Jesus! Not that I just spent 4 years studying voice and never got an explanation like this once!

Finally, a couple who know what they are talking about. Delighted to have discovered you!

I'm so glad to have found your channel. Such great, specific, and helpful advice, delivered in a kind and encouraging way 🙂

Correct appoggio makes all processes respond naturally and efficiently resonating in the right spaces.

So informative! Loving this technique series! :)

Amazing guys! Just what I was looking for, thank you!

Oh my!!! This just what I’m looking for!! Thank you soo much!!

You two keep saying "We aren't teachers." But really.. you ARE... These vids are amazingly informative. I have taken from a dozen teachers and some of the explanations you guys are coming up with a GOLD!

You guys are great. Thanks

Love you two! Your videos are so comprehensive and technical yet easy enough for me to understand, who has little musical training. Thank you!

I think I became addicted to your channel. You just explain things that were told to me but in very simple and clear words! Maybe in one of your videos you could address more closely the issue with larynx.

Awesome video. Thank you!

This was a great discussion. There is a concept called the laryngeal tilt that I would love to hear you guys opine on.

Refreshing video After a hard day of frustating practice , thank you ❤

You guys are so helpful!! I combined the “ng” with two stacked fingers in my mouth and realized.... tad dah dahhhh I put to much pressure on my chords on my onset!!! It really helps my understanding of my mechanics! Thanks so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

"Glottals are a skill in and of themselves." (glottal) "Yes!" We are rolling in the aisles out here. Keep it up.

Really good!

Great video!! I've finished reading Richard Millers book 'Training tenor voices' he has some great ideas on 'covering' or 'copertura' to help balance the sounds of different vowels as well move through the passagio

I appreciate your videos and think your teamwork is great! But I may have missed it somehow I listen to the video twice… did you guys come out and say whether or not you should use a low larynx or the mask or both? It wasn’t clear to me?

Do you listen to historic opera recordings (for either enjoyment or training)? If so, do you think the singers of the past sang differently from the singers of the present?

Thanks for this guys. I’m just returning to opera after re-training. I had to find my own energy field and clear the space to allow myself to focus. You guys are simply amazing and are my go to for sound advice (pun intended!) 🤣🎵

Hi, love your channel! Do you know what it means if I only feel vibrating sensations on one of my chords? I can achieve closure quite well but it's just a strange feeling and I wonder if it's a sign of anything bad

Oh my goodness…. what is this squillo I am hearing ringing over my voice?!?!? I have never heard of the “hung” approach before

violanta is one of my favorite works and it is rarely performed. I prefer it to the longer more laborious and dystopic works of Korngold like "Wunder" or "Stadt." I wish the whole video were available but I can only find the trailer

Great Video! I’ve forwarded it to my singer friends! I could listen to this technical conversation for days! Norman is amazing!!! 🙌 on a side note: Does Norman’s addiction to Riesen chocolates impact the performance of his larynx and if so maybe we could see a future video of how he prepares his confectionary delicacy? 😁

Why can't they be my parents lol

I can lower my larynx in a natural way I think, the only problem is that my chords tend to wanna separate a bit. Jack livigni said this is normal, that you just gotta work on the compression, but you guys said that the compression should come with the low larynx. So, do I not try and exercise to compress my vocal chords more while having a low larynx?

Hello, my name is Marie. How much do you charge for a 30 min lesson? I want to work on my mix voice.

