I think my biggest challenge with practicing and learning in general through singing, is that I don't take things down to a half-step level in focus! For instance, I love singing phrases, runs, and all of the fun exciting performance items in order to get myself excited to practice! However, what really makes me feel like I'm getting better is this sort of connection that's made with slowing down my intentions and appreciating the humbleness of becoming as beautifully simple as possible! Flossing the notes is so satisfying when you're exploring a key center's shape through your own voice. I like to find ins and outs that correlate to different scales, like converting a predominantly Mixolydian major sound with a Phrygian dominant minor sound, like inverting the colors! Thank you for all who contributed to this video!
WHAT THE HELL this lady is a genius😭 i've never been able to accept that the portamento is the true way to achieve "legato" in singing because i was first a violinist, and sliding my finger between notes is not legato...
How can I contact the heavy set guy in the end of the video? I liked everyone but related to him the most. What’s his name? Does he have TH-cam tutorial videos? Thank you. I’m William Swan.
Thank goodness for this sage wisdom from Rachelle and Derrick. That guy in the middle needs to get a few lessons himself. His tired vibrato and tuning is out of control

This studio with the Shigeru piano and the fireplace is my LITERAL DREAM.
I wouldn't leave the house, I would put my mattress in the CORNER
What a wonderfoul class!

It certainly IS! As a lifelong concert artist, when playing cantabile ("in a singing style") I like to slide imperceptibly softly between notes
Thank you. My vocal coach has always emphasises don't take a breath.

Derrick Goff! We have several courses with him on the tonebase voice platform :)
Opening statement WRONG. All string instruments can slide between notes! (Obviously, in imitation of the voice).
And what about slurs, where the finger is added (or, as the lady says, removed revealing the lower one) without stopping the bow??
It’s more complicated on fretted instruments (like the guitar).
A violin is not a mechanical instrument. It doesn't have hammers or levers or pistons or anything of the sort. So the opening statement is correct.
😊😊👏👏👏👌🤗

Also he seems to be confusing vibrato with the harmonics produced by a well positioned voice.
