[@arijohan3511]

pro trick: watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@tonybowen8519]

@Ari Johan yup, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@soaribb32]

I feel like I'm scared to sing.I love to sing but shame of people listening blocks me...

[@caesarsalad-xu4vy]

same. I haven't sung in public since I was 11. knowing I can be heard by others causes me to never sing outside of the house or the car, though part of me would love to.

[@jolenesluis720]

I'm getting ready to cry, I REALLY needed help because... IM DOING A SOLO IN FRONT OF MY WHOLE SCHOOL! And I'm that ONE kid that just cant sing in front of people or else I will get to nervous and back down. So, thanks for the video today! I needed it!

[@nikkibrown8860]

Did they love it?

[@DemigodCircle]

You and Peter gave me the confidence to audition for a local show choir - AND I GOT IN! It's been one of the greatest experiences I've had. So thank you so much for all that you do, Evynne 😊

[@EvynneHollens]

+TheJadeDragon That is so awesome! Good for you! Yay show choir!

[@christinamarie529]

+TheJadeDragon That is amazing! Congratulations! Hold onto your confidence and make sure to enjoy your experience.

[@avastewart5965]

I'm Actually got chosen to audition for state choir that's why I'm watching this wish me good luck!

[@ladyflanbo9502]

I will but it's 3 years after so I hope u did good

[@syleeadventures]

What you said is so true! It helps so much. At the end of the school year, my school has a tradition to sing Hallelujah, and in yr 11, we sing soprano, and our music teacher always says, "imagine that you are looking over and singing over the note" (sort of the same thing as what you are saying). Thank you for making these videos :3

[@EvynneHollens]

+Sylvia L Yep, totally right on! Thank you for watching & commenting!

[@AddiCastillo]

I'm trying out for Disney channel tomorrow with my singing and I think the confidence part is what I need I hope I make it!!😂❤️

[@hollyanne4562]

I really hope you get it!

[@fishstingray5487]

Ily Kamilah and addi hey! i’m 3 years late but do you remember how it went? did you get it?

[@elizabethmcglynn1797]

i needed this, since i was bullied in middle school i have lost most of my confidence, but i got over it and this video really helped me gain all of it back over time, now i'm going back to singing again but this time with more confidence in myself.

[@monstercupcake643]

Do you have any advice for people who are afraid to sing in front of people? I can sing (although I'm not great) but I get so nervous when I sing in front of other people!!!!! Any tips on how to get over this?

[@shirleybujold7285]

I'm like that too! If you pretend that your "audience" is not there you may feel better :3

[@angelicaullrich]

Do it once. And one more time. And then one more time. And then again... and then... again. Once more AND again! The only cure really is just to do it. As dumb as this might sound... I’m speaking from my own beginning experiences...

[@brooklyn875]

Don’t push yourself down by saying you’re not great! you are great boo!

[@hitcher1779]

Great comments Evynne, takes me back to my singing instructor when I was a young boy. Sing High = Think Low , Sing Low = Think High , Always have more breath than you think you need. It always worked for me.

[@savannahtorres-ocallaghan3774]

THANK YOU!!! This video was very helpful to me (and many others I'm sure). Today I auditioned to get a duet in my choir. My teacher said I did excellent and noticed how confident and relaxed I was. She said I would most likely get to sing the duet! Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!!! ♥♡♥

[@savannahtorres-ocallaghan3774]

I get to sing the duet! My audition sounded great! Thank you!

[@Cassarilla]

This video is super helpful! I sing a lot in a small local theater. A lot of times when I hear the song I'm terrified of hitting certain notes so I will either not get there or wimp out and not support. Then sometime during practicing I'll just let it go and get over the fact that it might sound bad. Once I hit it practicing a few times it is so much easier to sing. It's all because my head stopped saying "you can't hit it, it's too high, you can't do it" and started thinking "you've done this before, you've got this!" Relaxing is important!

