Daily Voice Strengthening 3: “Protect & Stabilize”

[@ericarceneaux]

Shared this on Instagram (@EricArceneaux), and many of you have requested repeatedly that I also repost these IGTV vertical vids here on KZbin as well. So I’ll keep posting these in between the full-production lesson vids, especially during this quarantine time. You can still book one-on-one lessons with me via Skype/Zoom/FaceTime. All the info is on my site www.AApproach.com

Im confused I can easily do the solar plexus tighten and concious use, but Im not sure what you mean in the video as how to use it. Its just confusing. Feels lost on me

[@randomguy5261]

Coach, why do I feel tired on my throat and stomach after singing a few words. It's really irritating 😅I wish you could help me

[@AdamIzzy]

BEST VOCAL TEACHER ON THE INTERNET. PERIOD.

[@ericarceneaux]

[@ralphbrown5183]

YASS HANDS DOWN

[@joemarlayos4832]

Yes

[@JustinNathanielAdams]

I just want you to know that your breathing videos have led me on a journey that has helped me greatly with overcoming anxiety and depression. So, thank you very much :)

[@ericarceneaux]

That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing that 🙏🏽🧡

[@generationidiot3949]

I'm someone who's been singing the wrong way for years, and really hurt my voice. These videos have actually helped me figure out a lot of what I'm doing wrong and how I can start to get better! Makes me less frustrated with myself when practicing.

[@TheStudioManila]

Eric is the Coach-Artist, not afraid to speak his mind. Great guidance!

[@ericarceneaux]

Thank you! 🙏🏽🧡

[@CECIDOVER]

hi Eric! im a vocal coach too and im in love with your way for teaching! Hugs from Barcelona

[@kate8336]

Thank you so much for this!! I'm singing some tougher songs at my youth group soon, and really needed some tips on grounding myself and protecting my voice in those higher notes/belting, making sure that every note is sung confidentally with support and power! This is so great. Thank you!

[@talkgooder]

I just want thank you so much for these videos. As a teenager I was known for having a good voice, but over years of smoking and bad technique I lost it totally. Now at 30 I decided during lockdown to try and get it back. I've been doing your work outs every day for a few weeks and not only am I back, I genuinely think I'm better than I was then! I'm singing songs that I couldn't even do at 16! Thank you so much!

[@evoj.]

“Effortless?…. Who told you that?? Not me”….lol! Always finding ways to make your students smile while delivering amazingly valuable info all the time. Thanks E! 🙏🏻💥😎

[@barborakafkovamusic]

You just confirmed my doubts about all the "belly breathing" technique. Thank you for proper explanation. This helps tremendously!!! Finally I can stand taller without tension, my voice is so much fuller and richer, I don't feel exhausted (in a bad way) after exercising and I feel like singing all the time:)

[@Genesis-nq9wj]

Omg... my singing went so much better watchin ur videos...this is a legit vocal coach...thanks Eric...dude i really love you from the Philippines.

[@raissamufuta2705]

Literally the BEST online vocal coach😩🖤

[@jhmn9000]

Erick you are my man, i have being watching your video like 2007, and i can testify that you have really improved my non singing voice to a singing one. One day when I come to America, I would really want to thank you in person and get to know you. Cheers bro

[@lcfanlo8878]

Best ever vocal trainor in youtube. he knows how to explain what to do in the most simplest and understandable way.

[@danieljones6077]

Thank you for your support and creative approach to helping us be the healthiest and best singers we can be.

[@colinbell-NI]

Thank you once again! I am reading David Jones book, and you have explained clearly and easily what I could not grasp from reading!

[@ericarceneaux]

I'm so glad! I think that the sensory discoveries you make from this lesson (I also recommend checking out/reviewing Parts 1 & 2) will give you even greater insight into what David Jones has to say. 🙂

[@millionaire6849]

Even your speaking voice is clear and succinct. It's very lovely to listen to... 😊

[@ericarceneaux]

Thank you 😊

[@veroade2856]

Your videos have changed my entire life😭

[@founder2521]

I practice the first 2 videos for a week but this was Key to helping understand the true gift we can access if we want. Thanks you so much!! Unlocked

[@dawidszwaj1644]

Honestly the best vocal teacher I have ever come across!! Thank you so much Eric

[@jruss5414]

Eric I want to say as an amateur singer as well as someone who's watched you over the years of youtube thank you for your wisdom and passionate lessons. They have really progressed my voice and character as a singer and I appreciate so much your hardwork in mentoring people that you haven't even seen or met yet. Hopefully in the future I can take my singing to the next level on the stage as well as get personal sessions to better the quality and health of my voice. We appreciate all that you and want you to always stay motivated doing the thing you love. Sincerely A fan/student.

