She think you cute ;)
VERY HELPFUL VIDEOS!!!! MY FAVORITE VOCAL COACH!!! 💖💖💖
DominiqueSings maybe i'm too late but i tottaly agree with you. This actualy helps

I found my voice but... I’m not sure I wanna keep it 😦
Alexandré Moreau give it to me, I don’t have a voice
So you haven't found your voice. When you find it and then you sing slowly feeling the music. You'll love it
😂
I mean like, theres songs out there for every type of voice right?
Alexandré Moreau tragic 😂😂😂😂😂
"even if you don't like my voice"
boi im here coz i like yo voice
LOL!!! 🙏🏽
"Their clothes don't fit you. Get your own damn clothes."
Absolutely the BEST advice I've heard pertaining to singing.
Dude he's teaching how to song not selling his dress lol
Sudie Baucom dude's got a point tho. yeah, tbh i had that weakness he mentioned. i have an idol local singer, Champ Lui Pio, and when i heard my voice on the mic for the first time (i'm using samson q7) damn, i got discouraged. yeah, i'm trying clothes that don't fit me. lmao.
i really think this is a VERY IMPORTANT lesson for ... well me, and people like me.
as much as i love manson, He is not My voice... ya know? so...
its kinda like trying to MAKE the square peg go into the round hole... etc...
xD

"We don't curse the violin for not being a trumpet, and vice versa."
... and with that phrase, I was suddenly in a bright meadow, running in slow motion through a field of sunflowers while "I Can See Clearly Now" played like the soundtrack to my newfound existential moment of clarity... So much sense was just made.
It sounds like he’s singing EVEN when he talks I’m shook
NOW I CAN'T UNHEAR IT, HELP
Steps to finding your voice:
1. BRRRRRRRRRR
2. HAHAHAHAHA
I laughed at this and found my muscles moving, You will get half of my wealth when I become pro singer
@Lena Alomary nope
Hmm?
After reading this i skipped to step 2
XD
Him: Baby tonight
Me an intellectual: *ThE CrEePErS GonNA SteAl All OuR stUff AgAin*
I love how he laughs when he says "even if you don't like my voice". There is nobody who could dislike such an angelic voice and he knows it.
*found my voice*

5:51 that gentle cough turned into a cough attack and it lasted for the rest of the video

*Police storm in* "DETAIN THE PATIENT"
you helped me .. i was going to rob someone for a labtop to use autotune in fl studio , but after this i wont need it . respect.
J. Jnz mmm. Cool
Andy Glenny it does lol
6:36 "practice laughing through your range". Man, I'm a bass singer and that's just SOOO weird to laugh at my very low range. I sound like a psycho
Same here lmfao
Oh i like psychos ! pls make a video or audio with you laughing :)
Gabriel Oliveira look at it as unique instead of psycho being that few ppl have that range
Ahaha right, evil genius laugh 😂
Your comment made me laugh. ^-^
Something I noticed about my self is that instead of singing from a point where I can hear myself sing with my ears, I sing from a point of what I 'imagine' I sound like In my head instead of actually hearing what I sound like with my ears, I imagine what I sound like in my head which is probably why I've made no progression in my singing voice. So instead of focusing all my attention on what I 'think' I sound like, I should be focusin all my attention on what sound like in my ears. I know what you mean when you say a lot of it is mental. Cuz when I try to imagine or think about what I sound like, I'm not actually hearing the sound of my own voice with my ears, I only hear what I'm imagining or thinking about what I sound like instead of actually focusing and hearing what I actually sound like. Does this make sense? I hear the sound of my voice as what I imagine it sounds like but I'm notw hearing my voice for what it really sounds like. You are 150% correct when you say there is a mental part of singing not just a physical. Please keep the vids coming-out
Same. But of it may be related to a fear (insecurity) as well, so you suppress your full voice because you want to sing but don't really want to be heard.
I’m sitting here, a 30yo old dude with no singing experience (except for in the car) thinking he’s gonna unleash the beast within his voice. That being said, this video was very educational. Keep up the good work my friend🤘
"Get your own damn clothes".. that resonated so deeply lol I love your personality!
Denzel Phoenix I sang with Ed Sheeran and he is so impressed with my singing
I'm a horrible singer so I'm going to start watching these to get way way better I hope they work xD
How are you now?
You will get better😁
Gaming Ain't Easy where you in music in high school?

