There are times when sustaining, I can feel my heart beat through my voice. Is this normal? I’ve heard you comment on this before Claudia… anything I could do to reduce this… or just let it be free to beat through my voice ?
I think it is probably fine. Some people have a higher level of kinesthetic awareness where this is concerned. If in addition to these sensations, you also find that your face is turning red and the veins are popping out on the sides of your neck, then I would be concerned! but if everything else feels fine, I wouldn't worry.
Today I tryed to use one of the "tips" you gave the students. The top note seemed difficult but when I used a strategy to let it go and descend it came very easily and then I used it to sing the same note and the emission start to be a pleasure one. I am afraid I will not be able to reproduce it again. I had so much fun. Thank you Claudia.
Ideally, the abdominal muscles as well as all of the other structures and tissues that are active while breathing, engage reflexively as needed to provide the intensity of subglottal breath pressure needed to perform the phrase you are singing. They do need to be conditioned and trained to do this. Intentionally applying abdominal pressure in the moment will also get your cords to vibrate, but it's much more efficient to develop the coordination to allow the breath to respond to communicative intent rather than manipulating it directly.
@@ClaudiaFriedlander Thanks. I'm studying osteopathy (anatomy) and realised that when in needed of a strong stream of air (like when singing at high volume) we have to engage some muscles apart from the diaphragm. But I like the idea that keeping it as relaxed as possible. I enjoyed your vision that the lungs elasticity provide a great amount of power, thus leading to a more vivid feeling of the chest
Very inspiring and practical ! But the recording is difficult to figure out what is said clearly. It would be excellent if the sound effect could be improved.
I read your post "Anatomy of breathing" on web, thanks you, i find it very interesting. Can i ask you a question? High sternum is very important, so What are the names of the muscles that support it? i can't translate it... And when we focus on high sternum, do we need to think about pelvic muscles? because i see it's necessary to take a deep breath. sr i not good at english
The muscles that raise and stabilize the sternum are the rhomboids and the upper and middle trapezius, working together with the erector spine and other muscles that extend the thoracic spine. If you strengthen these muscles using fitness exercises like rear delt flyes and lat pulldowns, you can improve your overall posture and will not have to think so much about your sternum while you're actually singing. Where the pelvic muscles are concerned, I think that it is important to generally condition the muscles of the core, abdomen and pelvis, but I do not think that thinking about them while singing is very helpful. However, if you find that you are habitually tensing in this area it is important to figure out how to release that tension in order to breathe well for singing.
Hello, Claudia obviously has given you a perfect translation there. I don't know where you are from, but may I suggest something called "Deepl Translation" which is widely available in England and Europe. If you can find it, it is a good tool and simple to use
Great Video! Thank you for uploading and sharing
Best I've ever heard
Thanks so much for this video. It's priceless.
Il love it !!! I want learn ! Im french

@@ClaudiaFriedlander hahaha!! No my head doesn’t feel like it is going to explode. Thank you so much for the feedback!!
Thanks for showing techniques in proper singing.
Nice video
Thank you Claudia

Is that maybe some kind of abdominal muscles have to engage anyhow? Not in a forced way but lightly.

呼吸对唱歌太重要了，我总是不知道练习跳音音阶的时候该如何呼吸。先留言再听课。将来有机会去找您上课。
interesting class, but please look into improving the recording microphone because it's painful to listen to in the high notes

@@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394 thanks you very much !!
@@hoanggiangmelody6342 You're welcome.
Can’t get enough of these workshops! So informative and immensely helpful!
Good information but the last lady kept leaning back with the rubber bands may be an idea to get someone to stand behind her for support.
sr but i think the first guy did it wrong?
It’s always the black guy. I think he did a fantastic job.
