I've watched over 30 videos on singing. Why is this first one that even shows this technique???

I love how you led by demonstration instead of talking our ears off at the camera

Man, my teacher was exactly one of these "pushing in" ones, thank you for pointing that out! One of the reasons why I quit lessons with her was exactly because my breath support wasn't going anywhere in months, I feel like this is a first thing to learn as a singer. The siren exercise is insane to, thank you so much for posting this!

The difference is real. Thanks again, Arden. I like his voice.

I have the exact same issues as him. Trying to sound pretty results in poor singing. When you know you can sing and some times you’re great but others not so; this is why - lack of support!

I've struggled with knowing what "support" actually means and this is so clearly explained, thank you! 💕

This technique helped me finish a long singing phrase that I wasn't able to finish earlier and had to take a break in-between (& sound awkward!)!! Many many thanks for such a wonderful demonstrative lesson. I'll be sure to follow your channel and join your group.

This is a phenomenal video, one of a scarce few vocal technique videos with a teacher who actually knows what they're doing. In truth this is just another lesson, just a day in the life, but it's crazy how utterly lacking KZfaq is in actual voice teachers who can effectively demonstrate good technique. A breath of fresh air amongst a red ocean of jokers on KZfaq with awful technique.

The guy's range is incredible and so is the teacher's head voice range! He's a baritone hitting high tenor notes and killing them like that (kill in a good way)

I'm sorry but I'm watching this while eating and I even sing along for a few moments And I choked

This deserves more views!

This is the best video demonstrating HOW actually breath support work in real. Everyone who needs should watch it and give the thumbs up. Really appreciate Arden! Thank you :)

"Get there, stay there" That's really helpful!

Amazing!

Amazing. Thanks a lot!

OH MY GOD, I FINALLY GET IT!! Arden, youre the best! Your way of teaching, demonstrating and explaining is so amazing and efficient! I can tell that (unlike many others) you really want us to UNDERSTAND. Thank you so much!

that really makes a difference! thanks

This is amazing thank you

wow I learned a lot from this. thank you very much

This is a powerful exercise. That is awesome 💜

What a difference! I loved the way you instructed him!

Thanks girl! You're super crisp and in tuned and that makes a phenomenal teacher! 🍎

This was such an awesome way to think about breath support! Thanks for sharing

Oh wow this is my first time seeing one of your videos. Amazing tips! I have a solo at school in a few days and I was very nervous about my mixed belt sounding way too head voice-ey but now I feel no tension at all, except in my abs which I'm sure I will benefit from over more time and practice! Thank you so much. :)

So excellent!! Arden is such an effective teacher. Thank you to the student for showing us how to do it.

I could feel the difference thanks a lot❤️

You are the best vocal coach I’ve watched in KZfaq so far Arden. Although I can’t fully grasp the breath control but I will keep rewatching your videos and practicing . This demo is so helpful. Thank you

This was amazing, fun and effective too...

Why does this not have a million plus views, This is absolutely brilliant!!!...

Wow:) Such a beautiful teacher :)

there are some weeks I've been looking for some video that could explain me, in practice, how to sing with breath support in brazilian videos but i only found it here, thank u so much

This is the most practical video of teaching appogio here in youtube.Thank u so much.

You young lady are a Genius, watching this gave me the best explanation of breath support on the Internet. It solved all my issues and has given me a massive spring board. Thankyou.

Thank you so so so much ❤❤ this video was enlightening for me... May God bless you everything ❤ thank you again.. 🙏

Extremely knowledgeable woman who has definitely figured out the brain! Loved this video. Many thanks.

I need this training ❤🎉

I wish I were in L.A. so that I could take lessons from you...but I'm in Rome Italy! You seem to be the perfect vocal coach.

These videos are so wonderful! I really appreciate them, they're rocking my world because I realize I've been singing from my head voice with no support my whole life. And it's felt awful, which is one of the reasons I stopped singing.

That guy sounds awesome 😎

Hi🙂 You know, I have listened to 100’s of vocal singing approach and technique videos of a period of year. You.. precious heart, are a treasure. At least for me you are. What a find. You are teaching from experience of excellence and sensitivity to your own body, while relating to the feelings of others (both mentally and physically). Then, you take your training and study... and basically speak the truth in an understandable way, with ‘feeling’ and sensing our own bodies (because much of it is mental and even emotional). God bless you. I hope you are well. I hope your school is prospering. I hope you are stillll making videos. I asked for tips when singing with asthma but, I don’t want to be redundant. It was in the video where you imagine a square box in the back of your throat and mouth and hazel cavity. Belting, I think. Thanks so much. You truly speak my language and I deeeply appreciate it.

So clearly explained the technique mam

What a great coach. Very clear.

Wow.. amazing i'll be honest i lost all hope in youtube singing tutorials. A concise and actionable plan.. Amazing.

this channel deserve a lot more views and subscribers!

