[MetalLeg73]

I was just watching your videos and came across this one and it may just be what I've been looking for. A lot of the sound you've demonstrated with the nasty chest voice is something I've been battling for a while now with my higher non-falsetto notes and I think I breathe the way you demonstrated for the chest voice. I'm an average singer, good enough to be in a choir that close to 400 people in my school try out for and 65 get in, but I'm no soloist. I'd love to be a solo singer and I think

[Kubura094]

You are the best vocal teacher on youtube :D !!!

[TheMrsFolarin]

i feel as though with your videos i will make it in this music industry . Best Believe i will be thanking you very much .

[manivong100]

This really helped me!! Thanks now my bro won't bother me about this!!! :)

[Pinkprincessa80]

aww i love your voice thanks for the tips i'm trying to practice my singing again this helps :)

[Whispers5000]

I think that demonstration would have been better with your shirt off!

[tfitzgerald02]

This help me sooo much! Thank you and thank the Lord Im actually singing now! I can't believe it! My life is so much better. Again thank you

[tobimissu]

i love ur voice it is dreamy and this mite b weired but i love ur accent im from england soo tht y i love ur accent xx

[YoureFavouriteGirl]

I'm a Dutch girl, with a great dream, I ever want to be a good and famous singer , but it's only just a dream and I don't think he will come true, but still believe in that dream.

You're a really good singer!

And you tutorails are verry good, I can already breathe better while singing!

Thank you very much

ps. My English isn't verry good i'm sorry!

[mightynorman]

take a couple of shots and you'll sing better instantly :P

lol, just kidding :)

nice lesson :)

[marasam88]

What would you do about the top of your throat getting sore? No matter how relaxed I am my throat always ends up getting sore about one minute later.

[jasminekost1115]

@marasam88 Train and practice and it will become easier, you just need to find your natural sound first so you don't destroy your vocal muscles. Like any other muscle you need to exorcise them slowly and build them up in the correct way.

[910385103858]

I see what i want

[ikashebu]

it's hard to know when you're fat.. believe me..

[27dedrummer]

wow man, sub+

[bcpoetic]

I just passed out trying this hahaha

[b8areaXgrl]

It took me a long while to figure out why my stomach wasn't even moving...i just ate -_-

[naruto30036]

u rock, now my voice sound better and feels better and this is the frist i seen a real singing lesson.

[WonderWomanFan4life]

wow.. i wished you were my vocal coach!! are you in Los Angeles?

[shannenbabbishaz]

I can't do it... my belly doesn't move ahhh ;((

[MayaLou14]

Cute!

just saying!<3

[yukichancinnamonroll]

wow. seriously thank you!!!!!!!! this is the best explanation of how to use the diaphragm because every single person that ever explained it to me, i never got it. thank you! :)

[howoreyou1]

ok, i have a big problem, and please mate mail me as soon as possible. i have this play i am doing and i sing in it. my friend say i need to breath in the nose only, i try it hard. and i don't want to make a fool out of my self, when it's time for action, can you help me in anyway

[subrynnah]

is that a word? i always make up words... haha(:

[minniefluff9595]

@subrynnah the diaphragm is a real word...... it is what we need to breathe -----> 01:03 <----- this will explain

[TheJoshjim]

@minniefluff9595 I think he knows that, he was quotting what Eric said !

[DawgFL]

SHOULD I BE PUSHING MY STOMACH IN WHEN EXHALING AND SINGING? I think my voice sounds a lot better when I do that.

[doubler3dpanda]

Oh wow. I tried this and applied it to my singing and I found that my voice doesn't tremble when I sing long notes. Thanks for the help!

[suddenpee]

He used nose voice to make it sound that chest breathing and diaphragm breathing has soo much differemt. HE just pretend to take in chest breaths. at around 8.55 he forgot to fake his chest

[two2birds]

It's not fair. You should not be that fine AND knowledgable.

[mikaelasmomma10]

You're an amazing singer and sooo helpful i love you!!!! haha

[Colman3594]

@melisason momma said that alligators are angry cause they got all them teeth but they ain't got no toothbrush -adam sandler

[WhatIsAnAllora]

I always get a tight throat when I sing. It's so annoying and feels really uncomfortable, so this really helped. Thanks (: I have a few videos of me singing on my channel, you can probably tell that I have a very poor singing technique.. ><

[Gushize]

smart nigga lol

[xnadiaaaaaaa]

i can't expand my back :|

[RIFFnSOLO]

my mom's always asking where her diaphragm is...now I can tell her!

