This was the MOST helpful video for placing the sound in the mask!! I'm a first soprano who wants to be able to belt so I'm working on my mixed voice and all the videos say place the sound in the mask without telling you how! This was WONDERFUL thank you!!!
absolutely brilliant! In 12:42 minutes I was able to get a grasp of what my teacher was not able to explain to me for 3 years. Simplicity is the key! Thank you.
Why is it so that most voice teachers i listen to, it feels almost like they are speaking another language that i dont understand. Then i stumble on someone like you Who makes perfect sense and you make it look easy aswell. Thank you for sharing
this is the first time in months that I've actually felt like I'm not just getting information but can go along with the video and APPLY whats being said 😭 ❤ thank you so much. I've been struggling alot with proper resonance and have been going crazy trying to fix it. This definitely has given me hope on how to start doing that!!!!
3 WOW the "ooooo, eeeeee, ahhhhh" was coming from three different places. Hear what you are teaching. Sing from the same place, Ooooo moves out for Eeeee then Eeee makes room for Ahhhhh. Focused sound, sounds better! Thanks Singing Sensei
The metaphor "to kick out from the house" - is just amazing !. It force to keep right pressure of air do not let that "ah" full down somewhere out. And, "to lift soft palate but dont place sound there" - its amazing !. I was doing this mistake and now I wont thanks you 🌷
6 was the actually level I got to when you were going up the scale singing the resonance exercise. From the 7th on I couldn't sing higher. That's my range. Cool to hear you singing higher and higher Sensei
I've been learning to sing for about a year and getting much better, but I've been really confused about the terms placement and mask. This is the best video I found on the subject - you're such a clear and articulate teacher! This is super helpful, I especially like the colors exercise as a way to put it all into context involving a mix of different vowels with consonants as we'll encounter in real music. Thank you for this, now off to practice! 😅
2 love the comparison of the hard and soft places on/in the head/face to a hard surfaced room and one covered in pillows. See/Hear what you are singing/saying 😎
The house tip helped putting all the vowels in the same spot, i have a very heavy natural voice and i have a tendency to swallow my words, narrowing the vowels between the eyes, like youre pushing away something with your mind really helped, the voice cuts so much more powerfully i was even above my noisy rock band mates these last rehersals :D, it totally makes it easy to belt and overall focus the tone, like you have a place to aim to
I like to try to place my sound just behind my nasal area. I plug my nose and try not to feel vibrations, but strive for some resonance still. I like your video, you're very articulate.
I NEED to join your Patreon. THANK you so much for this video (and your other videos). I have been struggling to FEEL the mask. I've been singing for over 30 years and struggle with hoarseness (I sing in a Gospel choir and praise team). I am finally able to figure out how to FEEL the mask when I sing. Baby steps....THANK YOU again.
Don’t be afraid to make the A a little brighter and focus more on the A sound of the vowel and not the “h”. Once you feel that very forward resonance of the A sound you can round it out a little bit w the “h”. Does that make sense?!
Do we also need to place the high notes on the hard part ? To go higher? Maybe with less air though? And thank you for your teaching,you are too good 🌸
7 Your color Song is Gold:) Awesome easy song to remember and practice for stronger focus on my Mask of Singing. Thank you for today's lesson, yes you are our Singing Sensei Happy day 🎤💗💗🎤
You are such an incredible teacher. I have a naturally low voice for a female and am very comfortable singing alto and tenor. Should I focus resonance a little lower in the mask or is this placement appropriate for all voice types?
Cool video! I don't know whether or not you do tutorials for guitar but theres this song called Amazing Grace / Jesus Loves Me / Alleluia and I've been trying to learn the chords(the same thing repeats the whole time)but I haven't found anything helpful on it. There’s only one cover I can find on it and I can’t seem to understand the strings he’s picking. Could you maybe look into this song? If not totally fine. Have a good day!
Thank you for the video! Sorry for the question … but how to open the lips correctly on the vowels? For example - E is like smile on the face … or … like vowel Oh
I think it's more natural to feel them in the lower register and have a slightly lighter buzz in the upper registers because it's not in the chest voice. Try to place the notes in your upper range where you place your lower notes. It will feel slightly different because it's a different register, but hopefully you'll feel them in your resonance.
Not listen to charlatans like this on YT! Masque (not 'mask') resonance is a SYMPATHETIC vibration, caused by the entire vocal tract, not 'putting' your sound 'into the [sic] 'mask.' You cannot 'put' the sound ANYWHERE- it's vibrating air! Find a NATS-approved teacher, and not these YT phonies.
Thank you for your teaching. I am wondering is there a reason you are singing the vowels with an H at the beginning? Is it to make sure there is not a glottal attack?
I’d say both. You need space to form vowel sound and you need the tone placed in your resonance to project without straining. The placement will affect the tone. I hope that makes sense.
I was classically trained and taught to send the sound back and up and bounce it forward from there. Also the vowals are all back and up for me, especially oo. Lots of space in the back. Is this wrong or just different?
Hola amiga temazo Bendición guapicima Gracias me encanta muchísimo tú vidios Saludos allá cantan genial cómo los ángeles Saludos desde Marbella málaga España felíz días bonitas
Actually there is no place for the voice to actually resonate and project but the head, and the whole head voice , chest voice, concept is just a bs, cuz when you sing in said chest voice ,you feel more buzz in chest area, and that doesn't mean the resonance in the sound comes from the chest it comes from your vocal tract, the laryngopharynx oropharynx and nasopharynx. And when you sing in said headvoice the buzz in your chest disappeared cuz the working of the vocal cords change and the overtones shifted, and the formants that cause the chest to vibrate doesn't work anymore (not to mention it doesn't really come out as a sound) so it all happened in the vocal tract. And Don't be too dependent on TH-cam , diaphragmatic support, resonance etc etc bs ok.
Hello! I'm kind of confused at this concept- I'm trying to find my mixed voice and whenever I do these exercises to find the feeling of the "mask" I either don't find it or can never sing normal notes. I don't really ever feel it- mind helping me out with this?