[@denandkim4224]

My choir teacher told me about your channel and you helped me sooooo much

[@laurens7861]

Thanks Evynne. I was taught by members of the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Chicago Lyric Opera. My private voice teacher always said VAWB....Vocal Athletes Work Best.

[@jaimerestrepo3330]

Better than better, Evynne! Your performance, the contents of your lessons, evrything... mainly your actitude: I can´t say thank you enough, Evynne.

[@videogameheat]

This was fantastic. I am a voice actor and have been wanting to get into singing. Thank you! :)

[@markthomas6236]

I love what you do

[@christinamarie529]

I wish I had discovered you and Peter sooner. Your voices are so beautiful and while I know I have a good voice too, I was never able to get over my stage fright, I couldn't even sing in the car. So I ended up leaving choir and music behind for years. But since being introduced to your channels I have rediscovered my voice and am now singing the car louder than ever. Thank you for all you do. I still have yet to become truly confident in my singing but I am so much more comfortable than ever before. So thank you again! I can't wait for your next vid!

[@clairemarusin5635]

My church choir JUST started singing together again (post-Covid) and I haven't sung with them (well....at all) in over a year. Oh man! I not only couldn't hit my usual notes, I actually fogot how to sing in my head voice (I'm a 1st soprano). I felt like I was screeching at first but after PRACTICE and reminding myself to not push, I'll get there eventually really helped.

[@Garyinzion]

These videos are SO what I need in my life! Thank you Evynne!!

[@KiaraStudios]

I've really been struggling with setting myself up for failure/not believing I can improve. This video helped me so much! Thank you Evynne!

[@ToshiSalvino]

THANK YOU this is exactly what i needed to hear, your visualizations are reallllllly helpful especially the pointing forward instead of upward!

[@miguelcabanillas5709]

Hello evynne. You are my favorite when it comes to voice lessons. I love how you encourage people that they can. Just relax relax relax relax😁. Please keep on making videos!!

[@LaurajollyE]

YES to all of this! And can I also say that having a teacher/director/mentor who believes in your ability to succeed is also a huge help towards learning confidence! One of my greatest moments in choir in college came from the director asking for one soprano to do the high note during the piece's climax, and people seemed hesitant to volunteer, so I thought to myself "Why not?" and I volunteered. And even though I wasn't the best singer in the room, and I didn't have the most self-confidence, I WANTED to be confident. From the moment I volunteered, our wonderful director firmly believed in and supported me. She told me I could - and would - hit that note. Our first run-through in practice, I didn't quite get there. But she smiled, let me know to take it up a bit, told me to relax, and the second time through I did it! She just gave me the thumbs up with complete calm confidence that she knew I would. And guess what? During the performance, as nervous as I was, when the note came up I knew I would hit it, because my director believed in me, and I believed in me. And I did! :) I know it's just one note in one performance, but for someone of my limited experience level it meant a lot to me at the time - the confidence in myself and the confidence my director had in me. I think this video is perfect not just for students, but for mentors who want to encourage others and help give them confidence. Thank you!

[@inaala_nailo]

hey Evynne! I really appreciate your voice lesson videos, especially ones like this one! I had an audition earlier today that i just felt so defeated on, that I couldn't reach the notes i needed. So needless to say I didn't do very well at that point in the song, but everything that happened has just made me that much more determined to work on my range and comfort zone. Thank you so much for doing these videos, you help so many people, and I wanted you to know that. Thank you

[@natcapucim90]

Omg I just discovered your channel and I absolutely LOVE IT! I'm a brazilian singing teacher and I say the EXACT same things to my students! Thanks a lot for those beatiful words and for boosting my confidence as a teacher!!

[@DFPSprite]

I've always had the lower voice, the "true Alto", with help and videos like yours, I have been able to do so much more than I thought I was capable of (I'm actually shocked at how high I can go). Love all of these videos and how good every tip is and how well you show it!

[@nechialee4624]

Evynne thanks so much, you are amazing. I appreciate your videos.

[@JoyMarie201]

Thank you so much for these lessons. I've been using them when i sing for my church and its been helping so much my voice is so much better.

