For the last few days I’ve been practicing the tips from your “how to increase your vocal range for guys” and “how to sing better guys”-from many years ago-and found my singing to have really improved. You always mentioned a video on diaphragmatic support in every one of those videos and just by chance you uploaded this video today haha
Thanks Ken, just Hop we all watch this and the rest of these instructions 100 times to really understand all this. When it comes to practicing, every day!!
I just finished volume 1 of your vocal academy and am genuinely shocked at the difference this concept made. Bringing chest voice up to that soprano c feels absolutely amazing. I had no idea singing could feel like that, and I’m so grateful to have stumbled across your channel 🧡
Hey, I’m Georg and about 3 years ago I injured my voice while singing. For about 2 years I haven’t been able to talk without pain and swelling feeling at all so I’ve not talked at all. I’ve consulted with my doctors and they’ve told me to exercise speaking regularly even if there’s pain but I want to spread my story to get second opinions. I used to sing a lot for several years before my injury. Some days even about 3 hours a day. Went to singing school sometimes, learn a bit of the (CVT vocal technique) One evening, I started to sing and my voice was not that great that day and I also drank a milk product before what causes my throat to produce a lot of mucus and thick feeling. I tried to sing one high note, but I couldn't reach it, so I squeezed my neck and vocal chords to get that high note and that’s how I injured my voice. From that day on my vocal injury has gone worse to the point that for 2 years now, I haven’t been speaking at all. Just a couple of words in one year. The reason for it is now when I speak, my vocal chords and thyroid area get “swollen” and painful(nerve pinching pain). I put swollen in brackets, because I’ve been to a laryngoscope and the camera didn’t detect any swelling in my vocal chords when they looked at it. The vocal chords were just weak and atrophied. Going back to 2021 when I firstly injured my voice. The symptoms then were similar, there was the swelling feeling, and nerve pain. (it’s really weird to me that there was no swelling detected on camera, because when I get the swelling feeling, my whole throat feels so swollen. I even got a thyroid ultrasound, but nothing was detected there) So back then, basically I still could use my voice after the injury. So I had to not speak for a couple of weeks and then the swelling feeling went away. And I could practice again and talk. But as time went on. The swelling came back and back. I gave it more and more rest, to make the swelling go away.(one doctor back then even said that don’t stop speaking, but for me it didn’t make sense cause my throat felt so swollen and nerve pinching pain was quite bad). So I gave it more and more rest and as the time went on, about a year from the injury, I could only speak about 20 minutes a day. And it was difficult to avoid the swelling feeling and pain away, so I gave it more and more rest, until it became so bad that last year I couldn’t even laugh and this swelling feeling came back. It has since got minimally better now, but still I can only laugh about 5 times a day or less. My question is, if I start to practice again and ignore the swelling feeling in my throat and the nerve pain, would it injure me even more. That’s what I’m worried about. If someone told me that “100%, you will not injure your voice more when practicing through the pain”, then I would start. The last doctor said exactly that, but I needed to get a second opinion somewhere else, because I’m scared to injure my vocal chords even worse, to the point that I could lose my vocal chords forever. Thank you for reading it the whole way through and I would love to hear your opinion! Thank you in advance! :)
Long time singer here. Much respect for you, Ken! I’m m not sure where the term “diaphragmatic breathing” came from & it has confused singers for hundreds of years chasing a pink elephant. There is only one way for air to enter the lungs. The diaphragm pulls the lungs down & exhalation is simply the pressurized lungs returning to the normal atmospheric pressure on exhalation just like a balloon.The core adds support on the exhale but the diaphragm has absolutely nothing to do with exhalation. It’s like expecting someone to train their tricep muscle to curl the arm. It’s a one way muscle like every muscle in our body. 💯 on feeling like you’re pushing a poop for proper support. It’s simply proper core support that allows babies to cry for hours on end without going hoarse. I’m not picking a fight here, I just here this a lot & it’s not how the diaphragm works. 🙂
Actually, there are two diaphragms; one underneath the rib cage and one on the pelvic floor. If you have a copy of my course and go into the section on diaphragmatic breathing I am very emphatic about how much the core plays a role and is the main engine and driving force for singing powerfully. Too many people for too long think of it as only a diaphragmatic response. The diaphragm, by definition, is the main respiratory response muscle, look it up. However, I disagree with that definition because it's really your entire core that does the work. And not only that, I'm convinced it's probably closer to 80% of singing depending on how heavy and hard you sing.
Do you know if gaining weight can influence this in a bad way?? I got a lot of problems after gaining weight during some health problems. Now I am ok again but still struggling with the weight eventhough I can sing a lot easier than before.
thasnk you so much, 3/4 full strong belly support with soft relaxing chest breath and rib cage expansion support then completely let go and relax is king, mostly breathe from your nose for moisture in your throat, keep throat open and completely relaxed
I'm having traumatic flashbacks of reading Theodore Dimon's "Anatomy of the Voice". Am I the only one who thinks that book was all talk with NO methods for full application?
when I sing like that, it feels like I can't control my voice. I can't sing piano for example. so I try to push less but my throat hurt after 2 or 3 songs. I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't know what

Excess weight can affect your breathing.

Hi Ken! Any chance to get a discount on the item "Voice Repair" at some time of the year? Maybe Black Friday or something...?
Hola ....como podemos traducir el ingles a español?? .
Deberian escribirlo en español..gracias
Just a quick aside, Messi is now playing in Miami :) Maybe you meant "known for playing in Barcelona". Figured you'd want to stay current :)
This is a reissue of a previously released video.
