I always noticed that little dip in the tongue whenever I watch live performances. Now I know to let it come over time. Thanks, Ranja.

that really hit me when she said to sing your favourite song and then started singing "Wake me up"....oh we miss you AVICII....😑

so i did the exercise where you hold your tongue several times and sing, and I did it and sung a high note WITH EASE. keep in mind I used to barely belt that note.

1:26 who was watching this part in lockdown from the corona virus and is like NUH UH

I felt like my throat was straining, had no idea that my tongue placement was the cause of it thank you soo much for making these videos

I've been struggling with my larynx going down and going up for 10 months now. It makes me uncomfortable. Now I know why and it's because of tounge tension. I've been watching several videos, several vocal coach teachers but you're the one that makes my mind enlightened. Thank you for this wonderful video. You're the best❤

Heard someone say to be sure to enunciate each individual word in order to make them more clear. It makes my voice more relaxed and flow more naturally. Changed everything. This video just took it to another level. Just under a year before my first live show. Definitely following.

6:56 Tongue Retraction Exercises

😨 Wow! You don’t know how much this helped me, thank you x100 🙏🏽 I could never figure out how to stop sounding so nasally, keeping my tongue flat and raising my soft pallet is a little difficult for my brain to remember right now , but I know it’ll get easier over time

2:10 looks like that one randomized sim.

Ma'am you are just awesome! Very detailed teaching! I'm your new student from India😁

"When you yawn....." Dang it, I did yawn!

My daughter is trying to learn breathing positions how to breath when singing

I love your teaching styles. So clear! Thank you so much. I am 56 years old and singing was my newfound passion. 2 years ago when daughter quit vocal lesson after 2 sessions and had to pick up the lessons left coz they’ve been paid. From there have been watching videos for techniques. Thank you so much. You are an amazing teacher.

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! My voice teacher was describing where to put my tongue and how it should be going out but I couldn't figure out the right position! This helped so much and now when I sing the high note in my song it bounces off the walls!!

I love this and all of your videos and especially the fact that you said that maybe we are also doing it right ! sometimes we are so stressed on getting better, and limiting tension, that its hard to know what is actually causing it in the first place

its INSANE how big of a difference there is!! this video was incredibly helpful and has changed my voice for the better!! thank you so much

why do her character makes me feel relaaaaax ? cuz she`s honest and spontaneous .

This video has hands down changed my life thank you so much!!!!!

I’m really loving your teaching style,you’re charming with a professional approach

I loveeeee your video’s! I have been watching singing lessons for several years, but yours are the best! They are so clear and easy to understand! Thank you so so much!!! ❤️

Wow. You are the only one that helped me with my singing.. That retracted tounge was my issue and you helped me a llot

This is an excellent and informative lesson, with GREAT practical exercises! I want to mention here that tongue position is a VERY hard diagnostic for a singer to make for themselves. Doing these exercises will cause no harm to anyone... but it would be good to have a live voice lesson (once the planet is able to do those again) and have a teacher diagnose what issues might be happening. Then use this video and these exercises to address the issues. As the young lady says, it's a fine line between too far out and too far in, and relaxation of the tongue works in conjunction with a whole apparatus of other muscles (larnyx, diaphragm, jaw, neck, soft palatte). I love your videos and have added you to the list I give to students for further self-guided vocal progress...

Thanks! The examples of how it sounds (inside your own head) and how it feels were very useful!

Excellent video. I was most certainly not doing it right all along, and this is what sorted me out. I was getting exhausted when talking, but could sing fine, this made me understand why.

Hi!!! This video and all of the videos you made about singing , It helped me a lot . Thank you so much for sharing this with us . I was trying to find how to improve my singing voice and everything and all of them wasnt helping me but this video helped me a lot . Thank you :)

This was a GREAT lesson I have to see what else you have posted. I've been teaching music for 35 years and I think my students will love hanging out on your site and learning things. Sometimes they listen to others better than the teacher! hahah I am a huge fan of RELAX and sing.

If you have trouble with the tongue on the soft palate, study Mandarin. It has four different sounds in which the tongue goes up to the soft palate. In fact, one of the problems of learning Mandarin to English or English to Mandarin is that each language uses the tongue differently. It's fun teaching either language because you are confronted with changing so many ingrained habits of our languages. There is really no word "word" in Chinese and the underlying difference hear causes a great deal of confusion for speakers of either language.

You're an amazing teacher! Thank u

Love your presentation style! I'm just an old geezer who loves to sing for myself and I've noticed through watching this video of Tony Bennett and Diana Krall singing 'Love is here to stay.' How relaxation allows for timing variation and creative delivery. I find this relaxation really helps. This pair delivery a wonderful version of the song. Do you agree?

She explains everything so well. Thank you!

You freaking rock! Thank you for making these!

There's another kind of exercises I found useful: raspberry sounds, tongue trills, stretching the mouth and tongue, tongue twisters (the 'red leather yellow leather' kind). Perhaps the fact that they look so silly stops us from doing them more often, but they do help.

You're amazing seriously you deserve a lot more subs💖

Thank you Ranja for teaching patiently and clearly without yelling. 😊

Wow, this Video is really helpful for me!!! I could feel the difference in my singing immediately!

Wow, this did it for me! Well I'm not a great singer by any stretch, but I definitely notice a big improvement when I listen to myself with proper tongue position (no more kermit voice), and singing notes in my range is a whole bunch easier (actually it just feels easier to sing now, cool!).

Thank you, as an aspiring singer songwriter, this is a world of help.

Wow! I really want to have a vocal coach like her!

I love how you explain things!! Thank you

You are the best singing Teacher!

Thank you so much!!! You're a great teacher😊

Holy crap, what an amazing video! Sooo glad you made this and that I found it :) So much gold.

This is my favorite video to share with my students when talking about open space, tongue placement, and relaxed throat. You have the very best explanation and demonstration of this that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gifts with us!!

Helped me alot. I tried to find my problem because i strain my voice everytime and never found a solution. But with the exercises it is alot better.

Amaziiing! The roof of my mouth is always painful when I try to sing a lot of songs with high notes. I just need to relax my tongue behind my lower teeth and I think it helped! 🤩

You are so amazing!!! Thanks so much for your help!!! This really did help!

the back of my tongue feels like it's clogging my throat whenever i sing (but especially in my head voice) ive practced raising my soft pallette but my tongue goes up too. I just feel like my tone quality and volume would increase if my tongue could just MOVE OUT OF THE WAY but i can't control it.

This was really helpful. I've tried it and I could hear a difference. Also I watched some KZfaq clips of other singers, examples Beyoncé star spangled banner, was watching her tongue and it was relaxed and forward all the time. Thanks for the tip! You're amazing

I had a minor stroke last year. I used to be in an a Capella group and in a chamber singer group. Eventually a soloist. Thank you for helping me

I came to this video expecting another short and easily understandable video, then I realized this is a really intricate concept to work on.

how to ignore the feeling of awkwardness when we sing?

Hey this helped me get rid of the bumps in my voice when singing

I don't know who you are, but i already love you! You are teaching me the things i wanted to learn all my life but i had no opportunities. THANK YOU!

I used to have a vocal teacher from Russia and she did exactly the same exercise with the tongue like you did at 7:56 ' using a piece of gauze so it can be easy to hold the tongue .

thank You for these lovely tips, really good. thank you Ronja
