Wow. This advice is worth a million dollars. I sing in a church and i have some songs with really high notes. Every time i struggle when the note is on "i". I need one hour of warm up to touch the note. But now i applied your advice and i can touch the note so easy, even without warmup...thank yoy so much. Your videos are just cakes.

Oh my GOD. This video just improved my singing sooooo much i cannot believe it. I've been singing for 8 years..i never understood the part about raising the back of the throat so i could never raise pitch without croacking..i just recorded two song..holy sh*t dude..I owe you big time! The only thing is i had to hold my larynx down with my hands.

Let’s consider this scenario. Now, this doesn’t have everything to do with an open throat, but a closed throat too. More specifically, larynx positioning. Anyway, I’ve seen singers who keep their throats open and their larynxes stable throughout their entire range. I’ve seen singers who close their throat and raised their larynx on the high notes, and I’ve seen singers who bob their larynx up and down either with vibrato (e.g. Patti Page) or to chase the note (e.g. Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry) or just bob their larynx rhythmically along to the music (e.g. Pete Seeger). I’ve seen the rhythmically bobbing larynx in a few folk music performances and in a contemporary music performance, the latter of which I observed at my old Baptist church I used to attend before converting to Catholicism. I remember this mostly from a performance of the contemporary Christian hymn “Here for You”. The main singer’s larynx was moving twice as fast as the melody being sung, which I especially noticed right before the bridge toward the end of the song. On the final “Let it fall”, I saw his larynx tightening and ascending as he ascended in pitch. Then on the “We welcome you with praise”, his larynx started bobbing up and down rhythmically in that the larynx was moving up at the start of each note and quickly moving back down. Now, assuming a stable larynx is not always likely due to possible lack of support, removing the stable larynx from the list of possibilities, I would like to know which is safest and which is the most unsafe among a larynx that bobs rhythmically to the music, a larynx that just shakes with vibrato and a larynx that reaches for the note.

Hey dude, big fan of the covers, I'm experimenting with mix voice at the moment (Chris Cornell, Layne Staley type stuff), and your description of the "tilt", although I've heard it before, just now clicked and helped me tremendously. Thanks man

6:47: Not something you're covering in this video, but I thought this would be useful. When I place my index upwards in front of me while going up in the scales as you`re doing, it`s so much easier to keep a clear sound. My sounds tend to be unclear.

I see on certain levels of your patreon it says "in depth lessons" does that mean 1-on-1 coaching?

I give one on on lessons but patreon is for extended lessons (like the ones I post here) as well as other more exclusive material. I also just posted a video offering vocal critiques if you’d be interested in that 😊

Great video, thank you. I can keep my larynx low while singing higher notes, but my throat is tensioning up anyway right above the larynx/ underneath the jaw. Probably the swallowing muscle. Any idea how to stop that?

@SterlingRJackson 2 жыл бұрын

Can’t really address the issue through writing. Basically there’s a second part of the throat that has to kick in to keep things working that takes over the tension you’re mentioning. Usually this is referred to as mixed voice but it can be tricky to find. Keep practicing man. You’ll find it if you’re determined 😊

@therealmanuelbauer 2 жыл бұрын

@@SterlingRJackson Hey, thank you for the quick response. I've been singing for 20+ years and I found my mixed voice already (although not that long ago). I just can't seem to get rid of this tension and no vocal coach has been able to help me so far. You seem to know a lot about what's going on in the throat, so I thought you might know, where the problem is. No need for a long explanation, maybe just a hint on what I should take care of to solve this, so that I can figure it out :) Btw.: Only discovered your channel 2 days ago and started digging through your content. Not only great lessons, but fantastic original music. Really dig the COSM-Stuff. Judging by the Posters in your room, we have a similar taste in music, I love Fair to Midland and Nothing More! So keep it up!

@SterlingRJackson Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words again. 😊 I can’t really diagnose your problem without hearing it. I offer online lessons but I also offer $50 vocal critiques where you simply send me video/s of you singing and I send a video back. Perhaps this would be beneficial for you?

@therealmanuelbauer Жыл бұрын

Great, thank you for the response. I will consider the video option and try to record something. Where do I send it or book the option?

Is there zero shift/movement in your adams apple when moving up here? Hard to tell here. But that would seem physically impossible.

@SterlingRJackson Жыл бұрын

As you sing higher you shift your larynx downward similar to yawning. This creates what’s usually referred to as maintaining a neutral larynx. Things move, but it doesn’t appear that way visually 😬.
