This was amazing---I instantly experienced a notable increase in my ability to control my voice after I did your 2 min breathing exercise

[@chelseadaley9770]

I think some other times we all should have to try and meditate because I personally do that and I feel so calm and relaxed for whenever your sick or not it’s very calming and soothing on your whole body and mind and soul

[@cheryldummer]

This was helpful! Thanks! :) I remember a voice teacher talking to me about glottal stops, and it feeling so scary. You made it understandable!

i thought the snoring in the background was my partner who’s sleeping next to me and then i realized it was the dog ❤️ so cute

[@madeupname3008]

It's so inspiring to hear you share your experience with lpr!! I've been tackling mine for a year now and finally making (significant) progress, but hearing such an accomplished singer and teacher talking about it, it gives me hope and makes me feel less alone

What did the doctor say?

I’m putting this in my daily warmups and pre show warmups I found instant results by just doing it once but I’ve also been meditating since I was 14 so I have better results cuz I have practice lol now that I know this is the issue for me I can better understand why I sound off pitch sometimes it was my breath control

[@PossumMedic]

Thanks for the vid! :)

[@TheFlat6]

I can't sing well or with much gusts before noon daily..lol Airflow, is huge, I know right away and get head rushes..lol Sometymes a new song will tire me easily too, for example, Keep on Rocking In The Free World, would wipe me out. After a while it became much easier, of course I started to play it slower to help. Thanx..

When doing the breathing exercise is it ok to hear your breath in and out or is it supposed to be silent? I don't hear yours and we are not doing a sh or anything letting the air out?

[@TheFlyingFriedChickenGreasy]

I could hear her ur fine

[@ladymidnight7305]

Haaiiii!! I have a question, should we estimate the amount of inhale that we do to make it last 8 seconds? Cause I reach my maximum inhale at around 4 sec and couldnt inhale anymore 😅😂 and then in exhaling I reach the 8th second buut still have loads of air still in my lungs, should I change and make both inhale and exhales meet the 8th second mark?

[@Lilhen123]

I am here because I cannot talk I sound tired and sound with forced voice.

[@nyanSynxPHOENIX]

I realize you get the exercises by subscription, which is definitely fair. I do feel the title is a bit misleading though. It was still helpful though, so I'm not going to throw a fit, haha.

Thank you! Ive really been trying to do this every day

[@dulcemariatovar9744]

I LOL'd when you talked about exorcisms because I found your video because I need help with my vocal fatigue because I sing so much at Catholic mass LOL

[@staceystarlight]

yeah i have gastritis and LPR buttt went to the doctor for it and gastritis is better, however, the reflux keeps affecting my throat at night. it's a bit more controlled but still there and my throat is never fully okay and i haven't been singing as much so as to not cause an injury to my vocal cords. i will go again to the doctor because she said if the reflux isn't gone with my treatment and my throat still gets hurt from it then, my reflux may be because of another cause other than what i eat or drink. i'm going to be honest, it affects me a lot more when i speak because we speak more than we sing and i've reduced singing; i'm afraid of doing irreparable damage to my cords (want to be a singer) and it is so hard. my throat is never really that well. i definitely have to go back to the doctor and try and find the cause and treat it, otherwise my throat will continue to be swollen and all! i was told it could be treated and you could 100% heal from it. so i have my fingers crossed so i can go back to the way it was! my voice is super resilient and strong but there's only so much it can take when it gets affected daily :((((

[@sues3218]

Today while singing, I sneezed so hard it hurt my throat. Not long after, I felt a little hoarse. Who knew a sneeze could do that.

[@1343letsgohome]

thank u！！！！！

[@mysoulcalledlife]

I missed this lesson because I was working overtime and had even lost my voice a little from dehydration plus cold air at night. Then saw the title of the lesson!😂😂😂 I love this membership omg🫶
