Ah so thats what that means! I kept hearing people say that on tiktok and I never understood what that mean. I mainly do a lot of vocal exercises because I find lessons terrifying (im really sensitive so one critique from a teacher would cause me to literally cry). So these videos are really helpful!
@@singgeekdo you have video of you backstage after concert chest heaving mouth breathing in exhaustion and slowing breathing down back to regular nose breathing? what i mean is have you ever heard seen female singers out of breath after concert backstage breathing like fitness trainer zuzanna light after her zwow workout? (if you google zwow workout from 10 yrs ago listen to her breathing)
I love watching your videos. They are delivered really well and very helpful. Just a suggestion though - you could benefit from a different microphone setup and/or some room treatment. There is always a lot of reverb/echo and the sound is very “tinny”. Won’t stop me from watching but it’s a little distracting. 😊 Keep putting out great content!
Hi robfxdls, Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. It is so helpful to know how the experience is in the other side of the camera. I have thad issues with the sound but was unaware that it was this "bad". I will definitely do something about it. Thank you!
I thought you were going to show me how. I guess I'll have to check out the other videos. I'm actually looking for someone to help me with HOW to get that breathing technique. I've seen a lot of videos on it, and I can do the exercises ok, but it doesn't translate into my singing.
This is why I don’t sing. I know I’m not good at it and u hate how my family asks me to Sing knowing damn well I can’t. If I was good at it I’d be singing left and eighth. Which is why I’m trying to learn how to sing from the diaphragm. I love music and I would like to sing my favorite songs but I don’t because I would butcher the songs 😭
@@singgeek Hello, Thank you very much for your reply! I will get a coffee stirrer and work on that. I will also look for your diction exercises and you keeping your tongue out of the way video. Thank You!
Great explanation, thank you. But do you still allow the upper half of your lungs to fill when you inhale ? When I use my diaphragm/stomach to inhale, there’s still some volume in my upper lungs I can fill if I concentrate to do that.
@Singgeek yes I know how to fill the Diaphram with air but that doesn't tell me how to speak from it. I can feel the vocal vibrations from my throat or Chest when speaking but I don't know how to get the Vocal Vibrations to go down to the Diaphram, You are only telling us how to breathe we need to know how to get the Vocals Vibrations down to the Gut. Please explain how to do so.
Although different people will feel sympathetic vibration in different places. It’s highly unlikely anyone will feel vibrations from the sound at vocal fold level down in the diaphragm. What this video is suggesting as an idea is really a way to re guide your thinking of airflow away from the shoulders and throat area to release unnecessary tension that can be held there. That’s why the instruction “sing from the stomach” or “sing from the diaphragm” isn’t always a helpful one and isn’t really accurate
Thanks for sharing .. if I could help in any way, I'd sugest you to put some pillows or something to do the job behind the camera to down the amount of eco... this video is especially heavy on eco
This has never worked for me. Just caused poor breathing and tension. I've recently been imagining the diaphragm moving outward rather than downward and it's improving noticeably.
I didn't quite get it, is it necessary or suggested to tense your abs simultaneously? I've been struggling for long to manage improving as a singer, my sound is sufficient but the techniques and hitting the right keys might be difficult occasionally.
Thank you very much, Ronja, for your tips! And could you please clarify one thing for me? I find it a bit uncomfortable to inhale for singing both through my nose and my mouth, but it feels more natural for me to START inhaling with my nose only and then switch and FINISH inhaling with my mouth. Is it OK to inhale this way? And I have got a curvature of the nasal septum. Maybe it influences the way I inhale.
Hi vy4088, Thanks for your question. In short, yes it is ok :) The goal of your inhalation is that you are able to take in air quickly so that you have support for your phrases and can sing them in time. I often see singers who struggle with this because they try to inhale through the nose only, and as you might already know, this takes too long between phrases when you sing. The reason it is recommended to breathe both through the nose and the mouth at the same time is so that the nose can filter some of the air which makes it a bit less harsh for your vocal folds. But, it is tricky, and a process to learn, and I dare say that many do what you do (first a bit through the nose and then the rest through the mouth), and then slowly the two passageways start to overlap over time as you develop as a singer. I am not an ENT but from my experience a deviated septum is only a hindrance if the curve obstructs the passageway which, from what I can read, in most cases it is not. If you are able to take in air in time it sounds like you are good on that front and I would turn my focus to how you use that air when you sing, which is the next step :) Hope it helps
@@singgeek Thank you very much, Ronya, for your deep answer! I do appreciate you taking time to consider my question and give me such a nice answer! All the best to you!
Mam , I need Some Help Please , When I Sing , I DOnt know but why i get head ache , do u know about it , I think i m doing wrong , there is no medical problem with me
Hi, I’m sorry to hear that happens to you. Does it start right away when you sing or does it come after? Does it also happen when you do gentle warmups like the lip trill? I recommend you check out my videos on breathing technique to make sure you support your voice and then my video on jaw posture. It could be jaw tension causing the headache. Hope it helps and let me know how it goes 🙂
Nice. ... But: Air does NOT set the vocal folds into motion! Since they're muscles, they are set into motion (like all the other muscles in our body) through electrical impulses from the brain, not air-stream (blows gently against his biceps, hoping it might start to work...). Air-stream however certainly plays a role in singing ... for aesthetics, not for vocal innervation. (GeekOut) 😁😉
lol i can't do this or wasn't born with it retracting. I am a transcended lifeform otherwards I'm part AI. born this way. think of my talents and myself as part of a very complexed 4d hologram interstellar class 7 citizen I can only sing from the throat.
Ah so thats what that means! I kept hearing people say that on tiktok and I never understood what that mean. I mainly do a lot of vocal exercises because I find lessons terrifying (im really sensitive so one critique from a teacher would cause me to literally cry). So these videos are really helpful!
The sensitivity problem is the same for me too 😢😢 the only reason that’s keeping me from taking lessons…keep going and you’ve got this!❤
Any good teacher will never critique you, they'll only address your wrong practices/habits to let you improve, so get that nonsense out of your head
Smooth as 🧈!
Like a criminal under cover.
Love it!

@@singgeek not if you don't teach post concert backstage dyspnea calming breathing.
You are my singing dictionary!!! Best & simple explanations!!!
As smooth as possible, simple.
nice one thanks, ive been interested in voice over and im just finding out that this is the proper breathing technique
Thank you for these great videos on singing!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
i always use my throat to sing but i want to use my stomach, i can’t do it 😰
Same too I can't do it 😭
Throat singing is wrost .. no one singer use throat singing ...
They use to use mix voice for singing.
That is voice that make your voice soulful.

@@singgeek It’s not awful but could do with less echo and a bit more presence. Keep up the great work!

Using diaphragmatic breathing is how i reach Geoff Castellucci bass, I been practicing sixteen tons for months now
what is Geouff Castellucci bass?
@besttypebeats-s2e look up the name Geoff Castelluci, and preferably his version of the song "sixteen tons"
You are adorable and funny and a good coach.
Thanks mrmichael972, That made me so happy to hear ☺️

Aww thanks Paul. That was a nice compliment ☺️

@@singgeek My pleasure! 📖
Lip trills are very hard for me but I heard breathing into a straw really helps
Yes, straw singing is also great and has a similar effect. If lip trills are difficult straw singing is a great option :)

This was not informative
It means that the vocal coach doesn’t work with the correct words! It means that this coach is not good
This is not a good video and not a clear explanation. It’s just 2:57 of yammering. 🙄
