Singing High: Belting & Getting Rid of Nasality

[MollyKeeter]

The nasal version sounded ala Chris Brown and the good version was ala Usher. Anyway, this is so helpful as I am trying out for a part in a musical with some high notes and I don't want to be gross! Thank you so much!!!

[yash5973]

@MollyKeeter nasal voice sounded like dumb-ass akon

[ROMAYATENEA]

very good !, thank youuuu !, kiss, from Naples Florida ,

kiss, Ruben Celiberti

If you have wall at your home, you can use it as support. If you don't, build one!

[monicarufina]

Diaphragm is between abdomen and thorax.. we have to make our diaphragm flat to expand our breath pressure so our neck and vocal chord relax and the air can flow very easy to reach that high tone with good sound quality.. cool video with simple explanation =)

[HacjienceYukona]

Expansion in the groin area he says, hehe

[L07ShIsl]

Dude, you're epic :)

[Anime4Ev3r]

I'm too fat for doing that. not even kidding

[jmichael1holmes]

@Anime4Ev3r ye"en lien!

[58shadesofgray]

Anyone else having difficulty doing this in skinny jeans?

[Huzzawful]

@58shadesofgray wear a skirt

[mrquizzler]

oh damn ;o

[rekoonsghjkl]

I was told it's better to breathe in through your nose and out your mouth. Of course while singing it should be in through the mouth and out the mouth. During this exercise should I breathe in through my nose or mouth?

[carrotsandnutella]

what if my legs aren't long enough to bring right up to my chest? D:

[hardstylemanga16]

his eyes draw me in =)

[Karousha]

you're awesome!!!!!!

[hattonhall]

You are not "Up YOurself" which makes it a pleasure to learn from you.

Thanks so much Eric ...you not only freed up my voice.........you helped get rid of a lot of my body muscle aches and pains which have been agony of late!

I wish I had met you when I was 17 and not 67!!!!

[syndetic]

Bravo. He's like an Alton Brown in the way he explains things. Very clear and hands-on. He doesn't leave you with more questions, unlike some other online instructors. I feel satisfied with whatever I've learned after watching this guy's videos.

[syairazi]

it works!

[lilgrim131]

I wonder where he learned all this.

[nfarnham2008]

I'm told it is my tonsils or my adinoids causing it, any help? I'm trying to breathe with my nose and keep my tongue down

[JACKjmDAVY]

@nfarnham2008 i noticed this post is a month old ...have u had any luck yet??? :))

[grace777d]

He's a great teacher.

[RyanTheEpic]

This is interesting, I'll be definately be using this exercise.

[zxcadw123]

[trustewiefan87]

HE CUTE

[TheJannabelle]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It's awesome to hear explanations on singing that include the role of anatomy. You're awesome, and clearly a great teacher!

[GhostcatTV]

i wish i could breathe from my groin

[rovingdesertfox]

@GhostcatTV LoL You too can breathe from your groin!

[playboibunny33]

omg thank you sooo much...

[luckyladyalex]

Hi im following your techniques, but im really struggling to breath and sing from the diaghram, how do you get the ongoing harmony in your voice? is it to do with the way your mouth moves when singing?

[sano2000]

[MusicJETT]

[jtalkbizniz]

@EricArceneaux

Should you do this daily?

[neills]

this was just the video i was looking for!

[StoneMTNboy2009]

woah...I got to work on this. For me it was

(Pulls knee up) "This...is wrong." (Pulls knee up higher) "This...sends you to the hospital."

[qwimbleqwee]

Does Aretha Franklin do that?  Ha ha. Just kidding. I really appreciate your vids:)

[TheCinemaReporter]

Yo man you look like Kid Cudi

[LaLaEmitay]

16 people don't like breathing X]

[Josh1j2]

I love how his shirt just magically disappears >_>

[andyyroxx]

@Josh1j2 and consecutively the female viewers' pants magically disappears XD

[muzicalman]

[Hineal92]

thanx ....................

[KatVanity]

I'm in love

[MizSushiKitten]

hhehehehheehe pelvic groin area :).....sorry im really immature

[bubblezen]

Mr. Arceneaux, the insane thing about this exercise is that high notes come out EASY!!! No pushing one´s throat, no crazy effort, nothing! Thanks a lot, I guess...

[soullavee]

Wasap Danzel? loved you in Philadelphia....

[TyroneCarter1love]

thanks so needed this one!

[Rocky46461]

should i only do this 2 times?! someone tell me!

[rekoonsghjkl]

Hi how are you? I was wondering should I take breathes in through my mouth or nose?

[LoneVocalist]

And you're going to feel a stretch....in your pants.

[joelalinsunurin]

I totally agree with you! When you sing you should involve your lower body to make the sound fuller not only sing with your vocal cords.

[NovayaShuyin]

uh yeah, as a guy without much flexibility and large thighs, my knee does not even get near my chest. damn. this is gunna take some practice

[benoz11]

This really helped a lot, I was getting most of my power from head and chest area and it wasn't low enough, focusing on pushing from lower makes it sound a lot better.

[nifrued]

what about singing while dancing is there a technique you can develop that can allow you do that ???

[MissOhBabyxx]

Now ladies... I'm on a horse.

[MikeyJLove4EVER]

@MissOhBabyxx LMAO!!! XD

[AlphaMusicGroup1]

[macporteiro]

Holy sh... 4:14 and 4:36

I could never expect that!!! Amazing. Have you ever listened to a Brazilian singer called Ed Motta? You should... Fantastic mate, congratulations! And thanks for sharing that with all of us.

[jahlil16]

All of ur lessions work 4 me. Ur da truth dude

[emy52315]

this sounds more like exercise but it works

[saxophonesuperpowers]

Not that I'm any sort of amazing singer, but something I find helpful when doing this is something that my band director taught the marching band to do to play with a full sound. When you breathe in like he's telling you to do, place a hand on your lower stomach and say "po" as you breathe in. You should feel a little bit of cool air going down your throat.

[TheBug1961]

so, are you into yoga and meditation and does it help your singing?

[datboy615]

YOU ARE SO SEXY!! LOL, THANX FOR ALL THE VIDEOS!!

[Icue160Music]

Thank you for your time and energy...  Great advice always.

[CristianDeluxe]

please subtitles!!

[radnev007]

can you make a video of making your voice higher because my voice is kind of deep and i want it higher

[devil4etoo]

[cracktober]

I usually don't breathe in with my groin.. I usually exhale.

[OnIxXxInO]

[mEtAlMaNiAc787]

then i also do i-a exerscise,

breathing exercise...

All this every single day for 2 weeks now... but i still cant sing the way that Bryan Adams does :(

[TheSubwaysurfer]

II dont know if people are appreciating the subtle athletic ability you're demonstrating here...you're holding the leg,you're relaxed, and your'e talking casually with veeeeeerrrry little wobbling. Just wondering if you've taken years of yoga, pilates or martial arts?

[christiner0se]

thank you SOOOOO much

[crazyinlove180]

haah way to show off your muscles!!

[latina084life]

sometimes when i sing a high note my voice gets dry and it ends up into a faint whisper. why does that happen? and how can i prevent that?

[mystic4you]

In 3:21 is it okay to bend the leg your standing on?

[famousmermaid]

As long as you stretch your lower half. These are muscles and you need to train them.

[esiah123chelo]

I have taken vocal lessons before and being a vocalist you are right on with eveything you have showed BRAVO to you!!!

[morethanlifetome]

Thank you for you very helpful techniques they are working for me to improve my gifted voice

[kingofspades0k]