[@actress321]

When I tell you that I literally... LITERALLY just asked this question as I was going through your previous video. Thank you!! I can do everyone's Warm-up, Vocalization, and Practice to a "T", but when I go to sing, it sounds (and feels) like I never ever learned these concepts. I was giving up, but I am going to push through. I also know its muscle memory and knowing what these things feel like in your body so that you can feel them when you sing. SO, that definitely means I must keep routinely doing this.

[@ruelangelodesucatan8376]

Almost started crying fr, this unlocked everything for me. Of all the turorials I’ve seen you made my voice 100 times better in just 3. Thank you so much!

[@angeliqueburke1232]

How often do you practice? Do you do all 3 videos?

[@claudiabufali8543]

Thanks for the demonstration of what practice really looks like. I've been singing for years (with a lot of vocal effort) and recently started to improve my technique, and what surprised me the most was that after I decided I was going to start all over from scratch, I found that "simple things" ( like a two notes song in middle range) demanded me sooooo much physical effort and concentration, just like you showed. I hope I'm doing better now, time will show. Thank you very much for giving yourself :)

[@percysmash1801]

Wow 👏 these videos made me realize that I drop it all when I sing... thank you so much

[@stephaniewilkerson9204]

You are brilliant! You come across as highly intelligent and your sense of humor is very engaging- I found myself laughing out loud several times! Thank you for sharing these valuable exercises and skills with us! I feel like they will help tremendously.

[@consciousnowwhat7993]

Oh my!!! I used to watch your videos way back when... I believe 2008-2010. I just had this memory come back to me than the name... So I immediately looked it up... You haven't aged one bit! And still amazing content. Thank you very much for being. 🌱

[@annikakeller7286]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! These past 3 videos have literally been sooo helpful!!

[@Lovergirlstudiio]

Eric your are just brilliant, Thank you so much for your great work all these years!

[@charlisparkles]

[@normaaraujo2298]

Best and beautiful vocal teacher.🥰

[@LB-gl8gy]

Thank you for these lessons. They make such a difference :)

[@dhaizemc3666]

Eric A. Is one of my fave coaches. 💗

[@ZoeyAlexandria]

Mindfulness, Is what I tell my students! (7:15) I had a come to Jesus moment when you said “mindfully sing it”, so so true!

[@YouDunKnoww]

Hey Eric.. been using your popular 3 part vocal exercises since I started taking my voice seriously years ago and they are my staple warmups so thank you! ...in one of your videos you spoke about having developed your natural speaking voice and how its has changed over time. I was wondering if you could do a whole video about this please as it would be great to have an in-depth explanation of your journey and some lessons around developing ones speaking voice along side the singing based stuff. Thanks.. blessings and love to you and thanks again for your dedication to helping people with their voices.

[@esiracastillo]

This video is the talent injection. Thank you!

[@navigatorpe8010]

Thank you so much for your guidance with singing. Makes so much sense.

[@deannasolarez7713]

Thanks your helping me and this is my first video watching!!!

[@maduroholdings]

I just want to co sign some of these strategies and methods, when I first signed up for his program I wasn’t really developed and could not notice any real difference. But now after two years I can see how much better I sing when I apply his methods.

[@JoePhillingham]

Hey! thanks for all the lessons eric, seem to have hit a wall recently, been practicing like crazy, 8 hours a day maybe, and have gotten a lot better but still struggling, especially when singing over an instrumental, I appreciate all the videos a lot

[@ericarceneaux]

Those hit-a-wall moments are definitely part of the process. Just make sure that you're listening to your body and honoring when it's giving you signals that it needs rest 🙏🏽

[@xtina1fan]

You’re awesome, thank you so much Eric 💕🌷

[@aniyomusic4579]

Thank you with heart.

[@Wabbsg1]

Wow, thanks. Very informative, been doing it from the belly

[@acejardinero6771]

Dad: hv u been attending ur online class? Me: *watching Eric's* of couurse 😍

[@La-Tiaxscorpio]

Youve changed my voice crazy..... I went 40 years singing in the key of J lol as my jazz singing mother would say I think she told me that thing he doesn't come naturally for everyone... Thank u I think better than her

[@paplinahRordgeKhoza]

Thanks for sharing... It is very helpful

[@PortfolioGaram]

Thank you so much sir...you helped me alot

[@waymakersfun-time3930]

I always believed that it was coming from your core space. Strong core, good breathing. I hear many singers trying to sing through their upper body and the sound Nasal and they have sore throats. Teachers used to poke you in the stomach as you sang to see if your breathing and core were on point.

