I'm definitely going to try singing softly for a while. Trying to sing with more power doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere.
Update? Did it work?
It's been a year. So, how did it go?
soooooooo
2 yrs now, any updates
I'm curious too how did it go?
I needed this so bad .... i am 19 and i am trying to learn how to sing ...and your experience means alot to me... thanks men keep it up!! Greetings from Bolivia :D
Niko Velasquez I'm right with you. 19 here too. Lol
Niko Velasquez I’m 19 as well I want to sing good so badly
I am 16 trying learn to sing with recording daily but still I don't trust my ear idk it sound bad or good, btw I have no friend but busy mom who only loves me..
Im 20 now so 19 last year when u commented haha
Did you learned guys?
I started singing when i was 14. I’m 19 now and I’ve improved a lot over the years. Since then I’ve learned how to take better care of my voice, singing clearly, learning a little about my range on my own, thorough warm ups. Etc. I improved by practicing. I’ve never lost my voice from singing but I have had constriction of my vocal cords from oversinging. I started giving my voice more rest and it has done me wonders. I still want to get a voice coach to perfect my voice and learn how to use the best and correct technique.
Can you please tell me how to learn singing by myself with steps plzz
@@fathimasanaa6723 find good videos and a good teacher like him, make playlists and do warm up daily, it will take time but only 1-2 months for results
Can you reclmmend any videos? Esp for beginners?
" I wanted ugly sounds " Lmao just listen to me trying to sing
I also started singing not so long ago. Fell in love with it when I was a kid but only started at the age of 24. Upgraded a bit and figured that it`s possible to learn anything if you have enough desire and tenacity
I really can't sing but I wanna.
You can, I believe in you
Anyone can sing. It's a skill, not an inborn talent. Just find a good teacher 💝
Me too
Me too lol
Its been 84 years...
LOL
Can you do video on your skin routine ?
10 years and still looking GREAT!
Thanks this was great!
1. Sing softly;pianissimo (promotes flexibility, balance and agility)
2. Practice every day; do exercises as they work
You're right, singing pianissimo requires a lot more breath control than belting out into a fortissimo range. I sing in the choir at my church (also a baptist church, one of those quaint, white New England buildings that belongs on a postcard, especially now that all the fall leaves are showing), and even though there are half or less as many men as there are women, some of them used to be football players or construction workers and they can be really loud, to the point where they overpower us.
I want all the details Eric 😊. Idc how long the story is. I'mma listen to the whole entire thing from beginning to end. Also we need more tales from the industry. You said you were gonna sing Let Me Be The One in the intro of your next vid. Imma still be waiting for that too 😊.
BoyWithAGlassheart me too😄
Bro it’s been so long !! Welcome back lol
When I can sing I swear I'm not talking anymore
I need those exercises
Alexander Ljungqvist Hey Alexander! The exercises are actually in our Phase 1 program 🙌🏽 (link is in the description box)
Alexander Ljungqvist yes plzz share those tapes
I appreciate this story so much. As someone who has a weighted voice, singing softer really helps. It is better to start softer then add when necessary than to go full force and pull back. Thank you Eric
You are continuously one of my biggest inspirations! Looking forward to the rest of this series 👌 Still trying to pluck up the courage to book a vocal lesson with you 😂
When I was a pre-teen i grew up listening to Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, George Michael. I used to practice to them
What if you sound good to yourself but when you record yourself you sound like trash?
Andy Ramirez yea that happen to me sometimes
We call that a sensory illusion. Often, when a singer is producing their tone with a great deal of muscular constriction in the upper body, sound is trapped within their body creating a richer tone that only the singer can hear. However, what comes out to listeners (or a recording device) is a fraction of your true resonance. Very simply, we've found that the voice you hear will match the voice others hear as you start releasing your throat, tongue, and jaw muscles to allow your voice to be liberated. So don't get frustrated. The voice you hear is real. The task now is simply to grant it freedom enough to be heard by others.
wow, thanks. This gives me hope:D
Frfr thats me right there
EricArceneaux whhhhat 😂
I actually had very similar idea of singing! I didn't want the vocal lessons not because I thought it is only for classical singers. I was just afraid that a teacher will take away my individuality in singing in order to make me sing what is said is the right way to sing. So instead of taking lessons I decided I want to record my own songs and develop a way of singing that would be pleasant to me. As I later found out, the more effort I put to my own way of singing the less people were liking it - I've heard that I have a good voice when I was singing effortless, and the trap was that I didn't like how I sound effortless. However I started getting vocal lessons since half a year and the improvement is unbelievable! I am so glad I've changed my mind!
