7 Tips to Elevate Your Singing!

[@EliteFitnessWithSteve]

Best vocal instructor in the business people. These videos are all free! The lead singer of Victim of Circumstance doesn’t sing like he does by accident;)

That hign note was surreal, even made me doubt you actually produced it, so evenly sustained. I will strive to achieve that kind of stability. No matter the looks on my cats faces.

"where you begin is no indication as to how far you can go with your voice" -beautifully said. Wow that goes for almost anything in life too!

[@voicelessondotcom]

Definitely a universal truth for life!

[@thepsychedelicathlete]

I have switched from lip trills to humming as my habitual practice thoughout the day. Huge difference! Switching from humming to falsetto and head voice mid hum is teaching me to sing these pitches. I try each vowel off the hum. Going to really put this to practice. I'm a year into guitar, a deep baritone, and minimal singing ability but have made insane strides week to week. Started singing drills and theory via YT when i started doing open mic every week. You are the best on here! I think not naturally being blessed with a good (or "unlocked") voice makes you know what your students are capable of. As a coach/trainer/teacher, I notice most ppl lie when they say "anyone can get good" when it came naturally to them. Never good to have a coach who thinks they are more gifted. I prefer harder working, logical coaches with a wisdom via overcoming adversity. Excited to improve via your concepts

[@voicelessondotcom]

Great coordination builder to let each vowel emerge from a hum.

[@flintlong2937]

God bless you, Mark. You're the only teacher on this planet, who speaks in these terms.

[@voicelessondotcom]

Thanks Flint!

[@alexstory3756]

If you want to improve not just your voice but your entire understanding around contemporary singing, do yourself a huge favour and get private lessons with Mark. I've worked with him for years and he totally turned my voice around - and the self-confidence of learning to trust my voice spread to every aspect of my life. Years ago, people always liked my songs but weren't sure if I was the guy to sing them. Now I can rock a crowd and get standing-O's. Thanks, Mark.

[@voicelessondotcom]

Always a pleasure to work with passionate artists like you Alex! Rock on!

Intelligent, très bonne pédagogie, utile, humble, extrêmement compétent...et sympa en plus !!! Ce prof est définitivement celui qui me fait progresser le plus...je vais parfois vers d'autres territoires, me confronter à d'autres types de vocalises, j'ai trouvé 2 autres profs qui sont bons sur YT, et c'est vrai que c'est utile aussi. Mais, ici, ce travail en profondeur, comprendre et ressentir ce qui se passe à l'intérieur du corps et de l'esprit...toute cette pédagogie aide vraiment à aller dans le bon sens. MERCI Mark !

Got Mark's book a few days ago and already with just a few pages in, I'm getting a lot of answers for my singing generally and mind body connection! Easy to read book too where I can hear Mark's voice coming through the pages. He writes as he speaks! Great opportunity to "get inside my vocal coach's head!" I have already recommended Mark's book to my youngest son who is interested in rapping and producing 😊 UPDATE on the above: Finished reading my first run of the book within 2 weeks and reading it again to pick up on the great little nuggets in it! 😁 Great timing for the start of my new job as the book teaches me to be a singer first, who also happens to be a sales person for my employer!! If you like Mark's sense of humour, you'll find it in the book too! Excellent singer's book!👌🏽👏🏽🤩 I am a gospel singer. Enjoy!

I am so much at the bottom of the ladder. Recently I have taken up singing lessons at -almost 60-LOL 😁😄. I was not born with a beautiful voice as some people, but I love/love singing. I always did and I was better singing alto. I can harmonise and stay on pitch-I guess this is one bonus point 😊. Weirdly enough I have joined one of the singing team in our church and that also pushes me to continuously improve as I notice my wishy-washy sound 😂. I so appreciate your educational and motivational videos. It makes sooo much sense and it is easy to understand for beginners too. I listen to them, make notes and as I try to implement them I also share them with my teacher. Again, thank you for this video, and the others too-and I am very thankful to have found you on KZbin. 🙂🙏.

Mark, I love everything about your presentation, educational techniques & your humble/non-egotistical positive approach. I have also been singing for over 45 yrs. and totally agree with you that the internet is a fantastic tool for continual learning which is a life-long process. Also, I tell so many people that they can sing if their mind will allow them. Thank you for verifying my belief on this. I am self-taught, but have learned so many things from you that have definitely helped me to enhance my ability. Oh, by the way..I did buy your book many years ago when it first hit the book stores. It is fantastic & I highly recommend it to singers of any caliber. Thank you Sir!

[@akustickesrdce4690]

Thanks Mark for the tip, just in time. Could I just ask you if you have ever came accross a student who put a lot of time, energy into singing and just "was not meant to be a singer". As I feel right now. There are times I feel great progression, but things like weather changes, pressure of performing or just life stressors get me down & no matter how slowly I warm up, my voice just does not cooperate with me. Lack of consistency & stamina sees to be getting in a way of me booking regular gigs. Thanks a lot for your videos, however, you are really inspiring teacher. Peter

[@voicelessondotcom]

Your struggles are exactly what I dealt with - the only difference is that I had to keep performing in order to eat. So I slugged it out on stages each night and developed consistency and stamina while gigging instead of waiting to get better before booking regular gigs. I know it seems counter-intuitive but diving in is the best way to learn.

[@akustickesrdce4690]

Thanks, makes sence. This is the route I have not thought of. BTW your new songs with the guitar guy sound great.

[@maryamzahid5149]

Hi Mark.those are great tips!!! I'm a beginner into this singing journey.I just started singing about a month ago but ' ve been vocalizing for very long.l do that humming exercise on your channel every day. I could sustain the hum for 15 secs but now I find it difficult, my voice breaks alot,maybe I'm adding more pressure and also at the start of the hum for few secs no sound comes out and I ve to put tiny effort to make humming sound.Maybe my voice is in bad condition. Should I stop singing and just vocalize.??? It's really hard for me not to sing. It's just my passion. I can't imagine not singing!!!! Maybe there's a better way.... Your advice would really be appreciated!!!

[@voicelessondotcom]

It may be allergies, diet, sleep, stress, etc. effecting your voice. As long as you are approaching the hum gently it's OK to continue. Remember it's OK to sound bad - but it's not OK to feel bad. So don't push or force your voice to make it sound better.

[@maryamzahid5149]

@@voicelessondotcom thank you so much.It mean alot!!!! But there are so many people who sing all day long without caring about sounding bad, they never damage their voice by doing that so but some have damaged their voice???? Why do some people feel strained after singing for few mins????

[@voicelessondotcom]

@@maryamzahid5149 Because there's a big difference between feeling bad and sounding bad. People that strain after just a few minutes are usually very insecure - and so they worry more about sounding bad and disregard what their body is telling them.
