Jessica, please use a lapel mic, as the voice is bouncing against the hard walls and floor before reaching the camera's mic.

I highly suggest you guys get your tongue to sit right before you take this course and have the epiphany it'll give you. When i got my tongue to sit right, I began breathing deeply without tension in the jaw throat shoulders or belly. The tongue(at least for me) probably needs to sit right At the same time, I had to watch this video to understand that you can actively place the tongue in the "right spot" but involuntarly flex it. I also had to watch this video to have the self realization that the tongue should be at the rough of the mouth but also should not be removed or seperated from the bottom of the jaw. (Which i did subconciously with the middle to end section of my tongue) I thought i was doing it properly for the longest time because I was in a weird mental and physical limbo, I felt relief, I felt things engage and it did help my singing. Now I know I'm not really supposed to notice anything the tongue is in the right spot and Its at rest, it basically fills my mouth compared to my tongue being slightly postured up. I realized doing this incorrectly was raising my larynx, that's not freedom No it doesnt sit up per say but it could move freely up and down or do whatever it needs to do which is more often than nothing or little to nothing now because its just in the right spot now. They often give you a tip as to swallow and relax your tongue and keep it wear it was placed toward the roof of your mouth. This will make you subconciously flex the middle of your tongue and it may or may make your tongue subconciously lean to far to one side. ( I say subconcious because you can be made aware that your doing these things if you just know what to focus on) When you hit these high notes with using these techniques right, you will instantly be shocked at the amouny of vibrato you have and the amount of control you have over it, you learn that there a bunch of difference ways to hit these notes and you have less resistance leading notes into each other than sorta falling out of it a little. The beginning and/or end of phrases aren't as monotone as before either. Im still struggle to belt following these techniques even when I listen to my body and attempt to tweak my approach etc but I am also convince that somewhere along my timeline of life, I started singing incorrectly and didnt notice. It was extremely easy to do as a child, now some things just dont work. I can't tell you what note is what but when I hear voices, instruments or really anything, I can tell what other range of notes its capable of. I know I can do more with my voice theres just a disconnect at the very last moment, just as I sing it, something is like physically stopping it.

When you changed your tongue position (mewing), you also have to consider the tongue root, the pharynx muscles, and all the neck muscles cause its all connected. So massage and do neck stretches until everything is reconfigured, not just the tongue cause you are still pulling everything else and its probably a bit short. Massage muscles connected to the hyoid bone on the neck, and stretch your soft palate by yawning. Also dont forget the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid. Other muscles will get stretched if you do exercises for a beautiful long neck. Search something related on youtube. You have to check your alignment cause it probably changed a bit too (ear-shoulder).

Yeah, thank goodness you’re bringing it to the masses!

Great stuff thanks for sharing this. I've been using the CVT app for a while to help my singing out and even the way they describe support is a bit of a mystery. They explain everything you've said in this video but seeing how you can engage parts of your abdomen to create that pressure is really valuable. Thanks!

WHAT ABOUT CALMING HEAVY BREATHING AFTER CONCERT BACKSTAGE FROM MOUTH BREATHING DOWN TO NORMAL NOSE BREATHING FOR FEMALE POP SINGER DANCER? DO YOU TEACH BREATH HEALING VAGUS NERVE RESET BREATHING?

Dude knows his stuff

Everytime you say impossible, I feel that you are trying to provoke violent reaction. How can you teach about nerve system, when you don’t know what nervechemical reactions you are delivering through your words. May be there is some truth in your information, but your method of delivery is provocative, which is very unpleasant and makes me to want to click away.

It's not made impossible because of the muscular-nervous system of the body. Its 'impossible' because of math and physics. In the same way it is physically (as in the science of physics) to press on one side of a balloon without changing the whole. Pressurizing a buoyant sphere in one location without it having an effect on the whole is impossible. But the main point I'm trying to make is that people tend to make this a lot more complicated than it needs to be- everything fires together as one!

Thanks, it seems to be good information about our voice production mechanisms.
