I'm very glad, and thankful, your very kind, and generous maam, thanks for sharing your knowledge in music to us thanks this will help me alo, it's not only suffering or straining my voice but also to others who to sing like their inspiring favorite singers, your very accurate, i think i all of people will be able to watch this vid, would become a great singer.

There is no definite steps in singing lesson aside from some standard in breathing, enunciation/ diction, posture in singing, etc. Vocal exercises and lessons varies per teacher . It is important to consult your vocal techniques coach first. and let them sample your voice through vocalization and find your tonal range so they may classify your voice and find a suitable approach for you. You begin with basic, then go up with belters lesson, and finally star borne lesson and recitals.
abt PROJECTING UR VOICE: I imagine my voice is a 'present' and I'm singing/giving it to a loved one who is standing at the opposite end of the place I'm singing (so my voice shuld be larger depending the size of the place). I used this cuz I used to be too nervous before, now I project my voice to the max all the time.
I suppose this is called "dynamics". This is helpful especially if you are singing in an empty hall so you can estimate how much effort and volume you should make into your. But when singing with a microphone and amplifier. it is important to estimate your voice loudness with respect to the distance of your mouth to the microphone. A collaboration with the audio technician is often helpful for proper mic setting.
Hopefully I'm not spamming, but I'm giving my opinions and my own expiriences, doesn't make me an expert, but just sharring what I know :P
Anyways, I also noticed one of your steps....You say "Don't sway or any unnessasary movements" or something along those lines...But would you mind in a comment explaining why? Because in all honesty for me...It actually helps me, because when music moves my soul and I'm relaxed and singing, I sway...I can't help it, but it helps me. And I'm someone that
I approved all your comments so that other people can give you their best advice. This video is a very basic and is straightforward. The tips given here were among the hundreds of techniques devised to fine tune your voice. This is a vocal techniques also used in speech level kind of singing, but it doesn't applies to all singers. As I have said in the past, techniques varies - it depends on your body framework and singing capacity. Use only those which are applicable.
AVOID UNNECESSARY SWAYING - I think Prof. Jai's point here is not on the singer's but on the audience concern. Too much unnecessary movements annoys the audience and couldn't concentrate on your singing. Remember, singing is not only how you hit the correct notes, but how you connect the audience to effectively tell a story out of your song. Your expression and gestures creates your stage blockings. It is not mentioned in this video, but is very important.
Also "Singing from your gut" does make you louder and cleaer I have noticed..
And yes, Posture is important too...Something I badly need to work on overall...But I know lack of confidence overall can give you bad Posture...When one is sad, discouraged, nervous, etc etc...They tend to hang their head low, etc=Bad Posture (One example anyways) that is me lol...
-I have been doing that and it has helped alot, so breathing indeed is a HUGE part of singing properly and also safely...I'm sure if you breath wrong and strain yourself, you can mess up something, like, vocal chords etc. You must sing carefully and without too much strain, I am learning this. Also I've learned moods, you can even fake one for certain songs...Try to think of something that angers you for the angry songs, etc. Or so I've been told, but I have noticed...It's true. I sing better.
Hi, so far (still watching) from what I've seen of this, this looks like it'd really help me and others to sing better. I have been told I am a good singer, although I sing for Hobbie, not Career. Great pass time and it relaxes me too depending what I sing and my mood etc. But my problem is I sing too quiet, but I am working on that and have indeed gotten better, someone at Karaoke said to "Sing from the Gut" Take in a deep breath first but not to the point it hurts, & let it out slowly in song
You're welcome... Too bad you can't watch some of my other important videos, they were banned/ disabled in your country due to Copyright claims by Sony Music and Universal Music Group.
@mannydeguzmanjartist Thank you so much for your great tips. Is there a way we could access your other important videos like your own website or can you send it to us through email if it's not too much of a hassle?
Go to my YouTube Channel page. The 3 albums you find there represents my website, my modeling/ talents site, and my Multiply account where you can find some photos/ images of my works. Click on the small thumbnails and that would lead you to my sites. Thanks for asking =p
hi po musta po kayo sana your always fine po.im mhel 29 mhilig po akong kumanta tlga ng aral po ako before sa singing for pop but hnd ko na po tinuloy dhil umaalis po ako ngpupunta po ako sa ibng bansa.ang problema ko lng po pg kumakanta po ako parang ngclosed po yong throat ko parang pkiramdam ko po yong naiipit yong throat ko.pnu po ba dapat kng gwin para hnd po mgkagnun na para akong mamanasin po?anu po bng dapat na excercise gawin ko?tnx po and more power po..
I'm sorry, I'm not so familiar with medical therapy, and I can't suggest anything without your medical history at hand, if you had throat problems before. Ano ba ang work mo abroad and how did you used your voice, baka nman naabuso mo ang vocal chords mo. I suggest you to have a throat examination by a doctor, and then if the test results are good, then you can proceed with basic breathing techniques and eventually practice singing again. Just don't overdo, practice gradually.
Basically, the reason why you shouldn't collapse your ribs is to maintain proper breathing and sustain air freely through your diaphragm.
The rib muscles may begin the contraction as you exhale, but the ribs must be kept extended so that there will be something for the diaphragm to pull against. In the control of the outgoing breath from which speech is made, you must not let the rib cage cave in at the same time or you will lose control of the outgoing column of air.
Unfortunately, none... This singing techniques tutorial is part of a Karaoke VCD on Pinoy OPM Karaoke released few years ago. I just ripped this one from the original disc.
Thank you very much for this Lesson po... I've always been wanting to learn how to sing "good", since I was in highschool, I've been asking my mom na gusto ko magvoice lesson, pero since wala budget... ayun, sira ang pangarap... and now, thanks sa internet, and I found your video. You're great... this video is a great help... hmmm added to my dreams, to be one of your students. :)
That's right. "Proper breathing" is one of the most effective technique in achieving good voice, not only in singing but speech as well. It eliminates stammering, and exhaustive singing. Proper breathing makes you relaxed, especially in hitting high and sustaining notes and protects your vocal chords from strains.
Proper breathing greatly helps in attaining "speech level kind of singing". As a former broadcast deejay and newscaster myself, I recommend good breathing practices.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid helps the body in numerous ways. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant required for 300 metabolic functions in the body, which includes tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function and healthy gums. Ascorbic acid is related to carbohydrate metabolism. It also helps to prevent the harmful effects of pollution, to prevent cancer, protects against infection and increases the immunity.
...A healthy and sound body free of illnesses makes a good singer.
OMG, i love Abigail Armstrong, i am her biggest fan, oh and i also like to sing so thanks for posting i might boost my confidence up a bit and make a singing video, thanks again and Abigail rules!
I like Abigail Armstrong's passion in singing. From the very start, I could feel her dedication and I strongly believe someday, given the right opportunity, she'll reach for the stars. I have uploaded this video for her because I want her to improve. Previous comments on her wasn't good, but I think she's better now with her new singing videos.
This video is just a guide, but really the singer's passion paves the way for success. Kudos and thanks for dropping by!
Prof. Jai Sabaz Aracama is a Professor at the University of the Philippines College of Music. She's the vocal trainer for "U.P. Concert Chorus" - Chorale Group. Please see the video info to find the link to her website, or to know her email address.
As I've said previously, vocal techniques depends on the coach/ trainer's preferences and body framework of the singer.
In general, shout-singing is applicable only for rock songs. But for standard belting procedure, the most important thing is how you hit high and sustain notes through proper diaphragmatic and sustained breathing techniques.
...As long as your throat are not stressed or doesn't hurt, the technique you've been taught is fine.
Vocalization is used mainly to identify, maintain or widen your vocal range.... In my opinion, shout - singing is entirely different or not connected with vocalization. Therefore, you can do both at the same session, one at a time.
...I remember my former singer/ model talent when she was younger, she used to do shout singing to add brilliance to her voice. In shouting, you have to learn to inhale properly so your throat will not be pushed or stressed hard, or you'll ruin your voice (harsh).
Yes, you could be - even more than anyone else... Just keep on practicing. Never stop singing and put everything in your heart. Patience paves the way to success, hard work and discipline is the key. Commitment and dedication at your best...
Thanks for favoriting this video. Please remember that breathing techniques vary with culture, singing styles, body framework, etc. Chances are, some singing techniques might be applicable for you, others make youworst. Latest Japanese songs might be in a different category (anime pop, rock, etc.) My advice would be: choose songs that is suitable to your vocal range, and choose the best techniques and approach in singing. This video is a very basic set of techniques and exercises you can try.
Yes she's the Star Struck mentor at GMA 7. Please contact her at the email address provided on the video info, or visit her at the U.P. website on the link provided.

