[@kianstorr8878]

Questions. How long is one supposed to do these exercises for ? How do you know their working ? And should your throat hurt in the beginning ?

[@Geraet]

finally a video where someone talks about what you ACTUALLY do while talking. there are lots of videos that do explain the science behind the voice, but when it comes to practice they just give you some mental model about what you should think of so your body does what you want them to do, well how am I going to troubleshoot with that? you on the other hand actually explained what muscles I use and how I should use them. I'm guessing after some practice controlling the vocal folds properly will feel as natural as controlling your hand movements Thank you, you helped me out alot!

[@SpringChickensOnlyMan]

If anyone remembers the voice where only a subtle amount of sound passes through causing the voice to sound strained and distressed. I always found doing that to be a heck of a challenge because it requires the right compression. Compress them too much it interrupts the vocal cord airflow by squeezing the gate way. Don’t compress them enough and it’ll just sound like an average compressed voice. Always hurt my throat trying to do that so I take a break and stop after a few attempts. Certain performances involved with character voices sure strain your throat a lot

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Interesting perspective @Ladykiller Awesome. -NYSC

[@trigger455]

Vocal fry?

[@chrisphillips9331]

My voice tends to crack a lot on the voice wave, and occasionally on the decompression/compression power slides... Do you have any tips for avoiding this, or just keep practicing? P.S. Thanks for all the helpful videos! I've been learning a lot from them

[@gabe7622]

I think it might be because your running out of breath later in the exercise so try to take deeper breaths or maybe try raising or lowering the pitch of the hum slower These are just guesses, they may not work.

[@Yahalom-ih3hn]

Thanks so much! How do we incorporate these into our singing where there’s actually words or does it just come naturally once we practiced these techniques?

So I’ve been trying to learn how to manipulate my voice for a while now including vocal cry growls you know all that good stuff but I’ve only been able to inward growl, gutter roll and scream. The second you said I would be able to vocal fry and make that crackling noise I tried and was able to do it for the first time ever I was tripping out like wow dude I did not know the exercises i’m really could give you a wide range to work with like that I honestly thought it was like first simply not straining your voice or damaging it

Hi Brendan!! Thanks a lot for doing these Component Focus series, you are giving us great value!! Thanks! I need them for my singing most of all! I have a question I just watch your new video about the larynx (Component Focus #2), in which you said that the larynx isn’t a pitch changer, which I totally agree with you, but in Exercise #3 at 7:30 when you show us how to do the exercises with decompressed, compressed and vocal fry sounds I saw you raised your larynx, of course this video was before your new one about the larynx, so I’m assuming that now we should do exercise #3 without raising the larynx, am I right??

I was thinking about buying your vocal course and was wondering will it help with vocal impressions

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hi @--! The vocal course is actually from Justin Stoney, the owner of New York Vocal Coaching. He focuses more on singing so it would most likely not help with vocal impressions, though he does teach you how to sing different styles of music, which could be useful in learning how to control your voice better.

I believe I was talking about at 3:20 how we can see his larynx "rising " with the pitch wave but then unless pointless, unsafe, once the larynx is risen you can still feel a stretching, pulling, inhaling or ?
