Hi Mark, I've been doing your exercises for more than a year and I've improved a lot and still working on it. I can now sing throughout my range comfortably on a low volume though, I am able to sing high notes (which I thought I would never be able to sing). My question is how can I sing loud with that comfort, I notice when I sing in a conversation level volume Im in control of the sound i sing in tune (to some extent) but when I try to increase the volume I sound flat, the tone as well doesn't sound good . I really want to sing loud. Is there anyway you could help me with that.

@voicelessondotcom

3 жыл бұрын

The issue is in the approach. When you think "louder" you imagine the sound to require more effort. That makes your body brace in anticipation. That compromises control. Instead - think about a communication. For instance, say the word "no" like someone asked you a simple question. Then say no again like the person just asked you the same question and you're slightly annoyed you have to answer again. Then say NOOOO like the person is really bugging you by asking the same thing over and over. The point is to focus on the result - not the effort.

I’ve heard different things about breathing from the nose. On one hand, supposedly you get more air when breathing through your nose, but breathing your mouth lifts the soft palette? Which way is more efficient in maximizing breath? Or is it different for each person?

@voicelessondotcom

3 жыл бұрын

The only reason a nose is on your face is to inhale. That's why smell receptors are in there. That's why it's lined with mucus membrane to cleanse the air of particles. That's why nitric oxide is produced in the nasal cavity. The only reason to inhale through the mouth when singing is a time restraint. It's quicker to inhale through the mouth - but never better.

@voicelessondotcom

2 жыл бұрын

Ahhh - but those high notes DON'T sound raspy and edgy at every volume nor on every vowel! When they are that way it's simply a disagreement between resonator (your throat & mouth), vibrator (your vocal folds) and the air flow. So work backwards. Sing B4 in a way that allows for a clear sound - no matter the volume or vowel. gradually explore the neighborhood (play with changing the shape of the vowel and adjust the volume). You'll need to adjust your behavior when singing up there to agree with the physics of sound - or else you'll get random results. This doesn't mean you can't create the sound you want - it means you can't approach it like the lower notes.

Hi Marx...Suhasini here.Its really an excellent exercise but when I try to sing high notes I am short of breath and even voice starts sounding scratchy. So can breath in between when I am going high? And how do I get rid of the hoarse and scratchy especially when I go high??😔

@voicelessondotcom

3 жыл бұрын

Both issues are related. Your throat is locking up as you sing higher so the voice becomes inefficient (loose breath) and sounds scratchy. The solution is to allow the resonance of your voice to move as you sing higher. You should feel the low notes down in your body but as you sing higher allow the feeling to travel up and back between your ears. Your voice may crack or cut out when you first try this - that's OK - it just takes a little coordination to smooth it out. Avoiding those cracks is what's causing your current problem.

Nothing wrong with a breathy sound if it's intentional. What I'm referring to is the association that high notes are always either breathy or belted. You'll develop much deeper skills if you focus on maintaining a consistent volume and clear tone as you vocalize higher. That will really expand your choices when singing!
