The Best Singing Tip You've NEVER Heard: Placement

[@mikehopkins4040]

Cant understand why some people give this a
thumbs down when the
lady is trying too help
singers, it's free advice
after all.

[@Betterdailyy]

Exactly

[@wjohnson100]

My first day singing with this tip and it totally changed my sound and opened up my higher registers, giving them a more relaxed, much fuller and more powerful sound 👏👏👏👏

[@Naileverynote]

That's great! I'm so glad to hear it, Walter!

[@kambata1]

I didn’t have music teacher. Now I don’t have voice teacher. And I was looking for such video for 4 years. Thaaaank you so much. Love you, Love you Love you!

[@markwaldonjohnson]

OMG! I just unlocked it! been trying to find this part of my voice fora long long time and just found this video went and had a sing and ended up changing the key of the song I've been struggling with up 4 tones! I can't believe it! Just like that?! Thank you soooomuch for this. X

[@SpaceGhost67]

I am very grateful after 50 of 55 years doing it to finally come out of the wilderness as a vocalist [imitator] and a singer or artist. Thank you for one of the best lessons of my life, all in minutes, no professorial theory or endless, dull scales.

[@delyradelirium]

You have the gift of teaching. Thank you!

[@LousyFacelift]

In my experience this tip makes a lot of sense. The problem when switching from high chest to head voice and you still want to sound compact and full instead of airy is first of all finding the right level in head voice and then switching very fast between your chest voice notes aimed to the back of your mouth to the head voice notes placed more towards your teeth. Then if the notes get even higher remaining in head voice, the placement again moves more to the back of the mouth. Thanks for this! Great video! :)

[@gediminaskulakauskas8799]

LousyFacelift Never thought about bridging and switching to different registers in this way! Have to try it ! Thanks.

[@guitarforfree]

gets brighter as you move forward very cool

[@operasinger2126]

I have been singing for years and this was very helpful. THANKS!

[@gobalswg]

You'll see some teachers say to keep everything forward. Some say it's dangerous. Some say to sing high notes forward, while this video says the opposite. Wading through the contradictions with these things is a real pain.

[@arik0128]

Andrew DeNise imho, its all about the balance between 2 resonance chambers. the nasal chamber responds better with high pitch notes, the palate chamber responds better with low pitch notes. 100% palate chamber, you will lose the beautiful timbre even for male voice. but, 100% without the palate chamber, there will be no consonant performed, thus all murmuring. moreover, palate resonance is less power efficient. so the higher it goes, the more nasal you naturally or conciousely should become.

[@Souls4Music]

Andrew DeNise yes you are correct..

[@gedas7058]

+Li haotang , so should you keep soft palate lowered down and have some sort of balance between both of that stuff? because What I found myself getting into is murmuring, mumbling words and sounding like I have a stuffy nose. So I think that all of the sound I create is going into the nasal resonance. But how to balance it out with mouth resonance? I understand the idea but how to actually do it?

[@nickspinner1850]

Andrew, I agree; I'd say it's better to just sing. You start with songs or parts of songs you can handle and once you master those who move up to something more difficult. It's not quite that simple, and I think having someone to guide you can save a lot of time and possible vocal cord damage, but that's the crux of it. If you want to read more about my ideas, my blog is at:
learningtosing.wordpress.com
I offer a free assessment.

[@operasinger2126]

Must say singing high notes forward works for me. I curl the sound around my hard palate and down front teeth. I get more compression this way to get more control singing higher notes. At least that's how I perceive it.

[@scottfishkind5335]

Love this! It is amazing how the body can figure out, via intuitive experimentation, the subtle adjustments required to achieve various sensations..

[@gonzalodominguez229]

Worked. I'll never forget this one. Thanks

[@MikeJones-uh6ll]

I realize that this is old video. But my god!!! After learning this and just working with it the last hour or so. I can feel the difference so much what game changing knowledge this is been studying and and working with trying to improve my voice. Wow!!! This has improve my singing skills in a short time .❤ this is the best video on voice training..actually like voice awareness. Can't thank you enough. When I wake up tomorrow this will probably be the first thing on my mind ❤❤

[@wjohnson100]

This tip really freed up my transitions all the way up my range. Occasionally I would accidentally do this and it would work but I had difficulty consistently doing it. It doesn't help that there is a lot contradictory stuff out there about placement. The concept of varying placement through my range is a huge help.

[@savannahspeir2762]

Oh my god. I never realized that I sang all of my notes in the back of my mouth until now. I was a soprano in middle school chorus, and I remember our teacher telling us that we should be sending the note further back in my mouth to sound more "mature." I kept that advice to heart and didn't realize it was specific to hitting high notes. This also explains why the director of my high school's musical told me he's never heard someone's voice come from where in the throat mine does before. This is going to help a lot. Thanks!

[@byrevery]

That was actually amazing, really helpful mental cue for bridging chest voice with head voice!

