Most practicing singers are so focused on getting better or accomplishing certain goals that they unknowingly form bad habits that work against them in big ways.
There's no way to know how these habits are affecting you unless you know what they are because they seem so incredibly natural and almost "given" as a vocalist.
But they are NOT natural or "given" for victorious, professional and good vocalists. Let me share with you the 5 most common voice killers and how to identify them in your own life. Then, I'll help you turn your habits into healthy ones!
Was this the warmup video you mentioned? th-cam.com/video/7qtKF0lLsiU/w-d-xo.html
Yes!!
1. Breath control / balance air
- know how to sing anywhere in your range in various ways
2. Not the right vocal rest / overuse
- listen to body
3. Note reaching
- raven beak & connect tone
4. Warm up better
- listen to your voice as you warm up. Coax it.
5. healthy lifestyle
- what's good for the body and mind is good the voice

Thank you
Probably the biggest thing negatively impacting my voice: not getting enough sleep!
me too
Me three 🙄
Make that four.
Me five
Insomniacs who want to sing unite! Watching this as I've been awake for 40 hours straight 😂
Chris Liepe is the most generous, good looking, insightful, helpful, hardworking, and talented voice teacher/coach. This man deserves success. I also notice Chris promotes and preaches moderation, and when to push your voice. I can tell he prob has a lot of experience and success in the gym as well with his approach to progression. I mean look at those biceps. Don't worry Chris I see them gainz. ;) Chris is attuned to the physicality, technique, goal setting, periodizing, and fitness of using the voice. I Love it.
Hey Chris, when did you open another TH-cam account? Or is your Mum's name Horace? 🤣 Seriously though, nice words dude. Chris is a legend!
Is this Chris Liepe?
How does “good looking” have anything to do with it?
This comment lowkey giving me gay vibes 😂 it's okay bro, I'm right there with ya
@@officialWWM oh no. it’s got EVERYTHING to do with it 😂
THANK YOU! You said something I've said to lots of musicians whether it was in regards to singing or playing an instrument. Listening IS practice. Lots of musicians make the mistake of thinking they have to DO their thing during practice. But listening takes a back seat. This is bad on so many levels. Have you ever practiced every single day and then showed up to rehearsal and couldn't remember your part or how to transition from one piece of music to the other? Or what part of the song you're actually in? Maybe you forgot the words? This is often a symptom of not listening enough. It's a killer. Listening is crucial in music. In fact, you should listen to the material AND record yourself and then listen to that as well. Need a vocal rest? Cool. Use it as a time to listen to the material you need to learn and then listen to every recording you've made of your voice. Study what you did and think about how you did it.
double heart :) Great comment and addition to the video!
You can learn more about yourself by listening. I always say that to the people that work with me. They are amazed on how many details you can figure out just by listening to yourself. Also, it's a way of practicing. I've had many times where I "rehearsed" a song just by listening and imagining the vocal movements i would make. I would get to the session and know how and what to sing exactly
I have a weird irrational fear of hearing my own voice in recordings. I used to do an online podcast several years ago and I would listen to myself then and I would cringe so hard. I've been self-taught in singing for 10 years but I've never, not once, heard myself sing on a recording. I've done live karaoke for friends plenty of times, so they've heard me sing through digital audio, but I have not. It's probably something that is holding me back big time.
The most difficult thing for me is that my disability limits what I can effectively pull off, vocally. For instance, I know that diaphragm control is one of the most effective tools to singing well, but my injury level (broken and severed spine from a car accident) makes it to where I don't really have control over those muscles. Trying to figure out a way to manage my air when muscle control is limited can be aggravating, but I sing regardless because I like to and I want to. Not really sure why I'm saying all of that, but I felt like it. Lol
No, it is very nice! It was nice to hear such a story, I wish you good luck on your singing journey
Dont stop doing what you love!
I have a disability too and I’m also a singer. We can sing well, even if we have to do it our own way! Best of luck to you!
I think it’s really cool to figure out what one’s limitations are, and within what you do have, getting as much as you want/can out of it. Whether someone is able bodied or disabled. I’m adjusting to chronic fatigue atm, so I read your comment and admire you for deciding you want something, and focusing on what you CAN do.
Just concentrate on what you can do, not what you can’t. Good singing.
Also you are literally the only vocal coach that is able to shift my mindset and inspire me to practice.Thank you for that!
Agree!! Chris is amazing!!!!!
Same here I finally heard my voice at its full volume
Haven't watched yet, but definitely left a like.
