Every time I watch one of your videos, I get to the end of it and have to send more thankyou's your way. I've applied this, and once again, it just works and has fixed more issues with my singing. I relax, I breath, and I talk in a higher voice and then I just sing in that voice with a lean and I'm free in my range. I'm hitting higher notes than ever before, but there is no throat action, no pushing, it's just such a lovely feeling, so thankyou once again.

[@MichaelGowland]

Thank you so much for this. For years the tip of my range was D4, with a lot of work I managed to get it up to a dodgy f4, and could get to G4 with an unusable level of strain. Every instruction I had received seemed to be about strengthening the breath, and though they talked about control it really wasn't clear how to do it. This video made it all so much clearer and using the reverse abdominal breathing really does give that control. I just hit A4#, and sang the top note in Bridge Iver Troubled Water without much effort or strain. It has completely changed my ideas about my voice and I can now see that even a usable C5 is probably achievable in time, instead of straining up to anything above D4 in unlistenable tension. It has also improved my general pitch, tone and passage over the break. Much appreciated.

[@Vidyut_Gore]

I'm more an enthusiastic singer. Very low pitched voice for a woman. I'm not a bad singer, but I make it worse by having an addiction for difficult, technical songs (Hindustani classical music) so what little I know is usually inadequate for what I am attempting. The songs I really enjoy singing are always the ones I haven't managed to sing well yet. It is like a puzzle - how to make this happen. I would sound much better if I sang easier songs. I may not have the reach or skill/speed and sometimes my voice renders more an approximate "vocal scribble" than clear notes in difficult parts. Your videos made me realize that I do some of the things you suggest - resonance around the eyes/forehead, paper doesn't move when I sing, etc - I think this makes me sound like a much better singer than I am. Makes my singing sound authoritative when it is often inaccurate.

[@user-of4kk4in9f]

Here's a new spin on old ideas: I read your book but I do believe I CAN let air seep out of my chords without breath coming out. I just let the air seep out like smoke under a door. The tissue exercise only proves there was no fire or explosion. Just because a doctor couldnt see breath moving thru the vocal chords only proves the breath wasn't in motion. As someone who does the candle exercise correctly, it feels like the doors are hanging open and the air is clearly dispersing as i eventually run out of breath, but the breeze isn't blowing: because there's zero pressure. No air movement does not mean no air escape.

[@DiemerDavid]

I watched a video the other day from a "professional opera singer and vocal coach," not Michael, and he said that an opera tenor should have a "bite" to his notes, so he recommended that the tenor needs to sing partially nasally to get that extra "ping" to the voice. After watching and learning from Michael, that other guy is just plain wrong. Michael's "Divine Puzzle in 4 Parts" speaks completely contrary to this, and this video focuses on the 4th part of his Divine Puzzle, Resonance. Following Michael's instructions, I rarely have trouble with resonance. My fellow singers ask me how I can create such overtones (for those who know what to listen for) in my voice - and it's all due to Michael's instructions. BTW, I have never heard my overtones; I just know when I sing properly that it will be resonant.

Thank you for this, I’m a rock singer whose trying to learn classically because I assume it would help a lot to know the technique from true masters

[@jorgemartinez42069]

Michael is an expert, and I have no room to speak with any authority on the subject; these techniques may very well be superior to how rock singing is taught by many modern teachers. However, I have to say that Michael is an expert at singing opera where amplification is not usually involved. Because of this, certain techniques have been developed to help carry the voice over the orchestra without a microphone. But rock music has amplification built into the DNA of the music and as such doesn't have the same concerns. Because of this, some of the focus of Michael's technique, while potentially useful to rock singers, may not help develop your voice in the same way that the rock singers you like developed theirs. Opera has the benefit of hundreds of years of refinement and formal education built around it to refine the technique over time. Rock is newer and more "DIY" in a lot of ways, so there is a lot of bad information out there. *However*, that doesn't mean that classical techniques are inherently better, at least in my opinion. It just means that rock vocals are different and might take more experimentation and sorting through bad technique and bad teachers. I would say find a teacher who's vocal style you really like and learn from them rather than focusing on a certain style just because you think you should or because people say it's inherently "better." I am working towards rock singing as well and love Michael's videos, though. It's always interesting to hear different approaches to see if there are things I can take away and apply to a different style.

I also red your book (and the books of Caruso and Tetrazini). I practice breathing the way you show it And I was wondering if you could clarify something ? that is what should we feel in the lower abdomen or not when exhaling ? Do we have to engage any of the low abdominal muscles (oblics, transverse, pelvis ...) or should they spontaneously participate to some extent in appogio technique just with correct posture ? Thank you in advance Looking forward to watching your next video.

Your demonstration of the covered, thick, fat sound on high notes at the 5 minute mark basically represents 100% of Sherrill Milnes technique. He had the biggest career of any baritone of the last generation. It's a shame that good singing does not always equal a good career, and especially vice versa. Companies seem to prefer to hire bad singers lately.

Maestro, I still don't understand how to take that chest voice, or what to call it, through and above the passagio. It's easy to go from falsetto to chest voice, as you demonstrate, but the breath does not automatically make it possible to reach the high notes, without going back into falsetto. The voice does NOT go up there by itself. What is the secret?

[@melissabianchini7870]

Would not the defective manners of speaking have the same characteristics of defective singing timbre: nasal or gutteral?

Also the question should you sing Wagner. I would say from this video definitely the tenor from Dutchman, or Rheingold could be possible, imo at least. Also meistersinger. Heppner successfully sang stuff like that and he always described himself as a loud lyric tenor.