She has so much metaphors and explains things concisely I love this girll!!!!😍

This guy is like looking a mirror at how I act during lessons lol

Hello Arden, I feel so confident in following your channel. A quick backstory about myself: I took lessons from a complete QUACK of a vocal coach, who did Skype lessons with me (he was in NYC) and he never, ever heeded my warnings or focused on my concerns when I told him that his lessons/teachings were hurting my voice. He told me to push past it, keep trying, etc. because he was essentially "never wrong". You get where I'm going here- I developed a terrible nodule on my right vocal cord. It stayed that way (I couldn't do any voice therapy at the time, so I accepted that I was "done") for 5 years. Miraculously, I found recently that my nodule has healed. It is truly a miracle; I feel blessed. That said, I am looking for help, tips and possibly to find a new coach soon if I find that I can get back to where I was (not the injury part, but I mean back to the progress I did make years ago, haha!). I had a question regarding something I am facing again: I always have trouble going from chest, mix (which I never truly got right, and it is what caused my awful injury), into head. What happens, is I start in chest, I feels solid, strong... But gradually, as I go higher, I tense up (even while focusing on being relaxed), and get tighter sounding, as well as resulting in a total "give up" collapse into "flipping" into a horrible light/heady/falsetto. Like my voice hits a hard ceiling/maxed-out and it falls completely apart. I'm awful at explaining things, I hope you know what I'm talking about. Oh! And with all of that, I also end up just getting louder like I'm yelling instead of singing. There was a time I got past that issue mostly, but as I said, my ex-coach started basically training me to squeeze, push and fight my throat. Truly, I would appreciate absolutely anything you could offer to my situation. If there is a video of your's that you could recommend; I am vocal clay in your hands :D

Wow

Hi Arden I have been watching your vids for a while and I have been practicing appoggio. You helped me tremendeously. The only thing I have an issue with is the inhale. I don’t understand why but it gets stuck and I get too much air in. Can you give tips for that ? Thank you so much.

I legit thought I was so supposed to pull my stomach in tight to “support” ... woooow

Just subscribed!!❤️ Notifications on! Do you do lessons online?

I’m actually very impressed by this video!. I absolutely love how you explain this breath support!, I can’t tell you how long I couldn’t understand the whole breathing support through The diaphragm!, I mean every video I’ve found on KZfaq doesn’t explain this step-by-step details like you!. I’m not the best singer I’m trying to get better, I have one cover uploaded to KZfaq!. Mostly my channel is about entertainment!, but anyways thanks for this video has definitely helped me understand it even more now!. 😊I’ve been following you channel for a awhile now!. ❤️your amazing!!.

hi I have a song on youtube call moving on I wont to know if I am singin with breath support or not

One question! We get support pushing abdomen? Or when we sustain the breath? 🙄

What is the name of the song he was working on?

hi I have a song on youtube call the lord is here I wont to know if I am singing with breath support

Again with the lip trill . HOW do you do it without putting the fingers in the cheeks?? I do not get it. :(

What is support?

Did I just witness how Usher was made? **self slap** oh, that’s right, that’s new Usher.

Arden, why in other videos they say we should flatten our stomach when exhaling? This video is different. Also, i tried this method, and I do get pretty tired and I run out of breath very quickly and I cannot sing for too long after trying to hit a high note using this technique. I just get a headache and feel discouraged and I feel my abdomen muscle gets soo weak and out of breath. Any advice?

Hello! I tried this technique but I'm having some trouble with it. After I sing a phrase, I have to expell the extra air before breathing in. But when I do that my stomach contracts. If I try to use all the extra air before breathing in, I find myself almost gasping for oxygen. What am I doing wrong?

hello Arden, video very interesting but I think there is an error on subtitles? could you correct that, because it's in Spanish while you speak in English, my English is not great and often the subtitles allow me to understand a little better, thank you

I don't understand the first exercice. I inhale and while exhaling I sing while retaining my exhalation in order to make it last is it? shouldn't I release all the air when I sing? should i block? sorry i'm french i didn't understand everything

I have a question about this when exactly do u breath because I've been trying this exercise you showed but I expand my stomach till it physical you can not anymore please help me out

Im not quite understand on 1:14, does my stomach have to come up when inhale ?

So your belly should expand when you make sound? How about inhale, I thought that your belly should expand when you inhale?

I wish I could have a break through like this. It seems like every day I lose more and more of my voice and resonance. I try to work on breath support, breathing, range everyday but blow my voice out after just a couple of minutes. I tense up. I do not know how to "find it" again. I started singing because it felt so good. Wanna get that sensation back. But how?

So Arden, is my tummy supposed to be inflated the whole time?

I don’t get it... I’m not getting it... I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sing

I don’t get it 🥲😅

I'm sorry for this stupid question, but what is he wearing? 😅

Lip trills and belly breathing puts the voice in the nose. You can still get positive results from that approach, especially in the style of music the student is singing but there is much more voice there that won't be found in the nose. Nice voice though.

This sounds quite bad. I can't fully judge just from one sample though. What people don't understand about support is that without relaxation in the head and neck, you can't properly support