Omg... This was my life right here... Sang my voice away, literally.. and pushed and pushed till I completely lost my range and I developed nodules. I went to an ENT and he told me I had to stop singing and talking for 2-3 months or have surgery. I have kids so the no talking part was near impossible. But I came off of the choir and praise team that I sang on. Then started to research ways to get rid of the nodules without surgery. Apple cider vinegar helped to bring down the swelling (drank a tblsp everyday) and gargling with coconut oil/ oil pulling really helped. When I could actually sing without major pain I started doing vocal exercises and my range came back and got better. A friend of mine had given me one of your CD's yeeeeeears ago @Eric Arceneaux before I developed nodules and like you I thought it was unnecessary and like you I had to learn the hard way.😑 To be honest vocal exercises are not my favorite thing to do, so I have to force myself to do them some days, but they really really do work. They sound crazy when I'm doing them and my kids mock me, lol, but they are definitely necessary!!! I have a TH-cam playlist of vocal exercises and warmups that I do and I have a couple of CDs. Keep doing what you're doing sir. Thank you.
I’ve always heard a voice in my head that I can’t hear when I sing out loud. Sometimes I’m ok and others I feel like sound off key all the time. I’m now sitting down and trying to learn how to access that inner voice. I’m really good at impersonating different ranges talking but not singing.
It's been so long !!! Welcome back coach 💙 !
Quianna K loll
You have such beautiful skin!
Thank you! 😅♥️
YESSS!!
He’s back!!!
You more doing amazing work thanks so much!
I started with your free courses and it was a journey learning how to sing. Airflow and support where king in my transformation. I couldn't sing on pitch and I pushed a lot. I found out that pitch was natural and all you had to do was control the airflow. It's a lot of unwiring after that and I have to constantly focus where my sound comes from. A good exercise that helps me is to put my fingers on the bottom of my lips and do the OO vowel. Power is really in pianissimo. It's conscious control of your airflow.
When you said you grew up in a church and have those issues with hoarseness I totally related, I have the same exact problem after services. And thennn you said you were from New Orleans!! REPRESENT! Thanks for posting these videos for people who wanna learn like me!
He's alive people! He's alive!
Yes, he is. :)

Hearing your story has motivated me more than just watching a vocal warm up video on it's own. Part of me has been resisting practice / exercises, and recognising the similarity to you makes me feel inspired that if I put in the effort to practice daily that I really could improve my voice
Thank you for sharing your story :)
I am so grateful i know about this now. Almost same story and trying hard. Now woth this practices and advices i believe and have HOPE my truly voice will come out. Can't wait to sing my heart out soon!! Greetings from Springfield, Massachusetts!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❄🌎
Nice to see you here in TH-cam again
I need you as my teacher seriously!!!!
Eric, i first started at this church and joined the choir. Of course, i am much older joining this choir after so many years being in any choir. My first day of the praise team and i ended up horse afterwards...knew this wasn't good. After hearing your story in the church is a true wake up call to my experience. So i will be speaking with my church director of working on vocal training to find my vocal range. Thanks so much Eric, and truly touch on the realities of vocalization which is so important.
As always, very inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I can contend to ur message here. I myself am obsessed with daily vocalization to strengthen tone and agility. Speaking of agility, part of my daily vocalization routine include ur fast riff and runs exercises "e to ah" on the do to sol scale. Love it and it has helped my flexibility work much! Ur the man bro
Eric!! Double triple super like!!! I can totale relate to your Story: when I was a kid, the director of our gospel choir (who happened to be also my piano teacher, and yes, goddamn, he nailed that Job and taught me how to play piano, he is the god of Piano, so I trusted him with the singing as well), well this man constantly asked me to push harder with my voice. And yes, it gave me self confidence as a Young girl to be able to sing a solo against a 40 people choir WITHOUT a microphone- and the power in my voice is something that I enjoy from Time to time- but I just realized that this was damaging my vocal chords when I wasnt able to speak for one week after each concert. I simply wasnt educated to prepare and Build my Voice properly..... singing along with your videos has really helped me, and this video is a new motivation to start exercising again... so: thank you from Germany!!!
