I'm just curious about this... should your diaphragm be sore like any other muscle when you work out, because I was singing for 7 hours the other day literaly, I normaly don't sing that long, usualy its just 2 to 3 hours when I decide to sing, and is this a bad thing? or does it just mean that I used it a lot and had it flexed too long? (it doesnt hurt a lot but it feels sore as if I went to the gym to work out.)

[Retrosurrection]

It's gonna feel that way yeah. Did you feel anything in your lower back?

[refici222]

also sing from your heart, thats what the blues is all about,Andra buchelle was on american idol and told the kids on their to sing from your diaphram,thats where the power is. practice scales and vibreto and intently listen to the polished singers and see how they sing.

[Retrosurrection]

Thats subjective, you can sing soulfully but that won't improve on technique, soul isn't technique its just warping of syllables and tone a bit which you can obtain when you master your connection between your soft palette and your diaphragm.

[DavidMassey08]

so if it feels a bit sore then im probably singing correctly right? its very hard for me to find good songs to sing realy, because today's rock realy isnt good vocals and classic rock like queen is out of my range, im not a bass, maybe a beritone or tener... i dunno what to sing except for choir songs... :(

[Retrosurrection]

If you feel sore in your throat you are straining or placing it wrong. The only places that should feel sore are in your diaphragm and your lower back but still, thats if you are REALLY powering out. Message me sometime I can go over some stuff with you if you want.

[hannabanana848]

[dashboardc33]

[techluvr15]

ur hot & u look a lot like someone i kno

[stellar95]

okay.........you're one of the best I've seen on youtube :)

There aren't many good singers on youtube

[javakat343]

I have alway had breathing problems so this is helpfull.. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM is that I CAN NOT sing words in my head voice I don't know how to discribe it but when I go into my head voice its only for the siren exersises and stuff. I can't acctually sing a song soley in my head voice (which I shouldent anyway)

[javakat343]

I think you are probably one of the only decent singers on yourtube! hahaha

[chatsalot]

her version is the EXACT same as robbies only it says he not she and it stinks

[umassbluangel]

same exact words... nothing like the original though. she sings it different. and i dont like his version.

[MiSsC0NcEdED]

cool

[chatsalot]

not being rude but next time you mention a song in you vid use the rightful owner and singer of that song (robbie williams made angels not Jesica simpson, and he is wayyy better, and deserves credit for his song)

[umassbluangel]

i was copying HER version so it wouldnt make sense to do it your way. sorry

[riverBlow]

yea i want to practice but i got noware to go! lol

[WorldOfNothingness]

thanks!~^^. like a lot. because ihave NO idea of how to sing, but i would love to try, and your tips were...good and useful^^. thank you...again =]

[jacek141]

Im European and I know that Angels is a song of Robbie Wiliams not Jessica Simpson!!! ;)

[sharonrocker]

omg it really sounds relly different!!!thanks 4 the sugestion i didnt know that drink water before singing was good, i´ll try!!!

[crazyvietnamesey]

you sounded good in both of them man! the second part was just softer and more relxing hahaa

[dramaddict91]

u know.. i dont think u really can sound bad. no matter how hard u try. i wonder if youd sound even better if you actually took lessons?

[XXXConspiracy]

Thanks- that helped me alot....

[jason1der]

i wana connect chest to head !!!

[bitbex06]

go on American Idol please

[panzarw]

Girl your so cute, i noticed that all girls that kknow how to sing are cute, so umm in which is better to sing i didnt get in the end you sounded a bit better with head voice. thanks for the tips ))

[jobijuan17]

jessica simpson, plz get it right Robbie Williams altho ill forgive u cos ur not 3 bad

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

[snotft]

[wawa1089]

[ixluvxidina]

x-x-x

[ryanspirit]

u SHOULD eat a light meal before singing, not a full meal cos it could shorten ur breath and stuff. yes drink lots of water.

[unrealjew]

Look here....that ent jessica simpsons song!!!