My voice to light I’m a rat :(
@@ezraisaninjac7136 your lucky, I am a baritonr and I wish I was tenor lol
Same my voice is so deep .
Man “your speaking voice is your singing voice” is probably the best singing advice I’ve ever heard. Instantly sounded so good. Thank youuuu

Your a jerk
@@jacobsvideo3344 are you 12?
I was! 😀😁😂🤣... And before. I actually, started this comment before, thinking it was a certain comment but yours is after my reference . Haha and still hear ones. Vocals have many.
I watched 2 minutes and 30 seconds of this video and when you said nasally I immediately identified with that. I tried to relax and sing the way you did in your example.... I a 29 year old man and I almost cried. My voice finally sounds like.. I dont know. I've been struggling with my voice and I love singing so much and I never found myself until now. Thank you. Im going to watch all your videos.
Thats so cool. Im still waiting for that to happen to me :)
Dinglebarriez I’m totally with you on this!! It’s beautiful
I do u stop singing through your nose that's my problem
@@a.j1239 nasality isn't the issue

You’re speaking voice is amazing 😍
Thank you! 😅

probably the quote of the decade
I'll start today in secret. My wife sings. I'll surprise her later down the road lol
I was laughing every time he said “baby tonight” lmao 😂💀
This video was my "aha moment." You just changed my singing life. Real talk.
🙌🏽
You're like a musical psychologist. Thanks for that!
If you're a lemon, don't try to be a carrot. :)

Elton Mascarenhas wow mate. That shit is deep.
My voice depends on the day tbh
sometimes it wants to go high, others I get to use my actual voice
I'm SO impressed with this! I've had so many voice teachers, but never experienced anyone as good as Eric!! WOW!!!
I'm genuinely laughing at the laughing part itself 😂
Hahahahahahahahah

Pfft me too

Hahaha
I'm dead. Lmfao
HOLY SHIT THIS ACTUALLY WORKS -- why has no one ever given this advice? My own voice is still painful to listen to, but after a few tries, the stars aligned for like 2 seconds and I got a small glimpse of what I sound like.
When i was little, my dad would go like "when you grow up, you're gonna be have a deep voice and be a bass singer like me" and everytime he said that i laughed
And then i went through puberty..
Love how you broke this down! Using my diaphragm in a relaxed, natural manner still seems unnatural most of the time but when I hit that flow state from time to time it yields such a rich sound 👌🏼
Truly one of the most well rounded videos on fixing one's vocal timbre that I've ever watched! Keep up the good work sir!
🙏🏽😌
ok, i did put a hand on my abs but i'm fat so i don't feel them at all :D
oOcitizenOo same 😂 I thought it was something wrong with me guess I just need the gym 😂😅
i can relate
LMFAO same dude.
oOcitizenOo "I love my abs so much, I protect them with a layer of fat." -Me
LPS Glittercakes that's adorable and accurate lmfao
but my abs is hidden beneath all these fats ._.

