Strengthen Your Voice: 4 Proven Vocal Exercises for a Better Voice

[@jamiewishart1577]

Thank you. I wanted to leave you a comment just to let you know how helpful the videos are. I learned many exercises which I know have helped my recovery toward normalish speech, facial movements, and facial symmetry. It’s taken me about 2.5 years to get to this point, and I will continue these exercises until I feel they aren’t necessary (if I reach that point). Thanks again!

[@SpeechSecrets]

Jamie! Thank you so much for leaving this message and sharing about your journey. It really keeps me motivated to know these videos are helping individuals like yourself. Way to go on your hard work to reach your speech goals. I hope your message is an inspiration for others watching. Blessings to you.

tbh my sis told me i have a baby voice so i’ve been watching vids & trying tips. words like knoll & boom are way easier than doing vowel sounds & realized ive been breathing from my chest for years instead of my diaphragm. It felt awkward so i practice on the rooftop also been working on my posture & now it's quite helpful

[@SpeechSecrets]

That is great to hear! Keep it up!

[@barrowfull-qs2dk]

Always learn something and Love the simplicity of your follow along videos! More please❤

[@SpeechSecrets]

Thanks for the feedback! I was afraid this one had too much explanation. Do you think a more compact one with these same exercises would also be helpful?

[@barrowfull-qs2dk]

Definitly! The performance of your follow along vids with simple visual pointers makes for really clear practice.

Excellent, I have just shared this video with a client who has paralysis from the neck down and on a respirator. I'm trying to improve their vocal strength prior to using voice recognition software.

[@SpeechSecrets]

Awesome! I was thinking of making one similar that is more compact with just the exercise and less explanation. Let me know if you think that would be a helpful addition!

[@ministry_of_love]

@@SpeechSecrets I think that would be great yes. Thanks so much.

[@claudiafer2338]

Thanks so much for help me with your videos, I am not native speaker English, I have trayed for 20 years to speak a good English, and I cannot do it, I have seen your videos and is exactly I need to learn, in Spanish there are exercises like this but are different because the sounds, the muscles that I have to move are not the same, appreciate really how you help through your videos, is exactly what I need to improve.

[@SpeechSecrets]

Hola Claudia! Me alegra que te gusten los videos! I also speak Spanish but have not yet had time to do my videos in Spanish. It is a long term goal though! Do you think that would be helpful for Spanish speakers given the other youtube channels you have found? This video in particular is for the muscles of the voice, not so much for learning English sounds, but I am glad that you are finding them helpful for your improvement!

[@claudiafer2338]

@SpeechSecrets have language problems, I have fluid problems, directional problems, etc. In fact, exactly the same thing happens in Spanish, I can't speak correctly, I know the grammar, words, the order, but I can't speak, it has been very frustrating, I really don't have money for treatment, I know they exist so I have taken things from the internet so much in Spanish as in English, I put a pen in my mouth and start speaking tongue twisters and that has helped me a lot in my fluency, diction in Spanish, and a little in English, in fact the sounds, the fluency in English have come out better for me with the pencil in my mouth, this is constant practice, I know that I have to exercise my temporal lobe, it is a challenge, many years ago a teacher made me recite and he saw that defect in me and told me to take a pencil and put it in my mouth, I actually took it badly back then because I thought he was making fun of me, so today while studying I realized that I had speech problems, I remembered my teacher and I'm working on it, I know I don't move my mouth much tongue, lips, I kind of speak with my throat like ventrilocos, I'll tell you how my progress is going, and thank you again.

[@gabithemagyar]

This is great ! Just started this today and will keep it up for sure. My voice wobbles all over the place for now so it should be easy to hear and feel improvement. Subscribed ;-)

[@SpeechSecrets]

hey, that’s awesome Gabit! Let me know how it goes for you! Thanks for subscribing :-)

[@gabithemagyar]

@@SpeechSecrets Will do ! BTW - did you notice that in the last exercise (C - G) you are getting an overtone to sound, rather like Tuvan singing ? ;-) Something like what this lady demonstrates : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHScgpttZZ6al9U

[@SpeechSecrets]

@@gabithemagyar whoa!!! My mind is blown. Ha! Thanks for sharing this.

