[@SpencerMusicSchool]

Want to thank you immensely Justin for your outstanding vocal videos. As a vocal industry coach myself.. one knows that most vocal coaches are locked at the piano having to accompany students, while trying teach correct breathing, resonance placing, intonation, etc. I love that I can cue up specific exercises quickly from your videos and have my students do them. I assign besides my own vocal exercises and breathwork and health maintenance many of your videos for homework. I have seen truly astounding breakthroughs with students.. All my students enjoy your fun and sometimes silly approach and the handsome Leo persona also helps... Like me you do your best to make singing fun while teaching the science of sound. I'm amazed how when I test my students on placement such as difference between chest, head, falsetto, etc they retain and understand. Keep up the great work, and my best to NYVC..and all my vocalists friends in NY on Bway, Opera and Cabaret/Jazz.

[@tiziananegrello537]

Hi, Justin! I'm Tiziana, an Italian singer and a vocal coach since years. I really want to thank you for your wonderful, enthusiastic support to me, and teaching me to explain better the wonder of singing to my students!! Sometimes it's so difficult to transmit and explain them some dynamics and singing concepts!?! Thanks to your explanations and support I can be more exaustive and deeper in my teaching them how to adquire the magic of the voice! Never found a singer or a vocal coach in Italy to explain singing like YOU do! But I'm sure you know this!! And for this reason I'm translating some of your episodes to my students, who don''t speak English, every time we need it. THANKS so much!! Love you for what you're doing!!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Wow! We will share your incredible comment with Justin! Thank you Tiziana! -NYVC

[@darksidessj25]

I'm currently working on Messa Di Voce. It makes your voice sound so freaking awesome. It's air control and chord closure working together in harmony. Lip trills helps you so well with under standing air flow. If you want to start to under stand this start there. I did lip trills 2 hrs a day at first and just lip trills tell I understood what they where doing.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Wow! That's dedication! -NYVC

[@Illuminouscatter]

notes I took to help you: Messa Di Voce is extremely coveted skill. It means sing one note soft to loud to soft. The five pillars of Messa DI Voce are: 1. Breath Control: not blast the air to achieve loudness 2. Pitch Control: trying to stay on same note 3. Compression control: soft sounds not be airy or even falsetto and loud sounds not to be squeezed at all 4. Larynx control: larynx tends to go lower when loud and high when soft. aim to minimize this as much as possible 5. Resonance Control: don't only go outward to get louder and stronger. increase resonance to increase volume Exercise: HAH-EH-EE-EH-HAH HAH Your videos have been so helpful. especially in this lonely time.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Thank you for this these amazing notes, Akilan! We're so glad you enjoy the show and that it has been life giving for you! 💙 -NYVC

[@childlikewoes12]

notes for myself messa di voce : to let your voice go from soft to loud important components - breath control - pitch control (be mindful because it tends to be hard when doing the same pitch) - compression control - larynx control (minimizing laryngeal movement)

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

😃 -NYVC

[@Nailgunskater]

I'm a Lyrical Tenor. I can do the Pitch part OK, I can fight tension in the voice as I go up in volume, however: I feel like the difference between soft and loud is really small. I know breath control can help this some. I definitely support my singing from below. Dramatic singers have 0-10 range and I feel like I have 0-3! I know that doesn't really matter. Microphones help! I'll work on it more! Thanks for another amazing video.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Messa Di Voce will really help you, Nail! -NYVC

[@charlievan4029]

Justin, you are the bomb! So much stuff I didn't know. All of it spot on and so practical. I have sung for years. Popular music on stage, and worship music in church. Even have taken lessons over the years. Never learned any of the intense technique you espouse. You know so much, and all of it legit, not bs. Thank you so much. I am a 58 yr old male, and I, like so many of us, try to sing the high stuff (Journey, Foreigner etc). I suspect at this age, it is not realistic to think I could or should be able to do that effectively. What say you?

[@SAZIZMUSIC]

Now i understand why does Andrea Bocelli sounds so heavenly!!

[@GIjoeFan1976]

And he is definitely A god! And a gift from GOD... I only learned about this when I sang you raise me up...and the very last UP a sang like this! My teacher didn't tell me what this was or meant so I didn't know it was a technique....another program teaches this but differently than how he is doing it here both are I am sure going to be beneficial now that I can use both of these...so great as offen as he does in these videos that he shows the uses in songs! He is truly a blessing! Oh so it's a crescendo and a decrescendo?

[@malgosianowak]

Great lesson! Thank you. And enjoyed your sense of humour so much!

[@orionsector]

Interesting...I didn't know this was a "thing". I'm pretty sure I can do this myself. Never really thought anything of it... Now that you describe this technique, my 2 favorite singers of all time, Josh Groban is very good at this. Also, Whitney Houston in her prime.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

So glad it's helpful! -NYVC

[@AlexiosPsy]

I actually used this technique when I was practicing "On The Street Where You Live", and didn't even know it had a name. 😅 It's very helpful with some traditional musical theatre songs, when you need to find the balance between lightness and strength. Instead of making the chorus sound too belty or too weak, I was using Messa Di Voce. 😁

[@hikeoganessian1482]

This lesson was especially important for me because of it's need in church solo's (Orthodox Christian chants and song prayers).. I 'll have to look into your home study lessons....I have bought many others already, but you seem to speak in an expression of simple science..... and you make science as a background when you put the entertainment element of the explanation, including the inclusion of you palm and piano, at the front of your presentations.. Anyways it keep me interested and I am using your ideas such as using gween gween as a tool for practicing. Thanks again to you and your team Jason..

I cant' sing but this info is very useful to me

[@instantopera]

Hi ! Thanks for your video. So for the soft sound, does it have to be some kind of head voice ? I often heard that singing piano requires a lot of support and abs, but it seems that when i do it doesn't require at all..

[@ananda_miaoyin]

I want to ask some direct advice. I am 18 months into training and cannot get past a g#4 using Messa Di Voce clean. Once I get to that A4 (you know, like in the last note in ´´Bring Him Home´´) and I try to do it quietly, my throat begins to strain. I can vocalize up to an F#5 - not pretty but it is David Lee Roth solid - but cannot get past a quiet A4. Please advise. This is the bane of my vocal instructor and myself! OK, so not really the bane of her, I am being a bit dramatic after today´s session. She is a coloratura soprano that buries Maria Callas on ´´Queen of the Night´´ and she is in her 60´s! So she really presses me to get high, in a musical sense. Thank you for any help and please know that you were my first resource back in January of 17. If anyone else has some solid advice on how to keep the throat relaxed at or above Tenor C, let me know!
