Very kind of you Dr. Godsey

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano You're welcome, Claire. I will contact the A&R talent scout and see what she says. You are overdue for this break and opportunity. ☺Thanks.

I'd say it's normal! Just old habits and old muscle-coordination returning - over time you will find that it becomes more of a habit to coordinate the way you do in the crackles.

yes, sorry about that! hoping you can read the captions - I'm not sure what happened but there was a technical glitch with this one.

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano I tried with a pillow, the first method. I felt Something in the back.

It's partially for tone, yes - but mostly it's to make sure you are using your breath to support the sound instead of creating bad/tiring/harmful tension in your throat, jaw, or tongue.

This is something I'm still trying to figure out how to explain - it's my way of trying to say you don't want to slam your vocal cords together which sometimes feels like we press down on the larynx with the tongue or otherwise. So somehow picturing that it comes from the flow of the air under and through the cords often helps a gentle closure.

I would say this is sort of individual to each person - and very connected to what technique you are studying. There are many schools of thought on breath support. If you feel that your neck and shoulders are too involved when you breath into your ribs first, experiment with what it feels like to instead breathe low and work your way up. You could also try breathing into your low back - or the space between the low ribs and the hip bones!

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano Thank you. I will try.

Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras y por mirar el vídeo. Cuando digo esternón, me refiero a que encuentres el hueso que hay en tu pecho entre la caja torácica y los pectorales. En la base de ese hueso, justo debajo, encontrarás actividad cuando te ríes o respiras, lo que te muestra el movimiento del diafragma.

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano 👏👏 gracias sigo entrenando...le cuento que canto música popular...pero me encanta la música clásica...por ej. Alfredo kraus 👌 saludos genia!

@@gabrielsejas7593 ¡Fantástico! ¡Estas técnicas a menudo se pueden aplicar a muchos géneros musicales!

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano ❤️

¡Sí, se puede! Con este ejercicio estás entrenando tus músculos para mantener estable la laringe mientras realizas el descanso.

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano ❤️

Of course! These are Vergali resistance bands/Booty bands and I am using the light resistance one in this video. I bought them via Amazon but they have their own store/website.

I'm so glad, thanks Emily!

Thanks very much!

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano Absolutely!

so glad it was helpful!

As often as you like/find helpful in your practice! Breathing is always about balance in 360 degrees, but many of us skip the back - so if that's an area you need to explore more, this exercise is a great help any time.

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano very helpful, thanks a lot!

I don't think you're alone there! lol

Gracias, Gabriel! Sí, está bien! Pero, podrías experimentar con diferentes tipos de respiración a través de la boca - solo para ver cómo cambia el color de tu voz/dinámica. Solamente si quieres! Lo que es el mas importante es de respirar sin abrir demasiado las cuerdas vocales ni bajar la laringe. :)

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano hola desde ya muchísimas gracias usted es una genia 👌 Y como puedo lograr eso de respirar sin abrir las cuerdas vocales y no bajar la laringe? Es que me enseñaron antes de cantar cuando respiro levantar mí Belo paladar Y automáticamente baja mí laringe Cómo puedo hacer??? Me puede ayudar 🙏

Glad it's helpful!

So glad it's helpful

Great question - I would say, try a slow transition. Sing with your ear plugs and focus on the sensations. What is your support doing (check in with your ribs, the base of your sternum, your back, your collarbones, and even your low belly below your waistline/belt), then sing the same phrase with one ear plug and see if you can keep the *sensations* the same - try not to listen to your voice, listen to your body. As that starts to become more reliable, take the other earplug away and try cupping your hands in front of your ears and keep focusing on sensation over sound. Let me know!

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano Thank you Claire. I am practicing again after a long illness and hoping to sing/record ''si puo' so I need the high A flat. Wish me luck! All the best. M.

@@MoodooVanSpoon you've got this! take it slow and steady to take care of your voice and you <3

So glad it's helpful! It can be so hard to find this part of our support!

I think she said the high tongue position is bad, like a kink in the hose.

Thanks so much!

That's great Sophie!! Let me know how it goes and how the warm up helps!

Muchas gracias de Baltimore!

I'm glad it's useful!

Is it possible? Yes, but I would say incredibly unlikely *especially* if you are balancing it with back breathing and side rib expansion. The tricky thing about breath is we often get tunnel vision and focus on only one side of our 360 core/breath support capabilities.

@@ClaireGallowaySoprano can you dive more into what you’re saying? are you speaking about the inhalation part when it comes to the 360 breathing? and focusing on keeping everything you expanded, while inhaling, expanded upon exhaling?

Yes, all of the above. While focusing on this "lean" or "appoggio" you also need to think about keeping your lower back long so there is balance to the sound (and to your posture)@@timothydeffebaugh

So glad it was timely - and hope it's helpful!! Sending love from up at Bardland <3

Thank you!

Thanks so much - glad it was helpful!