[@SERCAMILIN26]

The idea of using the soft palate really works, but it´s essential not creating tension in
your throat. It´ll happen if you activate directly your soft palate, so the best way of activating it would be indirectly. Alfredo Kraus explains how to do it: using facial muscles to lift your voice, as if you were smiling. All is about avoid an excess of tension at the throat.

[@gedas7058]

Is there a video of that showing how to do that indirectly? Because as you've said, somehow directly with me lifting the soft palate comes the tension in the jaw or throat. It's subtle but still it's tension.

[@doctorpatt]

much gratitude for your deceptively simple, breezy lesson, and wealth of knowledge...very helpful, I am working on upright in a jazz band and returning to vocals, and this concept is really helpful. and by the by--you are totally cute. thanks, s

[@eddiemorrone870]

Ok, you’ve said it the simplest at 0:50... “where you send your voice before it comes out your face.” Also, the exercise at 3:23 helped me understand so much better.

[@Tagoreapoet]

Well demonstrated and presented in a manner all vocal students comprehend immediately.

[@rgwebster]

Instantly life changing. Thanks!

[@MostlyEarTraining]

very interesting ideas; i've heard a lot about placement before but never associating placing high notes in the back and lower notes in the front like this. cool tip !

[@etiennedekock3722]

Thanks for that tip !! Realised I have been doing the opposite when bridging from TA to CT falsetto, took a few attempts to like switch my pitch and placement opposite but as soon as I got it the difference was noticeable. My teeth and face definitely vibrated more from the lower frequency. Super cool ! Thanks again

[@briansolomons744]

Wow! This tip really helped. I immediately saw an improvement. Thanks so much!

[@Betterdailyy]

This helped me so much it’s CRAZY!!!! Thank you

[@fritzsebastian]

To me, this is the best vocal placement teaching video, thanks!

[@hera-nf8mz]

there are tips I had never heard before. ill be watching this video many times, subscribed and thumb up too.

[@aravindmadhavan123]

Superb video. Thank you. Really helped when you demonstrated by going from back to the front when you did an octave descend. Seems so counterintuitive and therefore very difficult...

[@BilalAhmed-ix3sg]

you are a genious! thank you so much! i havnt quite mastered placement yet but the way u explained it has already helped me produce deeper notes... i have never consided vocal placement in the roof of the mouth and btw your oooos sound heavenly lol i have subbed -keep these vids coming :-)

[@alexthomas7556]

Thank you so much! Honestly, I've been experimenting with forward placement and front and middle really helped but high notes were a mystery for me.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I finally understand! :D

[@enjinks]

This tip is perfect for holding long high notes! Thanks

[@WmLatin]

Did anyone ever tell you that you look like young Elizabeth Shue? It just struck me as you were turning front/sideways. I mean it as a complement as she was always one of my favorite actresses. I have subscribed and look forward to more tips!

[@rdberg1957]

I had a voice teacher I worked with who didn't talk about this as placement, but nonetheless my low notes were more on the teeth and the high notes on the soft palate.

[@DenisMorissetteJFK]

Higher notes more to the back of the mouth, and lower notes more in front. I thought it was the opposite. My misunderstanding may have caused extra tension and sounds not properly produced. Thank you!

[@Roses1401]

Very great video. It helps to free voice and see differenz between voice behind and forward. For sure i will try it meny times. Thank you so much for that exercise!!! 1A lesson!!! GREAT TEACHER!!!

[@ukulele-covergirl]

Very Interesting. I tried it. I like it.🌺

[@officialWWM]

What a beautiful tone!

[@anna-anna-bo-banna]

Genious 🙌🏼 You’ve got yourself a new follower, can’t wait to see more ❤

[@anna-anna-bo-banna]

Oh, and BTW… Thank you 😊

[@mrx-b3i]

great lady it works, thanks

[@lumumbamanalu6333]

BIG THANKS!! ITS REALLY HELP ME A LOT! GOD BLESS YOU!! THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT PLACEMENT! I'M SO HAPPY! 😭😭😭

[@jessylow6818]

It works for me. Great video

[@jnacio1667]

Thank you for sharing this! You’re an amazing and beautiful teacher.

[@markamato7339]

Thanks young lady

[@entahlah111]

Thank you so much 😊

[@DipsonSitaula]

This video's worth is more than a million!! 🎉 The way you expressed and explain was phenomenal and productive for sure,,would love to know more about fast vibrato,,the way "Beth Hart" uses..thank you so so much 🖤🙏🌸

[@libcaro]

.... it worked!!! i never reached such high note..omg!!! thank you so much

[@raymiller1025]

Thank you. This helped me alot.

[@themarcos150591]

Genius!

[@francescabrilli7400]

Many thanks!
This lesson was really enlightening!

[@mustakim2144]

Thank you!

[@gabzsy4924]

I know this video is 3 years old, but I wanted to tell you that this was trully eye opening. I can see that I used to do that naturally, altho without a notion or without it being conscious so sometimes I felt lost and coudn't figure it out how to control my voice. I do have a question tho. If I want to hit a high note belting, would I still focus on the back?

