- Today, we are going to continue learning how to sing high without strain. This is part two of our three part series. So quick recap. In the first video we talked about how important it was to just sort of get ready for high notes. Learning how to aim the air. We aim the air which reduces the amount of influence from the tongue the jaw and the back of the throat. Because those are really the ones that interfere and can really pinch off that sound making it really hard to get to even have access to those that upper range. So today we're going to get a little bit more playful. We're going to change attitude a little bit towards singing high notes into something that's a little bit more playful something that's a little bit more speech like and this is gonna give you that nice accessible high note sound that is confident effortless and open. OK so if you like today's video please be sure to give it a thumbs up or click that Subscribe button below. I'd love to see you here more often. OK so we're gonna have to have two it stays all about experimentation and it's all about play the attitude of the way that we even approach higher notes needs to have that release element to it meaning we're just going to let fly we're just going to let it go the higher section of The Voice is the release of the entire mechanism and if you think of it like that it's kind of like a kite. It's like the kite flying in the wind whereas the chest voice can feel like the hands holding the kite down. So there's an element of letting go that's really active in the ability to sing really high and to do it consistently and awesomely so attitude plays a really big role in that being able to release a sound in a playful way without being too attached or too critical of the sound quality. Now as we release the air now that we have an understanding of how to aim the air we're going to release it fully meaning we're not going to judge its quality. We're just going to let the air ride or sorry Let the vibration ride the air almost like a surfer would ride a wave. OK so we're just gonna get right into this. Can you go ahead and go for big yawn, but feel and almost don't like quality open up at the top top of the nose where the nose meets the throat called the knee so pharynx good. No. Notice how the lifts go long and everything goes long. This is really where we're going to target our airflow today. We want that all that way we don't scrunch here we don't go wide. Here we go why he'd. That really allows that legs to start raising and shrillness or sneaks into the sound. So we want to keep it nice and long. Feeling the ease of it a little bit of a dome in the back. So here's our sound. We can say the word you like you like I'm talking to you. So are y consonant is what's called a lengthened consonant. And we're going to leverage that length and consonant to help pull some vibrations and over. Now this is this is for all of us who still might have intensity yo yo yo. Right. Can you hear that throat getting involved the job getting involved. We want to go to you here. So watch my town. You do. You do. It's going to help spot by lifting lifting up limiting the access that we have to the mouth and really encouraging those vibrations to go up into the nose. And then it drops in including a little bit more of that mouth. So watch again yes right up under the nose and then comes down to the goal introducing the mouth and it starts working as a whole sound system at that point. Now that's just the mechanics behind it. What we're ready to play now. So we're gonna say yes right. OK. So tilt the head down just a little bit. Yawn and say you on a side good. Experiment wherever you'd like. Now I'm gonna take it up from there. But if it's too high I want you just to play with an area of your voice that feels new to you. Yeah. You feel for that doll. We're good. We're not moving. We're not moving at all we're just releasing that air.
I just “BOO”’d so high that the cat just jumped off the couch and ran out of the room. 😂
😂🤣
All our yoos drove my daughter away
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Pope Kitty 😂
This is how we cry as South Africans, especially if someone has passed , now imagine me singing like that and the neighbors come rushing to my house expecting the worst and I'm like "ohh no..I was just practicing my higher note" 😊
My neighbor already thinks I'm crazy. He will have no doubt if he hears me practicing this😂👍
hahaha same with me here 😀
I am crazy so it makes no difference.
Crazy is subjective lol
the way he'll have no doubts 😂😂😂
Love you too Madeleine! I'm going to keep trying.
Starting with the yawn at 2:43
Singing "you", up into the nose, down to the mouth 3:59
Using a stop consonant "boo" 6:58
Short, short, exhale make long 8:48
As a practicing lead/solo singer, I find this training to be a very consistent, consolidated, focused concentration on the vocal aspect and attitude - very clearly and confidently explained, and emphasized!
"try to yawn"
Me: starts yawning forreal
I yawned just reading this lol
Diana Stocker LOLLL same
I yawned too
Omg! I just yawned as I read this comment
It's actually a trick to induce a real yawn👍
This has really helped me with sia's chandelier, I was finding it hard but applying this has changed the sound completely 🤯❤

My boyfriend thought there was a nightingale in our bedroom 😅 I really love high notes because I can reach them so easily, but doing it the right way makes me feel very safe, wanting to play, and I enjoy them even more! You’re such a good teacher and singer! 💗🎶🦋 Thank you! 🥰
Thank you 😊. You are beautiful as usual. I have improved a lot , and enjoy a lot more the path since I have followed you.
Thank you. These principles will help musicians who play wind instruments.
I am following with great interest these 3 tutorials and I really appreciate your hints about relaxation and spontaneity of the instrument. Thanks a million.
Thank goodness!!! Part 2!!!!😄😄😄😄😄
You are incredibly awesome and adorable! Thanks for this! Keep them coming please . I haven't found a tutor who teaches the significance and importance of these vocal excercises and I am finally understanding all of it, thanks to you!

