    I am now 80 yrs. old and still learning to sing. The body is old but my voice is still young. Never believed I could learn to sing at the age of 80. A dream come true. Thanks Freya!

      Ophiuchus. It WILL come, just be patient and get enough practice in. Every singer goes through a stage when they think they won't "get there". Always keep your face and jaw as relaxed as possible.

    When I first started practicing with an open throat, my throat got sore because I was not relaxing. But today, I finally relaxed my throat enough that it felt wonderful. One thing I did not realize is that when your throat relaxes you can actually feel it relax. It feels comfortable. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher.

    This was extremely helpful, thank you!! I think I’ve bee singing with a closed throat this entire time. I believe a lot of that is from lack of confidence and singing with a closed throat sort of keeps you in that safe zone, if that makes sense. I’m really going to work on this!!

    Singing with an open throat is best, but you're doing it wrong. Drop your jaw, then inhale with an abdominal breath, then exhale using the abdominal muscles, then immediately after you feel air move through your throat, make the sound (whatever note you want to hit). That's how opera singers sing and it's the most healthy way to sing. It's how women can be louder than an entire orchestra and go on for an hour with their throats being just fine. Your throat should never hurt after singing and your voice should never sound raspy after singing no matter how loud or how long.
    Even the Army teaches this by instructing soldiers in march to let a breath out and connect it with notes otherwise, you'll hurt yourself.

But when I sing uu or aa my voice is weak and sounds stupid and my larynx is in higher position than when I'm singing ee. Why? Why it has always felt (in mixed voice) like there's something on the way? I can't sing great in mix because the sound is weak and it doesn't come out like I think/feel it should in my head. Could someone help me please?