Wonderful ma..I follow u always..from tounge exe..thank u and god bless

[@SpeechSecrets]

You are most welcome! What did you think of the voice exercises?

[@TylerGorman-c8l]

Hey, Kasondra.This is Ross from Texas.I've watched your videos and they are amazing.I just had one question. How do I keep my frenulum linguae from getting really agitated and cut during these exercises? I have a bottom mouth retainer.That's permanent on the inside of my lower 6 teeth.And it cuts it really bad

[@SpeechSecrets]

Hi Ross! Thanks for the comment and question. Individuals experiencing agitation with the lingual frenulum may benefit from elevating the tongue so that it does not rest on the lower teeth and/or doing the lingual movements within the oral cavity (eg, elevating tongue to roof of mouth instead of outside towards nose). Hope these tips help!

[@TylerGorman-c8l]

@@SpeechSecrets thank you so much!

[@SpeechSecrets]

@@TylerGorman-c8l you’re welcome!

How much min we should practice and how many months are required for results

[@SpeechSecrets]

Hi! I talk about frequency and duration often prescribed for vocal function exercises in the very last portion of the video.

[@yenisieskisigibi]

i've tension in my lca (lateral cricoarytenoid) muscles, what exercises should i do? thank you... ❤

[@SpeechSecrets]

great question! curious how you identified this specific muscle tension as well. I don’t have any videos specifically for this but feel free to leave a link with any resources you may find for other viewers.

[@yenisieskisigibi]

@@SpeechSecrets i had an ent doctor examine me for my vocal cords. İ've difficulty using low tones. normally, my voice is a bass baritone, but unfortunately i can't no longer use these sounds. thank you... ❤️

y en español? no entendi nada :(

[@SpeechSecrets]

Me encantaría hacer un video en español pero me cuesta tiempo. Espero eventualmente hacer unos en español. Creo que hay option de subtítulos automáticos no?

[@chicsassy4024]

Mam, I am 22 year old girl but but my voice is like 10 year old kid and it's very embarrassing. Please save me 😢😢 I want to sound like adult

[@SpeechSecrets]

Hi there! I don't have any videos on changing voice pitch but that is a great idea for future videos. If you find any good resources elsewhere, please leave the link here!

[@mimudase]

My voice is impaired from drugs...so called 'therapy'...iatrogenic! 🤢

[@SpeechSecrets]

@mimudase I’m so sorry to hear that. How frustrating when trying to cause one thing causes another problem. What has helped you?

[@mimudase]

@@SpeechSecrets Thank you for your prompt response!🙏 I'm using iRevive, nuXtrax, lifewave patches, ivermectin/ Fenbendozole,colloidal gold/silver, chlorine dioxide... Juicing, home cooking, no processed food... Meditation and try to unplug from the Matrix 'health system'(hospitals and doctors!!).. Went to speech therapist but your exercises are streets ahead of what I was given! I only discovered you today and I'm glad 🙏... They told me I have stage 4 ( not using the name they give it!!) But I'm determined and resilient even though I sometimes have to interact with 'them' for certain 'meds'... I believe we all have the Power within us but we need to work on it and practice it daily. Gratitude for your help ❤️... Lots of love from Ireland 💕 💕 🌟 🙏

[@mimudase]

@@SpeechSecrets I left a comprehensive reply and it was deleted! 🤢... Something didn't like my honesty!

[@SpeechSecrets]

Wow, sounds like you are really attacking from all directions and doing everything in your power. Can’t blame you for the unplugging, it can be very overwhelming and frustrating to navigate the medical system. Thanks so much for sharing about your journey. I’m glad I could offer you a small resource in the puzzle. Blessings to you and keep up your strong spirit.

[@SpeechSecrets]

I can see it now! It didn’t delete the message apparently.
