Voice Lessons & Tips on Singing : How to Phrase Words When Singing

[anneka38]

shes really good

[lildanner19]

omg..this is the most ridiculous video I have ever seen.

[anyahSwho701]

you said "start" instead of "star" :P

[godluvsmejojo]

woow she went against everything my music directer tells me not to do..how i wonder what chu are and ur not suppose to breathe that much. she made it sound choppy.....like if u agree

[Bruvindahouse]

U breathe alot

[akakou456]

Thank u so much u helped me so much!!!!XD

[MrVaibhav2905]

its a very good basic lesson..all bad singers face that problem and the only solution is..work hard..

[Reggaebinghii]

Yeah she is better than the others... for one she don't talk as much as them! Gosh that drives me nutz!

[skbnvacaville]

I have noticed that Jackie Evancho breathes alot more than I do!

She doesn't "sound choppy" either. So it is a trick she has and it really helps not to particularly take a breath where others expect one to do so. She has a unique breathing pattern and it is in breaks that are seemless....but allow

her to still have the air needed for those soaring high notes.

Awesome singer!

[UtterlyPerfectDaniel]

Thanks so much!! I love all of your videos, they are so helpful <3 !

[007BellaRose]

what is UP with you and ' twinkle twinkle little star'?!

lool

[Douha75]

Still I fail doing this :/

[yeticakes]

Don't listen to the style of her vocal and her enunciation- listen to the breathing tips.

Conserve your air use when you are singing and use it optimally. Practice breath support AND control (and capacity)- there are plenty of exercises online!

[LeadGuitarist88]

i still sing like shit. >.< ill stick to screamo



[kekru184]

I find it hard to believe that a singing coach would use the phrase "whatchu are". Enunciate, enunciate, please. It drives me crazy to hear singers get lazy on these kinds of phrases...what you, don't you, can't you, etc.

[sierranicholle69]

i have singing lessons && im told no CHEW. thankks for trying to make me suck at life..

[belieber8890]

u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved

[haileygall97]

[YakPakStudious]

this will sound weird, but got tips on how to sing high notes like in the song, firework by katy perry, a year without rain by selena gomez or even the marinland commercial. If u could give tips obn those really high pitch note i want to sing high pitch like that.

[hondizial]

@YakPakStudious or mariah carry

[derubermax]

"Twinkle twinkle little start

How I wonder what CHEW are"

Hoo boy. 

[gulleymusic]

Add some light and that would help, also it is not "what Jew are"., Its "what You are".

Thanks for trying.

[heartsinice661]

Hi, Im 14 and singing has always been my dream. I unfortunatly wasn't born with a natural talent and I think I may be straining my voice. I think I'm forcing it. I also have trouble breathing between phrases and holding out a long word. HELP!!!

[Haleykitten123]

Your videos are wonderful and helpful. What is your number? i need your help!!!

[Cookiemonstercutie12]

That really helped im so glad i've watched her series!

[angelinodecaesteker]

[lovelaughliveism]

@lovefer26 she filmed them the same day

[jennifer101824]

she did all these back to back...

[kalajrobshaw]

love this

[sissy769able]

How do you make your voice bounce? I wanna be a good singer. My mom says i'm great but i actually sound bad. Parents these days xP

[truebeliber1000]

@sissy769able i know right! i want my voice to bounce but idk i just cant do it. i always wondered how singers have a wavy singing sound

[sissy769able]

@truebeliber1000 Yea but i only sound good when i whisper to myself xD

[truebeliber1000]

@sissy769able haha thats funny :) true that. and i have been praticing every day to make my voice vibrate. u have to do something with ur stomach. and now it sounds wavy :)

[OHitsRANDOMsarah24]

@truebeliber1000 the voice soundy "wavy" is called vibrato. &yeah you do something with your stomach, you push air then take it back rlly fast, and you do that like rlly fast, and it works.