If its a more fast beat song, when do you breath when the words are so close together. I dont know if I'm explaining this situation clear enough, but can you please tell me.
It depends upon the syllables and vowels you are pronouncing. In my opinion, you should not breathe in between words to avoid chopping of some words. Breathe in after you enunciate a word at the end of a particular line. Study the lyrics and look for some points where you are comfortable to breathe in between words when sustained breathing has elapsed. This way, the words will be pronounced clearly while attacking some notes.
It's funny how you can't follow simple singing techniques such as these. The techniques featured here were among the most explained. If you are talking about Disney's "Mulan", it is Classical or Broadway type of music - covered by this lesson. If you are singing metal music and hard rock, then some techniques do not apply. But in general the techniques shown here are universal in singing and speech.
Tell me your difficulties in singing and I'll give my honest advice to the best of my knowledge.
Ok... If you cannot take this seriously, Then what are your preferences in singing? What "Mulan" are you referring to and what types of music do you sing?
These techniques applies to almost types of music, even in speech lesson Some do not apply to metal, bur for pop rock like the type of songs Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne sings, these applies. My former singer/ model sings a lot of Evanescence, Avril, and a lot of Emo Rock, and these were techniques I often gave her in her vocal warm ups.
This is the best, to the point, vocal training I've seen in all the internet. Where can I purchased Jai Sabas-Aracama's complete voice training videos?
I'm sorry but I'm afraid this is the only online training material by Prof. Jai Sabas Aracama produced by Vicor Records. This was a bonus material included in "OPM Pop Songs Videoke CD" released in 2005. I just ripped this video from the compilation of Filipino Music Karaoke and not offered for separate resale. I just uploaded this here under limited use as conforms with "Fair Use"
But you can contact Prof. Jai for tips through the email add or website provided on the video info on the right.
hi im posting a video response to show you how i have improved thanks for making this video ot for me and detcating it to me other wise i wouldnt be where i am today x
jut o let you know i closed the abigalarmstrong channel down so this is my new one x
You don't owe what you become with this video alone. You owe it to your yourself with your dedication and perseverance. You improved because you loved what your doing with all your heart, and this video was just a supplement in your singing. Singing is not an easy thing to do. But with proper attitude, patience and discipline you'll hit it right on track.
Thanks for the follow-up. Yes you improved, and you grew up beautifully!
Prof. Sabas-Aracama is a very encouraging teacher at masaya! Too bad I never had the voice to join the UP Concert Chours when I was at Peyups many, many moons ago! Enjoyed watching this clip, even if I'm no singer. Good tips about breathing and vocalising in general for the amateur!
I don't think this video's still on sale or available online, or in your country. This video clip is included as a brief tutorial supplement for a videoke CD released by VICOR RECORDS, Philippines in 2005. The VCD was entitled "OPM POP HITS VIDEOKE (a collection of Original Pilipino Music Karaoke).