This is the EXACT thing I’ve been trying to learn! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I’m so happy this helped!
Using resonance as the focus and a guide to develop vocal techniques is the best most effective way, and she really digs deep into it here, thank you
So glad that this helped you, and thank you for your encouragement. I really appreciate it 😀😀.
OMG.. this girl can teach! What a natural teacher. Thank you
absolutely brilliant! In 12:42 minutes I was able to get a grasp of what my teacher was not able to explain to me for 3 years. Simplicity is the key! Thank you.
This is FANTASTIC. Noticed the diffference immediately.
this is the best video on placement i've seen!
Oh wow! Thank you! I’m so glad that this helped you 😀.

Glad you like them!
wow, so cool!!!I love so really much exercises about ressonance. Thank you!!
This was the most help full of all other people’s videos I watched thank you very detailed
Such a comprehensive breakdown. I really appreciate it!

Cool 1 "The Mask of Singing" caught my eye in the title and then reading your description your words "sang" with understanding. Great read
this was definitely the most helpful video out there!!!!! thanks alot!!!!
I'm so glad that this helped you :). Thanks so much for watching and have a great day.
Makes perfect sense. Works too
Thank u so much this really helped I need to vibrate my mask more
Glad it helped!
The best things in life are free so they say. and they were right ♥
thank you♥♥
Thanks for being here 😀.
you are an angel🥰☺️
Tyler...TTP...getting this? Thanks for this lesson.
Thanks for watching! I’m happy it helped 😀😀😀.
Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks so much for being here! I really appreciate it.
Amazing explanation of this concept. Subscribed 🙏
Great video! makes so much sense!
Fantastic explanations!! I thought I got singing through the mask until this video.
4 Ahhh, Oooo, Eeeee I'm excited! Now I know a quick "sound check" resonance exercise
thank you so much!!! this is great, keep it up :D
Very helpful. Thank you!
So glad that this helped! Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment.
5 yahhhh wow, it's the little things! The Y really opens the flow and I found the transition from Eeeee to aaaaa smoother, yahh!
Another wonderful video, I am sharing theses with my church choir also. Thank you so much.
Thank you so so much!!!!
So glad that this helped 😀😀.
Thank you for your help solved my problem.