[@diminishedthicc]

yes, i literally try to feel the note in my lips before i hit it

[@nephrologynurse]

The Best and Awesome Tips. Thank you Dear!

[@TheCheermoon]

You really helped me, thank you!!! :D

[@fancythebold]

Aren't you suppose to keep the sound in the same place basically , ex: place almost in the middle of pallette. So the tone stays the same?

[@rachelmorosky2963]

Great tip and explained clearly

[@littleshadow2707]

She's awesome!!!!!!!!

[@gonzalodominguez229]

maybe you can solve this a little.. how to find the tone to sing "Camaron de la Isla - como el agua"
which is of course maybe to much of a question.. but you have explained a few concepts like no other.. that why i dare. Thanks

[@rodogarcia8512]

Great lesson

[@loganyeates6164]

This is very helpful, thank you!

[@henrywalker2015]

Finally, an answer to my breaks

[@Naileverynote]

Just released another original #vocal tip. Here's the best #singing tip you've NEVER heard about: placement. ua-cam.com/video/xR6ESH2TQcs/v-deo.html

[@ronnieowens1644]

Nail Every Note I would like for you to hear my voice and tell me what I need to work on. that's the best way I can tell you.

For revisitors :)

[@tinapederzolli6350]

genious

[@AlexSanchez-hm8uh]

I thought when you aim your voice at your hard palate the sound gets brighter or higher and gets dull or lower higher when you aim it at the soft palate.

[@georgeskomorowski]

Thank you sooo much dear..This is do-a-bul. Smart cookie!!

[@halimcharbek]

do you have a video on how a baritone can develop his voice? everyone out there tries to push baritones into the bass zone yet we can't really hit "bass" tones hence can train like basses

[@kimberleyoconnell6364]

This helped me so much!

[@yyoveltube]

Did u want me to use my head or chest voice?

[@lieciorodriguez]

thanks for this verry good information.

[@godwinmomoh6655]

I need to take my songs from my nose to my mouth

[@celibidache1000]

It is anatomically and acoustically not possible to place the voice anywhere. The sounds is created and amplified in the pharynx. What she is doing (seemingly unawares) is changing the shape of pharynx and tongue, which changes which harmonics are amplified more:
high harmonics - brighter tone - SOUNDS like forwards
lower harmonics - duller tone - SOUNDS less forward.
But the sound never moves anywhere. Different harmonics also FEEL different, because of sympathetic vibrations. Still - it's all in the pharynx.

[@Craigjordan121]

Interesting. Feels like the more forward I place the sound, the more air wants to take the nose route out....should the same amount of air be coming out of the nose for both forward and aft placement?

[@thecavlry]

Is this the same as controlling the Larynx? Btw, great video. It really helped.

[@eagleforce4116]

You found out?

[@tinaysanchez2427]

I just love you!

[@angaddevgan5562]

Does your larynx move up and down as well when your voice goes from back of the roof to the front of the roof ?

[@umojabutler5296]

you are awesome!!!🌹

[@hatchmando4918]

I had a voice coach who said to try to hear yourself (and they may have meant aim sound) toward front always. Is that wrong? This is first Im hearing to aim high in back- i wouldve tried to use mask (front) if I needed power first. Hmmmm

[@guitarforfree]

Great lesson TYTYTY

[@joshuanabarrete2066]

Hey Hey You are amazing love you thank you

[@marilynlong7727]

am a beginner singer learning classical. am just starting to learn about placement. how do I eliminate breathiness?

[@michaela2776]

Nice tip but can I ask a question?
I thought all voice placement is directed towards your resonance otherwise there’s no power. Where your saying the high notes should be, isn’t it that where the mix should be? Anyway singing confuses the crap out of me. I think singers like Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury are the perfect templates for singing?

[@increasechukwubueze769]

awesome
thumbs up
more of it ma

[@amyrosenold-music-healing-yoga]

I would appreciate an explanation for why the pitches are best placed the way this teacher claims.

[@laurachase]

It’s beceause by placing the sound you actually control your soft palate and when you wanna go into your high belt or mix and stay strong your soft palate needs to stay down to allow airflow through your nose which in turn allows for a very strong sounding high mix the problem is that the soft palate tends to go more up the higher your pitch your voice and that kills the air flow through your nose 👃 which makes you open your mouth more and makes you use to much force from your chest voice to pull the voice up! So control your soft palate 🤗

[@Vzshowman]

Very good placement depending on hi or low notes ....Thanks for lesson.

[@diyeimeta3339]

primera vez te veo, pero me convenciste en los primeros 2 minutos, pa delante.

[@Laura-cq1np]

God! excuse teacher, but is not easy to explain as part of " messa di vocce", as part of increasing resonance; i mean I'm opera student, specially barroque; this crecendo and descrecendo, sorry, a little bit confusing explanation is part of " messa di voce""- i am wrong, thanks!!❤❤❤❤
