Great advice man! Just to add, a lot of people tend to sing too big and strained because they thought they are doing 'open throat technique'. In reality open throat is just a sensation and is not something to be imposed, which is why this closed sound helps!
Excellent video! One of the very few UA-camrs that I've come across with multiple vids with 0 dislikes lol! I'm not even watching as a singer, but for voice acting. Everything you teach can be applied to just speaking with more power! Great stuff!
Hmm... this is something I'll have to try! I've been trying to get away from "using my throat" for singing and directing effort into the proper places!
Hey man "using my throat" for singing, is as vague as saying using my body to jump.. The vocal cords are located in the throat. In that sense, you are using a part of your throat in singing. What I'm saying here is that sound production and it manipulation starts further back and not in the facial muscles or tongue, jaw etc. A little concentration and shift of focus goes a long way, nothing too drastic, I hope this helps, thanks for your comment ;)
You're right! To be more clear - I had been straining my throat more than anything else to control my voice. I had been focusing on that instead of letting the other elements of my body do their part. I'm learning more and more how to use the right spots to do what they are meant to, vs just straining my throat for everything (and for that matter, using my throat how it's supposed to be used). Your videos have helped me in that way!

Yep, that's the idea, thanks for commenting :)
Great technique and explanation, I'll be using this in my practice, now I just have to go up in the attic and dig out my old ventriloquists doll!
Thank you for commenting! Be careful not to scare anyone on the way down :p