raising the shoulders when breathing in is incorrect... you should also keep your shoulders still not just the ribbs, you are showing a partially incorrect technique.
In deep sustained diaphragmatic breathing, it is sometimes better to raise your shoulder a bit (for a little control, but not overly) than getting stiff and giving stress to your body. Refer to this link... ww w . anxiety-cures.c om/breathing-technique.html
...It is you who can observe proper or the best techniques suitable for you. As with my previous comments, not all singing techniques are beneficial. It depends on body framework and capacity.
The link you refered to is "supposed to be" a relaxation routine, not a breathing technique good for singing...a pretty bad routine, and it's sad even some doctors give this type of advice, because:
It's ok for the shoulders to raise slightly at the very end of a full inhalation, but in this video the students and the coach raise them too hard.. this CONSTRICTS THE INFLOW OF AIR for the lungs whatever "bodyframework" you may have.. as long it's that of a regular human beeing.
Regardless of application, still it is diaphragmatic breathing. The article has scientific basis (doctors still had mentioned raising shoulders a bit). The main goal is to regulate air flow (to be able to hold your breath longer and release at high/ sustained notes.
In some ways, singing is similar to diving.
In my experience as a former broadcaster and voice talent, this has done very little and unnoticed to fail me. I'm surprised at how keen you are in observing those things in details.
To raise shoulders too high is a big NO. But raising a little, I think It's just okay.
I tried relaxed and sustained breathing without my shoulders raising or moving at all, and my small framed body have a hard time taking in enough air unless I raised it a little.
I think it depends upon the body frame. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed.
It depends upon the technique suitable for you, not all techniques work in the same fashion. What might've worked for you might fail me.
she sand the fullmetal alchemist song it was an ending theme to it but anyways.this is awesome,will u add me please mannydeguzmanjartist?or accept my add?i really want to sing well,im 13 and have improved using some tips on the internet and videos,and kept some,and use them,and i have improved in 2 weeks of practicing,my body matured faster,so will u help me learn how to sing?plze,if ANYONE wants to give me tips,my cell is 1 252 241 2331 plze,understand i sound older then 13 i matured faster.
It doesn't matter if you mature faster or not. No age has been set when you can learn singing. Some learned as an early age of 1 (check out "KAITLYN MAHER (4 year old singer) on America's Got Talent". Others as old as 80.
The best way to learn singing is by mastering it by heart. And an effective way to improve your singing is through constant practice and accepting constructive criticism.
Here's what you can do: Upload your performances here at YouTube, and I'll critic or comment on it.
That guy looks so happy when he sustains the note, it made me laugh with him! Such a simple technique as correct posture changes his ability immediately!
As simple as that, but many seems to forget techniques. It's nice to have somebody to remind us all these meaningful techniques to ponder upon whenever possible. Good singing comes from the accumulation of one's learning and it's application to varied levels. Master singing by heart, and not just learning the techniques. These techniques are useless without one's drive or desire to sing. Perfection comes from one's dedication, patience and perseverance.

