I like that you brought up the digrastic muscle. All the anatomy I know is finally paying off! Thanks for the great video!

Mine tend to fight me as well, particularly if I'm already stressed or tired. Try vocalizing with the compression underneath the chin 3 times a week. (Demonstrated in this video.) Over time, much like a massage, the toxins that are trapped in the muscles causing them to strain will go away. Drink alot of water after to help the toxins flush.

Hey there, thanks for watching! Try easing up on the volume as you reach the higher notes, while maintaining a narrow shape of the mouth. Avoid "splatting" out your lips, or stretching them horizontally. Try vocalizing with my video "MIxed Voice Application." This will give you a good example of this.

Hi, Sophie! First of all, I want to take you for sharing your knowledge with us. Secondly, I have a question concerning the exercises in this video. When do we practice them? Right before we sing to reduce the tension or do we do them at home at a regular basis for a long term reduction of tension? I thank you for your answer in advance.

Hey there, don't worry I have a hard time with the trills to! And you may feel silly at first, just make sure you're alone. :) The lip roll is an excellent way to begin warming up because it relaxes the face muscles.You can also do the lip roll by simple sliding up and down a scale a few times, going a little higher each time.

@1108vocalstudio 11 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, try holding down your throat muscles or "digastric muscles" while you vocalize. To find these, place both of your thumbs underneath your chin and swallow. When you vocalize, anytime you feel them tensing up, push up on them and fight back. You can also try vocalizing with your tongue sticking out to relieve tension in the back of your throat. Good luck!

honestly that has been my biggest problem. for some reason, i think due to childhood stress, my digastric muscles are active most of the time and it causes a lot of annoyance and some pain even when im not singing. ill try these exercises, it seemed to help in just a few minutes.

Hi there, these exercises may be new to your muscles, so it will take time before it becomes more "natural." Try vocalizing with the exercises a few times a week and your vocal cords will begin to understand the difference!

Hi Mario, great question. The answer is simple, if you run out of air quickly, it means that you're using (or spending) too much air. You need to focus on very clean, pouty sounds which will suction the vocal cords together a bit tighter, keeping the airflow to a minimum. There is an exercise for this on my video called Top 5 Questions About Singing. Good luck, and follow me on Twitter @SophieShear

If it's an exercises on a scale, only go as high (or as low) as you can go on the scale without feeling pain. How often you should do the exercise....it depends on the exercise. In the beginning I usually recommend 3-4 times a week.
