Trans Voice: HOW TO change your Resonance, effortlessly (PART TWO)

- The theme of the month continues with Larynx - HALLOWEEN EDITION
Over the past few weeks we talked about the larynx as a spider that lives on a web in the throat. The web below are the muscles that lower the larynx, and the web above, the muscles that raise it. To raise and lower the larynx without tension, we have to keep that web taut so the spider can move up and down effortlessly.
Today, we’re going to talk about how to engage and make stable the upper part of the web.
The muscles that raise the larynx are more complicated than the ones that lower them because they are many of them in many different spots.
The upper web starts at the hyoid bone, the top of the larynx, and inserts into the floor of the mouth, the jaw, and up behind the ear.
Let's engage the upper web:
STEP ONE: Hold out the sound "ooo"
STEP TWO: Flare your nostrils, hard.
STEP THREE: Pretend as though you’re eavesdropping on a conversation behind you, but you can’t turn your head. Your ears go up and back and align over your shoulders.
STEP FOUR: Add those together (ears over shoulders, + flare nostrils)
It brightens because by engaging the nostrils and ears, you’re stabilizing the upper part of the web. And because the upper is taut and the bottom web is not, the spider goes up.
For your treat I’m going to be like one of those cool moms who opens the door and just holds out the bowl of candy, and lets you choose.

I get it. Its using your imagination to affect actual change. When I had voice classes - many years ago - among some of the things I was taught to help with projection was to "spray" the sound - as if I had a can of paint spray - toward the back of the room but without raising my volume. It worked. Imagination works. Cool tips. Thanks.
You are awesome! Everyone is right, it's fun when you see immediate results - I'm hooked for the next lessons!
Thank you. It's much more understandable the way you do it - specifying which muscles to use and how. I can't express my frustration and despair at some of the advice I received from other sources. Thank you.
Your content and lessons are great and actually help. I love the way you are breaking things down and making it easy to understand unlike the majority here. Thank you so much
Wow! Thank you so much :) I'm glad you're finding them useful and approachable. I'm happy to chat about your voice journey if you'd like some guidance. Super grateful for your support.
Great video! Unfortunately i hear 0 change when i do these
Edit: i think i just have no idea how to move my nose
Same.
@@Mothgoth1 Thought I was the only moron who wasn't hearing any change! 😅
You're a angellll, thanks for the tips ❣️
YOU'RE an angel!!
This is very helpful, but I don't understand what you mean by the techniques, because I have little control over so not only do I not know if I can flare my nostrils, my eyes lift up and get super big since I don't have control.
wait stop! now i have to figure out how to flare my nose first. 😂😭
Haha think about making a "stank face" or like you just smelled something nasty. The nostrils naturally flare when you "curl" your upper lip!
How...how do you engage the nostrils and ears???
One online vocal coach told me the larynx/swallow technique is a bad thing to be doing. I know that's different than what you're talking about here, but I'm curious what you think about it
It's absolutely a horrible thing to do. Never do it. Ever!
Hi um, sorry to ask but does the treat actually work? Sorry just like worried because I don’t wanna down all of that for nothing, sorry
Did you visit the site to see what it is? I created 3 treats. Brain work, body work, and voice work. Yes they all “work” haha.
are you trans btw? just wondering if so you did AMAZING you still did amazing either way sorry if it sounded like i was insulting you
Not insulted at all! Gender fluid :)
Would externally rotating the shoulders also help,?
Yes, Definitely.
Your channel needs more subscribers for the content that you are providing. Anyway I'm happy to make that number tick up.
Awe, thanks! Feel free to share it with whomever you feel would benefit from the tips. Glad you're watching :)
@@undeadvoicelab I sent one of your videos to my mom, she joined a parents of trans people group on Facebook, I've encouraged her to share it there too. btw I am trans and I'm finding your videos helpful, so thank you for what you do
That's awesome! Happy to chat anytime you want to figure out if working on your voice with one of my resources would be useful for you. You can always email me at nicole@undeadvoice.com or grab a spot on my calendar for a free consult: calendly.com/undead-voice/fall
@@undeadvoicelab Thank you, I just might eventually, but right now I don't even have a cam or microphone. I'll get that taken care of soon. Also in the meantime I'm making changes that are good for the voice and overall health, changing to mostly drinking water, healthier snacking habits (seeds, nuts, fruits, high fiber cereals) and quitting smoking. I'll really feel better and ready to take on any voice exercises once I am rid of the smoker's cough. Anyway I'm babbling on, I hope you have a nice night and thank you again!
What do you charge for lessons,? .As a personal trainer, those I train like non technical language. I like the way you explain the techniques. I am happily transgender mtf
Hey hey! Thanks so recognizing my training style. It's always at the forefront of my videos to keep things accessible and non-technical. Thanks so much :) I have a full voice program called Undead Voice Lab (www.undeadvoice.com/faq) that has online video courses, twice monthly coaching with me, and an active community for support. The cost is $39-$49/week for a year, depending on which payment plan works best for you!
What movement? I don't feel anything? xD
Are my ears supposed to pop like crazy during this exercise??
how do i flair the nose
Instead of focusing on the nose specifically, think of sneering, so engaging the upper lip as though you just smelt somethint SUPER nasty. This will automatically flare the nostrils!
@@undeadvoicelab oh Yh but it feels kinda unnatural to speak like that
can people control the ears movement like dumbo ? how..
Some can, many can't. I don't have isolated control over my ear muscles for sure. Instead, by imagining someone is behind you you're needing to eavesdrop on without turning your head, it elongates your neck, and aligns your shoulders over your ears (up and back). Without having to be able to wiggle your ears! haha
Yeah, I can easily move my ears. There's a muscle that's located directly behind the ears that you flex and it'll pulls the ears back.
idk if its bcs english isn't my first language or what,but i didnt understand a thing...
These "friends" must be the agonist muscles
i really dont understand this
That had to be super frustrating! I’d love to help in any way I can. If you wanna chat you’re welcome to email me (nicole@undeadvoice.com) or just schedule a sync on my calendar here: calendly.com/undead-voice/fall
@@undeadvoicelab i figured it out in me own way
im just doing this so i can do a girl voice and voice troll
I'm sorry for my last comment i was extremely dysphoric and suicidal