Finally, someone that knows what they are talking about! This is high quality technique, not the low level speech level singing and expertvillage junk.
...It should be noted that this video nor any other techniques I posted in my channel were not meant to compete nor contradict/ offend any other's techniques and videos. I posted this particular one as a reference and a basic guide for beginners, or those who want to explore more singing techniques other than what they are taught or familiar with.
Singing techniques applies to all, but depends from case to case basis. Some are suited or beneficial for you, others aren't
Totally awesome video! It shows what you have to do, how to do and the most importang - what's wrong and what is good! 5/5stars - simple and effective!
Thanks for all your comments on this video. Sorry if i couldn't reply most of your comments as of this moment, I'm having trouble with my internet connection (probably with my modem).
As I can see, most of your queries regarding this video were technical, and I wouldn't want to reply without doing my research. This requires time online. I would love to do all of you a favor, so my replies are based on studies.
Good technique and good video. You definitely know what you're doing, compared to "expertvillage". I read a booklet yesterday on not letting the chest collapse, but it was a bit vague on how to not let it collapse. Can you please clarify on not keeping your chest collapsed? Thank you.
PS: If you find it easier to explain in tagalog, please feel free to do so. I am very fluent in both.
This is neat. In my marching band, we do the hissing-like exercise... but of course without our hands on our rib-cages. We mark time and stand up straight. It really helps with air control. The longest we normally go to is 32 beats. There's kids that can go farther though. --OH and I know that was kind of unrelated, but I thought it was interesting. I never thought of using it for singing. Haha, what do I know?
She is Right- practice makes all the difference.. and building strength. Yes training is dumb.. i hated it. but after it was done, - I won vocal awards, and did not understand why my old self - was always losing. Even bland - emo -punk country singers - need to support those notes. - and practice expanding thier range. then singing is like making love. or war.. or what you really really like! Better luck next time.
Thanks for the comment... I can see that there's so many point of views regarding singing techniques. I approved both negative and positive comments so as not to be biased and to weigh the opinions. I deleted those which are irrelevant or those hitting below the belt.
...Anybody's free to comment either constructive or negative, just be sure that you're credible enough to justify your claims or opinions so it would not be misleading for beginners as they would be the one to suffer .
thanks, and sorry, that was misleading of me. I won singing contests - not awards. And lost my fear of singing any song.. no matter how high the notes.
You want to be professional? Go ahead, relax and just sing with pleasure. Let's see where you'll end up with. I tell you, in no time at all, you'll end up with damaged vocal chords.
Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires innate talent and a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction.[
These mini tutorials are by-product of years of research and practice, and here you are telling us not to follow vocal techniques? Are you an expert to say this?
Right, singing techniques aren't everything... Passion is more important as in any other career. It boost your self esteem and drives you to do things successfully .
...But provided you know how to sing. Even how gifted you are, without proper voice lesson or techniques, you may end up abusing your voice and might damage your vocal chords in the process. Therefore, you must learn how to control your voice and put it into proper application, that's where singing techniques comes in.
Then show us your professional singing voice. Let us hear if you are competent enough to be another singing diva like Mariah Carey or Celine Dion.
Singing Techniques applies to most professional singers.
Maybe, you can get away with singing techniques if you're just singing in the privacy of your home, or you're not serious enough in singing. But if you are a pro, you must know the different types of voices, how to render your vocal range. Most of this techniques is much like speech lesson.
i think vocal technique is the most important part in singing, doesn't matter if you're an opera singer, a jazz or pop or rock singer. A lot of people get blown away by singers like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion and try to sing like them when they do not realize how many years of vocal training these professional singers have had. Of course, a qualified teacher is the other essential part in order to feed the proper techniques to the student(s).
I agree with your point if view. I am actually a self- student and have been tho some singing lessons. The strongest element to me to contribute to opera singing is actually the singing tecnique. I like the tips you mention here and I agree and use them all. I would like to ask you for your opinion on Alfredo Kraus tecnquine. Have you heard or listened to hi him? His breathing and voice usage was out of this world. Any advice on that? Thanks and keep up the good work.
It's a great video for beginners. I'm looking for tips on how to sing because i play guitar and like to sing along. Does anyone know how smoking cigarettes affects your voice. Can i still learn how to sing like a pro?
In the tissues of the respiratory tract, cigarette smoke provokes effects similar to those of inflammation: redness, swelling, increased mucus production, and thickening of the surface lining or mucosa. Both the smoke particles and the heat of the inhaled fumes appear to damage the mucosa. Singers who smoke have harsh breathy voice and loss of clarity in their upper range. Smoking reduces normal breathing capacity. The decrease in air flow due to bronchial constriction impairs vocal performance.
Thanks for the tip. Im gonna try to not smoke before i sing and reduce smoking all together. I play a lot of beatles and have a hard time hitting some of the high notes. Do you have any suggestions? thnx alot
Failure to hit high notes were caused by several factors. Improper breathing due to nervousness, air blockage to the throat because of improper placement of the teeth and tongue, wrong mouth opening, throaty (or croaky) production of voice.
In singing, it is important first to correct your posture to do good diaphragmatic breathing to sustain air. Then be sure that your tongue do not block the air passage. Your tongue should be at the back of your teeth at most, unless you have to enunciate.
Yes, you can still learn how to sing regardless of your age. Developing your singing voice is just a matter of practice, with the aid of singing techniques that is best suited for you.
Good singing were just a state of the mind - If you are confident and persevere that you can have your good voice by practice and training, you already gained 50% of your ticket to your singing career. 25% falls into your singing technique, 15% to your hearing as your learning instrument, and 10% to discpline
There are singers who drink and smoke. I personally knew a popular vocalist in our country who drinks a lot of hard beverages even in front of her audiences during gigs. Rockers can get away with, there are no standard vocal styles when it comes to Rock Music. Even the harshest voice can be considered nice.
But Ballads, Classical, Mellow Pop and Standard music are different. In general, singers who usually do head tones, those with classified voice as tenor, alto, etc. must not drink or smoke.
She should take real vocal lessons herself with correct internal mouth position, proper "coppertura" exercises, support and breath management, register connections an so on. Too primary.
Your call to study "copertura exercise" (it is spelled as "copertura" and not "coppertura") is too technical to be covered IN this YouTube tutorial.
"Copertura" or THROAT PROTECTION is usually practiced by male singers, and common in most classical tenors.
In this tutorial, Prof. Jai teaches Pop/ Balad music, there's little risk in damaging your vocals. I had a book on enunciation and mouth opening/ tounge placement, this is not covered in this tutorial. "Copertura" is for advanced study.
See the video info: I stated there that this is just a SIMPLE SINGING TECHNIQUES lesson. Don't complicate things, this video is meant only for beginners, not for you if you are in advanced vocal studies.
This video is just a basic technique understandable to all those who never had in their life any formal singing lessons. If you want more elaborate vocal techniques, enroll in voice lesson course.
Yes, correct posture is the key to proper diaprahgmic breathing. Try belting out while you're slouching, I bet you can't sustain notes no matter how hard or deep you breathe...
I clearly hear head voice from both students, actually.. its more like a mix but I definitely hear it. Albeit its not full head voice but its definitely there.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is one of the most highly publicized yet least understood of all vitamins. It has no physiological significance, but is the commonly used term synonymous to strong body resistance. What Prof. Aracama was saying is that you should take balanced diet and exercise to stay strong and fit to sing. We get vitamins from foods, Beverages, Our bodies - vitamin K comes from bacteria in our intestines and vitamin D is produced with the help of ultraviolet radiation on the skin.
wtf? she doesn't know, what she's doing. Just some diaphragm, do this, open mouth .. I'm sorry, but there's a lot of black area and unknowing stuff in that video, what's really happening, when we're singing ! Some things are right, but what's happening in 5.25 with girl? Teacher didn't know. But the problem was in support, why teacher didn't say that? She just smile and okey, let's take that again.
So, please, if you want some truth, then Cathrine Sadolin's Complete Vocal Technique is the KEY!
This video was a professional video course on sale for several years. The persons involved here are discovering newer techniques, even traveling abroad to learn the best ones. The instructor featured here is a respected Music Instructor from the University of the Philippines, she definitely knew what she's saying. Many who bought the instructional CD already benefits from this video. If you're trying to promote a video, just post it here as a video response and not negate this video
nice

