Thanks😊
thank you so much for your lessons. you are a fantastic instructor. i cant thank you enough for posting your videos...i am SO grateful.
Summary:
2:33 breath out air over 15 seconds
4:05 breath out air over 25 seconds.
Thank you for this!
Breath = noun
Breathe = verb
Ahhahaaha when I arrived at 3 secs I was like
"Omg omg omg I made omg omg!........Oh shoot no >.
My Voice Feels Different
I'm astmatic, but I don't find it that hard after a little practice :)
Got 15 seconds now, going for that 25 :D
best vocal teacher ever seen in youtube.
true that!
This singer/instructor is honestly incredible. In a world of annoying tutorials, this guy is one of the best I've seen. Amazing chops, great on camera, very descriptive, and very natural. I'm learning a lot and I appreciate it.
(take a deep breathe, squeeze your waist, slowly hiss it out for 15 seconds) 2:30, 2:35-2:50, >keep doing it until it becomes easy to do
I ought to say, never thought I could learn to properly breath from the diaphragm in TH-cam, I was losing all hopes and then this guy appears, I can only say thanks ya!
Thanks once again Eric. My breathing techniques was terrible but now, there is so much improvement, which helps me to sing better so God bless. Not manypeople can teach great like you and I much appreciate.
I played brass instruments in band, college band warm ups were the deep 360 inhales with thirty-two count descending to four count "TSS" releases. I have played the trumpet and baritone for eight years now... I never realized the fundamentals I used in band would help me learn to sing; a dream I have had since I was five :D Thank you so much Eric!!!
i didnt hear the instructions carefully and thought you said breathe in while making the ts sound for 15 seconds. i dieded
NiceName Lol
Oh my gosh that was what I was doing all this time. No wonder it was very hard for me with just 15 seconds, i didn't know it was supposed to be breathe out hahahaha
Omg 😂 i dead but i do things like that allll the time
" i dieded" LMAOOOOO
died* not dieded lmao
one method i have found useful for loosening up the back is the exhale as much as possible & then simply let go. your body will fill u with air & my back often expands❤️THANK U ERIC
Just noticed something while doing this. Usually sitting on my chair a lot , my lower back has this tension, but this Hissing exercises somehow makes it feel A LOT better some how. I don't know if this is part of it but it feels absolutely amazing.
You amaze me with every video! The 15 second was easy for me, but I couldn’t do the 25 second at first, rewinded the video, played again and BAM! It’s amazing what intentionality can make you do! I could never thank you enough!
Good to know you're finding your secret talent
It's videos like this, that make even the lay person realize how much work goes into singing. It definitely increases my appreciation of really good singers (and even not-so-really-good but dedicated singers!) Nobody's born with it all.
This guy really knows what he is saying, thanks all!!
Thank you for this. I'm getting back into singing on my worship team and our leader and I both know I needed a little bit more help since I haven't sung in a worship setting for over 15 years when I was in the youth band. I also was diagnosed with COPD due to some bad choices in my youth. The breathing exercises are helping. I've never been shown this and I know it's basic fundamentals. I'm glad the Lord brought me to you.
without you, i wouldn't knowing how to sing 4 real this really help thank you soo much
Say what!? Dat ffxiii melody from Sarah's theme!
My number 1 coach😀😀😀😍 you have helped me sing better and increase my range.Each time I want to work out my voice I start of with this video.cheers and blessed day.
Watched this video last week and been practicing everyday. Couldn't even do 15 seconds that time but now i can do 25 over and over again
Background music (beginning at 0:14) is by Andrae Alexander - "Complicated". You can get it on iTunes now! Dude is beast!
That's a very good thing. We don't want the upper body (shoulders, neck, jaw) to tense, but your back muscles are designed to aid your diaphragm. Allow - DON'T force - yourself to feel that lower back muscular contraction every time, and you will notice your voice getting fuller/freer ;)
The man is the best teacher I have ever heard
It's easy, but when I breath out and make the 'TS' noise I make a whistling noise cause of a tooth that was a bit chipped lol it's very annoying
Your series of Diaphragm breathing video helped me breakthrough! You are a great teacher! Thank you soo much :)
when i did 25 seconds yesterday i was gasping for air 20 seconds into the exercise so after repeating this 10 times i moved onto warmups and came back to it and now i can do 25 seconds almost effortlessly
i only got to 10s on the 2nd one. Gotta keep practicing
It's not necessarily something that you're doing "wrong". Really, it's a matter of practice; your body has to adjust to controlling air this way. Remember to let your throat and jaw relax; try to let the rib cage do most of the work (being aided by the abdomen and back). Ultimately, you want the quality of the stream to be consistent and even. It may take a couple days to master, but it always happens eventually... In fact, by the time you read this, you may already have it down :D
Thank you. These lessons are just what I need. I have been busking, singing acapella now for over a year. It is now time to take my singing to the next level.