O MY GOD! HE'S ALIVEEEEEEE
Love your videos
Hi Eric, I just wanted to say you are amazing and I appreciate all the videos you have posted. There are a lot of fakes/people out there to just get your money but you’re a real one, and you seem to actually care and be passionate about teaching people to sing. Thank you for all your advice and help!
YOURE BACK
It's been forever !! OMG Welcome back!! Can't wait to learn from you again !!!
Welcome back, Eric! Greaaaaat to have you back!
It's good to see you back Eric! Been subbed for years
This is what ive been looking for on TH-cam forever! You definitely nailed it for me! Thank you,thank you, and thank you!! Please keep doing videos like this!
I really like how hard you work on . to teach this to us!! I like your kindness
it's crazy to hear u talk about ur story. i was the same age, 14 when i really knew i wanted to sing in spite of my voice Lol and it was your videos 10-11yrs ago that started me on the right track. now im in a couple bands n do some shows here n there, and it all started with your vids. im glad i came back to the channel to see you're still out here inspiring all the people that you do
Thank you
I’m a broke college student, and decided that the best present I could give my girlfriend is to spend money on the next semester. But then I saw your vocal warm up videos and realized that my voice is free. Thank you so much for helping me give my gift to others! Also, I’m a personal trainer, and since most people work a desk job, drive a car, and sit down on their couch, they don’t know how to breathe. I’ve educated myself on this topic before, but watching your videos gave me a deeper insight into internal cueing and external verification. Maybe someday I’ll teach someone how to breathe by learning how to vocalize! So double, triple thanks.
I'm glad you're back. You've helped me a lot in improving my vocal technique. I'm not "amazing"; I still have trouble in some areas, but you have helped me a lot.
I go through spells where I don't do vocal warm ups or putting the exercises into practice, and I kinda chastise myself about it. But when I do them, my voice is more agile and free. And I can do more things easier. So I really appreciate your help and videos. As I am currently not able to afford voice classes, I just use the videos I find on TH-cam.
I need that cassette lol
I have been waiting you again! Please do this often, please!
You help a lot of people
I absolutely LOVE to sing. I struggle sometimes. I'm not the worst that anyone has heard but I'm not the best either. lol. I refused vocal training as well but now I'm beginning to regret it. I was discouraged because I felt that at 34 years of age, I'm getting too old for them. Then, magic happened and I ran across this video. I feel inspired to begin training. I'm not looking to become rich from singing but only to get better vocally. Thank you so much for this video.
i love how he put this with such an honesty.and yaaay for brin mcknight mentioned here he is so dang legendary
Yay you finally made another video...
Nice to see a new video from you !!!! Of all the singin "teachers" here you are the best. Most of the things i've learned in the past year i picked up from you !! there are lots of people who are talking bout singin and give exercises but the things you show really pushed me forward !!!
THANKS
cheers from austria
Welcome back Eric! I've missed your videos! This video was so helpful!
so happy you are back bro, have been waiting for very long. hope you will keep sharing your precious tips. good luck bro
HERE YOU ARE!!! Thank you for your vids bro, we love you
Ugh, I want singing lessons. I wish I had taken them more seriously when I was younger and had a scholarship to a vocal school. Hindsight 20/20
Love it ! Your my favorite to learn from so far. I’ve always wanted to sing. Im thankful for you!
I'm too broke to afford a vocal Coach
how long do you do a daily vocal practice for? and is it just once a day?
lozersayswhat I have the same question?
also wondering!
As per his previous videos, he's doing it everyday. He has a videos for vocalization and warms ups and how many times you should repeat. :)
I practice everyday. Maybe 10 minutes and then a rest, 20 minutes and a rest. I think I practice a total of 2 hours a day. Never make your voice get tired, give yourself a break and then keep practicing. If you get sick then try not to force your voice, and if you can't even practice because you're disfonic of something do some diaphragmatic exercises. Have a good one!
