to be Pavarotti, a Tenor?