I learned that by band(:

[truebeliber1000]

@OHitsRANDOMsarah24 cool :) yeah ever since i was 4 ive always wanted to sound like singers. i always used to wonder how the "wavy" part came out of your voice. i was watching some african show one day just to pass time and there was this lady who was singing and her lips was just going crazy! her stomach was not even going in and out! then i started wondering that i was doing it all wrong. othersingers like demi push in and out their stomach really fast. thanks for the tip :) add me as a buddy

[OHitsRANDOMsarah24]

@truebeliber1000 me to!! .. the four year old part, not the african part! lmao!!

&okay!(:

[truebeliber1000]

@OHitsRANDOMsarah24 lol

[salsamite]

@truebeliber1000 You shouldn't aim to be moving your stomach to achieve vibrato. It's supposed to be far more subtle. It's a variation in pitch and air expulsion. There is a vid on here by Singing Success on vibrato - very informative on the different kinds of vibrato techniques.

[cookkaden1234]

holy mama i have improved massively i envey you

[bfiocca]

Thank you so much for all your expert, clear and succinct teachings.I'm just beginning voice lessons and wouldn't give them up, but your lessons will be a greatly appreciated adjunct.

[DogsGoWhat]

If I did this every hour for a month would I be able to do it??

[TheTraineficionado]

How about when singing the song If it is love by Train?

[michael4291967]

thanks a lot....this really helped!!!!

[SpintoVanity]

I am a spinto-tenor with a vocal range of 4 octaves (C3 - C7) and I can belt well, with an ample vibrato and pure and ample whistle register and technically good arsenal and a 15 second melisma.

[bloomwinxgirl]

@SpintoVanity W-O-W

You're full of yourself. Anyone ever tell you that?

[SpintoVanity]

@bloomwinxgirl I didn't mean to hurt you in any way, I was just telling my abilities, good luck to you.

[Violet101ify]

[rockmetaljess]

Tip for singers: never sing "chu" this is a common mistake for many singers as they tend to combine what and you for "whatchu" not only is it improper English it also just doesn't sound right. However helpful tips and techniques nonetheless!

:)

[masterp678]

ths helped

[kanijahb123]

[TreeHugger200001]

[16brooke1992]

[paigeintheclouds]

@TreeHugger200001 your so dumb. bets shes better than you?

[lilbeatch]

@TreeHugger200001 *wear..........learn to spell before talking shit about other people

[shanaz091]

what happens when the song is really fast for example:

ldn by lily allen?

where there is no time to take a breath what could you do to not run out of air?

please, please, please reply

thanks

[fattirevsbud]

@shanaz091 I just checked out that song and Lilly Allen actually takes her breath after each phrasing:

"Riding through the city...my licence" Breath in quickly (or out for the diaphragm) "It doesn't get me down...priceless" breath and so on. Actually you can even hear her taking her breath if you pay attention,

hope that helps

[Peacelveharmony]

@shanaz091 There is still time to take a breath... It can't be a long drawn out breath, but there is time to take a small breath.. For example...

" Riding through the city on my bike all day, cause the filth took away my license" ( Quick breath in)

"It doesn't get me down and I feel ok, cause the sights that im seeing are priceless" ( (Breath), Everything seems to look as it should, but I wonder what goes on behind doors" ( Quick Breath). It is not a bog breath, more like a quick small gasp.

[salsamite]

@shanaz091 There is always time to take a breath. Take shallow breaths more frequently and/or ensure you're actually expelling all your air - you may find you have too much air, not too little. Do exercises to increase your lung capacity, like singing straight notes as long as you can. When you feel out of air, "lean" on your diaphragm (push it out a little, feel it just at bottom of middle of rib cage with your hand) and expel even more. Also, be careful you are not wasting air on the letter H

[0Doomsville0]

@shanaz091 limit your air use to last a phrase.

[veronicaohoh]

@shanaz091 if yu listen really closely, you can hear quick pauses. and a lot of songs where there are "no breaths", its cause they recorded themselves singing different parts and put the two (or three) recordings together :P

[tannewton]

@shanaz091 You cannot take huge breath as Larissa does here. But you can take a little amount of breath quickly as Lily Allen does in this video: 7Vmj9pebXJY (I hope, you know how the youtube links work)

[MsJohnblue]

How to get smart voice and smart power voice?

