Hi Margaret, sorry you've been frustrated that you and your teachers haven't been able to discover the root of your shaky vibrato. I'm so glad I could help! It's actually pretty straightforward once you understand what's going on. In truth, most singing issues usually boil down to something going awry with support, so when in doubt, always check in with your consistency of support first.

Thank you Arden for your response! I do like this exercise too you've given us as it really isolates that glottal feeling in the throat when turning the vibrato on and off.@@ArdenKaywinVocalStudio

@@ArdenKaywinVocalStudio Sorry for not replying sooner! Is it already over? If so it’s alright, I just wanted to make sure :)

Jaydebs, please I have a question. How did you find your head voice?

@@okebaram try imitating the sound of an owl

Hi Isabella, thanks for watching. I have so many thoughts for you. . . . where to begin! First off, because you are classically trained, my guess is that you have an automatic subconscious wariness (or even fear) of belting because, as classically trained singers we are taught that it's dangerous and bad to take the chest voice up that high. And truth be told, without the right tools, it is. That fear can cause tension or holding which will effect the belt and the smoothness of transition as you go higher. So just something to investigate in your mindset. Second, in my humble opinion, there's no reason a teacher should ever insist that something be done in a belt. What's good for one singer with their unique range might not be good for another singer with their unique range. AND not all voices are built to do all things. Third: There are a number of reasons you could be feeling a difficult transition from a true belt to a true head voice. But in truth, I'd have to work with you and hear/see what you're doing to be able to accurately diagnose. It could be what you do when you belt, there could be certain tensions that exist, the way you approach your support and any changes you make in the shape of your resonance when changing registers could be the culprit, hard to say. A lot goes into it. Fourth: Yes! In the video you do hear me integrate mix as I transition. Mix is the bridge between registers, but mix won't happen if support is not consistent. It sounds to me like you've got the mix down but need more confidence in the way you're belting that it's healthy and sustainable. Reach out to me if you'd like to work. I do online lessons. arden@ardenkaywinvocalstudio.com

You're spot on, Arden! Belting is scary for me, and I'm sure there's some tension that's making it worse. I feel okay using my mixed voice most of the time, but I've had instances where a belt was insisted upon, and I just need to be better at it and make sure its safe. Thanks for your help! I'm signed up for your newsletter, and I'll be sure to save your contact info for a lesson.

I’m not all that sure how to describe it, but in my experience it’s like the amount of air you’re pushing into it. Like you put pressure on the words by pushing the air from your diaphragm

Hi Jaia, this is what we do with pro singers and aspiring pro singers all day everyday in The Intensive program! For most of you it's a thinking problem, not a singing problem because the body can't do what the brain is sabotaging, and that's what you've been experiencing created by all the judgement about how ugly your chest voice is. Check out this masterclass I did because I think it will give you some perspective on how we do this, and if you resonate, definitely book a call with me. webinar.ardenkaywinvocalstudio.com/s/nR2MHP

Hi Kristin, I feel your frustration. Here are two videos to give you SUPER clarity on what breath support actually is and how to do it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7NkhLOJ3cXSeIk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKeApZygnrOUhKM.html I hope this helps!! xo

I guess another way to look at it is consistent compression of vocal chords. Often when you ascend your range you start increase compression and at break area you just lose all the compression into falsetto. Probably you also drag your weight up there, though I guess it's easier for women cause you have lighter voices naturally. I'm a low bari I have all that unnecessary weight for singing, so I have much harder time connecting registers. So I'm working with resonance now.

This was an amazing question because I never would've found the videos she recommended. SO HELPFUL.

Support means breathing from diagraphm

David Austin, think of when you hold your breath and tighten your stomach muscles, like make your stomach strong (and it may bulge out a little when you do this). That's called engaging your muscles or your core and that provides support. In this exercise, she simply wants you to put your hands on your belly and keep that core engaged as you sing, in order words, keep that tightening of your stomach muscles which allows you to support your voice and control how much air you lose with your production of sound, which means you can last longer and sustain longer. That last part is known as breath support. Make sure you keep your back straight and your whole body posture well-aligned when engaging your core. If someone says "sing from your diaphragm" it's not a literal meaningful statement. It really simply means allowing your abdomen/belly/core muscles to flex in such a way as to control your breath as you sing. Unfortunately, voice teachers have a tendency to make such concepts mysterious and are often unable to teach what they are saying.

I replied to someone else with a similar question and I am copying it here for you. Hope it helps. Think of when you hold your breath and tighten your stomach muscles, like make your stomach strong (and it may bulge out a little when you do this).

@@okebaram Thanks a lot!

@@okebaram Hi,im learning how to support,when i use it my voice doesn't get tired but i sound a little mechanical and not to freely artistically,when i dont use support and dont think about it,i perform better vocally but my voice gets tired a lot easier.Why some teacher say that support must be done unconsciously,and that it works on its own by nature?you have to learn it consciously at first so it becomes unconcious? I'm using this type that this guy expalains for support. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kN5yZZpql63VZqs.html Also this is the type of singing im trying to achieve. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrViepqdsrPNeZc.html Thank's and i appreciate for your time.

@@georgeda90 Don't do it too much. Don't do it to the fullest extent. People teach different methods of mastering diapragmic breathing and support. I teach it differently, but you have to remember that support is about those abdominal muscles having the freedom to engage NOT having to engage, or forcing yourself to engage at maximum. So yes you can utilize that video which has worked for you, but try doing it just very lightly and let your body will tell you when you need to increase your engagement because you are running out of breath on a note you want to hold longer or make bigger. You can also focus more on not allowing your chest to rise and fall while singing so that you are making your abdominal muscles do the work (which should result in diaphragmic breathing and support while singing). I think that will help you unlock support correctly AND add versatility that won't stop your freedom in singing.

@@okebaram Thank's for responding,I'm getting what you're saying,so it's normal after 1 hour of singing to lose some low and high notes adduction but recover after 2-3 hours of rest?Also what do you teach?Do you have any video?

Of course you can fix it!!! The majority of the time cracking is a breath support issue. And as luck would have it, I'm actually doing a Breath Support Bootcamp this weekend on Sat 1/20 at 1pm PST / 4pm EST. It's online, interactive, live, hands on training - you'll learn the foundation of rock solid support so that you don't crack. And I'll be able to get in there with you and coach you on it to make sure you're doing it right. Here's a short video where I give all the info about the Bootcamp: kzfaq.infoadbRXW1J-I0?si=EiM3WTZH_MiDDZD0 and you can register here: buy.stripe.com/5kA9DH1Q1dNngG46ox I hope you will come!! Let's fix the crack in your registers :)

True that!! LOL good ear :)

What are you talking about? She goes up to Eb (which is higher than Db) before coming down to Db. There is a Db in the high part and highest note is even Eb that comes first in what she sang

She sang "Tell (Ab4) them (Ab4) how (Eb5) I'm (Db5) de-fy(Ab4)-ing gravity"