Thank you!
Chris’s vids always get a like and save
I've been singing for my whole life and everyone always said how great singer i am. Always when i listened back to those phone recordings I heard that something isnt right especially if some notes where out of my comfortable speaking range. When it came to recording myself professionally I finally realised how bad things are.
I have always just tried to expand my range and like you said in this video I have great support and I can mix really well but everything else has been horrible. I had way too much air passing through my vocal chords, so much tension in my neck, i apparently didnt even know what real support was until I learned from your video how to "lift something heavy" :D.
Now im writing my bands first album and we start recording soon. Now my routine is that I warm up softly until my voice feels right without any squeks or air passing through and I get sensations that my neck has 0 tension and voice has left my throat to upper parts and I have good support from my diaphragm and lower abdominals.
Then I try to sing as softly as I can until my voice feels ok to move on to raspy stuff and screaming which both I learned from you also.
You are a gem Chris. Thank you for letting me do what I love as long as I can. Now I dont have rest after 3 songs in karaoke. Your free voice course is a must for everyone.
I feel you. The (sad) thing is that hearing "oh, you sing really well" from someone not knowing what they're talking about is like a five year old saying to you "you can drive really well"... Like it's nice to hear and to an extent it can help and motivate you but people without any insight to how thing x really works are not the best people when giving actual feedback. How could they, they don't know anything about topic x.
@@one_vegan_boi1097 I was just about to comment this very thing. I've had tons of people (Not trained in singing) tell me that I sound really good, but I know better. I'm a much harder critic on myself than anyone else could be, and I know there's always mistakes I'm making, mistakes that to their untrained ears, sounds like something intentional and the effect I was going for. I want to see a vocal coach (in person, hopefully) but money is tight.
All I have to say is "I am SOOOOO glad I never intentionally attempted to sing before studying with you!" Looking forward to further progress. Thanks as always! 💕
i'm currently rehabilitating my voice from a random onset of vocal paresis of my right vocal cord. youtube recommended this video to me and i'm really grateful for it. it's affirming that i'm doing the right things to get back on track and challenges me to ask more questions of intention about my warmups.
Dynamics
Overuse
Reaching for notes (think down on notes -> then experiment with resonance, vowels, breathing, tongue) then join to the voice
Not warming up (warm up mindfully, for what you are going to do)
Being unhealthy
Thanks for this list 👍🏻
I've done all of these things
But then again, I am self-taught for 10 years. I've also learned a lot, and learned that I have done these things, and am working on fixing them. I hope there hasn't been permanent damage done to my voice, because I was always cautious and careful not to damage it. Problem is, as a completely new singer with no direction or guidance, it's very easy to fall into a trap that seems harmless, but secretly kills your voice without you knowing, until it's too late. That is why having a singing coach or at least a 2nd opinion is very important.
@@indiemusicvideoblog thank you
Everytime I watch vocal instructions by anyone else, I always get bored and lose interest. But somehow you get my full attention. Everything you said makes sense to me.
yes, definitely can’t push the voice where it doesn’t want to go, great video man!! subbed
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Finally someone that really shares golden stuff! It shows how much you know about singing, how sensitive and open minded you are, Chris! I’m a vocal coach from Buenos Aires and I’m so glad to find someone like you, a huge voice teacher and you-tuber, to agree with. Thank you so much for your videos and congratulations for your job! 💪🏽
Welcome to the channel Rocio!! Thanks or watching and engaging!! From a fellow vocal coach... Any ideas and suggestions welcome!
I WISH I HAD FOUND THIS 3 years ago!!!!! PURE GOLD. Chris brings advice that is *real, relatable, balanced, unconventional in the best way, the MUCH NEEDED for the world way. ;)
Wish I had more time to binge this man.
Thank you so much for all the info you provide for free!
If you haven’t already, Dustin and his band Starset recently released a new album and his screams are really great. If you do decide to do so some great songs of his vocal work would be; My Demons, Ricochet, Telescope, Telekinetic, Something Wicked
Whos dustin?
Recording my voice is what really helps me hear it ..sounds daft but it's a great tool!
Don't just record to show people. .record to learn
Within literally 3 minutes you already covered my bad habit, I knew it was there but I didn't know if it was bad or not.
Maestro Chris is the very BEST🌹
“What’s good for the mind and body is good for the voice”👏👏
I would love to see a vocal analysis on Art Garfunkel. He has such an incredible voice. Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of the greatest vocal performances I have ever heard.
