Brysea R , go see her performances, she is amazing.

Jacqueline Black hello there! Thank you so much. That's very kind of you to say. If you ever have a question and want to pick my brain, I will do my best to answer and help! If you PM my Facebook business page, that's probably the easiest way to have a conversation. All the best! Have fun with Countess. Some of the best music ever written!

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! :)

P.s. beautiful voice! (And personality) :)

Everyone starts somewhere. Smile. Take a deep breath, & start warming up!

Guadalupe, here is a video response for a staccato exercise. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mp5di9mdvdanZ3k.html Thanks for watching and all the best!

plus you were great at the proms last night :)

Hi there, Anytime you feel any air escaping, think of not blowing out your air or getting rid of your air. Think of spinning and of resonance, NOT volume. You're not looking for a loud middle you're looking for a flexible and secure middle. On any exercise that you want, try thinking of producing sound on an "inhale." It's just a way to trick your brain into not overblowing. Also, your breath coordination needs to line up in a way that you aren't "tucking up" or overblowing your air. Think of a steady consistent stream. In order for that to happen you will have to temper your appoggio or, to put it another way, balance how much your abs and diaphragm are dancing. They have to be working together the whole time, when one leads or follows too long, tension or lack of tension (air escaping) can happen. I hope that helps. AGAIN, I always want to stress that any advice I give is based on what works for me, I haven't heard you sing personally so I can't diagnose exactly what you're doing. I hope this points you into a direction of self discovery for what will or won't work for you. All the best!

rafael pacifico hi there! I will do a calming breath technique just to get me started. Inhale 4 counts hold 2 counts, exhale 6 counts hold 2 counts. Repeat the process until you feel relaxed and in tune with your breath. You can use it as a challenge also to train for longer phrases all you have to do switch up the count numbers. Another exercise is the do scales on lip trills until your air is completely out, each time trying to go a little longer than before. I’ll do some percussive exhales with my lips in an “u” position. Just some staccato exhale pulses (kind of like you see in movies when women are giving birth). Really engage your abdomen, your tummy should move a lot. Ps that’s not how your breathing should function it’s just something to get the breath ready to work. Like a stretch before running. Hope that helps!

thank you very much! it is a big help! :)

Is this Lily? I want to make sure so I don't repeat myself. :)

Yes, thank you for answering all of my questions and I'm sorry that I took up your time with those questions.

No problem! I just wanted to make sure I answered the comment. :) Have a good one!

You too, thanks again!

Nonsense.
