  • @MultiBadboy666
    @MultiBadboy666 10 місяців тому +5

    Oh, I think I finally get it now. So when we sing a phrase, the support muscles kind of dip, flex, and relax constantly to push the air upwards. I used to just constantly push air upwards without using those muscles like this; basically, I just locked them in place without those dips and blew a continuous stream of air always. It sounds much better and feels more natural like this. Thanks a lot.

Im not doing songs not doing words for the next good while, focusing only on developing proper diaphragmatic support. .. in about a month or two I’ll put up a before and after… That’s how confident I am with how much better it’s sounding.

    Chris, I just found you several days ago. What a treasure it has been. In one of your videos, you advised against tilting your head up or down. But did you not tilt your head up in the beginning demo in this video? Was the mike placed too high?
    Please clarify for this newbie.

    • @chrisliepe
      @chrisliepe  4 роки тому +26

      tilting your head to reach a pitch is a no no for sure. tilting to reach a mic, still probably not a great idea, but if it doesn't cause any tension... all good :)

    Dude - It's possible you've just changed my life by watching not even five minutes of your video. There's something about the way you imparted this info that just changed everything about the way I sing.
    I'm totally going to finish this vid and watch loads more of yours, but I've been busy preparing for a show I just had this past weekend. Usually after a 30 minute set, I'm fried and have burtn the top (and almost all) of my voice. Even though I came down with a cold on the day of my gig, I still got through the set and had barely hurt my voice at all. I was hitting higher notes I usually strain for after a couple of songs, right the way to the end of my set and was told by someone I trust that it's the best she's ever heard me sing.
    Usually, if I read what I've just written on a website, I'd completely dismiss it as a fake advert, but dude... THANK YOU. Can't wait to learn more.

    Just felt obligated to comment. After finding the right feeling to engage the lower abs, it feels like the air flows effortlessly and much more rich. The difference in singing a song I was already comfortable was unbelievable. Another songs are not that easy to make this transition, maybe because my brain is already used to the wrong way. Now the objective is to relearn how to talk and sing to always engage like this hahahaha. Chris Liepe, you are amazing!

    The way i understood how it's supposed to feel when I have the best support is to sing a scale up and down while doing a sit up and try to maintain the same volume on the way up and down. Once you get the feeling, it's not difficult. It's so important to know what the diaphragm is and how it operates.

    I got a hang of diaphragm breathing but there was much more to it. I got a coach and I started leaning into the sound and feeling it. Believe me I felt it when I did. I just figured out where it was coming from and man... I just started laughing my ass off. You have to maintain focus there, but you know what that spot actual is in esoteric terms? It's Kundalini energy. I did meditations focusing on that. The energy literally rises naturally. I wish you all the best Chris. The right spot is no where near the voice. In fact the total opposite.
