... firstly IANAPS, IANAVC ( I am not a professional singer, I am not a vocal coach) I dont think this is a good idea. I run and do other stuff. You've...
Good vocal technique requires proper breath control. You don't use your diaphragm only for when you need massive amounts of air - you use it all the time...
Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. I remember running one time saying to myself I am going to focus on lower body breathing, i.e. using my diaphragm....
What I mean is that psychology plays a huge role in the performer's life. If a singer is afraid of certain notes, they are going to fail. If they relax, ...
I would say that if you're using good technique that yes, you should be able to hit a high C in a year (although it may not be soild), if you are a tenor. ...
Using the diaphgram is always the best way to breathe, and it's the way we all breathe when we are born. And everyone uses it today...otherwise, they'd be dead...
dear coach Kristina, thanks for your advice but I should say that is not very clear how does it feel to have or reach sinus resonance, I dunno but in male high...
Just my own humble opinion here, basd on experience and what a few "pros" have said... My daughter has attended several summer camps in the performing arts and...
Renee, some things are just too difficult for me to describe online, I'm afraid. You will know it when you have sinus resonance. Your placement will no longer...
Hello, My problem is this: when I sing it sounds fine, to me anyway. I think I'm getting all the notes, I think I'm doing the vibrato right..etc etc. But then...
First question: when I sing the higher notes a certain way (this is going to sound silly) it feels like the fillings in my teeth, my jawbone, and even my ear...
Do you use this technique to help with breath control? Asking the student to place a thumb on the belly button while the fingers are placed on the tummy? If...
... Where it really gets fun is when you sing onstage with minimal monitors. The audience can hear you blasting through the mains but you hear nothing because...
Oh, man is he telling the truth! I feel your pain there, brother! And I'll probably feel it again tonight at 8:00. melvinnich@... wrote: ... Where it...
Sanja, no singer can hear themselves the way everybody else does, because of the way our bodies are built. However, you can train your ear for better pitch....
Kim, I had reccomended the nose-pinching thing. It can be a helpful aid for singers who tend to be nasally, enabling them to find better placement. Yes, that...

I want to say that I am a fan of all different styles and types of music. I listen to classical, rock, jazz and some orchestral too. I do know good music when...
I've only been going for lessons for one term (10 lessons). I've been taught the breathing...how when you breathe the stomach expands, when you sing it caves...

Nothing on scales or chords. The exercises are scale passages, one note repeated 5 times (so: c,c,c,c,c...then d,d,...), "Me-ning, Nay-ming" type of exercises,...
I could only speculate along with you as to what's really going on, but my hunch is that it's about the term. The semester's over, and perhaps they don't want...

Sanja, I have heard of teachers telling students they have nothing more to teach them, so it's not that uncommon. (I also know teachers who turn down students...
Hi everyone, It has been awhile since I was able to step onto the Tessitura Board, but seem to have hit it at the right time. Hope my comments about how our...
Well this doesnt fully relate to singing but more with taking lessons. I've taken private voice for a little over 3 years with the same teacher and have become...