Tip for getting to 15 seconds. Keep your tongue placed in front of your bottom teeth. It's really easy to have your tongue placed in between the top and bottom of your teeth with the "TS" sound, but keeping the tongue prevents obstruction and let's the air flow freely.
Thanks for the tip. Gonna use it to practice 25 seconds.
I saved a recording from before, and then now. ive been practicing for a couple of days now and i sound so much better recorded, it sounds more full and i can contain my breath and it does not sound so “breathy” so thank you so much! Its only been a couple days cant wait to hear it later on
Thank you so much Eric, you have helped me so much with singing!!
Wow Eric you're the best your exercises always really do work, I had to practice the 25 secs like about ten times before I got it but I did YAY considering after the first attempt I was sooo out of breath an started to tense my neck muscles :( THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :)
The song is originally "The Promise" on the Final Fantasy 13 soundtrack. He made up the lyrics to the song I'm guessing. It is awesome I wish he would release that video I would really love to hear it. The only reason I signed in is to tell him that he should and that his videos are great help!
I just wanted to tell you that I was doing it great since the part 1 until this one, I'm trying to reach 25 secs yet. I won't give up. Also, I feel my voice and my breathing different. Thank you so much.
This episode makes the other two make even more sense thanks
Excellent teaching. A plus for clarity and efficiency.
ah man thanks! this stuff's so helpful, i can finally sing without having pain in my throat!
Oh yeah!! I have struggled with this in the past (I do think that some of my strain came from being in the military as well)...almost to the point of choking while singing. :-( Thank you so much for these instructional videos.
On the 2nd one I only got to 21 secs but I kept practicing and made it finally
thank you sooo much my vocal trainer couldnt make me understand the 360 breathing thank you sooo much!!!! now i feel my voice free :)
You are a great teacher! Thanks for posting these videos!
I FEEL LIKE YOUR HELPING ME SO MUCH MAN 🤍 MY BRUTHER
Eric I went on pass 30 secs found out something new about my breathing through this exercise, thanks a bunch, keep up the good work.
Wow this was very helpful!!! After some practise I can do the 'TSss' part for a minute without any problems it's so easy now!
Thank You SO MUCH! you are by far the best Singing Teacher I've Seen... Really Thank you for taking your time to teach us!
the first couple of times it was hard to resist the starting seconds but now there easy. thanks eric
thank you man u are a great coach! and i can honestly say iv been singing the wrong way a long time and after singing with these 3 videos i all ready feel an improvement, so much gratitude !
Hola Eric, is nice to see someone that teaches similarly, I love your videos and advice. I teach my students the SSS and time them as well, the difference is that I let them breathe as far as they can and write the secs. down, then the following week we try to surpass that number. I even make 'competitions' with my younger ones. Keep up the good work!
I like this exercise for the challenge. Take those 25 seconds slowly and note the position of the jaw and the shoulders (I guess we get used to doing that from practicing the 30-degree breath). Thank you.
Last of such comments: My mother turned her sleeping infants every hour for lovely, flat, symmetrical ears and taught her daughters to do the same. Excellent.
Thank you for the exercise. What is the maximum number of seconds to aim for? Oh, breathing before trills! Logical. Thank you very much 👍.
Thank you so so so much for these tutorial videos! It really helped improved my voice quality and I don't find myself catching my breath anymore when singing lol. This was so helpful. Really
Hahahahaha the first sentence you said, spot on to what i've been doing for the last year or so!
Omy gosh you helped me so muched! Thanks thanks thanks!! God bless you! A huge hug from Philippines!
Love your videos. They have been very helpful. I have been taking voice since last June and your deep 360 breathe has really helped me. I get it now. Be kind and rewind.
I have been singing like this my whole life. This guy really knows his stuff guys!
I have some recordings up. You can do alot with your diaphragm. lol
I vaporize cannabis often and like singing but I've never had lessons, and I was able to hold it 15 and 25 seconds if not a little more. I was surprised! I guess my lungs have been working out without me noticing, cheers! Thank you for the video, they're really cool and helpful.
you're the real deal, I love you bro.. keep this free and accessible here on youtube, may the Lord bless you tremendously in life
I found this tutorial to be very helpful, nice job!
PS: love the way you sung the intro song, it sounds just like The Sunleth Waterscape from Final Fantasy!
Thank you so so much..A massive thanks!! Ur videos help me ALOT!
Thanks for the great start in singing!!
Oh my, this was effortlessly done...You're just great.. your voice....I did it...thanks Eric for your breathing techniques..