He sang Walther von Stolzing.

[@alcoyot]

Thanks sir. Very informative and this totally adds up to my experience of singing. I have one question that irks me. I always hear about filling up part of the lung. I’m a scientist and one of the defining gas properties, is that when a gas enters a container, it spreads equally throughout the space. So it always raises a question when I hear about breathing into a certain part of the lung. Thoughts?

Maestro, I have a question. When trying to reach a high note, how do we limit or eliminate any muscle use in the throat, since usually I try to reach a high note, I have to use pressure on my neck.

Even a tiny bit of air is hurtful if it comes out if we sing?

a small amount of breath leaking through the sound will eventually create nodules on the vocal cords. a large about can cause nerve damage or cause big nodes that must be treated extensively or removed surgically which can ruin the voice like Lyonel Richie or Adele. so, don't leak air, ever, and thet goes for speaking, too.

Thank you so much again! There's a moment that's got me wondering, you said for every action there's a reaction, so breath deep to sign high, does that mean it can help a little to breath "higher" (if that makes sense) to sing lower. I find it very challenging to sing some low notes, not that they are way too low, it's just that it's harder to control the amount of air going out on some low notes, I try to breath just like you teach all the time, so do you have any tips?

[@Tenoretrimble]

TOMMY, THE IDEA IS NOT FOR YOU TO FIND A WAY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT TO DO THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE DESCRIBED OR DIRECTED BY GREAT SINGERS. CARUSO SAID IN HIS BOOK VERY CLEARLY TO PULL THE ABDOMEN INWARD WHILE INHALING. I ASKED A PULMONOLIGIST WHY WOULD CARUSO HAVE DIRECTED US TO DO IT THAT WAY. HIS ANSWER WAS, "YOU CAN DOUBLE THE CAPACITY OF YOUR LUNGS THAT WAY BY CONSTANTLY USING MORE COMPRESSION TO EXPAND THE RIBCAGE AND THE LUNGS, ESPCEIALLY OVER TIME. THE MORE BREATH YOU HAVE IN YOUR LUNGS WHILE SINGING OR SPEAKING, THE BIGGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL YOUR VOICE WILL BE." IT REMINDED ME OF ADVICE GIVEN TO THE YOUNG SINGERS BY THE MOST FAMOUS SINGERS IN THE WORLD AT THAT TIME. THE SAYING WAS POPULAR A THE.METROPOLITAN OPERA WHEN I WAS IN THE KATHRYN LONG SCHOOL THERE (1959-1964). THE ADVICE WAS "THE BIGGER THE DRUM, THE BIGGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THE SOUND WILL BE." A FLUTE MAKES A FULLER SOUND THAN A PICCOLO, AND A CLARINET MAKES A FULLER SOUND THAN A FLUTE. A SAXOPHONE MAKES A BIGGER SOUND THAN A CLARINET, ETC. A TROMBONE MAKES A BIGGER SOUND THAN A TRUMPER, ETC. YOU GET THE IDEA. IT IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST ADVICE TO IGNORE WHAT THE GREATEST SINGERS TELL US. THEY ROUTINELY SANG THE BIGGEST, MOST DEMANDING REPERTOIRE FOR 50 YEARS OR MORE AND SANG A VERY LONG LIST OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ROLES. RICHARD TUCKER SANG MORE THAN 50 ROLES UNTIL HE DIED OF A. HEART ATTACK AT AGE 66. HE WAS A JEWISH CANTOR, ALSO, AND SANG THAT MONTROUS REPERTOIRE FOR A LIFETIME, ALSO. HE WAS ONE OF THE SINGERS WHO WAS MOST WILLING TO DISCUSS VOCAL TECHNIQUE WITH THE YOUNG SINGERS IN THE MET SCHOOL. HIS FAMOUS ADVICE WAS THE SAME AS GIOVANNI MARTINELLI'S WHO DIED AT AGER 77 AND WAS STILL SINGING AT THE MET!.. "BREATHE BEHIND YOU AND SING IN FRONT OF YOU!". THEY SUCKED THE BREATH INTO THE LOWER BACK ALL DAY WITH EACH INHALATION AS DID JUSSI BJOERLING, CESARE SIEPI, GIORGIO TOZZI, BIRGIT NILSSON AND MANY OTHERS. WE MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO TO THINGS THE MODERN, AMERICAN WAY LOOKING FOR EFFICIENCY AND QUICKNESS, BUT TO DO THINGS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE WAY THE OLDEST, MOST SUCCESSFUL SINGERS DID THEM. HELGE ROSVAENGE DID 3 HOURS OF YOGA BREATHING EVERY DAY AND SANG EVERYTHING BUT THE BIGGEST WAGNER ROLES AND PERFORMED EVERY NIGHT FOR 53 YEARS! ROBERT MERRILL DID 2 HOURS OF YOGA EVERY DAY AND SANG UNTIL HE WAS 88. I'M 86 NOW AND MERRILL, WHO WAS MY FAVORITE BARITONE, WAS STILL SINGING LEAD ROLES WHEN HE WAS OLDER THAT I AM! ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU WILL EXPAND AND DEVELOP YOUR BREATHING WITH. EVERY INHALATION YOU TAKE. AS LAURITZ. MELCHIOR SAID TO ME, "YOU ARE GOING TO BREATHE ANYWAY. WHY NOT BREATHE THE CARUSO WAY?" ALL FOR NOW. I HOPE THIS NOTE WILL GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON WHY WE BREATHE THE WAY WE DO, IF WE DO. MICHAEL T