There is no definite steps in singing lesson aside from some standard in breathing, enunciation/ diction, posture in singing, etc. Vocal exercises and lessons varies per teacher . It is important to consult your vocal techniques coach first. and let them sample your voice through vocalization and find your tonal range so they may classify your voice and find a suitable approach for you. You begin with basic, then go up with belters lesson, and finally star borne lesson and recitals.

abt PROJECTING UR VOICE: I imagine my voice is a 'present' and I'm singing/giving it to a loved one who is standing at the opposite end of the place I'm singing (so my voice shuld be larger depending the size of the place). I used this cuz I used to be too nervous before, now I project my voice to the max all the time.

Anyways, I also noticed one of your steps....You say "Don't sway or any unnessasary movements" or something along those lines...But would you mind in a comment explaining why? Because in all honesty for me...It actually helps me, because when music moves my soul and I'm relaxed and singing, I sway...I can't help it, but it helps me. And I'm someone that

I approved all your comments so that other people can give you their best advice. This video is a very basic and is straightforward. The tips given here were among the hundreds of techniques devised to fine tune your voice. This is a vocal techniques also used in speech level kind of singing, but it doesn't applies to all singers. As I have said in the past, techniques varies - it depends on your body framework and singing capacity. Use only those which are applicable.
mannydeguzmanjartist 1 year ago
AVOID UNNECESSARY SWAYING - I think Prof. Jai's point here is not on the singer's but on the audience concern. Too much unnecessary movements annoys the audience and couldn't concentrate on your singing. Remember, singing is not only how you hit the correct notes, but how you connect the audience to effectively tell a story out of your song. Your expression and gestures creates your stage blockings. It is not mentioned in this video, but is very important.