[iamawesome6398]

Thank you SO much! I've always wanted to know what the whole deal was with singing from your diaphragm, and now I get it! These exercises helped me so much, and I really saw improvement in my voice. So thank you for this helpful video! :)

[hkreal38]

5:50 I'm fat so I couldn't do that part :(

[AjahDawn]

I think my diaphragm is broken =)

[ShqipeMeDyKrena1]

Relaxing your lungs is What Your Lungs do after a Yawn. Even a Self-Induced Yawn. After a Few Self-Induced Yawns, Filling Your Lungs with air your lungs are able to Manipulate Easier... Great Video!!!!!

[xxchuletiitaxx]

Some people think "singing" is all about bein famous.. No is not!! Is about PASSION for singing!!!! Famous singers there are MANY! But famous singers with real talent? Not always..

@moneyquickeasy then you will get all the attention your mom never showed you, and you will be validated in the fact that people pay attention to you, and that will be enough for you, because your hollow inside, and need the validation of others for self assurance.....................­.

[sanskarvaidya]

this helped a lot!!!

[PinkNinjaMaster]

My nose and lips feel like they vibrate when I breathe a lot through my diaphragm.

[bassseck13]

i cant open my back or my sides only my stomach

[Piarose7]

@bassseck13 you do, you just can't feel it at the moment but it comes with time the more your muscles around the diaphragm are trained, you also can sit on a chair with a back and feel your backmuscles expand.

[ShesLizaT]

ur good ! this is so helpful ! but how do you do 10:25 . ? "/

[xsaviee]

i got fucking dizzy just breathing dude

[LovableNails]

@cullen237 lol i have the same probelm im 12 too i lost my power in belting and lower notes but i can still do whistle though

[priscila126]

@roberto8torres:

i am guessing with a guitar, as with any instrument, you sit up straight. the top half of your body should have a posture similar to that of standing up.

[tweenvids1]

Soo..urr do you do private lessons?? late at night?  you know..so it could be CLOSE and personal xD OOFT

[roberto8torres]

this posture thing is standig up, right then what if your sitting down with like a guitar?

[Lili64030]

that really helped i noticed how b4 in recordings ive done ive been sounding nasally and when i did that excercise i immediately noticed i sound way better(but i cant stand like that everytime i sing lol) genuis...

[spitearth]

ohhh thats smile!!!! he knows how he is hot! by the way i´ve learned a lot!!

[ROBINSOREAL]

[Kelly123251]

hello, i still dont understand how you are using your diaphragm...

[spazzcat03]

Hi could you watch my videos and tell me if i should keep doing what i'm doing , or if i should just hang it up. thanks enjoy your videos. spazzcat03

[OnlyForInFlames]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[zaw316]

what is your hat called.

[GameCardTeamSilvR]

Im too buff to squeeze, seriously what should I do.

[jleer1]

@GameCardTeamSilvR well, he said that abs can prevent you from filling your lungs to their full capacity, and they squash your lungs and diaphragm, preventing an easy breath, so although you might want them because you think they look good on you, they could prevent you from singing propperly. If they were a little bit smaller, you would probably be able to squeeze a bit more.

[alexstar24mtg]

what make you better is your good intention~!!vthat make the diference~!!

great voice lesson.,, i learning so much and i improve alot~!! thank you;EricArceneaux .

i take your lesson because my son's listen your lesson.

[KaityCookie]

You are awesome!!!

[DonnaBotha]

I have been singing for about five years now, yet I have never had someone explain this to me like you have; not even a music school. Thanks so much!

[APrettyUglyDuckling]

i can do the belly and back expansions but i cant do the side rib cage one :(

[onlyavril123]

So hot.....

[SabbiShake]

@onlyavril123 super hot lol

[highnotstupidorblind]

Thank you so much. I've watched all your videos. Maybe I don't sound like Justin Timberlake but now i have a better sexy voice.

[gluis2k]

Great video man thanks.

