As a lifelong singer, I have to tell you, this is one of the best singing videos I've ever seen. The way you move the tongue to get various tonalities, switch registers, keys and pitches is one of the best kept secrets. Mainly because people usually don't go that technical unless they're deep into singing.

Thank you!!!!!!! So it turns out my tongue is meant for more than ice cream cones. I had never once thought about my tongue whilst singing. This is a complete game changer!

Opera is a magical voice art😍✨

i remember those day when every singing nerds hates about christina aguilera tongue technique, but non of them is actual singer. youre genius!

She’s so excited when showing the examples I love it 😂

Wow!!! This was a game changer! Higher belt notes felt effortless! Love your channel!

I use tongue root all the time when I belt. And then i’ll bring the cricoid cartilage through to make it fully big for maybe 2.5 seconds. What I find is this is how many pop singers are “belting.” It makes your thin folds sound “pseudo thick.” or “fake thick folds” as I call it. (Estillian here) Kerrie’s tongue root research is best. I’ve been teaching tongue root to my students and it’s the best.

I hear it in Celine so much, it's a very helpful trick if you can control it

One of THE BEST voice lessons of all time. Resonance is the key to modern teaching imo. And you nailed that.

An interesting phenomena could be that as we all experience less and less singers in an auditorium/opera theater setting and more through microphones/speakers with balanced volumes in each track, some of the techniques that were necessary to have a performer pleasantly audible in a large space above loud orchestras are a lot less important this has allowed nuances that would previously have traded too much carrying power for tone-shaping to become distinctive styles

Ms lady you could have charged a million dollars for this lesson, you have completely changed the game for me, this is what I was missing, I just been doing it back accident. That opera singer gave me chills down my body, damn she can sing.

Your a wow 🎉singing coach / teacher singers A big hug and thanks and smilies I lost my voice during an illness then I had concussions had neck injuries and I saw the big difference. Then I started developing sinus problems and a big difference, upper respiratory yada yada yada little by little like an onion I am layering down you are the best for me yet thank you for your gift. I’ve been working to improve for years one session with you. I saw a difference and I could feel it in the back of my neck, the tip of my tongue, the roof of my mouth and my surrounding your line and I do facial exercises and facial massage and I could tell what was going on. You are one fantastic teacher. Thank you.❤😊

OMG I am a new subby. I am IN LOVE❣️I thought the ‘secret mix’ was click-bait so I started not to click. SO glad I did! Where have u BEEN all my life??? AND u’re humble‼️ ♥️♥️♥️🗣🎧♥️♥️♥️

I learned this when I noticed Christina doing it in a live performance of “You Lost Me”. It was one of those “that’s how she does it!” moments haha

This literally was a complete changer for me on a song I've been trying to record vocals to for MONTHS. I struggle in my mix area, either pulling too much of my chest or it feeling too weak/airy. Plus I struggle with muscle tension dysphonia which definitely doesn't help! Learning to access this type of resonance has allowed me to sing in this area with so much less effort, the intonation is 10x better & my voice doesn't feel so strained. Thank you for this video!!!

George Michael (R.I.P.) did that in the song "Careless Whisper" many times (and in other songs). For example on the frase "Pain is all that you find". Wonderful composition and imo one of the best singers and a really great sounding voice.

Omg yes, this is something I noticed when I watched the bodyguard over (&over&over lol). I loved Whitney movies growing up cause I watched her sing, and noticed her tongue "looked weird". It took a long time to figure out how to place my tongue like that, but this video simplifies it so well!!

Before and after at the end was insane, thank you! ❤

I've done it a couple of times now (I'm a Xtina fan) and she does that a lot and so did I unintentionally. I was kind of scared of doing it because I thought it was bad, I'm glad that it isn't. Thank you for this wonderrful tip.

i have heard the whirring sound before, but i havent had it explained so clearly, thank you Gemma.

This took my belting to another level! Thank you 💗

The frequency thing is so cool. When you showed the difference in that vocal line I got chills. The difference in tone is tangible

So musical, so honest, so generous... thank you! ❤

Found your channel about a month ago, I think. REALLY enjoy the work you put into these. So much mastery in the "education" of it all but you have a way of making it sound like English lol with an adorable Irish accent to boot!

Thank you! I was noticing that sometimes I could reach the high note more effortlessly than other times, I knew it had something to do with tongue placement, but you explained it perfectly! Now I get it.

Aaaaaaaah this is so good! Perfectly articulated! And as usual, SO FUN! I feel like I've unintentionally come across this tongue position/tone quality sometimes when singing and been scared by the accidental kermit sound. This is such a good way to identify and intentionally lean into the kermit, befriend him, learn from him. Thank you so much for this Gemma, and for your channel - it's been so helpful (and entertaining!)

Wow. The demonstration at the end was so sooo good! Can't wait to try this. Thank u!!

Queen! This is so useful, helpful, I love your energy and professional approach to frequencies 💕. Can't thank you enough! Exactly what I needed to add to my practices. 😎

true artist, from album theme to how she showcase her vocals in every masterfull album.. excellence

This video is the BEST video I’ve found on this topic!!🔥♥️

I don’t even know who you are… but OMG, have I been looking for you for so long!!! 😮 I can’t even comprehend how much my mind is blown right now!!! To be clear, I’m so glad I found this video and your channel! KZfaq algorithm finally got one right!!