Also "Singing from your gut" does make you louder and cleaer I have noticed..
And yes, Posture is important too...Something I badly need to work on overall...But I know lack of confidence overall can give you bad Posture...When one is sad, discouraged, nervous, etc etc...They tend to hang their head low, etc=Bad Posture (One example anyways) that is me lol...

-I have been doing that and it has helped alot, so breathing indeed is a HUGE part of singing properly and also safely...I'm sure if you breath wrong and strain yourself, you can mess up something, like, vocal chords etc. You must sing carefully and without too much strain, I am learning this. Also I've learned moods, you can even fake one for certain songs...Try to think of something that angers you for the angry songs, etc. Or so I've been told, but I have noticed...It's true. I sing better.
EnigmaticSilhouette 1 year ago
Hi, so far (still watching) from what I've seen of this, this looks like it'd really help me and others to sing better. I have been told I am a good singer, although I sing for Hobbie, not Career. Great pass time and it relaxes me too depending what I sing and my mood etc. But my problem is I sing too quiet, but I am working on that and have indeed gotten better, someone at Karaoke said to "Sing from the Gut" Take in a deep breath first but not to the point it hurts, & let it out slowly in song

I'm sorry, I'm not so familiar with medical therapy, and I can't suggest anything without your medical history at hand, if you had throat problems before. Ano ba ang work mo abroad and how did you used your voice, baka nman naabuso mo ang vocal chords mo. I suggest you to have a throat examination by a doctor, and then if the test results are good, then you can proceed with basic breathing techniques and eventually practice singing again. Just don't overdo, practice gradually.

at dpat bah talagang hindi mgcollapse ang ribs?
thanks po
kagwangers 1 year ago
@kagwangers
Basically, the reason why you shouldn't collapse your ribs is to maintain proper breathing and sustain air freely through your diaphragm.
The rib muscles may begin the contraction as you exhale, but the ribs must be kept extended so that there will be something for the diaphragm to pull against. In the control of the outgoing breath from which speech is made, you must not let the rib cage cave in at the same time or you will lose control of the outgoing column of air.

@bella2theend
That's right. "Proper breathing" is one of the most effective technique in achieving good voice, not only in singing but speech as well. It eliminates stammering, and exhaustive singing. Proper breathing makes you relaxed, especially in hitting high and sustaining notes and protects your vocal chords from strains.
Proper breathing greatly helps in attaining "speech level kind of singing". As a former broadcast deejay and newscaster myself, I recommend good breathing practices.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid helps the body in numerous ways. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant required for 300 metabolic functions in the body, which includes tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function and healthy gums. Ascorbic acid is related to carbohydrate metabolism. It also helps to prevent the harmful effects of pollution, to prevent cancer, protects against infection and increases the immunity.

hi, i used to do vocalization, but my coach trained me to shout the word LOVE,, for us to develop chest tone..
jabz2428 2 years ago
As I've said previously, vocal techniques depends on the coach/ trainer's preferences and body framework of the singer.
In general, shout-singing is applicable only for rock songs. But for standard belting procedure, the most important thing is how you hit high and sustain notes through proper diaphragmatic and sustained breathing techniques.
...As long as your throat are not stressed or doesn't hurt, the technique you've been taught is fine.
mannydeguzmanjartist 2 years ago
Vocalization is used mainly to identify, maintain or widen your vocal range.... In my opinion, shout - singing is entirely different or not connected with vocalization. Therefore, you can do both at the same session, one at a time.
...I remember my former singer/ model talent when she was younger, she used to do shout singing to add brilliance to her voice. In shouting, you have to learn to inhale properly so your throat will not be pushed or stressed hard, or you'll ruin your voice (harsh).

Please remember that breathing techniques vary with culture, singing styles, body framework, etc. Chances are, some singing techniques might be applicable for you, others make youworst. Latest Japanese songs might be in a different category (anime pop, rock, etc.) My advice would be: choose songs that is suitable to your vocal range, and choose the best techniques and approach in singing.

If its a more fast beat song, when do you breath when the words are so close together. I dont know if I'm explaining this situation clear enough, but can you please tell me.
dullasgomez 2 years ago
It depends upon the syllables and vowels you are pronouncing. In my opinion, you should not breathe in between words to avoid chopping of some words. Breathe in after you enunciate a word at the end of a particular line. Study the lyrics and look for some points where you are comfortable to breathe in between words when sustained breathing has elapsed. This way, the words will be pronounced clearly while attacking some notes.

