Dave Brooks - Lesson 2 - Larynx Position

[trudbol]

All you're doing to keep your larynx low in this demonstration is push with your tongue, which is very detrimental to your sound: it creates tension in your throat, it makes you sound muffled and you lose high and low range very rapidly because of the fatigue.

You can't seriously teach people to keep the larynx like this, all you're doing is pushing people in a direction that is very detrimental to their singing. Low larynx is just a symptom, not something you should force like this.

How am I supposed to stop the larynx from moving?

[Theotinyau]

my experience is that IF you keep your larynx neutral by employing hoody sound. All I have is strained larynx both above and below the adam's apple. The superior and inferior group of muscles antagonizes against each other.

YAY Dave Brooks!! :)



[blackberry815]

Should the larynx be low or neutral?

[DazedNConfusedXD]

@blackberry815 neutral because you can go low and high easier.

But as you sing, how do you get a different tone than the smokey the bear tone, while keeping a low larynx?

[rovingdesertfox]

@dooger94 don't worry about a different tone, just keep the larynx down or you have no future in singing.

Wrap the jaw down and back to help keep it low. Believe me, it took me many wasted years to learn this valuable lesson.
