Ophiuchus. It WILL come, just be patient and get enough practice in. Every singer goes through a stage when they think they won't "get there". Always keep your face and jaw as relaxed as possible.

how does she transition from head voice to louder??? i get stuck

[@mister.9909]

U might be singing in falsetto, not in head voice

[@rmcneil1340]

use middle voice it's between head and and chest

[@bettyjohoadley6566]

When I first started practicing with an open throat, my throat got sore because I was not relaxing. But today, I finally relaxed my throat enough that it felt wonderful. One thing I did not realize is that when your throat relaxes you can actually feel it relax. It feels comfortable. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@mallory3364]

Yooo ok so i was singing some karaoke and everytime i sing ballads like hopelessly devoted for example, and everytime i wanna sing the chorus, i sound so closed up and theres SO MUCH tension in my throat. Then i remembered that on some youtube videos that i watched they always say to open the throat so i tried to and OH MY GOODNESS I COULD SING THE CHORUS SO GOOD AND I HAD THAT OPEN SOUND AND THE RINGING SHES TALKING ABOUT IM SO PLEASED WITH MY SELF

[@KaisaSalonpaa]

+issa ismail I have the same problem when I'm singing with mix. If I sing Ee the sound is clear and loud and quite awesome. My larynx is pretty relaxed too. But when I sing uu or aa my voice is weak and sounds stupid and my larynx is in higher position than when I'm singing ee. Why? Why it has always felt (in mixed voice) like there's something on the way? I can't sing great in mix because the sound is weak and it doesn't come out like I think/feel it should in my head. Could someone help me please?

[@mattie4231]

Singing with an open throat is best, but you're doing it wrong. Drop your jaw, then inhale with an abdominal breath, then exhale using the abdominal muscles, then immediately after you feel air move through your throat, make the sound (whatever note you want to hit). That's how opera singers sing and it's the most healthy way to sing. It's how women can be louder than an entire orchestra and go on for an hour with their throats being just fine. Your throat should never hurt after singing and your voice should never sound raspy after singing no matter how loud or how long. Even the Army teaches this by instructing soldiers in march to let a breath out and connect it with notes otherwise, you'll hurt yourself.

[@sumljivi]

I fail see how she is not doing what you are saying.

This was extremely helpful, thank you!! I think I’ve bee singing with a closed throat this entire time. I believe a lot of that is from lack of confidence and singing with a closed throat sort of keeps you in that safe zone, if that makes sense. I’m really going to work on this!!

[@AndiLawson27]

I keep watching this and can't figure out when or where you actually tell how to open the throat? I feel like I'm missing something important 😞

[@andreadventure3047]

well, to know opening throat you simply open your mouth wide and hold your nose and try to breath just using your mouth, and there you go, you opened your troath. because when you breath with your mouth, the air will pass to your troath. But this is not an excercise though.

Hi Freya. I wanted to ask you a question. I was taught to keep my tongue flat but I realised that when you sing (especially high notes) you don’t keep your tongue flat? Why is that?

I don’t find opening my throat an easygoing experience for me, because I learned how to do that in middle 🏫 when I took a Choir class in the 7th Grade. I learned the same thing in elementary 🏫 back when I participated in the chorus. When I sang “Ice on her Lashes” by Brooke Fraser on Zoom in January 2021, I had to open my throat toward the song’s resolution for the “Isn’t it?” part for a total of 5️⃣ minutes or less within the ballad’s running time. 👍🏻 if you tried before on karaoke segments.

Hey Freya , nice video! I want to ask something. I sing a lot these days and yesterday I was singing almost all the day but my throat was open and I didnt feel any pain in my vocal cords . Today though i feel like my neck is tensed and also my resonating space is under my throat(actually it was all the time yesterday too and i couldn't get it to be forward in my mouth while singing) . I also realised today that i sing breathy as i get higher. Do you think it is overuse or vocal damage or did i do something incorrectly? Thank you.

[@cynthiadelphineasseguengue1879]

Hello freya I keep trying but I have have the impression that my voice is still blocked inside

[@rmcneil1340]

use middle voice. that's between head and chest voice

[@aacha548]

I"m looking at this again Freya. Its a great video. Now, I'm trying to sing opera and as yet I have not got much going on with my head voice. Its quite thin. I wonder if that tip you gave about "dislocating" the jaw at the hinge, is the thing I need to do to get the open throat going. Or have you got a more in-depth video on this topic. I'm a soprano. I'm just not getting anything exciting happening in my head voice. No richness and I'm frustrated because the yawn trick isn't working for me. I feel I need to do more than lift my soft pallette but I just don't know what else to do. Maybe you've already got a video on this topic.

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

This is a superb lesson Freya and I thank you very much for it. I am managing to keep my face and jaw very relaxed and I can feel and hear the improvements.

[@sunitsingh9182]

hi +Freya very informative video!! :) Got a question... When I try and create openness at the back of the throat, I feel like my tonsils close the back of the mouth. My tonsils are not infected/swollen. I am able to carry the sound into the pharyngeal/nasal cavities and get the 'ping'. But, are the tonsils sometimes an obstruction to creating an open space at the back of the throat ?

[@rebeca9920]

Wonderful advice! 😃 Your voice is beautiful! Thank you so much! ⭐️

[@genghis_connie]

I'm struggling to know where/how I can feel it. One of my vocal cords is about 50% paralyzed. It has changed everything. - there's no more muscle memory, and my voice, tone, pitch and control all feel "crippled.

[@honeysweetbunbun]

is singing with an open throat the same thing as singing with resonance (proper technique)?

[@honeysweetbunbun]

OurMoonlightBae -Math- the whole point of proper technique is to sing resonantly and preserve the voice lmao

I need help freya.. I want to become a singer so bad, but lessons are so hard to afford, and i need someone who is good enough to teach me how to get all of the crap out of the way.. would you consider helping me out? Even if it is just simply giving me stuff to practice, or sing, or whatever, i am like desperate to learn how to sing, and do it well.. i want to be a modern rock singer so bad.. like the band periphery. I need help, and i feel like I have no idea how to sing stuff i need to sing, or how to make it sound better, or good. everyone is so good, but i've studied like countless videos, and tips, and tricks, and i feel like i cant sing as good as i should be able to sing. when i sing high stuff, i have no idea what mixed voice should sound like on me, but i have a good feeling i am doing it all wrong.. and when i inhale into my stomach, diaphram, it's hard for me to know if im doing that right as well.. high notes are always high for me, and i see that you have this open sound, and it sounds like it should sound, balance, and not squished. what should i do? you can message me at [e-mail]