I love how you point out the self image people hold and how that is a hug part in keeping them from releasing they're unique voice! Thanks for sharing!!!
I’m watching this on a school night at 1 a.m.
PSYCHO KIDS no more school 😂
Yo wtf same here
Laughter is the best medicine
Psalms 126:2 KJV
“Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.”
Amen
Amen
Who is hath
Amen
AMEN
Who wouldnt like your voice??? 😶
GURL I was thinking the same thing.
+Dina S If you watch all of his videos, he says that he had to work hard to sing and sound so good.
:)
Dina S only worthless haters don’t like this guy.
Me.... but he seems like a cool dude
It is truly a treat listening to you. Not something that happens often in UA-cam videos! And plug that plug as often as you need, you did it with grace and I look forward to hearing more from you: )
Thank you so much! ❤️
As someone who has worked with elite vocal coaches this guy is amazing! Inspiring me:)
I actually realized this fact not long before watching the video, because I tried to copy my favorite artist's voice like many others. But then I gave up at that after a few weeks because I couldn't quite make it sound as good. That made me feel like I was just simply a worse singer and worse than her. And I just let that go, I used my own voice the second my failed attempts made me feel despondent, and it surprised me how I instantly fucking sounded so much better at the song. I realized I'm _not_ worse, different≠worse. I can be their different equal.
So, you may not sound like your favorite artist. You may sound bad when you really try and practice to sound like them. But it can absolutely sound equally and differently awesome at the same time when you sing someone else's song, if you stop putting effort into imitating their voice. If you only give up and use your own.
It won't sound the same, but it can sound just as great. Imagine if one of your favorite artists sang another artist's song. They won't sound the same at all, but you might know they'd still make it sound *awesome.* By them adding their own twist to the song, by using their own voice to their advantage. It isn't a weakness at all if you can't copy someone else.
Sorry if too much paraphrasing. Great tips in the video.
#YourIQDoesn'tMeanShitToMe This is great advice. 👌🏻
So.. my issue is I try to sound like the artists and sometimes I sound good, sometimes I don't.. but I don't really have my own voice..
Thank you for inspiring me
Good job
Well said.😎👍
You are divine... doing service to mankind.. MAKING PEOPLE SING AND HAPPY.. LOVE YOU
Thank you so much, Minnu 🙏🏾❤️
Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate this.
I absolutely love your videos!! You do an excellent job at explaining things and being natural and encouraging (and humorous).
THIS WAS THE BEST LESSON THAT HELPED ME IN FINDING MY VOICE. MY TEACHER ALWAYS TOLD ME TO LOCK THE ABS AND DIAPHRAGM TO CREATE BREATH SUPPORT BUT EVEN WHEN SINGING IN HEAD VOICE IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE I WAS ACTUALLY SINGING. IT WASN'T MY REAL VOICE. AS SOON AS YOU GAVE THE DEMONSTRATION OF A CHEST VS A MORE OPEN VOICE AND HOW TO JUST LET GO, I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO MIMICK IT (MORE MENTALLY SINCE I KNEW THE PHYSICAL PART) AND I NEARLY FLIPPED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD MY REAL VOICE SINGING WITHOUT ANY EXTRA ADAPTATIONS ETC. I'M NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING, I WAS SO SHOCKED, I SOUNDED SO DIFFERENT YET I SOUNDED LIKE...ME. IT'S AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH!
MEGHA ARMY your first like by me
ARMY STAY BESTFRIEND UNICORN ATINY THEB why u yelling kid
I am not joking you have autotune in your throat
...You mean like Finn from "Adventure Time"? 😏 ...lol
lol finn
You have an amazing pitch accuracy
+EricArceneaux. I have neighbors sir, and I am being rude as hell laughing at this adventure time joke at 2:30 in the a.m...Lol(literally)
+EricArceneaux people tell me that I have a very classic Disney voice. I really want to know how I can find my personal vocal style? Thanks for your time.
I really appreciate you! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Your vocal lessons have really been a blessing ❤ 😊 because of you I was able to find my voice.
Wow. I loved that video more than I can comprehend! That has totally inspired me to really find my voice that I’ve been avoiding all of these years. Thank you 🙏🏼
I started singing less than a year ago, and have made some great progress. I've always had your videos in the back of my mind. Thank you for that.
Especially the lip thing warmup thing xD
Him: don’t lock your abs
Me:*stares at stomach searching for the abs he said to not lock *
If you didn't have abs you wouldn't be able to sit up
@@InlandFaun374 I'm physically unable to sit up😎

😂😂 Me: tries to do the trill and feel for abs
Also Me: huh what abs? I have fat. This isn't working.
My visible abs are too sexy that I hide it under a lot of fat
I love your target on the way you approach your lesson, you make it seem so simple to grasp.
Wow, I have been singing for over 40 years and this is the best instruction I have ever heard. Thank You Sir.
Dude got buff in between videos lol.

