    This helped a ton! Thank you so much! My breathy voice is mainly due to lack of energy. I think because I worry about the neighbours, I try to sing quietly and then I end up breathy. I tried singing with more energy and ignore what neighbours think and my voice sounded much better and it was much more comfortable to sing, my throat didn't hurt and I found I could follow the rhythm and pitch of the song more naturally. Still need a lot of work but this is step forward.

  • @Paige-nx4wx
    @Paige-nx4wx 9 місяців тому

    Really enjoyed this video! I had just previously commented on having this problem as a younger person and your talk.added some insight.
    In my case think the causes were lack of physical energy and trouble accessing the needed abdominal support for my breath. At the time, as an adolescent i was experiencing a lot of anxiety and upper chest breathinging was my typical breathing pattern throughout the day, contributing to anxiety attacks. Later, I ultimately mastered my anxiety by mastering my breath and learning to breathe normally - as in abdominal breathing becoming my normal breathing pattern as is healthy. Made all the difference in the world. I don't think I'm a breathy singer anymore, though I can do it by choice. But I'm fascinated by the relationship between the voice and the emotions and I have the sense that vocal training and learning how to properly use the breath can have benefits beyond improving singing and speaking.

  • @kralvltavin9173

    I was confusing "closure" with "straining". So not wanting to "strain" I relax the vocal fold and go breathy. But after you've explained that conscious chricothyroid muscle use is the key, it fixed instantly.

    yes, energy is a major factor, and breath control of the sound coming out of the balloon end, uinder the control of the holder rather than letting it go out on its own... the voice IS A REAL EXERCISE ON THE CORDS IF YOU ARE SINGING, not if talking - according to the MAYO CLINIC, who gave a clinic to our singing community... yes, keep singing into the last years to keep from having the geriatric voice

    • @Victoria-Victorious
      @Victoria-Victorious  3 роки тому +11

      Of course! I discuss breathy singing as a stylistic CHOICE in the video, but not as one's default. This means not singing breathy 100% of the time, which IS drying to the vocal folds and can create further problems. A lot of singers have unwanted breathiness because they have not learned ho to close the vocal folds efficiently.
