How to Sing With Emotion (Repost from IGTV)

[@tana7700]

To whom this can help : I found really helpful to speak the lyrics repeatedly before singing using very different emotions, not only the one I wanna give the lyrics. I also build an entire story, just like a theatre practice. My vocal teacher told me to do so and it works like crazy. Usually being emotional while singing is extremely difficult for me.

[@martineyeo7491]

I find the problem also lies with a difficulty to let go of inhibition. So difficult to let yourself go in front of a public!

[@_midday.m_3776]

You're so right, sometimes it's about letting go

I'm guilty that I'm always technical when it comes to singing (always conscious of my pitch and the right dynamics from time to time). Once I tried 'emotional singing' when I was very down, I ended up choking in my own tears so I decided to sing 'emotional' when I'm alone and more technical in front of others to save myself from embarrassment lol

[@Vezerai]

I feel you but you shouldnt restrict yourself. What you really want to do is sing emotionally in front of others. If something is hard to do you have to do it until it is easy, simple as that. I was in the same place as you are and struggled in front of my friends when singing sometimes because i choked up thinking about the lyrics and connecting them to my own life. But you gotta recognize its okay to be sad, if you are sad you should cry. I remember well one day i was so sad and i sat at home by myself and sang through my tears, it didnt sound good and wasnt very technical but the next time i was with my friends i didnt carry much sadness inside and it was a little bit easier. Bottom line is you do not want to repress your emotions because its easy and it becomes a habit and then emotional singing (which is the best kinda singing) becomes hard and thats the exact opposite of what we want.

[@uuglychuu8959]

I’ve never related to something more than this When I sing with emotions I just give goosebumps to my self and start crying And I’ve done this in starmaker smh

[@gracewood6768]

yes, i have hard time singing ballad or emoitional songs. I sing kpop songs (those dance song stuff) and when I need to sing an OST, it's really hard for me.

[@ms.playboyinternational393]

When I sing with emotions I usually force myself to think about each word I'm singing but never put myself in the scenario

[@ms.playboyinternational393]

And I'm very self-conscious too

[@ericarceneaux]

Many of you have asked me to please post my IGTV videos to KZbin as well. I was worried about the video/audio quality being diminished, but let's see how this works. If this format is ok, then I'll keep 'em comin' 😊. Of course, I'll still be uploading the classic style of videos as well from time to time👍🏽. But posting my IGTV videos here is easier, and it'll allow me to post to KZbin more frequently 🙌🏽.

[@Oceanlinx]

EricArceneaux Thank you for your time and your lessons, you're one of the best vocal coach.

[@taramisu3280]

I can't get IGTV on my Windows phone, so these videos are great for me. Something is better than nothing in this case.

[@Suselsu1]

[@taszat]

[@ayandamthimkhulu1264]

Most philosophical singing lessons ever

[@luhanbruce333]

Wow! Those tips make total sense, and I can definitely already simulate the massive amount of improvement now suddenly possible to my vocals, while I'm just watching this 😯😍😃 So excited 💖 So appreciate your sharing wisdom/connections ✨✨💖🙏😘✨✨

[@xingyuli82]

I like the idea that you are always an actor when you singing

[@aslirematac]

I LOVE your videos and have been practicing with the help of your videos for YEARS now. They help a lot. Thank you for doing this for us. I even considered having private lessons with you online. I still have that in mind. Have a great year!

[@silviakrasteva763]

Eric Arceneaux, you are the best teacher! I just love the simple way you explain everything! I have learned so much from your lessons...you are just great! Thank you! Please, keep doing it! God bless you! Greetings from Bulgaria!❤

[@zarifkarim5377]

Man this makes so much sense! Damn you the man Eric, keep up you awesome work😁

[@ericarceneaux]

Zarif karim Thanks, Zarif! 🙏🏽

[@damarisfozaopowell3137]

This was really helpful. I am recording a song and I literally just didnt know how to connect the lyrics with my actions. Thanks, Eric!

[@dingomatic]

I've been scrubbing through KZbin on this topic, and your video is one of the few that has actionable information. Appreciate it!

[@alexlorenlee]

THE MASTER IS BACK

[@WendellLive]

Eric, thanks for posting this. Vocalist need to acknowledge they are entertaining the audience and that they need more than a great voice. Great voices are easy to come by. Connecting with the audience using emotion is a perfect foundation. I try to remember before I go on stage that I am really an actor that sings and how can I make the story of the song be real for the audience. A pretty voice is nice, but if thats all you deliver for a 3-5 minute song the audience will eventually disconnect from your performance.