IT IS A BRITISH SONG -BT ROBBIE WILLIAMS WHO IS BETTER THAN JESSICA SIMPSON LOL...

i struggle to reach certain notes without straining huff.

:(

[FoxxyGen]

:) You are really cool, and a good singer! Keep up posting more videos! :)

[Jezzorzscizzorz]

thanks! that helped soo much! friends say i sing well, but i'm not using my diaphraghm and i was like "how the freeeaakk do you use it?!" :] thanks to you, now i know!

[apumic]

Fun video and well-produced.

You have a lot of charisma and personality.

Nice contralto sound to your voice, btw; with some work, you could be a great vocal talent.

[fabulousbean]

that was helpful - but whats a head voice?

[DeppObsession1963]

Thank you. I'll try. lol I'm not going to become a GOOD singer ... but at least I'll be better ... maybe ... haha

[oceanline]

Fuck.... oh cant find anyone to "fake punch me" what should I do now??

[christinalovesuuu]

thankss for thatt =]]

[msxmassacre]

you have an amazing voice. :)

i'll try and keep this in mind, because i have trouble with when to use both. haha. thanks.

[eonyoung]

Thanks for this, it helped me :D.

[deaddisco167]

ur really pretty

[bethyboo07]

:) thankyou you helped me loads

[johnob]

that song is from robbie williams originally.

[andyh0316]

lol damn , nice nice

[skyhart24]

When I try to breath deeply I get a head ache. I'm pretty sure thats not supposed to happen. lol Can you think of anything I might be doing wrong?

[jcamirob]

it has to happend , thats a prove u did it right

[starrynightsky]

this video really helps :) I really like how confident you are :p I can never publically speak, let alone to a webcam =) and im not a lesbian or anything but ur really pretty =)

[umassbluangel]

thanks for watching and for the compliments!

[RobCorbett]

Great. The "someone's gonna punch you" trick is the best tip ever for locating the diaphragm. I finally found it! QUICK QUESTION: should EVERY line of singing come from a deep-inhale-then-quickly-tensi­ng-up-the-diaphragm-then-proje­cting-out-from-it? Should even the higher head notes ultimately come from the diaphragm too? THANK YOU!

[frankliotti]

I loved the chest voice too =D , it sounds like shakira..uahuahuha ^^ , but u r great, u know!!!! I love u!!!!

[oneradbrunette]

your so right

beathing is a HUGE part of singing

i love watching your videos!!

[daaanish]

Watching this video has helped me with my singing quite a bit. I will be posting my singing vids soon, so you should check them out! thanks for posting this :]

[StargazerBlue]

Wow that did help quite a lot, so thank you so much for making this video!

[umassbluangel]

no prob!

[andyinbuffalo]

sweet kid but not ready for American Idol...

[umassbluangel]

Thanks... I am not trying out for Idol. Look at my other vids how how I REALLY sing!

[andyinbuffalo]

with your personality and your sweet looks you will go very far, that I am sure of.

[Shockwave3000]

Interesting, Ive never realized that you should use a diaphram or that there were 2 different types of singing. I like yelling songs so I kinda just... yell.

[trboh]

Gosh, it is taking all my super powers to not let Perry make a comment about how girls should use their diaphram.

[Shockwave3000]

Haha, oh man that made me laugh so hard.

[cashcowww]

it's diaphragm actually

[inuyashaxx]

I'm confused. You sang in your chest voice and your head voice, both without using your diaphragm, but you didn't do it *with* your diaphragm. Did you forget or is it not in the video or...?

[umassbluangel]

I DID forget. Thanks for pointing that out! DOh! Well if you want to see how to go back and forth, go check out the actual video I made of me singing Angels- I used both in that one. Thanks!

[DreamerOfNight]

You have a very powerful voice, and though you haven't taken lessons I can totally see why people ask you "how to sing." You're a very good singer!

I'm going to try to make a video response to your 10 questions now; don't get your hopes up, though, it's probably not going to work (I can't seem to get my videos into a format that will post on YouTube).

Have a nice night!

[umassbluangel]

Awesome! I am psyched to see your response!!!
