  • You did a great job!

    Most people tell you to breath with your diaphragm, but they don't explain whats really happening to the rest of your body

    Thank you for that!

  • Every note is THROAT resonance! There is no forward placement, no legato, it's awful! How can these people teach anything! They haven't the slightest idea of vocal technique! The breathing instruction is a lot of nonsense! There is no mention of raising the rib cage, particularly, the lower back ribs that controls the opening of the throat! The breath is suspended by the lifting of the lowest back ribs! If that is not done, the throat will control the breath! The breath must be balanced. Pt.1

  • @DivaNWildChild And please, maturity has nothing to do with this. She has a camel-toe. I just pointed it out. That doesn't make me immature, but instead, very observant. Think of it what you will, but the truth hasn't changed. You cannot deny that I'm right on this assertion.

  • @DivaNWildChild I have much more beyond your wildest dreams. I am a great philosopher of the century, soon to write a book that will captivate the minds of man and bring the race ever-closer to divine ascendancy. In addition, I'm an avid reader, a great artist, a musician, a poet, a spiritual teacher, and a counselor. I'm sure there are other things, but you get the point. If I had to recommend something, it would be a dictionary. Secondly, I would recommend not using all caps, it is annoying

  • @DivaNWildChild By the way, doesn't change the fact that its true.

  • @DivaNWildChild You're a fool. Doubting before you know anything about me. Making judgments on no information. I won't even humor you.

  • @sacdesi GET A LIFE AND LEAVE HER ALONE GOSH DO KNOW WHAT BULLY IS WELL IF YOU DONT ITS SOMEONE LIKE YOU PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN AGE SO PROBABLY MY LIL BROTHER GOSH SHE COULD HAVE DONE SUICIDE CAUSE OF STUPID PEOPLE LIKE YOU IM SMALL BUT I KNOW WHERE I STAND YOU SHOULD TOO....and miss you really helped me now ima better singer and i think you did great...

  • Sorry, but the abdominal muscles do not "move up and down." If you are going to present yourself as a teacher of voice or some sort of expert, you should use correct terms.

  • not bas

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!! saw it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