Thank you! 🙏🏽
reminder for me (take a deep breathe, squeeze your waist, slowly hiss it out for 15 seconds) 2:30, 2:35-2:50, >keep doing it until it becomes easy to do
I’m about to try out for American Idol . I think I am a good singer but watching your videos to sing even better
here's the thing 30 day singer ... this man has helped me
So much respect for you.
When you are doing the 360 breath, I understand that you're pushing your stomache out a tad but are you also in a way flexing you stomach muscles? I have a tendency to do so and I'm not sure if I am supposed to.
Eric, thanks so much for these videos. I've been singing a long time but I know it hasn't been "properly". I have an audition coming up for Mrs. Lovett in a couple of days and happened across your site. I hope that I will be able to utilize all these great tips for my audition. Any additional hints regarding my audition appreciated!
man...your videos are sooo informative...im practicing everyday
YES! Useful information finally! First two videos... I've always naturally just done "belly breathing"... didn't quite get why you would be doing shit with your ribs and shoulders to breath.... The whole pressure in your throat vs use your lungs to control air was the missing bit for me, thanks! :)
I love his voice :)
I feel having a background in meditation and running helps a lot with the breathing because I already breath like this. Maybe for people who have constant issues with breathing I suggest slow breathing meditation and cardio a few times a week.
You're so talented and a great teacher! But what does the "mpac" on your pullover stand for? Haha, just curious!
thanks so much for these videos. this breathing instruction has helped a lot!
Hey, Part 4 will be up next week ;)
omg, that piano piece in the first 13 seconds of the video is the Final Fantasy 13 theme! :D great piano piece~ love it ^_^
Thank you Eric for sharing your lovely videos ... God bless you
That literally felt amazing, my throat feels sooooo relaxed right now😁😍
you're probably hissing out too much air, you want it to be enough to be audible, but not loud at all. another thing, remember your shoulders, neck, jaw, tongue, and throat (larynx) are all relaxed, but you should feel your stomach, ribs, and sides, maybe even your back pelvis and chest a little bit, but don't let the air just come out. i know im not eric but i think i watched enough of his videos to help out a little :) go to his website for more free videos too
Oh wow I've been doing it wrong for so long because I would hold the breath in my throat and my tongue would be controlling how much air leaves my body, every time I would finish this exercise my tongue and jaw would feel sooo tense. But then I rewatched this vid and you said that the throut, jaw, etc should be relaxed and then I realized what I was doing wrong. For anyone who is confuse I believe the way you know you should be doing it right is that if you hold your breath you should feel the pressure in the abdomen not the throut and to test if you are correct you should be able to speak while you are holding your breath. If you can't speak then you are holding your breath in your throut. Once you know that your breath is in your abdomen/diaphragm area and you do your hiss, the amount of air escaping shouldn't be controlled by the tongue, if anything your mouth area should be relaxed except for when the tongue is slightly touching the roof of your mouth to make the hissing noise. Your abdomen on the other hand should not be locked, as you let the air escape you should feel and see you abdomen slowly retract back in. Your abdomen muscles are the ones controlling how much air is let out. This excersise strengths your abdomen muscles to be able to hold themselves up and not collapse on the air so that doesn't escape. But always remember NEVER lock your abdomen because that will lock the rest of your body including your throat. Your abdomen should be moving (retracting as the air is released). Sometimes it might feel like your abdomen is locked but in reality it's just the pressure on your abs. Closely analyse how your body works and make sure you dont feel pain (that is not a good sign if you do) I hope this helped anyone who was confused, and if I'm wrong about anything feel free to correct me, these are just my observations after experimenting with this excersise. Good luck everyone.
If my middle school flute teacher hadn't had me practice increasing my exhale time this would've slaked me! XD I'm amazed at how much that still impacts me, 25 was easy! :O
it really works!! amazing!
Thx for the info Eric, this maybe sound strange but I notice that I use the same breathing when I'm doing certain sport exercises from when I was a little boy... it extends my focus and it makes it easier to hold on to that exercise
Thanks man you give me something to follow on these days of quarantine :) you're good!
Fantastic videos and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
it really works!! amazing!
Thanks very much now i can make ts for 25 sec and i will still train my breath!!!
Thank You, good advice and its fun!
it took me three times, but I am happy to practice
you're a great teacher! 4 real... appreciate u!
Omg I can’t do this but I am going to try and try again
i believe after training on the 360 breath , made you do the hiss easier. That what happened to me. It works on me well
Love the videos, the song he sings at the start sounds like the song from Final Fantasy XIII-2
You are a great teacher!!!!
Great teacher
again, thank you so much for your videos!
until 2.56min on this video. really good lessons