[IndigoCharlie]

I am loving to breathe

[Glitterthesky]

Thank you for posting this it helps me so much God Bless

[Jeanmarie63126]

numbergin these video's would be nice!! :-D

[LelaTomBoy]

she should put the belt on her stomach so everyone can see her diaphram movement!!! The red shirt isn't helping us see it move..

[gigglymeli]

damn i didnt know it took ALOT to kno how to sing!

[gigglymeli]

[ashselena33]

god thanks sounds so much better

[allahmalik2010]

OMG!! what is the writing thing doing here??i cant see anything!!

[VG2H]

I found all her videos usefull!

[dcshoecousa101]

Isnt it 'what you'? Not 'what chu.' That bugs me. She's a singing coach, but says the words wrong. 

[Gothylad]

I am born with the natural talent people say and i sing 8/10 now but i need to get a singing coach soon. :D

[taaaylorxx]

@Gothylad okay.. big headed much?

[Gothylad]

@taaaylorxx

Well people do say that and i can say that people say to me.

That's my only hobbie and best talent.. Everyone says so to me.

I can even hit high notes which and very high and sing opera and very hard songs.

So im not really big headed.. Im just saying what i can do.

[sokewt]

Thank you very much for these videos.

[andialto]

wow your vc are really helpful.

[andialto]

[ash11xi15]

[narawadee1977]

[angleslove123]

[tudiewootie]

[tmx225]

If you (me) been singing with your thoart for a long time, can that damage your thoart?

[Blackmick21]

Thank you for all your effort and help. God bless.

[raquelmjackson]

@beargrylls3 Yeah that's what I'm saying.

[raquelmjackson]

She said "Twinkle, twinkle little start" it's STAR .Lady you're teaching breathing but you're not using what you teach and you're running out of breath and running the lyrics all together. I'm just saying lol

[gradygjohnson]

@raquelmjackson ... I heard your singing if that's what you call it. You sound like a pack of starving puppies getting their tails cut off!! Now put that shit in ya got damn corn cob pipe and smoke it ya ugly ho!!!

[MegaAnime11]

@gradygjohnson make ur own fucking video of u ur self singing u little fucker befor u talk shit u ass wipe

[beargrylls3]

@raquelmjackson I'm just saying.

[raquelmjackson]

It's cool that she's teaching us singing lessons but who's going to teach her correct pronunciation? I'm just saying lol.

[AdamLambertBaby27]

Jeez people give her a break !! Truth is, your probably only criticizing her becasue you can't sing like her.

[illbeurluckycharmz]

i dont get that she said breathing out of your lungs but breathing in or whatever she said

[jawzmuzik]

SHES SEXY I WONDER HOW NASTY SHE IS IN THE SACK.

[tammysyl]

@jawzmuzik like you, bonehead!

[bigdick11017]

@jawzmuzik lmfao

[ARGTHO]

all your videos really help me, thanks :)

[yazi140]

how the hell u sing 4rm ur diaphram????

[lynkkx]

hehe dont really need a lesson for that just your common sense who can sing a song with 1 breath anyway

[gadella1985]

any classical techniques available?

[xxLiveForPeacexx]

No shit, Sherlock.

[Roweign143]

it's not "obvious", it's very different and not simple. Phrasing or chunking words/phrases in singing is different from the normal ones because BREATHING should be managed.

[Beyoncebeyond]

i have a natural talent but im not pro cuz im only twelve v.v I SOON WILL BE!!!!

[ItsCorrineSoScream]

This was very... Obvious.

[evanom2]

This lesson was very............... obvious.

[papisNY]

really bad...

