Two years later. You sing good now?

[@renaatdeckers4940]

Yeah , Vocal guru ! The deepak chopra of the larynx

[@nathanjames1722]

I literally said this to my singing Teacher tonight, I'm like, the reason you didn't get into music at uni is because you needed to be my life coach back here and I'm like, "oh sorry, tots meant singing teacher :P "

[@bruna.marqques]

It's been 5 years since I asked Justin this question, glad he answered, and at the time I was so insecure about my voice... He really helped me accept and love my voice AND always work to be better. ❤️

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing, Bruna! 💙💙💙 -NYVC

[@rayleeyitlun1101]

This video just saved me .. It just stop me from killing my self after hearing to my own recordings .

If there is anything that me or any of us at NYVC can do for you, please feel free to write us an email.

😄😄😄 -NYVC

[@Driftuner]

there is no way to not love this guy...Justin you are probably the most inspiring and energetic person i know! (on the web at least hehe)

[@jonnyjazzz]

I think the part about exploring your full voice (practicing in the various extremes that Justin mentions) and not practicing to sing "pretty" all the time is the best advice anyone can ever give you. You'll train your ears to work with your muscles to get the right mixture of those extremes and come out with something great, and that your ears can appreciate.I used to compare my voice with others and was never satisfied. Now I don't compare, or rather, I compare it with itself and how it sounded when I did something different with my tongue, jaw or embouchure.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

+jonnyjazzz Really astute point JonnyJazz! Very well said indeed!

[@Timliu92]

Hey Justin let me say this - you are one of the best vocal coaches in KZbin. You are very encouraging and do not limit your students to one sound or one type of voice - and that is the sign of a very good teacher.

[@Daywalkr]

How in the fuck do you always do these in one take

[@PS-sg4er]

He is a trained actor and a professional singer. Have you heard Justin's range and how different he can make his voice sound. You got see this. Amazing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp-2hKNph56Kmpqqe

[@VerdeGothebae]

LOL OMG THAT "YOURE FIRED" WAS PERFECT!!! xD

[@kylieseneres3193]

I stopped singing for a long time and now I'm 19 and changes in my voice already occurred and I am not confident with my voice but my passion to sing still outshines my fears and with your video I learn tips and be confident and sing from my soul .. thank you very much!😊 thank you!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Beautiful! Keep the JOY! -NYVC

[@Poichiche1996]

The way I learned to like my voice was to record myself and then sing along with the recording. In my case, it helped me realize that my voice was almost the same as in the recording and it helped me accept how I really sounded. Many people dislike listening to their voice when it's recorded because they don't hear themselves how they usually do (in their own head), but they hear what other people hear (and often find beautiful). Thanks for another awesome video! (:

[@johnbogart2344]

Hell yeah! Somebody saying you can't sing hurts so bad, cuts so deep. Makes you wanna dedicate life to proving them wrong. And someone saying you can sing makes it all worth it! Just saying.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

It sure does John! But we strongly believe that anyone can sing! It just takes diligence! -NYVC

[@russmaleartist]

Justin, I must do a bit of praising in te manner in which you professionally and humanly present yourself. Your videos are all done in a very kind, thoughtful, and helpful manner; furthermore, your daily tips are magnanimously well done on so many levels. The tip I got today sort of put me over the edge, in that your concern for the respect and courtesy of others was verbalized in a most pleasing and kindly fashion. I think what you said is many times forgotten and many at one time or another are remiss in their gratitude and respect for other people's talent, time, and help. Thank you for your time, professional help, courtesy, and kindness. God Bless!

[@andreastevens9146]

Lol I was cursing out my warm-ups until I ran into this man. He doesn’t only build confidence in people, he builds voices!

[@connorbetancourt5605]

Thanks, That alone time when you can sing alone is so golden

Dear Justin, As you may be aware, you are a saint to us all. But how are you Always so positive & full of life? Can you share with us any tips/techniques you use prior to recording your wonderful inspirational & informative videos, which we may be able to use as singers (to help on stage)? Thank you & Best wishes, Gemma Louise Doyle

You are the best vocal coach I've seen here in KZbin Justin. After following your lessons and tips, my voice has improved tremendously. Thank you so much! 🙌👍💕 You're the best!

[@allyjk]

You are one of the greatest Vocalist & "Psychologist" :)

[@HawkEye40]

5.45... :D I love this part, reminds me what my voice teacher said. She always encouraged me to fool around and make the strangest noises ever produced. "Let your voice cracks, let the seagull sound appears to see how high twang can be done, let the fry enters and shows you great chances to expand your low range...etcetera..."

[@DanielDeakin]

You know exactly how to eliminate insecurities. Only people who have gone through stuff can do that. So glad I found you!

