you are funny. i love when she explains tension and says "oh no i should add tension" grunts.😂 best vocal coach and has a sense of humor.
I don't know how but you teach in a way that helps immediately. Thank you for existing. I know I speak for many other singers! Sending love and abundance to you
I like that you brought up the digrastic muscle. All the anatomy I know is finally paying off!
Thanks for the great video!
Its June 2024 and happy to have found this vocal workout; different and helpful; hope you are still out there.
You are seriously so great at vocal training, you are also very beautiful.
thanks for the help!!
How can anyone dislike this?
Mine tend to fight me as well, particularly if I'm already stressed or tired. Try vocalizing with the compression underneath the chin 3 times a week. (Demonstrated in this video.) Over time, much like a massage, the toxins that are trapped in the muscles causing them to strain will go away. Drink alot of water after to help the toxins flush.
I'm so afraid to do the meow because my neighbours might hear lol but you know what, Imma give it a go
Your vocal training tips have made me sound wonderful in no time. Thank you for all you've done
Excellent....and now I know the purpose behind the lip roll! Love your teaching! Thank you so much for your time in posting all these helpful videos for so many, Sophie! Bless you!
Wow..I was struggling myself by pushing my neck in high notes..And Now I know how to get rid of this..Thank youu

You are amazing...first vocal coach I've found on youtube...how lucky am I? You are fabulous! Thanks
Good luck on your singing journey, remember it should be fun!
Wow, thank you!
Thanks again, Sophie !
I love your lessons, they remind me of my former voice coach years ago, but better. Just found your videos again. I can't afford a coach, so I started back practicing in my car each day from work for 30 minutes for the past two months and what a difference in my range and control.
hey, how are your results now?
wow, I have been using these techniques for years. These types of vocal training is important for serious vocalists. I also notice that clearing my sinuses help with reaching the notes of my choice. Great information.

You remind me of Madeline Kahn ❤️ thank you very much for your lesson, will try!
Thin information is very beneficial !
So glad to help! Thanks for watching, and be sure to check out the Complete Vocal Primer CD. Website is in this video's description.

Hi Sophie,
just discovered you recently and love your videos! How long or how many of each of the tension buster exercises should I do for a vocal warm up? thanks! Christine
thanks
This one is funny. 😆
Hope it was also helpful!
Thanks for watching!
💛
The best vocal teacher by far....thank you for your lessons, I'll devote one song 4u...
Hey Sophie! Can you do a video of songs that are easy to sing but give a really good impression to people if you
Do it right? Thanks.
Hey there, don't worry I have a hard time with the trills to! And you may feel silly at first, just make sure you're alone. :) The lip roll is an excellent way to begin warming up because it relaxes the face muscles.You can also do the lip roll by simple sliding up and down a scale a few times, going a little higher each time.
Thanks for watching. Check out my website for more information on Skype lessons! The website can be found in this video's description.
how do you do the blowfish one without loosing any air? I keep making this tiny hole in my mouth but I still loose air
honestly that has been my biggest problem. for some reason, i think due to childhood stress, my digastric muscles are active most of the time and it causes a lot of annoyance and some pain even when im not singing. ill try these exercises, it seemed to help in just a few minutes.
New videos coming soon! Keep an eye out! In the mean time, if you have twitter, be sure to tune in this Friday at 3:30pm CST for a live Q&A session with me where I will be answering singing questions. Yu can follow the conversation and ask your own questions with the hashtag #FixMyVoice. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Sophie! First of all, I want to take you for sharing your knowledge with us. Secondly, I have a question concerning the exercises in this video. When do we practice them? Right before we sing to reduce the tension or do we do them at home at a regular basis for a long term reduction of tension? I thank you for your answer in advance.
Hi Chris, try holding down your throat muscles or "digastric muscles" while you vocalize. To find these, place both of your thumbs underneath your chin and swallow. When you vocalize, anytime you feel them tensing up, push up on them and fight back. You can also try vocalizing with your tongue sticking out to relieve tension in the back of your throat. Good luck!
Hi Sophie .... I am from INDIA ... A big Thanks to You for this relaxing exercise... Please guide me that when should this exercise be done. sbould it be used as a simple warm up exercise or should be after a session of practice.....aslo for how long it should be done
Try the tongue trill!
when I do this I still see neck veins pop out. what do you do with this?
Hi there, thanks for watching. For more tips about the diaphragm, also check out my video "The Diaphragm Rip-Off." And to build a mixed voice (which will allow you sing high while singing powerfully) try vocalizing 3 times a week with the exercises in my video "Fastest Way to Add Notes to your Vocal Range."
How many times a day and for long a period of time should I do this for as a boy? And if done properly, should yoy eventually be able to hit higher notes?
Hi Mario, great question. The answer is simple, if you run out of air quickly, it means that you're using (or spending) too much air. You need to focus on very clean, pouty sounds which will suction the vocal cords together a bit tighter, keeping the airflow to a minimum. There is an exercise for this on my video called Top 5 Questions About Singing. Good luck, and follow me on Twitter @SophieShear
Hey there, thanks for watching! Try easing up on the volume as you reach the higher notes, while maintaining a narrow shape of the mouth. Avoid "splatting" out your lips, or stretching them horizontally. Try vocalizing with my video "MIxed Voice Application." This will give you a good example of this.
If it's an exercises on a scale, only go as high (or as low) as you can go on the scale without feeling pain. How often you should do the exercise....it depends on the exercise. In the beginning I usually recommend 3-4 times a week.
How long should I do each exercise?