[ummm1295]

thnx for takin the time to explain this so well

u've really helped me

keep doin wat u do cuz u rock

[missdiva65]

Watching you, i kinda a feel like you are hitting on me!! great advice too :)

[january0123456789]

@missdiva65 you know I felt the same way, but couldn't quite put in words. lololololol

[azumirocks]

That was really helpful! I have a question though. I'm auditioning for this musical, and I've sung completely with my throat until just a few weeks ago when I found out I was doing it all wrong. How much can you use your throat? If you're breathing with you diaphragm, but still use your throat is that alright, or can that damage your chords? Thanks.

[bejerama]

@azumirocks You can't sing without your throat the same way you can't sing without you diaphragm. Just keep your throat relaxed. Tension = bad. That's basically what people are telling you when they say you're singing with your throat.

[mupsen123]

laborsly, is that aa word HAHAHAHAHA :D Your the best sing teacher ever! PEACE

[HoneyBearAngelEyes]

This was very helpful! Thanks Eric! I was close but not quite there.

[jangmin29]

can u teach me how to reach high notes? huhuhuh very hard .. when i tried to sing high notes .. my throat hurts! huhuhuhuhuhuh.. i can sing simple song from diaphragm.. hope you can teach me ..

[Mszacoustics]

what if your fat and you cant squeeze

[Ashabobo]

@Mszacoustics less eating may help a fat person lose weight but they dont believe it.

[sprax3]

@Mszacoustics lol then you shit out of luck



[betoshky3]

@Mszacoustics you can still feel something moving in there ;) I tell you out of personal experience xD

[BlackLightning20101]

@EricArceneaux Now you know that you were in the wrong for wearing that wifebeater and that hat...all that flexin was unnecessary lol. It oughta be a crime to be that fresh.

Anywho, I've been following your videos and you're pretty good. Really good. Thanks a lot...I've gotten better because of you...

I'm going to be a little nosy but whatever: how high and low can you go? I know that range is circumstantial but hey...I'm a guy and we have similar voices so...why not?

[Marknarcotic]

Alright so... it's my first day of trying to learn how to sing like a pro via youtube. I'm choosing you because so far, you make sense the most. All i saw from other videos were bluntness, show offs, and a woman that sings like a fucking ghost.

[Metamorphisize]

finally someone who makes sense... unlike stupid expert village

[TheKInKmn]

THANK YOU

[16mangaka16]

dear eric, how can i clear my voice? XD it's kinda wierd cuz when i sing my voice doesn't sound clear :/ it's sounds like something's in my throat...i don't know how to explain it but when i sing aaaahh it sounds like raaaahhh how can i fix this? D:

[ketsia2965]

i always make up words... so funny! nice video!

[teychal]

Hi!

Can someone tell me what he said at 7:58 - 8:01 (from pressure to breath)?

[krishnaclassic]

@teychal I guess it should be "just enough pressure that you know whether it's directed breath"?

[racer2k1260]

@teychal "Just squeeze just enough so you can feel pressure so that you know where to direct the breath." :)

[playinggod123]

you are so fucking hot.

[lxmk7k9myqz]

hi mr eric.um i wanna learn to do scale degree and falsesetto!

[cfwhy]

this is the very foundation of how to sing long endings.. we see how luciano pavarotti can sing those very long endings and this is bcoz he is really efficient in bringing in the air... and also we must learn to economize in the breathing when we're singing long endings of a phrase.. after every phrase of the song u have to pay attention to see at which point you have to start taking your breath and take as much as you can without sacrificing the point you start to sing.

[ChRiStInACoRbIn]

when i sing i think i sound good but when i ask my sister if i sound good she says im okay do you have a segustion on how i can here my own voice and know how i sound because i like to sing in public and if i suck i would like to know to know what i need to work on please please please write back:(

[TheCharlenecm]

you are so sexie

[ObitoKid]

You Guys heard him its all about getting That Xbox "360 degree expanstion"

[Straydogsfreerun]

sound like usher

[TheHotTidy]

Thx for sharing definitely using this technique.

[shastamcnasta666]

can anyone learn to sing? or do only some people have it or others just don't?

[TheHurrigabe]

@shastamcnasta666 Anyone. He pointed that out in another video.

[sofia4utube]

@shastamcnasta666 Anyone can learn. But not with any technique...
