HOW TO SING WITH AN OPEN THROAT

[@jimmybiangco7272]

The very best video out there to describe open throat singing technique. She doesn't hold back and is very thorough. No frills, no junk, no bias...this is straight-ahead fact. Thanks a million, Freya!!!

[@rjrz33]

My jaw, and back of throat, often aches when singing. I think this is why - I sing with a tense, closed throat. This is helpful.

[@Tredecimus]

This is pure and solid gold if you want to improve your sound.

[@Betterdailyy]

Very true I’ve watched it 5-6 times

[@johnygemini6049]

It took me literally 3 hours to gain somewhat of a control over my throat, but it's finally clicking and I'm pumped to keep practicing. Already makes a huge difference in my sound and breath support. Thanks so much Freya, you are a Queen and a half

[@niggagaming249]

Hi, did this improve snoring at all

[@darrellmortensen9805]

Lol the snoring joke made me crack up! Lol

[@jvernice]

Three hours? Congrats. Some never get it.

3:57 when she said "Find your ah" ... i was not expecting her to just go yaaaaaaaaaa 😂😂

[@healingtaichi9667]

Freya: Your teaching is so sensational wonderful. I am amateur singer for many years and I am volunteer zoom teaching seniors singing English songs for over four years now. It is that your great inspirational , professional teaching set a marvelous example for me to share the music passion to people and bring the smile to senior's faces! Huge thank you to you-the best music teacher I have met in my life! And I recommended you to many my old students to watch your lovely clips.

Open throat, AH vowel and apoggio together are the key. My teacher learned this method in Germany 50 years ago from Gene Rabine (an American). I have not found any other teacher who teaches this. For me, never having been a singer, it was not quick and easy to learn a pure AH vowel. Now, when I get warmed up, it is the foundation for all singing. My teacher always repeated, and repeated, "listen to the AH" - it gives the flowing stream of sound on an uninterrupted column of air as the tongue forms the vowels without closing the "throat." The consonants are spit out quickly, and the flow continues. It is also very helpful for intonation.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

As a gigging singer, this video is simply outstanding. Watching this is like saving $200 (or more) on voice lessons. I consider this particular lesson a gift. I had to learn this skill is counterintuitive. Thank You Freya for such an excellent refresher and explanation.

[@stevieG.]

If you record yourself doing these exercises try to use an app that gives a graphic real-time display of the vocal signal on a timeline - you will notice where there are lighter grey area's these are the resonance and overtones you are creating when using the voice correctly.

[@stevieG.]

@@anjad8622 The one I have found to be the best and easy to use is EZ Voice by IK Mulitmedia US - It should be found on the Google play store app. In free mode you get a real-time display of your vocal in black and white with the mentioned 'grey' overtones - really useful - also, on my Samsung phone I can set the EZ to record and then start a backing track on youtube and it keeps recording even though you switch to KZbin. Then you can do your singing and maybe save the song and send it via multimedia to another device - hope this helps. ?

[@faithbwire9164]

Name of the app please?

Whats the name???

That Yawning was contagious like you said lol

[@D8vid_]

This video is gold. Thanks Freya. You're a great teacher.

[@jvernice]

It’s all about resonance. My teacher was very big on this. It was a game changer for me. Modifying vowels on specific pitches all of a sudden results in a volume increase. You hear it. You feel it. All of a sudden, it just clicks and makes sense.

[@amazingcabbage39]

When you said to yawn and it was contagious, i opened my mouth so wide and yawned so hard my eyes watered up

[@TheSubwaysurfer]

Thank you for finally explaining the concept of “open throat” in a clear idiot proof way that I could understand and grasp. Doing the exercise with you clicked instantly

[@ElizabethRegal1]

Beautiful! I’ve struggled with tightness in my throat coming from a Jazz background with my vocal folds more closed…go figure. My coach said I flutter the back of my tongue to try to control a wobbly vibrato that’s not natural. In actuality I just need to open the back my throat to get a smooth natural vibrato. I struggle with this the most as I’m preparing for a recital to sing a duet of Panis Angelicus. Thank you! I’ve seen many of your videos lately.