[@gracefriesen2091]

Thanks for this video. I sing ALOT and I just have felt like I needed to be able to sing more confidently because when I sing and a note is slighlty hard to reach I get super nervous so this video is amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@kimdonahey]

You are such a good teacher! You are so clear and so likeable!!

[@EvynneHollens]

+Kim Donahey Thanks Kim! xoxo

[@goblinsbride5848]

You're an amazing teacher! I'm learning a lot! Thank you! ❤

[@kpriol9384]

Oh my God Evynne thank you so so much! I watched this video like 100 times because I wanted to go up to that 1 Note and to practice it more but I just hit it once and then never again... That's why I watched your video so often, I knew your video is the key. Just a few hours ago I got all my confidence together and just sang that one song with this high notes in it. I warmed up as normal before, sang it and didn't hit the note. Then I remembered "you can hit those notes" and I DID IT!! And I was like WOW YES I CAN DO THIS and I did it again and again and it worked! Thank you so so much you helped me so much and you are so beautiful and thank you so much again! I'm going to practice more now, because of you I have now more motivation to move on. Thank you so so so much!

[@robertourbina7335]

Really great advice!!! Two thumbs up!

[@cupofcozy708]

I love these mini voice lessons by you. It's been quite a while since I did choir (7 years). Keep up the good work! Any chance on singing for Broadway, musical theatre???

[@EvynneHollens]

+P3acexL0veScr1be Oh definitely a great idea. I'll do that one for sure!

[@jimthefrog3742]

So helpful!!! Thank you!

[@raf4.l0ciks95]

this helps a lot thank u🖤

[@kelvinrobertson9871]

Wow you are a real darling. I love this video so much and I love your Over The Rainbow video too. I believe everything you said here. Anyway I am relatively new to getting voice lessions and last week my teacher took me on an exercise down really low. Like down to the G below the lowest E on guitar. And I was amazed I could actually do it. I was watching the piano and in this case it was confidence building. But I do know what you mean about not watching the piano so you don't get scared. Thank you so much for putting up such great videos. Your positivity is so awesome and you make it seem like it is all possible. Now I gotta test out your theory on myself. See if I can get to the B above the high E on guitar. Well the thing is not just getting these notes but being able to use them successfully in a song.

[@leehaynes1993]

I love these videos! I think about them everyday when I'm singing and they really help! Thank you

[@EvynneHollens]

+Ashlee Haynes Oh that's so awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@NadyLeon]

Hello Evynne ! This video came to me like a miracle. I was casted to play Ariel at my university musical, and this first weeks of rehearsals Confidence is the less ai felt. I actually thought that I can't sing and that my performance in May will be horrible. Actually I'm a little bit scared that everyone will laugh and judge me cuz I know I'm not a soprano as Ariel. That are a few of my "problems" right now... But certainly watching your videos makes me feel more comfortable and I wish you were my singing teacher, In a way you are and you've really helped me, every time I feel bad I'll watch this video all over again, your smile and Confidence made me feel conformance and believe in me... That I can do it and I'll practice a lot to give a great show. I'm a total fan of you and admire your soul and heart and God bless your family and voice. Thanks so much for making this videos. 💜

[@theosabbioni]

Hello Evynne! Great videos! Great Lessons!

[@VickyLashenko]

These are such great tips! Thank you so much Evynne! You are so beautiful

[@TheBClog]

Interestingly enough, a lot of this helps for wind instruments as well. Particularly with playing high (being grounded) and just confidence boosters in general. Good stuff. Thank you! :D

[@EvynneHollens]

+TheBClog Oh awesome! Glad to hear it ;)

[@SaudiaTate]

wow your voice is splendid! 😊❤

[@naomit5036]

Thank you for this! This is really helping me to improve my singing voice. I’ve been singing since I was young just in choirs, but now that I’m trying to find my own voice, I’m sort of struggling. Thank you again! I know this video is from years ago, but it’s still helpful nonetheless!!