I think he's the best vocal coach I've watched so far. Everything he says make sense and really helpful.
The way this dude uses his voice is unreal! Wow!
Seriously 😭 just the first minute of this video gave me some tears of hope 😂 I wish I was kidding. Subscribed and notifications on! Can’t wait to see more!
Me too! Subscribed with those notifications turned on too!
That soft coughing thing is the most useful thing I've ever heard a singing instructor say. I think I've finally found my pure singing voice.
Eric, I love that you're taking away from the nasal with tightness to clear tone and fullness, beautiful sound. thank you.
Recorded myself in my voice...played it back and cried. Thank you for your help Eric 💫
"Their clothes don't fit you. Get your own damn clothes" lol love this guy.
2:20 " don't lock your abs " I am so sry, I love em so much that I decided to cover em up with few layers of fat:( don't have the time and effort to unlock it ( aka burning fat) lol
ACE_stealth251 [ACE] There are so many amazing singers out there that society wouldn’t classify as “fit”

I can already tell that you are a great singer. It shows in your voice because it is so calming. Your voice is expressive because your voice is so calming it makes other people want to do it also.
Eric, i just love your spirit...it is so positive but bold with so much constructive honesty that is awesome to me. I like you break down the basics of what it takes to help with your voice, and how you added your speaking voice is so important to how you speak that is how you sing also. So how you speak is so important to how you sing also. Thank you Eric, and you truly opened my eyes to that one description of finding our voice helped me. I am doing all i can to keep working on my voice in church with my vocal coach with these techniques, as well with daily vocal exercises. God Bless!
Thank you for this video. I've always struggled with my voice because I thought it was bad to sound different, I mean my speaking voice is very different, I was always insecure because for a female it's rather masculine. I've even gotten complimented because of my uniqueness by a coach, and he said it was beautiful, but for some reason, I still feel insecure about it to this day. I listen to it on recording and objectively it's not even bad, but I have this personal hatred towards it. Apparently many singers struggle with this, but I'm just having trouble seeing the light.
I mean I listen to my voice all the time and my voice is no stranger to me, but it's so frustrating dealing with this personal indifference.
rap mon 💗💗
+Mako Yuhara I feel you completely. I used to cringe everytime I hear my voice played back. But I am slowly coming into realization that this is MY voice, and it is unique.
ARMY EVERYWHERE 😍😍😂😂
+Mako Yuhara Don't worry about it :) Alison Moyet has a masculine voice, & she has the best voice in the world!
Thanks man, I'm absorbing these tips. I'm a guitar player first but I'm sick of waiting for "the singer" to show up and have decided to do it myself. The tips you are providing are fantastic and make sense!! I can feel it working already, just from watching the video. It's like I understand my body from martial arts training and you're using the right terms to help my mind figure this out. THANKS!!!!
Curious, how effective has it been? Asking because im in a similar situation
Morgan Janssen You're going pro
@Morgan Janssen
1 year later how is your Voice?
@@TheNastyDrunk it’s 4 years later and I’m dying to know.
thank you for all your advice!! your comment on not expecting a violin to play like a trumpet was an eye opener to me. i was straining myself because there are so many singers i’ve seen in which their singing voice is different from their speaking voice (imagine my mind being blown when you said your singing voice IS your speaking voice LOL). i’ll make sure to keep your words in mind! thank you!
He said don’t lock your abs and suddenly I could sing