I love how your videos always help me look at things from a different perspective to change my mindset and not get stale in routine. Thanks Chris!
you nailig every part of this. I focus more on tone that is what's important to me. Being able to do many different styles comfortably and easily. ALSO you can write a song and be silent if not very quite... People think they gotta do more, no. I have written most songs like this & when it comes time to execute them I can exactly how i wanted... !!!
Very well explained and so detailed I understandd every point that youve explained. I love the way you deliver the 5 bad habits that will ruin our voices. Thank you very much for this, it was very helpful to me and I believe to most people out there. God bless you brother.
Amazing Video! This is wealth to any and every singer. Chris. Your videos and courses are by far treasures for all singers of any style of music. It's revolutionary!!!!! I know this by what I have personally experienced and what has been unlocked in me.
The body and voice thing is so frigging real! I’ve even met a couple of people who actually lost their voice temporarily directly from extreme stress. No, I don’t mean people who had a brain infarction or anything like that but simply wrecked their bodies through stress and then had to wait several for weeks before they could use it their voice. One of them is a musician and music teacher. He was forced to use the piano only to teach, for at least one semester. Imagine that… So guys, don’t you get there if you value your life and your music.
Been there. Caused so much jaw tension and my throat was getting sore. Went to the doctor and took antibiotics twice for tonsilitis and it didn't do anything until I de-stressed and was able to relax my muscles. Then I was doing great right in time for some important shows I had.
1st that will kill your voice: i think I've done a lot of this, I really wanted to like take this over down. But i haven't yet improved. So im currently working as well as that.
2nd that will kill your voice: def ive done this before, but I've fixed it.
3rd Yes This is the most used before, i think rn as well cause im doing some cover that i need to do a high note that i actually did hit before but louder. Now i think i fixed it.
4th I'VE ONLY PRACTICE ONLY ONCE (LAST DAY) ever in my life i haven't practice.
5th this is the only one i haven't violate that much. so thanks for this! i really appreciate it.
i was trying to apply to the free voice lessons but suddenly it doesn't work i hope you can help me with that thanks!
I played in a cover band for nearly 20 years. Voice was one thing I could count on even if I was sick until one day. Literally overnight. Woke up with a sore throat. Couldn't control pitch at all. Slowly over weeks I gained back control but had no strength or stamina. Unable to get any grit/overdrive. It would go straight to clipping. Singing with strength makes me start to gag. I'll literally dry heave if I sing too long or too hard.
This is a great video Chris, I relate to a lot of it. Especially the air flow and getting hoarse. Vocal warms up for me are very personal as in I have to do them alone and it's a chance to sort of centre myself and focus on what's really happening inside, if it's not coming easily then something is wrong; tension, forgetting to breathe etc. Generally for studio recordings, I do a fifteen minute warm up alongside some breathing exercises and then I am pretty much prepped for the studio, first few takes are sometimes a little rough as I am just trying to find my flow and get into the moment from the world outside. This is the new me as of a few years now, I used to batter my voice in to doing what I wanted it to do, very bad habit.
Feels like you just answered EVERY question I have about my voice. Taking your free class. Thank you.
Brilliant breakdown Chris, it's easy to get bogged down in bad habits and poor technique when you're constantly using your voice. You've pointed out some definite obstacles and ways to overcome them 👍
Your ability to break stuff down intelligently but in a simple way that anyone can understand, really helps. Incredibly knowledgeable guy. Like the biology info...it matters
Holy shit, starting in my head voice and bringing it down just changed the game for me!
One of the best peace of advice I could got by a teacher from youtube. Thank you Chris! You rock! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thanks for the extra information here in addition to the video of yours I watched yesterday - Singers: How to (and how not to) Rest Your Voice. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Since I'm resting my voice for the next few days the subject you covered here is very timely!
For me, signs I'm overdoing it rarely manifest themselves while I'm practicing - when it would actually be helpful! Instead I wake up the next day with a very hoarse voice. The discipline I need to develop is to stop singing even when I'm having a great time and sounding good because it's just been too many hours and I should know I'm bound to feel it the next day. I just get so enthusiastic it's hard to stop.
I taught myself to sing and my warm up was always singing songs one octave lower than they were recorded. I'm a high baritone so singing songs one octave lower than they are on the record is very comfortable and easy for me to do. It seemed like a natural way to warm up but now I'm guessing that way of warming up probably wasn't optimal.