Great!
Oh I love this! Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m always really confused when it comes to what is which register. This is head voice, yes? I have the most strain when I’m in the higher portion of my chest voice. Thanks for the tips!
Same problem here. My chest voice craps out on me way lower than (I feel) it should. Would love some direction with that register specifically.
Good teacher
Thank you for another awesome lesson. :)
Good job
I love your videos. I always learn something new.
Peace and Good Health to You and Yours...

Your awesome
it's very useful.. thx
Thank you so much for the tips!!! So helpful :)

Is the air being inhaled goes to tummy or chest to stock when hitting high notes. Which is better place to stock the air?
I haven't watched the full video yet, but I have a question.. I can sing really high, really low, and middle.. do you a have video recommendation on how to connect them all better/more consistently ?
I think that there are certain keys that are more difficult for me to connect the high notes/ low notes/ stability.. idk much about professional singing or music theory, but that's what it feels like when I sing sometimes.
Hello there, I like very much the instrumental music at the beginning of this video. Is it available as a whole song? If so, what is the name of the song, and where can I get a copy? Great video - I’m working on singing high notes without strain with my teacher right now. I’m practicing the exercises and they’re helping me. Thanks, Daniel M.
Is sighing and yawning the same? Or is one more preferable than the other when aiming the air???
Hello love ur vids there so helpful BTW I am a singer and I get a staraned voice when I try to sing high love u and ur vids also u have an amazing voice
More videos! :) Love these
First comment! Cannot wait to watch this!
This is amazing, I love it! if you slowly raise your head while going bao-bao-bao-bao, then you can strengthen it when your head is up. Sometimes the sound is exactly in the middle of my vocal bridge, and barely anything comes out, so it's a perfect exercise to strengthen it. Also my voice sounds so much better after making these loud sounds~
Your make up is amazing. Can you teach me how to do my make up like you as well as sing better? 😄
I’m still straining and this have lots of tension doing this 😂😂😭😭😭 I’m just lost😂
I have listened to part 1 & 2. It is so good. I can’t find part 3. Where can I find it ?
It's out now
Teacher thank you so very much... I've tried my best to do the exercises you assign, but I don't what happens most of the time I do a headvoice exercise or try to follow you on warm-up piano scale my voice gets hoarse... is that normal? Do you think that might be cause I just started with these exercises?
Are the "bews" using falsetto? I couldn't tell. Or should I be doing them at the top of my non-falsetto range?
Thank u so much..!!
Did you move out of Florida? You should do a video on that. It would be interesting. Plus, it will get a lot of views.
I still screech on the high notes. Being a 2nd alto. I’d like to hit the c above middle c but can’t get there cleanly. Any other tips? Thanks
If anyone else is in the house they would hear the weird noises and be like, oh she’s just making another singing video
Can you give tips, if my voice is Normally sound like A kid, litle girl and im pretty okey in high notes but how Can I make my low notes be more adult
Happy Easter
Why does my voice start to distort around Eb5? I'm basically a baritone trying to connect D5 through G5 but there's a break.
I don't struggle with strain, but I don't know how to explain it to someone. (Because I know how to explain it this way if it is the same thing) Could it be similar (if not the same as) to tension?
tension is a cause of strain
Hahaha my dog is looking at me right now 🤣
Wonderful ... my neighbours must love (not) my high notes now
my neighour probably thinks I am auditioning to be an alarm
5:03
3:33 7:05
Mam I can go g#5 or A5 with this I can't make loud right now because my siblings are shouting at me😅but I want go more high can we go with this exercise?
I always had strain since I was in choir in all through high school and now my program and I never had noticed anything like tension at all in any kind of way that I never learned how to handle it but someone in my program had told me that whenever I always try and try to go up high in my head voice I tend to think that I could hit the higher notes but I then my throats keeps hurting when I do that what are some ways of advice would you give me
OMG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? Did anybody else's cat come to check on them?
Why does my voice break every time I do any of these exercises no matter what pitch I try? My voice doesn't usually break...?
please post your usher climax challenge
I'm Diancyl Macasling from Philippines. I really love to sing but I don't know how to get the high note. I don't know how to open my vocal throat and I don't know how to use my diaphragm while singing.. Please help me🙏
❤❤❤
Can you do a tutorial on how to sing words with the letters I, O or U? It's hard to keep the sound of these in the mask. :)
🎼🎶Practicing in my car parked outside a store, BOO, BOO, BOO... and waving my arms ...
Uh oh
looks like someone called the cops...🚔
Whenever I sing higher notes I have to clear my throat after and I don’t know why but it sounds blocked :/
Same here 😩
Same