[@RonaldPierce]

Great tips and help with singing, acting, public speaking, presentations. maybe the dont look at the piano doesn't apply to the other things.

[@EvynneHollens]

+Ronald Pierce Ha that's great! Thanks Ron!

[@57Strudel]

Let me just add my thanks for all these videos. I started singing again last fall after, oh, about 22 years and yes, the brain gets right in the way. Your tips have really been helping get the voice back! (...and while I sing alto because of knowing I can't make a pretty sound on those high notes, I do think I should point this video out to some of our sopranos :D )

[@itbe]

Just found these. Wow and thank you! ...and keep 'em coming! I would love to afford proper training but can't, so these tips are welcome. I have a good book with a disc, but it's nice to have the explanation and the example together at once.

[@NoSarcasmInvolved]

this video helped me soooo much thank you sooo much

[@217048623]

Thank you!

[@Shizomaja]

Thank you so much for your lessons :) I always have trouble with the high notes, but I will work on it. I now believe that some day (I hope very soon) I will hit that notes. Thank you so much! You are awsome

Thank you, you're great!😃

[@LionQueen106]

Okay I can't believe I haven't seen this video before! :) It really gave me a boost of confidence that i really needed. even though I've been in choir for 8 years I've never felt confident in myself. but thanks to this video i have that now. Thank you so much Evynne!!

[@EvynneHollens]

So glad it was helpful to you.

[@misstessamaye]

These are such a blessing to me, Evynne. Thank you :')

[@EvynneHollens]

+Tessa Maye That's wonderful!

[@feitocomfruta]

I remember the first time I tried "And I'm Telling You" from Dreamgirls at karaoke. Mind you, I'm a guy in my late 20s with a Tenor 2 falsetto. But that song is PERFECT for singing with confidence because it's so passionate. After I finished, my confidence was really high.

[@EvynneHollens]

+feitocomfruta Thanks for sharing! Love that & yes what a great song!!

[@leliannathefaun1656]

Thank you, this video is really helpful and the timing couldn't be more perfect

[@GauravMurmoo]

i feel so nervous to sing in front of people, i am even shaking while watching this video :( that if i am going to sing, it may dont go good. it also chokes me in... please help me..

i cant wait for the next video! i used to be really quiet, i could never sing loudly in front of people. but then i just kept singing with my friends and its easier now. still cant belt tho ;)

[@xiolasteele4908]

Thanks for this video! I have a concert in choir soon and this helps a lot!!

[@EvynneHollens]

+Xiola Steele Yay!

[@nerdchic3897]

When ever I have to sing a low note, I picture a tennis ball being thrown up. When ever I have to sing a high note, I picture a tennis ball being thrown to the ground. It helps soooo much

[@hannahtj1940]

I've heard that it helps with high notes to visualise not trying to reach up for it, but like a bird floating down onto it. :D

[@khoopes011]

I find singing the bass part to 'Oh what a lucky man he was' helps me sing the low notes

[@ruancoetzee7242]

Hi Evynne. i like your videos and its been helping me a lot. can you make a video on harmonies? sometime in the future maybe? :D Please..

[@mikugamer5679]

This helps me...

[@michaelabbate7556]

She is right, when I first started singing the song "rise up" by Andra day, I couldn't sing the part that says "move mountains" the way she did it but I practiced and now I can do it!

[@michaelabbate7556]

And also when I first started singing "almost there" from the princess and the frog, I couldn't hold the note at the end but I kept practicing! And now I can hold that note at the end!

[@se4602]

Out of this world Covers! Great job!

[@kta0702]

thumbs up

[@stuart5960]

Hi, Evynne! The main point of stress that's affecting my confidence (besides getting conniptions staring into a mic) is that I can't read scores. It's like dyslexia or Broca's Aphasia, except I'm read and talk just fine. Could you please consider doing video covering the topic?

[@nataliakravcukova3261]

"Get out of your own way." "Get out of your head." "Don´t judge yourself." Those are also awesome general tips for life! :)

[@rainbow-dm2un]

thank you now i do covers on my channel

[@michellebowen5675]

Question can you sing Phantom of the Opera and teach us how to hit such a high note at the end? Is there anything new you could teach from that aspect?