I'm a low baritone and my normal, comfortable range is definitely in chest voice. I'm not sure what Chris was saying when he asked the question whether you warm up going high to going low, and vice versa. I was assuming he was going to say one is healthier than the other, but it may just be personal preference. I definitely start low, then build up higher. I'm also the same way when singing, I don't notice strain or any issues really at all while singing, but if I start using my speaking voice after singing, I sound like M. Shadows (The singer for Avenged Sevenfold, you can watch plenty of interviews and hear his speaking voice, it's very rough and hoarse) when I know that my normal speaking voice does not sound like that at all. This alone tells me that I sang either too long, or too hard, or didn't warm up properly.
@@ThallanarRabidtooth As a low baritone, do you ever sing songs an octave lower than recorded and wonder of maybe there would be an audience for that type of singing? A lot of people are really impressed over high notes but I've found that the lower notes have more room to create a beautiful tone, whereas the high notes are so thin there's not much room for expression.
@@russellspear6188 I don't study music on a technical level enough to understand what an "Octave Lower" sounds like. I don't play piano so I don't know the notes. However, I have a few times amused myself by singing songs as low as possible, definitely into the bass range, and on occasion into the subharmonic range (Still practicing those). There's a singer I really like who's a bass, named Geoff Castellucci, that does a lot of bass singer covers of popular songs. He's way deeper than me, but on a good day I can match almost all of his notes.
About alchohol: It draws water away from your body so your chords will be hoarse and if you sing that way your voive tires faster.
YES
Same thing goes for caffeine, actually.
This is so helpful! Especially the part about reaching for notes and warming up. Really needed this
I like how the singer from disturbed is helping us common folk.
Concise, and on point. Heard 'em all before, but probably not so simply packaged, and together and in one place. Thanks Chris, one for my mantra play list.
Really great choice of words to explain the philosphy of singing, your delivery really resonates with me.
Yo! I like your humble spirit. Seem like you genuinely want to help. ✊🏾✊🏾. New follower
Thanks for the sub! And for engaging in the content!
So inspirational, Chris. This is pure gold.
What a great open talk Chris, thank you.
Aaaaaahhhhhh! You say stuff that MAKE SENSE!!! My body totally gets what you say.
I’ve been waiting for this video for so long!
Thank you for the very helpful 'breathing' information ! After many, many years (30 + ) of public singing
in large choirs, and small groups (trio) I'm learning new aids ! Great helps ! Good job, teacher =) !
Chris Lepe is a beacon of light in this world of darkness...😉
You just came up as a TH-cam suggestion… here I am, a 45 year old whose sang my entire life, & even I was inspired & enlightened here. Maybe I’m trying to hard now to hit those Gen X rock high notes? I’m going to take your advice here! Subscribed! Namaste 🙏
Thanks for the sub and for watching Charles! Welcome to the channel :)
These things i definitely needed about 5-7 years ago. I'm guilty of all these, Now with more experience I am glad I didn't completely destroyed my voice.
I've followed your free course and I have learned so much stuff about my voice.. like.. I used to make the mistake of avoiding going too high just because of fear of sounding "too nasal" but in fact it helped me explore a wider range I didn't know I had besides learning more about my breathing. Thanks a lot. BTW, I'd love a video focused on HIM's Ville Valo's voice some day. He's got such a beautiful and uncommon voice for rock and metal and still makes it work flawlessly. In the meantime I'll keep watching your vids :)
I love the way you explained this ❤️ it’s helping a lot. Lots of love and light sent your way✨🦋
This is profound beyond vocal training.
Good stuff!
Yo, Thanks for this video! You've brought my confidence in singing back, for sure. It's been a rough few weeks, but with this, I was able to do the right things with my voice! I'm back in the game all thanks to you! God Bless You sir!
Love your videos Chris! I’ve been a singer songwriter for this alternative/punk band for a while now, and have grown to like my voice. I’ve also been aware that my vocal technique is likely not serving my voice well at times. These videos that you put up for FREE, are so insightful and inspiring 🙏🏼 I’m going to do my best to keep taking as much as I can from what you share. Best wishes! -Jacob
I've just realized that I was having acid reflux caused by gluten for over a year now. I changed my diet and I'm still recovering, but instantly noticed positive changes.
I didn't have any symptoms at all, except that I would feel uncomfortable during/after singing. I thought It was technique because I'm self taught. I've worked really hard on warming up like a maniac and doing everything perfectly and It wouldn't go away. Tried resting my voice for a whole month and It didn't work. Tried to always sing with an empty stomach and never lay flat for 3h after my last meal, didn't work. I always drank tons of water and It didn't change anything. In the end, It could only be reflux and it was! Maybe this information could help a few people.
