You're an excellent and animated teacher. Thanks for making these films :-) Hope I'll learn this.
Thank you for your lovely comment.
I watched this video twice for two reasons. Sarah is great. And this is the best explanation of this concept I've come across (and supportive!). I'm in the struggle currently.
I hope you are doing ok with this. Let me know if I can help you in any way with another video? 😀
Thank you sooo much!! This video is amazing! I've been struggling for a while with my throat as I've been signing mostly with constriction. Now that I start to practice retraction already my throat feels the difference! I cant thank you enough!
Thats brilliant. I'm so glad my lesson has helped you. :-)
What is so great about your teaching is you explain it short but clear then exercise then how to apply it to the song, just perfect. Most other just talk and talk, especially the older guys. Thanks.
I didn't get it at all :-) Im always surprised how easy it seems for most people. So many lessons which people help and I keep on straining and tightening in the throat...
It probably starts lower in your body. Scan your abs; are the tense? If so, then so are your tongue root and the muscles around your larynx. Aim for a sense of elasticity or stretch in your core, rather than a sense of tightness or control.
This was a life saver, told me where i was wrong, Thanks a ton!
Honestly thank u very much. This has solved the problem that has disturbed me for years. Thank u lady God bless you
Glad it helped!
worming up with Sarah... for our todays first offical appearance! yeah...
Sarah yr videos' are great
Finally, a way i understand it. So easy with the thumbs up! But i get it! Thanks a lot!
I really appreciate the sharing of these lessons. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much Sarah! I’ve been working my way through your videos and they’ve been such incredible gifts to me. 💕It’s frustrating to me, because you’re the first teacher I’m hearing these techniques from. 😫
Thank you so much Sarah! You helped me alot!
Really, really great explanation.
Wow this really helps!!
Thank you 😀
Great to find you Sarah. These videos have been great as a refresher to the Estil course techniques ;-)
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the advice i have been doing that a lot lately
I have this problem and I think this is a really interesting lesson, I don't fully understand how it works, it's sort of like magic but I think it's more of a mental thing for me it's a great thing to visualize. Thanks for a great video :) x
thank youuuuu
You're welcome!
Hello Mam ...Im learning Indian Classical Music and im from New Delhi (INDIA)....I thank you for this lesson and to demonstrate it with such a great sense ..actually I did not know about this technique ..it helped me to get bigger solid singing voice...thank you very much ...(Subscribed) :-)
Your a blessing! Thank You =]
This was quite useful. Thanks a lot! (Y)
YESS
widen E-W yes but not too deep in the throught and not with the vocal cords. That provocates bad tension
so do I
I just discovered your videos (I was looking for videos about twang) and... that's really GREAT!
I just have a question for you: Retraction and "open throat" concepts are they the same? It seems to be identical.
Thank you!

i just hardly fell in love with her!!it's crazy!
is it normal that as I open the sound I have a little vibrato? thans for your explanations!
falsetto and retraction are they feel same. I mean I have constriction problem is falsetto slides are more helpful.
I know what you mean. Yes they both have that open feeling in the throat and falsetto needs that retraction. :-)

Does it ache your throat when your first doing it or am I doing it wrong?
Hi, where does it ache and on which one the constriction or the retraction?
Hi Sarah! I have a huge problem with this, and I'm trying to retract and just feel nothing, can you describe the feeling/where it is in more detail?
It's more of a muscular feeling in the neck. The feeling when you start to yawn. Try flaring your nostrils as well. It just gives a bit more of an open feeling. It depend how retracted you are in your natural set up as to how big a change you may hear or feel I think too.
When i restrict, am i suppose tout je vocal frying? 😱
my larynx lowers when i retract?..
.
am i doing it right?
I Just can't tell the difference when I do it. It seems to me I am opening my mouth way to wide with no difference. Are Breathing through your diaphragm?
You didnt say anything
about the false vocal
cords they cause retraction as well.A good way to find retraction is to bear down as if your on the
toilet sounds daft but you get retraction.
Do you mean constriction. Bearing down will definitely help you feel constriction 👍
