Bravissima nelle spiegazioni.lezione preziosa.Grazie!!!!😊

It is another confirmation for me, that this aproach works.I was thought by my teachers that supporting the sound is about engaging my abdominal muscle and push down if that make any sense (to avoid tension int the larynx). I was complatly ignoring my intercostal muscle (becouse of the fear to singign in the trhout)and only use my belly.When i try more intercostal breathing , it turned out that i was actually a tenor, not a baritone. I feel a litlle bit cheated and i am slowly learning a new way, and video like this are very helpfull and give me hope , that i choose a right path, thank you !

[@sevanasalmasi]

I very glad to hear that you found the intercostals again. The Breathing in process is all about the rip cage, but the breathing out (singing) is all about the lower abdominal muscles and the cooperation with both, the breathing in muscles and breathing out muscles.

[@cantorcarmen]

You can be both a baritone and tenor.

[@majkkruszon6780]

@@cantorcarmen maybe, but from my experience, voice forming diffrently when you work at particullar tessitura, so it would be hard.

[@blazindav]

Can you explain how you found how to engage the intercostal muscles?

[@majkkruszon6780]

@@blazindav I try to imagine the air filling my chest and my ribs expanding sideways. You can exercise by tying a resistance band around your chest and breathing slowly, you feel the resistance and you are sure that these muscles are engaged. I don't mean a shallow breath where your shoulders are floating, but a full breath in which your entire lungs are engaged, three-dimensionally.

I just love you❤you are very good in explaining this breathing technique so easyly and much clear. You are a God sent. God bless you for sharing your experience

[@sevanasalmasi]

Thank you you so much for your comment. I was so. Happy to read your lines. i am trying my best to make it simple… and logical..

[@buddhistsympathizer1136]

Thank you so much for this video and your instruction. I understand it fully. This has been a revelation for me . . . someone who 'drops' or 'lacks' support . . . particularly for high or prolonged notes. I had a bad habit of making 'pianissimo' an excuse to drop support. I realise this is wrong. Keeping a degree of tension (opposing muscles) whilst singing enables me to sing fully, freely including belting or reducing volume . . .

Black top is difficult to see the stomach motion. Medium colour and tighter top would be helpful.

[@jotge.3444]

Wenn der Ansatz oben nicht stimmt, dann nützt auch die Stütze nichts. Stütze ist kein Allheilmittel es ist nur eine Unterstützung.

[@sevanasalmasi]

@@jotge.3444 aber guter Stimmbandschluss ist ein Allheilmittel. der Ansatz ist direkt bei dennStimmbändern. alles andere sind Metaphern.