521182 2 years ago
It's funny how you can't follow simple singing techniques such as these. The techniques featured here were among the most explained. If you are talking about Disney's "Mulan", it is Classical or Broadway type of music - covered by this lesson. If you are singing metal music and hard rock, then some techniques do not apply. But in general the techniques shown here are universal in singing and speech.
Tell me your difficulties in singing and I'll give my honest advice to the best of my knowledge.
mannydeguzmanjartist 2 years ago
I never said I couldn't follow them. I said I couldn't take it seriously....
521182 2 years ago
Ok... If you cannot take this seriously, Then what are your preferences in singing? What "Mulan" are you referring to and what types of music do you sing?
These techniques applies to almost types of music, even in speech lesson Some do not apply to metal, bur for pop rock like the type of songs Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne sings, these applies. My former singer/ model sings a lot of Evanescence, Avril, and a lot of Emo Rock, and these were techniques I often gave her in her vocal warm ups.

raising the shoulders when breathing in is incorrect... you should also keep your shoulders still not just the ribbs, you are showing a partially incorrect technique.
realdza 2 years ago
In deep sustained diaphragmatic breathing, it is sometimes better to raise your shoulder a bit (for a little control, but not overly) than getting stiff and giving stress to your body. Refer to this link... ww w . anxiety-cures.c om/breathing-technique.html
...It is you who can observe proper or the best techniques suitable for you. As with my previous comments, not all singing techniques are beneficial. It depends on body framework and capacity.
MANNY DE GUZMAN, JR.
SoundMagik Home Studio
mannydeguzmanjartist 2 years ago
The link you refered to is "supposed to be" a relaxation routine, not a breathing technique good for singing...a pretty bad routine, and it's sad even some doctors give this type of advice, because:
It's ok for the shoulders to raise slightly at the very end of a full inhalation, but in this video the students and the coach raise them too hard.. this CONSTRICTS THE INFLOW OF AIR for the lungs whatever "bodyframework" you may have.. as long it's that of a regular human beeing.
realdza 2 years ago
Regardless of application, still it is diaphragmatic breathing. The article has scientific basis (doctors still had mentioned raising shoulders a bit). The main goal is to regulate air flow (to be able to hold your breath longer and release at high/ sustained notes.
In some ways, singing is similar to diving.
In my experience as a former broadcaster and voice talent, this has done very little and unnoticed to fail me. I'm surprised at how keen you are in observing those things in details.
mannydeguzmanjartist 2 years ago
hey, most voal coaches will point that to you.. DON'T raise shoulders while you're breathing, it's that simple :)
do some searching on that and you will understand.. I'm not interested in your background while you are teaching sloppy breathing technique
realdza 2 years ago
To raise shoulders too high is a big NO. But raising a little, I think It's just okay.
I tried relaxed and sustained breathing without my shoulders raising or moving at all, and my small framed body have a hard time taking in enough air unless I raised it a little.
I think it depends upon the body frame. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed.
It depends upon the technique suitable for you, not all techniques work in the same fashion. What might've worked for you might fail me.

It doesn't matter if you mature faster or not. No age has been set when you can learn singing. Some learned as an early age of 1 (check out "KAITLYN MAHER (4 year old singer) on America's Got Talent". Others as old as 80.
The best way to learn singing is by mastering it by heart. And an effective way to improve your singing is through constant practice and accepting constructive criticism.
Here's what you can do: Upload your performances here at YouTube, and I'll critic or comment on it.

As simple as that, but many seems to forget techniques. It's nice to have somebody to remind us all these meaningful techniques to ponder upon whenever possible. Good singing comes from the accumulation of one's learning and it's application to varied levels. Master singing by heart, and not just learning the techniques. These techniques are useless without one's drive or desire to sing. Perfection comes from one's dedication, patience and perseverance.

This is neat. In my marching band, we do the hissing-like exercise... but of course without our hands on our rib-cages. We mark time and stand up straight. It really helps with air control. The longest we normally go to is 32 beats. There's kids that can go farther though. --OH and I know that was kind of unrelated, but I thought it was interesting. I never thought of using it for singing. Haha, what do I know?

You want to be professional? Go ahead, relax and just sing with pleasure. Let's see where you'll end up with. I tell you, in no time at all, you'll end up with damaged vocal chords.

Right, singing techniques aren't everything... Passion is more important as in any other career. It boost your self esteem and drives you to do things successfully .
...But provided you know how to sing. Even how gifted you are, without proper voice lesson or techniques, you may end up abusing your voice and might damage your vocal chords in the process. Therefore, you must learn how to control your voice and put it into proper application, that's where singing techniques comes in.

Maybe, you can get away with singing techniques if you're just singing in the privacy of your home, or you're not serious enough in singing. But if you are a pro, you must know the different types of voices, how to render your vocal range. Most of this techniques is much like speech lesson.

i think vocal technique is the most important part in singing, doesn't matter if you're an opera singer, a jazz or pop or rock singer. A lot of people get blown away by singers like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion and try to sing like them when they do not realize how many years of vocal training these professional singers have had. Of course, a qualified teacher is the other essential part in order to feed the proper techniques to the student(s).