[@sosocool07]

This was so clear and easy to understand as a beginner. Thank you !

[@peterpan7919]

The most relevant video I have seen since 1 month ago. I started learning how to sing. Still no progress but maby this is a Good thing to work on.

[@blue4107]

How is it going?

[@Adiosumi]

I find this video super helpful to improve my spoken English, more specifically, the accent. I'm a non-native English speaker and I want my accent, which is quite narrow and thin, to sound native. I watched several English-learning videos and was told that AE accent tends to have a lower placement. Finally I realized it means it resonates more in the throat and chest. But except for going on a lower pitch, none of them showed a practical way to achieve it. I'm so glad I saw the step at 4:48. Use the muscles do produce a more resonant vowel sound and my pronunciation now sounds thicker. I think it's because my native language never needs to resonate a lot, I wasn't even aware of the muscles at that position. Thank you for making such a detailed video.

[@aryanarayne8543]

This Really helps. I'm in a blind choir and really appreciate it when you use words to describe where i.e. front throat and not say "here," which can't be seen, thanks.

[@raymonditi4596]

yeah this lady is good knows what shes saying

[@not_roseflower]

alternate title: making ppl yawn for 16 minutes

[@sherriroberts600]

Freya, it took me ten minutes to stop yawning 😵. Also, these exercises produce similar sounds to throat singing, I thought that interesting.

[@Betterdailyy]

This is what I was missing!!!! I sound so much better now with a round voice! Thank you

[@deisivicente3639]

reminds me of the vine with the kid with his basketball YAA

[@thefreyacaseymusic]

😃

[@jackreacher3499]

Yawning is great, and I think to open throat, there is also the "say ahhh and open wide" when you try to feed a kid, or when you go to the doctor.

[@nowisnownowismark8901]

Truly it’s these little things that are game changers

[@xinxinyuan7153]

Open the throat is very important for singer!!! Thank you so much,it’s really helpful!!

[@paulnordquist6893]

Wow, that was so cool to learn that I can see and feel (under my chin) the difference between an open throat and a closed, nasal tone. I first learned to sing an open-throat sound in combination with a lowered larynx, so I habitually do both together. I honestly didn't know those were two independent things! I'm now practicing to find my open-throat sound with a more natural position of the larynx.

[@janiceward2169]

Just found this video and Its 1am so sleep time Going to watch tomorrow because I always cough when I try to sing..!

[@chelseadaley9770]

I never had been taught the way your showing me right now but I just want to thank you for the advice

[@jjmagana1701]

[@jeanonofrietti8230]

Thankyou so helpful I will practice this a lot I sing in my church choir and a local chorus group and I strive to hit that last note

[@perezco1]

Freya, I keep coming back to this video because it is so clear and you can really see what is happening with your throat muscles which makes it easier to copy. At first my muscles just weren't strong enough, but now I can really do this and feel it and see it in the mirror. Thanks for being so open.

[@ايڤانا-ح1ز]

I really love you and love how to teach me

[@crazyhammie8864]

This was super fun, I laughed a lot trying to mimic you haha! I wonder what my neighbours think I do at 10 at night making weird sounds.

[@blessingmulu7831]

Your comment triggered me to

[@muemmelmarie108]

Always thought something must be wrong if I look like a frog while singing, but now I'm relieved that it actually indicates a somewhat good resonance. :D Thanks for all your great tips and explanations! :)

[@strangecatrowr]

I yawned so many times for real 🙈🙈🙈 Thank you for your video, I was looking to improve on this topic 😄😄

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@ysbuchanan]

After so many years of being a basic beginner learner, who didn't practice well at all, this explanation really made me to understand well how to make sound, in theory, Now I must learn to do it. Thank you, Freya of these videos I must have seen before, but I was not even the level to understand to differentiate the move. The problem is to have self discipline and keep motivation to practice everyday to learn well. These voice warm up series are wonderful. Thank you!