[@RusticRockMusic]

Great lesson, thank you. For me, having that emotion in my voice at one point, then losing it on the next run of the same song; I can hear it in the playback. It's important to listen to your performances with a critical ear yourself, but also to get feedback. I use acoustic guitar to write music, so if I lose my way singing, I sit with my guitar for a minute and then find my way back to the inflections, the style I wanted, the attitude, the pauses, etc. You've got to believe in every word, or no one else will care.

[@nithya1372]

Hi Eric, I just want to say thank you so much for these videos. Your excersises have given me much more confidence when singing, plus all the other tips about the music business in general and your own story, are so helpful! Just thank you so much, you're really making a difference.

[@tacticalribeye9583]

Was wondering how this guy has so many subscribers yet this video has so few views. I have determined it is because his subscribers are now great singers and have less reason to watch his material. Great vid, great teacher.

[@Smartedgefinance]

Yasssss Finally!!! 🤩❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I clicked so fast!!! Lol love your channel!!! 💯🥰

[@J0307music]

Beautiful. As a beginner I’ve been strictly focused on form, technique and tone, but I guess this video popped up as a message I needed to hear today. Maybe it’s time to start putting some feeling on it. Very well put, thanks again Eric ✌🏻

[@JocelynNewsome]

Thank you so much . I love singing and I love sending message of the song . Your teaching is amazingly remind me of how I used to sing.

[@darksidessj25]

I'm trying to teach my friend how to sing and he doesn't understand this part and this is what separates you from average to being professional. It's complicated to show someone emotions and having intuitive feeling. It took me two years to get this far.

[@artymunoz5060]

I know a person who has the craziest range. The craziest tone. The craziest power and control but she lacks that emotion She knows it also. But sometimes we can focus more on what we’re doing rather than why

[@eastvibes2012]

I always sing with full emotion and feelings , whenever I start singing i get too deep into it I like every single words that comes out of my mouth,I feel every single words have their own story . 💗#music is the best things to get addicted .

[@mykonstantine95]

Good to hear from you man! Your thoughts here has coincidentally been on my mind lately, as a year in the making singer whose learning to create my voice as an extension of my other professional work as a musician. Hope to see more!

[@smedmark1]

Such great insightful tips, and you have a very eloquent communication style.

[@taramisu3280]

Great video! Thanks. My next solo assignment in school is Someone to Watch Over Me by Ella Fitzgerald, a very soft and vulnerable longing type of mood, so these tips will come in handy.

[@tracygibson3196]

Yay your back! This was great info. Looking forward to more gems of wisdom. 😊 Is the emotional aspect of it the reason why people often sing with their eyes closed? And if that's the case is suggesting that a person sing with their eyes closed to tap into their emotions a good suggestion or not? And why?

[@flordellaeafford4847]

Don't do run on sentences. Have breaks in emotional words that your trying to get across to your ordinance

[@starrix4712]

That might be a good idea too

[@jairusgalutan5283]

Im going to sing a song my dad made years ago for fathers day and this will definitely help me bring in some emotion. Thank you and God bless :D

[@Michaelg3221]

Sir everytime I sing there's some mucus that is stuck in my vocal cord. Can you tell me the problem? And solution to this?

[@mariahmusic996]

Warm up before you sing & drink lemon water.

[@jadefo2433]

Mariah Music i do that but i always end up coughing in the middle of the songs anyways.. so annoying😓

[@aKeithmusic]

@@jadefo2433 are you singing louder than your talking voice?

[@krystals8154]

I have that same problem that started a few years ago too, it is very annoying. I drink warm lemon water with honey.. it still happens

[@evoj.]

Too legit Eric. Thank you! Awesome vid!🙏🏼💥😎

Hay man I really have a problem when I sing my friend telling I have nice voice but I always having a problem with high nots and pitch I really need you to help me please because I have worked on a great song and I'm starting my career please help

[@jobrock1079]

Aren't there people with naturally emotive tones though - like a melancholic tone - so they can sound emotive with only the least bit of emotion? Which singers do you think have the most emotion in their voice?

Thanks a lot ... Your advice is very helpful

[@samuelfrench9665]

But what about vocal sheet music for a song and it tells you what note to sing when with the piano to be on pitch and key? and if you remember the lyrics and sheet music by heart then that's how you have to sing it or it would be off with the piano playing right? I take musical theater lessons and I have to learn the sheet music first. Can all of this still be applied even with the sheet music? Thank you!