[Jasyluv]

uhhh...yea its you not chew ur telling us how to pronounce th ewords but u cant even do it urself!! ughhhh:(

[leonk1998]

why does she do twinkle twinkle little star? why not a screamo song? lol jk

[LizzieMeg1984]

dont say whachew are

[RMoonflower]

If you are going to criticize her, then do the world a big favour and put your video up, and please show us how it's done. Otherwise watch and learn.

[sWaGaLyKcRaZy]

@RMoonflower yeahh! lol thaz wusup! nvr seen ayonee stand uhp to pl like dat .ha GUD JOB! =]

[kushforthepaper]

@RMoonflower ohhh shitttt.

[lilcuti3able]

@RMoonflower lols dat is szo true.........lols

[Kam68554]

I agree with you!

[Pandza57]

dont CHEW its YOU

just a hint

[92benno92]

"Sounds really tu-choppy" Irony : )

[cheyenneroks]

expert village lady person

dont say chew when u sing what u are u say what chew are

its not that hard to pronounce what you while singing :D

and if ur afraid to sing in front of ppl look at the exit signs or a wall or look at cars passing by if ur outside or sumthin :D

[MrLilRezboy]

im a 14 year old boy but i have a very high voice. everyone tells me i should join quior but i dont know if people will laugh at how high my voice is.

[CommentWriter]

@MrLilRezboy they'll laugh at how you spell choir

[MrLilRezboy]

@CommentWriter lulz i faild at choir....

[ChrisPacfart]

@MrLilRezboy

you are still very young, you have all the time in the world.... try to find a decent vocal coach and avoid expert village tutorials by all means.... cause they are all but experts, they are more like bullshit village

[MrLilRezboy]

@ChrisPacfart lols thanks

[Mimmio97]

@MrLilRezboy

don't care about what people say. if you want to join quior, and you think you're good, then go for it! they are probably much worse than you!

[livingonviolentends]

shes good

[moviemaker1000tyler]

hhhmmmmmmmmm...

[BaB3B001]

I remember when I was was 7-10 I wasnt scared to sing infront of people but now Im scared to death to do it and it pisses me off cause I really wanted to be in the choir does anyone have any tips of how to get out my shell?

[macy778]

Well. I'm realy having a problem with my friend, with teaching her how to sing. (im not saying i am any expert on it) She cant hit the notes, and she dos'nt sing loud, cuz she trys and she cant... what should i tell her to do 1st?? (and also her tonsils out when she was little) does that do any effecting on singing??

[isaac7here]

Lewna Lewis and mariah carey are the best!!!!... Oh!!1 lessons....:S bla bla bla bla whoever can sing is borned to sing Just wasting time with lessons. It gets out from heart :D

[sw146]

@isaac7here, But look at sade she has a beautiful voice and she didnt discover it until her early twentys..

[neillken]

hahahahaa really mright man

[jecissalynn]

How I wonder WHATCHU are! haha! :)

[UrsulaThings]

She isn't singing right.... :-(

[Layms4ever]

I born with the horrible singing talent......

but sometimes i still can sig well but low...

[gobola190]

so, one of the things you need to practice is project your voice

[jasontrottersinger]

I CAN SING LIKE STEVE PERRY!!!!! BUT I HAVE NO BREATHING TECHNIQUE. SO I AM LEARNING TO BREATH WITH MY DIAPHRAM INSTEAD OF MY CHEST. {{{{{{{{{{THANKS : Larissa Lam!!!!!!}}}}}}}}}}

[ihateamanda09]

[xOxPaRiS2xOx]

hah...all the comments below mine are hilarious... it was fun reading them all XD

As for the video..... idk what to say.. whatever happened to "phrasing"?

[MGmonkeys44]

it is not how i wonder "what" you are it is "where" you are what you are dosen't make any sense.

[XoXoXoChIChIXoXoXo]

she teaching how to sing, not the song

[dillondramatic]

@MGmonkeys44 he was just helping shit, or she

[AshleyLagaresIsSexy]

@ MGmonkeys44

It means what is a star

[ForAll23]

You have a point. The exercise have a mental effect + that it involves the body.

[chrisangelfreaklgirl]