[@ritaniaa6157]

I have a problem with pitch, i am not tone deaf but when i record myyself i really sound flat or sounda like monotone...I have done your lip trills and breathing and it helped me a lot but pitch is something i find hard and not sure what to do to imporve it

[@darlenecarruthers-shelton837]

Thank You!!!

[@lauraevans4317]

Awesome thank you 😊

[@rhanzdanielaquino9245]

Sir, pls teach us how to sing the vowels. Its so hard to pronounce vowel especially in highnotes...

[@barborakafkovamusic]

Im up for that as well!

[@goodnamesaretakenkp]

It's heeeeere. You're heeere yes

[@creative1976]

Thank you very much shared...like

[@juliannemercado4232]

where is part 4 please?

[@donaldcarter2011]

Off topic, but I was just listening to a guest -- a Michael Arceneaux -- on NPR's "Fresh Air" and wondering if that was your brother. If so, he was quite articulate and engaging.

[@ericarceneaux]

Ironically, I do have a brother named "Michael Arceneaux". But the author you're referring to is of no known relation to me, though I suspect we might be cousins 😅 . lol

[@vicbolotaolo5451]

Hi Eric! Thank you so much for your videos I am improving and have been learning a lot from it. I am self taught and a beginner in singing. I have this one concern. Every time I push(use) my abdomen I'm feeling tighness in my throat but I'm not feeling any strain and it even sounds clearer when I record myself. Is the tightness healthy? Thank you so much and may your channel grow more...

[@ronkingston]

hi Eric love your videos. What are your thoughts on diet for singers? herbs, vitamins etc?

[@newtoatheism5968]

I’m still having problems with the chest thing

[@K_thedub]

Look how good he look

[@BeingZinhle]

Why do i feel strain when I'm trying get my epigastrium to push out? Am I pushing out to hard, because my throat ends up wanting to tighten up

[@RasulHall]

I've been doing my vocal and I also have been doing Opera and stuff I know on your thing it said you can do this but if you injure you was on your own😂. I think I've been practicing to much

[@newtoatheism5968]

I’m still a little confused and I still can’t do the raspberry trill

[@nathan_falkon36]

So the secret is almost literally sing with your heart (solar plex) hahaha

[@lauraward4886]

Where did part 4 go? :(

[@thekaliko]

thank you for all your info on YT!!! can one sing in a high chest belt and still have whistle notes?

[@TheBriz5]

This is good stuff

[@EndingTimes0]

My voice skips like a record at a certain point and I cant fix it. I think my vocal cords are screwed.

[@mrunfunny]

Thankyou Umesh Yadav.

[@morewithdee]

Hey Eric .i want to learn how to sing in High pitch bcaz i face a problem singing high notes and also find it difficult to find my natural tone .Also i want to sing as high as you do caz it sounds so perfect.Could you help with exercises or make a vidoe on it plzzzzzz its a humble request

[@Splaze]

Hi Eric! I need a little help months ago I did a NG sound warm up and it hurt, it feels like it's a guitar string hurting your fingers. It still there when I hit a certain note. I tried vocal rest for a month, but it's still there. What can I do to fix it? Thanks I love you..

[@guydylan123]

I Start at 4:15

[@quadsmash516]

Hey Eric..how to sing in lower head voice powerfully..it gets very breathy

[@ericarceneaux]

Typically if your lower head voice notes are very breathy, your body is trying to tell you that you need to mix. Check out this vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqrJpZiCgtSKj68

[@Joeyhdz]

6:02 “you know” ahhAHHH

[@elina2781]

A silly question but do you think it is fine exercising and engaging the solar plexus spot if you have pectus carinatum condition when the ribcage is naturally outwards since childhood, so when I do this exercises it goes even more outwards but it does help a lot for my voice.

[@joebonsaipoland]

Good stuff ! How to try out to be in your next albums?

[@normim7111]

How do you keep your self from tensing up?

[@RasulHall]

Because I also do do artwork is this too much strength on my to practice with so many vocal training lessons

[@ДенисКнязев-г1й]

Thank YOU for your videos! Now i know a lot of things that i have never been told about the breath technic. I began to do exercises that you give but now i have some questions about it: 1) if i study in operating singing is it possible to use this method of breathing? 2) today i tried to sing at the full voice with a new way of the breath after doing "z" and "ss" exercises and the voice began to sound in another way. The sound is more focused and strong and i like it but at the transition notes i had some problems. I am a tenor and at usual i made covering just aiming the note at the nasal zone. And i understand that it is not correct for professional singing. Today with your exercises the voice is more freedom and full but the way i did the covering does not work anymore. When i try to do this the voice is hoarsely(at the Gb and G) but the solar plexus is working like at the "zzzz" exercise. Please help me if you can what should i do at this situation? THANK YOU !!!