I have this same issue
Excellent vid. Used your imagine you’ve got water in the mouth and chicken noise for last gig which worked a treat. Forgotten how to sing since but all these tips have reinstalled the feelings I need to sing. Thanks Chris
I came for the tips and left with extra insight. Tysm! Glad I found your channel
I really appreciate the knowledge you drop daily. Many thanks sir!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks you so much..my bad habits has been killing my voice...now i am at rest for a couples days.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video.. .
✅ Is giving me great advice.
⬜ Is telling me facts I didn't know.
✅ Is literally calling me out, & I feel some type of way about it.
I need to stop using too much air when it’s not necessary. In the famous words of Chester, I’m breaking the habit tonight!
I’ve been watching your videos and I never understood how much exercises and time it actually takes to have a good voice, I get jealous from friends of mine that just naturally sing amazing. I ask them so many questions on how I can work with mine but they all say they don’t even think about it it just comes to them. I play guitar and always wanted to sing and you break things down very simple. I catch myself trying to harmonize with vocalist I listen to. I feel like I have potential but just can’t get there. Thanks for your vids they’ve been helping me a lot to understand the hard work it takes to use your voice!!
Yeah, to be honest man, you only really get a good voice from singing. About three years ago, I was interested in learning how to sing well, but I absolutely hated my singing voice (besides my lack of ability, also the general sound of it). These days, I can actually say that I’m proud of how I can sing, and I’ve started singing with a band and gotten compliments that I know I wouldn’t have gotten a couple years ago. What did I do? I just sang. Singing songs from all of the artists I enjoy, doing musical theater, taking a couple of voice lessons (that really didn’t do much other than encourage me but not help specifically), and just experimenting. Specific “lessons” and exercises can help if you’re working on one thing in particular; but by far, the most important thing overall is just for you to sing, and put your heart into it (and even if you sound “bad” at first, just have fun with it, and do your best).
@@aelarlightbringer6372 thank you for the advice, I started to do just that. I just sang my favorite rock songs and I kinda see improvement but I just started paying attention to how I use my voice. Thank you for taking time out of your day to help. It means a lot!
All my friends say I have a naturally good singing voice, but they don't know what I sounded like 10 years ago, hell, even 5 years ago. I've made a lot of progress in my singing voice, a lot of hard work that is not easily seeable from the outside.
I've been taking the chain smoking approach for a couple years, looking for better range and power in my voice. Wish me luck.
haha... GOOD LUCK
Thank you for this video! Your explanations and examples are really good, and I know I can be faulted for several of those killer traps! I also really enjoyed your video on how to sing with distorted vocals 😄👍
Chris your videos are very helpful. ❤️❤️ Can you please make a video on how to naturally prevent saliva buildup in mouth while singing? I always had this problem, but never realized it was ruining flawless singing. It also drags down my confidence.
As always, an amazing video! 🤘🏻🥳
Thank you 🙏 very much this video help me more then any other video I watched
Awesome singer, Awesome coach. Thanks again Chris!
a most wonderful instructional video!!
that authentic sound is most fulfilling
This is something I needed to hear, and I’m also feeling a little terrified over what my habits may have already done.
Great advice here and very well explained! Going to watch many more of your videos, thanks for making them!
Articulate and insightful. Very useful. I'm signing up for you course.
Awesome! See you there!
Nice affirmations and checklists you’re teaching. Thx unto you
love the content!
thanks for being so active! this channel would blow up again very soon i can feel it!
i write a bit of lyrics and sing a bit, and would like to put out some content, how can i start doing so ?
a few of my lyrics have been published, but i would like to put out songs i guess....where should i start?
also, i love your vocal covers!! i would love to see some of those again!!
Great news Sambuddha! Start by simply improvising over a few chords and feeling out where a melody might take you! I actually help people with this in my course Discover Your Voice. You can request an invite at chrisliepe.com if you want to check it out further!
@@chrisliepe i didnt mean that..i have written some songs, but was looking for ways to put out content online, any tips?
@@sroycze9284 By FAR... I have had the best luck just by starting to post consistently on TH-cam. That's really where I started and will be focusing on for the foreseeable future!