[@riaarora2668]

can you please do a video on how to hit lower notes

[@12RocksMusic]

Thank you so much for this!!! I take a vocal tech class at my co-op. And when we have to sing in front of the class it always freaks me out, Will I hit the note? Is my breathin ok? Do I sound as great as everyone else? But this video(and all your voice lesson videos ) are really helpful.

[@esPeSkull12]

Evynne thanks you for making these videos. I've been playing music now for almost 6 years, I started playig the guitar when I was eleven then started to sing on my own when I was twelve, wich was quite hard for me 'cause my dad and sister were not so fond of my voice. So I starded singing in the choir and then I quit about two years later. Ever since I started to sing my dad always told me to only sing songs that suit my voice (Which was really annoying, 'cause he always told me to shut up when I was singing a song that I really liked) . Is it true that only certain songs can suit your voice? Sorry for the bad gramma.

[@quietstarsilence7038]

I wish I could have seen this before my audition for honor choir

[@chelseadaley9770]

i don't always believe know how to belt the high nots when i really can't hear it through my own vocal range because i don't really what vocal tension really is and nobody told me when i get so intense i'm too scared to believe in myself that i can hit the high notes i actually recovered in surgery for my throat and i really thought i was going to give up on something that i love to sing but it's hard but now i got better after that and i'm to afraid to believe that i know in my heart that i know that i have a voice and i personally want to be heard more and to not be in my own head

[@homelifetogether6781]

Hi! My name is Emily and I am on my mom`s channel. I liked your princess vids and i really want you to do a "How to sing like Mulan" video.I did a Mother knows Best lip sync.Please tell me if there`s anything I can do to improve my facial expression. Thanks!

[@WealdsOfGold]

When I was with some of my friends they were talking about belting and how hard it was to do it. I didn't think it sounded to hard so I tried. I wasn't that bad until I had a massive voice break. I'm sure the whole damn school heard it

[@Creative_mind2010]

What’s your singing range? I’m a second soprano but I can also sing into the alto range but I need the confidence to do it with power.

[@amberd2698]

any advice for stage fright and panic attacks?

[@princess1peach]

Hey its Thursday

[@Graham_Hand]

What's confidence it's been so long since I've had any

[@idrewthis1817]

I want to be a singer when I grow up I’m still practicing. I sing everyday in the house alone

[@arianaprice1592]

Are you a voice coach? I am looking for someone. Are you in Utah?? I would love to have you actually teach me.

[@emilyann3840]

Evynne, do you think you could touch on exactly HOW to increase range? I know that there's good strain and bad strain, but I'm still a bit confused. I was in Musical Theater and Chorus for 3 years, but it was never explained to me how to increase, we just warmed up. Now, I'm graduated, and not singing on a near daily basis and my range has shrunk a bit. I try to warm up when I can, but my progress isn't the same as it use to be...

[@EvynneHollens]

+Emily Ann I will definitely do a video on this! Stay tuned! But for now I will say it's just all about practice, so warming up on both sides of your range everyday!

[@jadetylahoff]

what's the thing called at the end of a stretched note when you vocalize and how do you do it😅

[@viviyumm]

it's called vibrato

[@iamnotthrowingawaymyshot5229]

Does anybody have an advice on neighbours outside their house.?I can hear them walking there and I’m too scared to belt. Besides I also sound like a whiny cat when I get really high so shame kicks in as well in those situations...

[@estilevy2618]

Your SO cute 😗

[@bethanyrogersbeauty]

[@dingusbobingus5360]

Question. Okay so...every time I practice singing, my brothers always have some mean things to say. I hate it. Anybody have advice?

[@shirleybujold7285]

Always ignore him. If he makes you upset or tells you that you are bad at it you can challenge him to a singing duel XD Pretend he's not there. You also can sing LOUDER when he talks so he can't say a thing. Hope this works XD
