Placement is one of the most confusing concepts in singing. Why?
Because everyone feels the vibrations and resonance of singing slightly differently
For instance, some people feel that they can place the tone forward, back, nasal, oral, in their head in their chest [show crazy diagram with notes coming out of skull]
Which is correct?
Whichever one sounds the best and is the easiest to produce
When people ask about the correct placement for singing, I’ve found that there are a few best practices which help people find the best sound for their voice
This comes from teaching over 1,000 singers in private lessons and won’t be true for everyone, but many of these guidelines come from my own experience
In general, I would say that placement correlates pretty closely with the position of the tongue and larynx as well as the register that’s being sung in
And if we can make sure that all of these systems are aligned and in balance, then I don’t care where you feel that the tone is placed, it will still sound good.
So what are the best practices for sounding your best?
1) Keep the tongue forward touching the bottom front teeth at the gumline. This is true for most front vowels--”Ae”, “Eh”, “Ay” and “ee”
2) Keep the larynx balanced so that it’s not too high or too low
3) Traditionally, chest voice feels placed in the chest, forward and throaty
4) Head voice feels placed in the back of the head, back of the throat, neck or even nasal
5) Mixed voice can feel a bit nasal or throaty

Apparently I've been chewing my voice all my life. I would strike on good resonance every so often, but had no idea that one could control larynx placement and how it might affect the resonance of the voice. I've been singing some of my songs since this video and holy COW what a difference!!! You've changed things forever.
excellent to hear!
I feel like mine is more forward. Because that's how I feel the most comfortable. Thank you for being so informative and amazing. God bless you. 🙏❤
You are so welcome!
Recently, I started practicing vocal exercises again and it felt like there was a weird vibration happening on the right side of the top of my throat. It was kind of a scratchy feeling. I noticed it while I was doing “Bah” or “Goog” scales one day and had no idea why that was happening.
However, I think I figured it out and managed to fix it by being more aware of my tongue placement and making sure my tongue was quite literally front and center.
What I noticed was that the back of my tongue was pushing to the right side of my mouth and into my teeth. So, I had to consciously correct this while practicing.
Whenever I corrected it, it felt weird and out of place, even though I was sure it was in the right place. It was just so used to doing that that it felt more correct to be in that position. To be honest I had no idea it was even doing that or for how long.
Even though it felt weird, I knew it was in the right place because that weird scratchy feeling went away and I could feel and hear a difference in my voice. My voice felt more centered and like it was being evenly distributed and not just coming from the right side of my throat like it was before.
It didn’t take but a couple of days of practice to see the muscle memory kicking in. Now it’s been a week and I’m to the point where I don’t have to force it anymore.
I know this was a bit of a long read, but I thought I’d share this just in case anyone has had the same issue so maybe this would help them fix it.
Sometimes, we do things we’re not even aware of.
thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this helped me!!❤
@@goodafternoonimtomtucker380 That’s awesome! This just put a big smile on my face! 😄
it helps right away! i could inmediately find a few tones i was looking for... flamenco style...
Thanks so much!
Happy to help!
Was just looking for a good placement video, thanks a lot, keep up the great work !
thanks, Maxime
Thank you for this! Placement is so confusing!
I definitely think that I have a bunch a misunderstandings when it comes to singing. The only "teaching" I got was from choir, and I heard all these terms but never knew what any of them meant. That being said, now that I'm trying to learn to sing seriously or better, I'm doing a lot of research and this video definitely helped. The craziest feeling I think I got was with head placement, feeling it in the back of my neck and it slowly creep down my neck as the notes went lower. I'm gonna be using these tips as a way to help better my voice. Not just with my singing. But warmups too, putting it into practice is gonna be challenging but fun. Figuring out how proper placement works. Also thanks with helping me understand that the "mask" placement doesn't necessarily mean nasally.
McCartney had trouble singing like Little Richard for a recording, and Lennon reminded him that he said he did it by singing at the top of his head. Then he was able to do it.
good info
thank you so much.. i learned much from this video compared to my previous voice coach, ur a great music teacher god bless
Your tips light up my mind so much❤
I really love what this video teaches us. Thank-you. I feel like I sing forward but I may not be consistent yet. Thanks for the info.
You are so welcome!
Man this is excellent but I would like to hear more about the mixed front nasal placement that is needed to achieve high notes as a tenor. The most known issue is that we try to reach high notes from the chest. Could you do a video explaining how to produce natural high notes with forward singing with nasal airflow and head voice??
wtf i just tried the tongue placement AND MY SINGING IMPROVED IMMEDIATELY 😧
I have a high larynx, and I actually felt it slightly lower on the us sound.
You inspired me to keep singing and don’t give and maybe a bit to much I lost my voice😅😅😅😅
good to hear!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Awesome job. Thanks so much ❤
You are a perfect teacher. Thank you. :-)
Thank you so much,Sir.Please advise me how to sing well.I have so many difficulities in singing Vibrato ,belting and Mixed voices.I'd like to be expert at singing.I love music deeply.
Thar, start with mastering your mixed voice, the other techniques can come later:

Thanks a lot.I have been practicing mixed voice for so long.I am so grateful to meet you,Sir.
All of them, in a mix, is what I think is actually correct. I could be wrong, (not a vocal coach like Matt.)
Chiaroscuro hey I didn`a know ya spoka the lingo !! Good info Matt !
thanks for watching
@@ramseyvoicestudio grazie !!!
Hi, Ramsey! Thanx for this video, you're the first person, who gave me a very good explanation about placement. I have big problem. I was trained from my childhood as classical singer, but then I wanted to sing pop songs. And still for many many years I can't restudy from this manner. Even my speaking voice is too backward, not to mention about singing. Is it really possible restudy to correct manner completely?
I'm used to singing in a choir voice idk how to sing normally anymore
Really love what you're doing but Why do different teachers keep saying different things? One said forcing your tongue down could make it go up and obstruct the sound? I feel so confused
I'm taking lessons after years of singing with God given talent. Lately I feel like my singing has suffered. Is that normal at the beginning?
Ok Matt but what about keeping resonance in hard palate? Is this good idea?
Love your voice can you do 3:16 by Ann Wilson
Can you react to more Zayn music? Like his most recent stuff? Or do a comparison of Zayn and Harry?
thanks
i like this!!!

Hi can you please make a video about how to bring out your voice, i know about mixed voice, i learned how to do that i know about chest voice head voice, i know about vibrato and belting and i know how to do those too, i also been doing lots of singing exercises. But out of all those teqniques im missing one thing which is the foundation of my voice, what are some teqniques to bringing out your orginal voice, do you just have to sing and not think about it or is their a exercise or teqnique to bring out your voice that way i can sound the same each time i sing and not sound diffrent every time.

Sometime I hear people who sound like they are singing like they close off the nasal passage the sound has a strange shape to it almost like its cut off does that make sense?
Hi Ramsey, I’m a singer currently learning English, I wonder is there any difference between singing placement vs speaking for the vowels in this video? Or singing is just “bigger”compare with speaking? Thank you
When i get the A to go back in the mouth, like when saying O, what am i doing with my throat? Is it the soft palate? And if so, should i be doing that or should i try to keep everything sounding forward? Is that also what is called twang?😅 so many names for so many movements and now i am able to manipulate near anything in my throat and mouth, but never taken a lesson to learn what position everything should be in, and so much information in these videoes that i get a bit lost😂
Yes. My tongue went from behind my teeth, to the roof of my mouth.
I can sing high but I can’t hold highnotes long.Can you tell me some exercises for holding?
When i sing too harsh from the mask, i often get my sinuses hurt

Doesn't the larynx move when doing fast runs etc?
it will move some, here's a lesson about the larynx:

Top back teeth vibrating seems to be a good sign
:)
My voice always cracks when I hit G#5 and above what can I do
Please, be aware that there are men who have a higher-pitched voice, women who have a lower-pitched voice and non-binary people who have either. Keeping that in mind, it would be better to avoid referring to "women" and "men" in this context so that no one feels excluded and put off from their desire to take singing lessons.