@@chrisliepe thanks, love the content!
u should do Dustin Bates from the band starset. He’s a powerhouse
U are inspiring my friend!! Thx for the wonderful words of wisdom…🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
very great tips, thanks a lot as always Chris!
Awesome advice!! Thank you, Chris!! Subscribed!! 👍👍
Very important teaching
Now I’m interested in knowing what kind of singing style your Son is into! When do we get to hear his voice?
Very helpful. Thank you.
Recently, I rewatched your videos and you said something about using the part that you close off air flow when straining. I tried it and it was like a something broke out and I had this nice, loud, full, oscillalting note like never before. Truly groundbreaking. Then I talked to my friend who used to be a vocal trainer of some sort? but his ques didn't quiet stick. But after the incident, every thing he explained kinda clicked and now my perception and understanding of singing has changed.
I always thought more air, more support was better but now understand that ther needs to be a balance, and the balance between airflow and support, chest voice and head voice ratio is what makes all the unique sounds and vocals sound the way they are. Not sure if that is the right way to put it though. Anyway, thank you Chris for all the information
P.S. What is your opinion on heavy squats and lifting type bracing(valsalva manuver) in correlation to singing support?
I can annoy people with my voice pretty well. Should I really lean into that?
Love these videos! Helps me with my metal vocals
Number 2 and 3. I overused my voice, and have had chronic laryngitis for 7 months. I've gone from singing pretty much every day og my life to not being able to sing or use my voice at all for 7 months. I pushed when I couldn't do the things I normally could, and gradually killed my voice. I've never felt so broken and helpless as I have for the last 7 months. Not even when I couldn't use my arm for 8 months after a surgery. I hate my life. Don't be me!
Man... I'm so sorry to read this. IT IS a horrible feeling and I can empathize with you! I over practiced on guitar and damaged a nerve in my arm. My guitar playing has never been the same :(
I’ve lost my voice since August now. I dropped out of uni to pursue music but this is becoming a questionable choice like this ahahaa. It comes back sometimes and then I’ll briefly gain some hope to record again before I get set back to the start again.. I even have to limit my talking at social events! Keep me up to date with your recovery man
@@chrisliepe I just hope my voice will get back to normal... Not a limited version of what it used to be... I've been to ENT's, and I don't have any obvious permanent damage. But nothing is for certain...
Also I'm a guitar teacher, so since I have to talk all day at work my recovery is even slower
@@luverite889 Dude I was in your situation for a while before I got like this. Don't start recording again when it comes back. Seriously, let it heal for way longer. Even though it seems kind of ok again, wait even longer. The fact that you *can* sing again does not mean you *should*. Yet. You need time to heal. Also book an appointment with an ENT, so they can look at your vocal cords. Your voice is never supposed to come and go like that, and you're risking permanent/chronic damage(like me).
@@SuperGamingguitarist did it ever get back to you? The healthcare in the UK takes a longg time with covid and all
The smoking vs. voice controversy continues. Not a smoker myself, but some singers swear by smoking to keep their voices in shape. Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin smoked all their adult lives and both claimed it helped their singing. And I've personally known singers that felt the same way. Maybe they're just internally justifying their addiction, but they claim to believe it's a benefit for their voice.
That’s insane. Smoking creates mucus and it’s bad for my soprano singing voice
Thank you for sharing the wisdom sir!
Thanks.. Don't let your ego lead you...
Thank you Chris! amazing tips as always. How long in terms of minutes do you think should we practice singing and how long should we rest?
holy shit i felt so trapped and i stumbled upon this and i realized that i have this problem, im gonna keep this in mind when i practice
Brilliant helped me think a bit more out the box

5 Singing Habits Secretly Killing YOUR Gains! (NOT CLICKBAIT!!)
Yes, I follow Jeff too... And YES I get title ideas from him too :) hehehehe
This video has helped me a lot. Thank you so much!!
I gotta agree with all you mentioned. Very well said, straight and to the point. For me personally, I do not smoke anymore, that was and is by far the worst. The second which i struggled with is sleeping. If i don't sleep well (not necessarily enough), I sound like s@$& and just don'thave the energy. Thanksfor thr vid.
Hi, man!
I really dig your vocal lessons!
It has made a difference for sure. I'm slowly developing my own voice now.
Thank you!
Could you make a "How to sing like John Lennon" lesson?
Oh no I been reaching for notes. That'll have to go. Great video thanks
I've taught myself so far how to sing and I feel like I've learnt at least 70% of those wrong habits you're talking about 😂😭. Do you still have courses available or spaces to teach??