I agree with your point if view. I am actually a self- student and have been tho some singing lessons. The strongest element to me to contribute to opera singing is actually the singing tecnique. I like the tips you mention here and I agree and use them all. I would like to ask you for your opinion on Alfredo Kraus tecnquine. Have you heard or listened to hi him? His breathing and voice usage was out of this world. Any advice on that? Thanks and keep up the good work.

It's a great video for beginners. I'm looking for tips on how to sing because i play guitar and like to sing along. Does anyone know how smoking cigarettes affects your voice. Can i still learn how to sing like a pro?

In the tissues of the respiratory tract, cigarette smoke provokes effects similar to those of inflammation: redness, swelling, increased mucus production, and thickening of the surface lining or mucosa. Both the smoke particles and the heat of the inhaled fumes appear to damage the mucosa. Singers who smoke have harsh breathy voice and loss of clarity in their upper range. Smoking reduces normal breathing capacity. The decrease in air flow due to bronchial constriction impairs vocal performance.

Thanks for the tip. Im gonna try to not smoke before i sing and reduce smoking all together. I play a lot of beatles and have a hard time hitting some of the high notes. Do you have any suggestions? thnx alot
marekgola 3 years ago
Failure to hit high notes were caused by several factors. Improper breathing due to nervousness, air blockage to the throat because of improper placement of the teeth and tongue, wrong mouth opening, throaty (or croaky) production of voice.
In singing, it is important first to correct your posture to do good diaphragmatic breathing to sustain air. Then be sure that your tongue do not block the air passage. Your tongue should be at the back of your teeth at most, unless you have to enunciate.

Yes, you can still learn how to sing regardless of your age. Developing your singing voice is just a matter of practice, with the aid of singing techniques that is best suited for you.
Good singing were just a state of the mind - If you are confident and persevere that you can have your good voice by practice and training, you already gained 50% of your ticket to your singing career. 25% falls into your singing technique, 15% to your hearing as your learning instrument, and 10% to discpline

Pink smokes. Shes A good singer but im not saying that you'll get as good as pink,But its best to find A VOCAL teacher.

There are singers who drink and smoke. I personally knew a popular vocalist in our country who drinks a lot of hard beverages even in front of her audiences during gigs. Rockers can get away with, there are no standard vocal styles when it comes to Rock Music. Even the harshest voice can be considered nice.
But Ballads, Classical, Mellow Pop and Standard music are different. In general, singers who usually do head tones, those with classified voice as tenor, alto, etc. must not drink or smoke.

She should take real vocal lessons herself with correct internal mouth position, proper "coppertura" exercises, support and breath management, register connections an so on. Too primary.

Your call to study "copertura exercise" (it is spelled as "copertura" and not "coppertura") is too technical to be covered IN this YouTube tutorial.
"Copertura" or THROAT PROTECTION is usually practiced by male singers, and common in most classical tenors.
In this tutorial, Prof. Jai teaches Pop/ Balad music, there's little risk in damaging your vocals. I had a book on enunciation and mouth opening/ tounge placement, this is not covered in this tutorial. "Copertura" is for advanced study.

See the video info: I stated there that this is just a SIMPLE SINGING TECHNIQUES lesson. Don't complicate things, this video is meant only for beginners, not for you if you are in advanced vocal studies.
This video is just a basic technique understandable to all those who never had in their life any formal singing lessons. If you want more elaborate vocal techniques, enroll in voice lesson course.

After she corrected both their postures, the sound they produced was a lot better :)

Yes, correct posture is the key to proper diaprahgmic breathing. Try belting out while you're slouching, I bet you can't sustain notes no matter how hard or deep you breathe...

'Belting' is a bad idea at the best of times. It gives no understanding of connectedness between the voices. I therefore don't belt!
flaze3 3 years ago
Actually, it does. Belting can be done in head voice or chest voice.
aboxguitar 3 years ago
Yeah, if you like chest voice scream-singing this is great. Not for classical singers.

I clearly hear head voice from both students, actually.. its more like a mix but I definitely hear it. Albeit its not full head voice but its definitely there.

those vitamin c realy work??
i wonder?
yanira13 3 years ago
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is one of the most highly publicized yet least understood of all vitamins. It has no physiological significance, but is the commonly used term synonymous to strong body resistance. What Prof. Aracama was saying is that you should take balanced diet and exercise to stay strong and fit to sing. We get vitamins from foods, Beverages, Our bodies - vitamin K comes from bacteria in our intestines and vitamin D is produced with the help of ultraviolet radiation on the skin.

wtf? she doesn't know, what she's doing. Just some diaphragm, do this, open mouth .. I'm sorry, but there's a lot of black area and unknowing stuff in that video, what's really happening, when we're singing ! Some things are right, but what's happening in 5.25 with girl? Teacher didn't know. But the problem was in support, why teacher didn't say that? She just smile and okey, let's take that again.
So, please, if you want some truth, then Cathrine Sadolin's Complete Vocal Technique is the KEY!