Gas. My voice coach taught me this about a week ago! I’ve subscribed to your channel. Thank you. I’ll watch all your videos now.

Oh the excitement on a technique result is just the best! 🥰

OMG ! I finally think I have just found what I’be been looking for for such a long time! Thx so much for your explanations, which make me suddenly believe there’s hope for me. This tip of yours is… I don’t know what to say… but it is definitely working !!! It seems to me that’s magical 🎉❤ Thk U so much again and I am looking forward to seeing your next videos !

I loved how you enjoyed doing the exercising and notice the improvement! Love your videos ❤

You are magical I’ve improved so so so much from all of your videos and shorts

Gemma you are a fountain of knowledge.. I learn something new with every video ! 👌👌

This is such great content! I appreciate how clear everything is, and this is so useful.

Subscribed! First time watcher. You’re so right, it works! ❤

Thank you for your short videos. So much helpful information ❤

Unbelievable ❤

Ok, let me just say I am absolutely infatuated with you! Love your personality and how you explain things. This helps A LOT! Thank you!!!

Wow such an amazing and outstanding vocal lesson I have never encountered. You are indeed a true and reliable vocal couch.

Ha, I stuck with it through the whole video. Glad I did, immediately fixed a problem I've had on a transition in a song I've been doing for years. So little of what I find on here has really helped, but thx for posting this!

Bloody hell that sounded amazing at the end! Beautiful tone

Genius!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THISSSS!!! and you are so cute with your enthusiasm! ♥! I'm so hyped to practice this!

Love this! Can't wait to try it out. Thank you 💗

My older sister used to make fun of my voice for singing like this, but I learned by mimicking Christina. Hearing this is an actual vocal technique has made my day. All this time I thought I was singing improperly💗😭

Wow! This video was suggested to me by the KZfaq algorithm. They really got it right - this is fantastic! I'm subscribing!

it improved my mixed highs so much! thank you!!

I found you on tiktok, and while your techniques are excellent for all singers, this one has really gone above and beyond to share them with us. I appreciate it and hope to be coached by you in the future. yiieee🥰

This is the first time I've ever seen one of your videos... and I have to be honest I've learned so much...like & subscribed... and binge watching more vids

Brilliant!!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

So interesting and helpful! Thanks Gemma!! 😄

Whoa that was brilliant! This is the first video i have seen of yours-thank you for breaking it down visually, audibly, mechanically-singing has always been a “invisible” wonder but it makes way more sense when you describe it

I watched this because I am struggling to record a vocal (I am not really a singer) and I thought it might help. I definitely will try it, and I believe it will! I have joked around singing like Chevy Chase in some of the VACATION movies, and thought I noticed that there’s something there. But the real takeaway is that I am now in love with Renée Fleming. Again. 😅

Fascinating 💫

I like your pipes! I can't really understand what your saying but it reminds me of something I do sometimes when I'm hitting notes around the passagio, with good support (controlled belting). I sing the note in a dark sort of way, it is as Pavaroti would say "covered". Then I gradually brighten the sound by placing the sound at the front rather than the back, by changing the shape of my mouth/tongue. This makes the note more bright and cutting. This combined with good support really makes it a strong and bright note. Tonal placement.

I really love the sound of it!!😍

You are awesome! Thank you very much for the tip! Cheers from Brazil 😊

Just as you put it; this technic turned my world upsidedown! I also use this video as my 2.video-warm-up ;-) You are really good at explaining things so even I get it

Pure brilliance!

Wow what a difference. Great explanation

I've never heard of this. Thank you so much. ❤

this is perfect to exercise my voice for the song Jolene! thanks a bunch

Thank you!!❤

This is very helpful, thanks for sharing.

So cool! Thanks for this video!

THANK YOU. It helps A LOT!!!!!

Love your reaction at 5:00. Same here!

Yassss for my field (speech pathology) getting a shoutout! 😄🙌🏽🔥

Add a good producer to this techniques and you are a star...I saw that with my little sister. this other guy "Lezina J". He makes her very nice songs. Said she found her right here on KZfaq. don't know how they do things but she loves to sing even more. Thank you KZfaq guys. All of you deserve more.

Great editor on this video.

So good!

Obsessed with this! x

I happened to like the sound of you singing “I have nothing” example without the technique just as well. I’m not sure how many people are in that camp, but I tend to not like the nasal sound that the technique brings to the table. But, I do appreciate the purpose for it. You’re voice is beautiful regardless!

Awesome. Thank you !

Wonderful information thank youuuu

So helpful, thank you very much!!

This was very interesting. I can’t wait to apply that to my practice.

3 years into my singing, song writing and producing (oh and pianists :) ) journey and at the point where its all coming together. these videos have been the icing on the cake and that's surprising after the amount of daily practice, thousands of hours of tutorials and well known online course. True artist is sharing the holly grail of information. Thanks Gemma

This is fab, thank you! Instant sub

Wow seen this before and wowing it again

Woahhh i love this

impressive!

okay.. I need this trick.. let's go.

I know nothing about singing and I’m fascinated!

WOW. Just wow.