Hey there! Recently I just found you guys and I really appreciate the experiences you shared on KZfaq. I have been studying voice for several years and developed some bad habits like pressing down the tongue to create 'low larynx' and 'fake baritone' voice. Except from age, is there any tips to help singing with low larynx in a natural way? (maybe some exercises?) I found that my placement is always not high enough because of the pressing. I try to sing with low larynx and it's full of tightness, especially in higher register. Actually I can reach the high notes quite easy, like Bb or B. I'm on my way changing to a tenor but I know I'm gonna ruin my voice if I continue to sing with that bad habit. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to sound dumb but how do you do cord closure? I hear several people say you must force your cords to close but no one says how to make that happen.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

😊

Thanks for the video, it's nice to have this dialogue between you both. It's great content and super exciting to talk about. This guy is getting interrupted all the time though and it's quite distracting when you interrupt his thought patterns, please let the guy get to what he's going to say organically.

sociopathy is a disorder that can be treated with empathy training

Hello gorgeous couple OK this is gonna sound really Odd and I don't know how else to write it so I'm just gonna go out and say it I love you guys totally amazing I need help and I'm willing to pay through pay pal this sounds totally crazy I know but I need a warm up somehow put on Somehow Something I can Use daily I don't want to go into too much detail I am going back to my singing have been doing it since I was 6 My grandmother was an opera singer sat under her piano knew them whole messiah by the time I was 8 and my grandfather was the conductor of the Chicago civic which became the Chicago lyric my studies have brought me from North Carolina to New York City and I had studied for 30 years 1 day you don't warm up and your peers and teachers and coaches notice 2 days and the world will notice I need an hour long warm up from low G which I can do in head voice or chest or a mix up to D above high C which I can't do any more the best warm up all the best You have I know you both are loving enough to do this I will then begin again to start singing my 30 hours a week I'm not sure whether I'm going to New York and Europe back to where I was and where I am known and/or going to the UK and doing something totally crazy but it might work I've got letters and proof my voice is exactly sounding like Jessye Norman A very heavy dramatic.... I really want something that starts low and then gets you warmed up enough to get to the high the only reason why I want a high D above high C is because then I will have A strong C Because although I am a Wagnerian I think now the only opera that I would be able to do would be turandot There is a lot more to this story letters I can send the end I am trying to save my babies they are 9 and 10 and basically living with a murdering terrorist so I must go back to my singing I've never stopped but I do not have my warm up tape I was with some of the most famous people in New York probably the most famous manager and one of the most famous singers but I cannot ask them because if I go there I want to go there as perfect as I can be as I feel like I am older now and that will work against me although I think I can sing another 25 years But again I also have an idea about the UK which you both would probly think is crazy anyway I love you guys will you do it please I can send you my email if you want to and I will pay you through pay pal I don't have a lot of money right now obviously but I will give a lot for a one hour warm up tape from the 2 of you that will take me safely from a low G up to the D above high C you guys are beautiful your voices magnificent love you both XOXO please help it's Christmas and you're saving so much more than you realize

Use a room with less reverb

I wish the beautiful lady would talk less when I am listening to the tenor - he has something to say. PLEASE!

Why is she interrupting him so much? Thanks for the lesson though

3:00 = dead.

JUST LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE, THE MAN CANT GET A WORD IN EDGEWAYS, AND WHEN HE DOES IT AINT FOR LONG, YOU KNOW SOME ADVICE WOULD BE FOR YOU TWO WORKING TOGETHER, IN A RAT RACE BUSINESS, IS TO SEE EACH OTHER WITHOUT THE IMAGE YOU HOLD FOR EACH OTHER, THAT WAY YOU WILL SEE EACH OTHER DIFFERENTLY EVERY DAY, THEN LONGEVITY AND LOVE WILL LAST. YOUR WELCOME.

Guys, please don’t talk at the same time 😢

interesting but it took them nearly 5 minutes of slapstickery to get to the content. just get to it we don't have all day to wait for your content to become interesting

Friendly tips so you guys teach singing and stuff, but know nothing about digital audio?? fitting... reverb and echo is your enemy... you must learn to maybe cut it off in the audio OR... go to a room, start singing, if there are great acoustics... probably not a room to have a talking video :D the audio is terrible its like you're in a tunnel...

Please sir just make a video without this unbearable woman full of herself

Like I swear y’all have no idea where your discussion leads to, no disrespect, but unsubscribe