Awesome teacher
Thanks for watching and have a great day. I’m glad it helped.
I have a hard time getting the "Ah" into the mask.
Don’t be afraid to make the A a little brighter and focus more on the A sound of the vowel and not the “h”. Once you feel that very forward resonance of the A sound you can round it out a little bit w the “h”. Does that make sense?!
I had the same problem....is it normal the ah to be a bit more dificult to put it " in the mask" ?
8:00 exercises
The 9:00 is the exercise
Subscribed as soon as you made the analogy!
I figured it out. Your face starts vibrating but you can't force the sound there.
Glad this helped.
Great great video. Thanks so much.
Do we also need to place the high notes on the hard part ? To go higher? Maybe with less air though? And thank you for your teaching,you are too good 🌸
REALLY G R E A T !!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!!

Genius!
Awesome advice, thank you!
Idk if placing in the mask works for some people, but it doesn’t for me. I sound more masculine and resonant when I don’t sing in the mask.
Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day.
Love you😘
Thank you for being here, and congratulations on being the first comment!!
Awesome!
When I feel buzzing it’s only very subtle and soft, I don’t feel it unless I really concentrate... am I doing it right then??
Now I know whats wrong with my voice, thanks ! One more problem is going to be solved :D

The first part is so accurate omg. are u my neighbour?

Does forward placement always buzz your nose if closed? Doesn't that mean I'm singing through my nose?
Yes
Damn that was helpful!!!!!

Thank you for your teaching. I am wondering is there a reason you are singing the vowels with an H at the beginning? Is it to make sure there is not a glottal attack?
Thanks for watching and I’m glad this helped. Good question. Yes, I’m trying to soften the beginning of the phrase to make sure it’s not harsh.
OO house .Great
10:00
Is this placement just for the strong/bold tone you're making? would you place the resonance elsewhere for a softer RnB voicing?
When doing the vowels are you supossed to have nasal resonance or do you have a lifted soft palate
I’d say both. You need space to form vowel sound and you need the tone placed in your resonance to project without straining. The placement will affect the tone. I hope that makes sense.
I was classically trained and taught to send the sound back and up and bounce it forward from there. Also the vowals are all back and up for me, especially oo. Lots of space in the back. Is this wrong or just different?
Pls, do you attempt to place the voice on the two sides of the dome or just on one side?
Hi, thanks for the video. Why is it that I can feel the oo and ee but I have trouble with the ah?
Gracias Díos te bendiga bonitas voz genial eres cómo los ángeles cantan genial Saludos allá eres maravillosa
Is "forward" and "masked" placement the same thing?
I don't have a buss but i do sound nasally when talking with my hands pinching my nose
What is the singing mask area ?
Hola amiga temazo Bendición guapicima Gracias me encanta muchísimo tú vidios Saludos allá cantan genial cómo los ángeles Saludos desde Marbella málaga España felíz días bonitas
Is this the same as creating a head voice since it's all resonating from the head? What happens to the middle voice and chest voice?
Actually there is no place for the voice to actually resonate and project but the head, and the whole head voice , chest voice, concept is just a bs, cuz when you sing in said chest voice ,you feel more buzz in chest area, and that doesn't mean the resonance in the sound comes from the chest it comes from your vocal tract, the laryngopharynx oropharynx and nasopharynx.

And Don't be too dependent on TH-cam , diaphragmatic support, resonance etc etc bs ok.
Can lower notes be sung in mask resonance?
I can't feel my singing anywhere. I plugged my nose and got the right sound, but no vibration. What am I doing wrong?
What mic is that?
I have hard time doing this in a higher tone. Any tips?

Hello! I'm kind of confused at this concept- I'm trying to find my mixed voice and whenever I do these exercises to find the feeling of the "mask" I either don't find it or can never sing normal notes. I don't really ever feel it- mind helping me out with this?
Me too, please help
...
I was today years old when I realized I have 2 separate but converging palates. I mean.. my entire childhood and I never-
GRRRREAT...
So happy that this helped you :).
Tbh I closed my nose and sang and then I let go and continued singing and my voice wasn’t nasally and I didn’t strain, is that mix?
No
when i do my high notes it automatically goes into mask is it a goos thing?
I think it's a good thing. You want to keep the pressure off of the larynx.
Soooo much fu-un lea-er-ningggggg🙂.
