i didn’t realize how my tmj could be making it harder for me to sing

Recently I saw this vocal coach explaining how to spot this mistake: place your index finger in the back of your jaw (bone going down from your ear), and your middle on the "hinge of the jaw" (by the earlobe). When you open your mouth, and the hinge kinda pops out so you feel it with your middle, but your index doesn't move much, then you're doing it "wrong". So the right way is to open your mouth, nothing pops against your middle finger, and your index is slightly pushed back. I was wondering what you thought of this, Tara (and company), though I gotta say, it felt like magic ever since I learned about that, so my natural instinct tells me 👌👌

Ooo, wow. I need to see Tara's input on that. Sounds very interesting.

My teacher told me that to avoid the tension on the lower jaw, we should raise our upper jaw instead so the lower jaw involuntarily goes down.

I honestly find it rude people aren't even reacting to this great lesson or appreciating it and immediately demanding or begging for a reaction video... like, c'mon, say something about how cool and helpful this video is!

Imagine thinking people are rude because they didn’t want to waste there time writing a 30 minute reaction for no reason.

Please please talk about recognizing when you're damaging your voice when singing. My voice gets tired after singing one song. Even a bit strained despite doing my absolute best to sing from the diaphragm. But after a few minutes of rest my voice feels alright. Help

@@jaquilward840 HEY i know Tara hasnt replied yet, not sure she will, BUT I figured something out! I realized that i was pushing way too much air out as i sang. The goal isnt to push my lung-full of air out at once, rather to sing with compression (a concentrated stream of air, but still without tension). Not sure if that was your problem but it's fixed a lot for me!

GREAT VOCAL COACH👏🏽!

Before even watching the video, I’d like to thank you for this! My TMJ has been really sore today so I’m sure whatever I’m about to watch will help!

That intro was EVERYTHING. This video really helped. Thanks!

Oooh Catherine. I love your voice!!!

This was great and helpful because we need to know how to relax our jaw when singing👍⭐✨

Great video! I'm currently working on jaw tension with my teacher and you had some great tips.

That’s so true!! That helps so much😍 thanks

I’ve been singing professionally for 40 years. Started having a problem with vibrato a few years ago and never new I had TMJ till I was diagnosed recently. I can’t open my jaw wide enough without pain. I find these exercises very helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

When my throat is dry I get a nice raspy voice too

While Singing metal music I get a little intense so I tend too forget how much I'm holding back my jaw, it always hurts after. This eliminated it thanks guys

Description: Today I'll be going over how to Strengthen your mix Me: Wait what?

+tarasimonstudio *Thanks for examples of the how and how not.* There are many ways to pull off the first excerpted Song this vid: *AMAZING GRACE / TRADITIONAL* (John Newton) Canterbury Press/Olney Hymn Foundation, MCPS-PRS I tend to apply embellishments consistent with the Scots' _Piodbareichd_ customs. For me, jaw tension is strictly a theatre character tool. The second example I recognize as a slowed-down version of New Orleans (LA, USA) pop: *IKO IKO (JOCK-A-MO) / Multiple artists* (Barbara Hawkins/Rosa Hawkins/Joan Johnson) Trio Music Inc., BMI