"Ooohhhh what is that creature" literally me

This video saved me. So that's why after all the practice I made I still feel something wasn't right. I gave my all in that voice recording and man, I hit G#5 and sustained an F5 for 6 seconds but I still feel incomplete. Gosh I thought I'm gonna lose my mind. Thank God I found this video.

Did you know that Justin now has a vocal training course: voicelessonstotheworld.com/page/vocal_course It's fabulous.

[@hiimpaul4477]

Omg thank you so much for this. Recently, I’ve been being hard on my singing voice since the tone isn’t as developed as I wanted it to be. After the watching this video, i fired my ears (lol :) ) focused on maintaining support, relaxing and feeling the resonance in my mask area. I did a recording of it and it really sounded good. I could actually say I like my voice. Thank you so much for this! your videos always have help and still do! Wishing you Happiness and Safety! ❤️

[@buddhikasamarashingha6056]

Really true! I experienced all these external discouragement . Overcame all by time to time recording and listening to my own voice to improve with fresh recording over n over. (Being in a room without anyone) Good comments received on latter compared to initial from those who are better at singing. Really nice of you n the motivation u give to the beginners is great!

[@RobiticDuck]

Hey Justin, I just stumbled upon your series. Its a great positive motivator. As someone who was born with a stutter, I find that my words helps me out with what would be a difficult phrase during normal speech. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thanks from Canada.

[@gwenferry2070]

So right, when I listened to a recording of a song I had just sang, and, thought I had sang it fairly well, I was mortified. One of my cats gets very upset when I sing and she is the room. Any song in any pitch at any volume:-(( Not sure what that intonates!

So happy I found this channel, just bought some new equipment so I can start recording my own music but hearing my singing got me discouraged again (Iv'e improved but it still need allot of work) this is definitely one of the best vocal channels on KZbin!

[@Seleuce]

Great video! I love how encuraging you are! Funfact: The great tenor Franco Corelli started off teaching singing to himself with only a few lessons from a professional in his early twenties. It was only after he recorded himself (in the 1940s, he was a marine engineer with access to recording equipment) that he noticed how bad he actually sounded. He got himself a voice teacher, studied singing and only 5 years later he stood on opera stage with Maria Callas. He became one of the greatest tenors of the 20th century who was admired even by Pavarotti who said that "Corelli had vocal chords of steel". Now, that's a story of success.... thanks goodness he recorded himself... :D

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

WOW! What a story! Thanks for sharing Seleuce! -NYVC

[@sambou6286]

[@ndavidoff1]

Justin, you are an inspiration! I really hate my singing voice, my coach is trying hard to dissuade me, but I think she's just being nice...she gave me a homework to find 5 good things about my voice, I only could think of 1 - loud! but then thought it was a disadvantage in my case: an awful sound which is loud! I record myself all the time, so hating is constant. But your videos encouraging - maybe because they are not just drilling but fun to watch as well. Perhaps you cured quite a few of self-haters...Thank you!

I even tried looking for articles on the internet to tell me that the voice I hear in my head is the voice everyone hears, and the one that's in recordings are fake. I've practice so much to improve my voice which I have ameliorated vocally. Now I actually LOVE my singing voice. I've let people I'm close with listen to some of my recordings( It Took Alot of Convincing) they said I've improved immensely. Thanks for your help!

I've never ever saw a video 11 minutes long worth this much, its unbelievably packed up with the right information. Well done! I have problem with 4.Sing in the right place at the right time. You see, my house is crowded, in every room there is someone, and i get really nervous when i am about to practice, especially because my father told me multiple times to just quit and that i am not fit to be singer. My only hope was the time they weren't home, or when i take long walks in forest near my house. After 2 years of practicing i finally managed to sound decent enough no to disturb anyone listening, but i still can't practice with 100% potential and i know its all in my head and i shouldn't listen to my fathers words but i just can't stop thinking about it its frustrating.

Thank you for making me feel better about myself haha So if we lose our hearing on the higher notes, what are some tips on keeping pitch?

[@constantineostrov5841]

+Jon Querequincia maybe use some sort of "mental hearing"? It's like you imagine how note is should sound before you sing it, and your brain will keep right pitch itself

i've never take curs of sing, becaus i don't have enough money, i start learning english like 2 years ago, so when i've seen your channel i've been really happy, you speak clearly, i can understand every word that you sayd even trough my english is pure bad hahaha... Musique is all my life, but i feel like i'm really bad at it, and you help me getting better, so thanks, thanks you! i take every lesson that you give to us, and i learn the best i can, i think that you help me getting better every day, so, again, and it don't matter if it sound repetitiv, thanks you!