Guys, a beneficial warm up can be as short as fifteen minutes. It's not how long you go for, it's what you do in the time.
Your voice is made up of muscles, muscles have memory, and will learn whatever you show them whether consciously or not.
Your goal, whenever you vocalize, is to show your voice the correct muscular coordination to accomplish this sound that you want.
OMG... glad I ran across this.. I also sing and a Teacher and I also develop noggin on my vocal cords and been watching different videos on voice therapy I haven't heard my real voice in 10 months but its getting better
Can you make a video of those lessons you learned? Or at least say what they are. I can't find my head voice either and I've been trying to for months
Austin Bailey All the exercises I mention in this video are actually in my Phase 1 program 😁. Check it out www.aapproach.com/products.html
fr me too
Very good points thank you.
I can sing but i need vocal training to help be better. gonna watch your videos hopefully it helps.
poisonkiss201 how good are you now?
Oh snap, Eric you back! Good timing too because I need my singing lessons!
Hey Eric I just did my first summer of gigging (5-6 days a week) and am still dealing with a tad discomfort in my cords, but have now been using your vocal warm up videos daily and they’ve been helping a ton! I just wanted to say thank you and glad to see a new upload :) It would be a dream of mine to have an in person lesson session with you some day!
where's that cassette bruv
Eric, must say that this video gave me so much insight, I want to learn how to sing more than ever at this point in my life, but I need soooo much guidance!!! You are the best ! But definitely I need to book singing sessions with you
I'm 14 and starting to sing, I'm following all your lessons everyday. I really hope I can reach my dreams. Please please wish me luck 💕
Love this series, more anecdotes about your epiphanies in lessons!
Hi Eric, thank you so much for posting these videos. I remember you from New Orleans from the Washington Family Church. I’m a few years ahead of you with Michael S. Good to see your doing this. I needed this lesson. My voice has not been the same for a while but what you shared about pulling back makes sense. Thanks again. May God bless your businesses in Jesus name.
Oh wow this is SO interesting to me! About you, your story, and "voice science" I can't wait til the next vid. I brought both of your programs a while ago but I have to admit right now so I'm not as consistent as I should be. I need to get it together but so far I have seen a difference in my voice tho slowly but surely :) I hope one day when I finally gain enough confidence in my voice I get to meet you and the vocal coaches to show y'all how good your exercises worked for me!
Damn he got buffer ! ! !
I love this video! This is so honest and raw, I feel so much of this! Amazing! - Thank you for posting this!
I’m struggling so much right now and you just lighted me up 🙌🏼
Waiting for your lessons for a long time thanks and
Welcome back
you are cool and that's one reason we love your videos
Hi Eric. Can't wait for How I Learned to Sing - Episode 2
I love that you have the equal sign in the background! :)
I'm already liking this series!
This is so inspirational.... Blessings sir
So love your music and your voice and your guidance
your speaking timbre melts me down aaaaaaaaaa
Is it possible to have falsetto but not head voice? I think I’m constantly in falsetto but I can’t find my head voice. I can’t connect the two ranges no matter how hard I try even if I try lip trills and such
Yes, issues with pressing too hard and blowing the folds apart... breath management and compression can be the difference between being able to find head voice vs falsetto. Also making sure the vowels are adjusted in a way that makes the head voice stay compressed easier :)
It's a blessing to listen to you bro
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I enjoy all your videos and will definitely take practicing a lot more serious.:)
You’re the best Eric! Love you
It's sad to say that some of this is so relatable 🙃😂
Anyone can sing but not everyone has a natural amazing singing voice like yours
Inspiring and exiting . Thank you 🙏🏽 I appreciate you .
Me too i was like him too
You inspired me to sing
Love your video’s already!! Please keep on making these video’s 🔥🔥
This has blessed my entire life!!! Thank you!
ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!! Great information ~ Looking forward to the next one
I don't take any lessons i just hear the voice of singers and i try to sing like them. 1 year back i didn't even know that I am singing falsetto, chest voice etc. Coz i would just listen to them and try to sing like whatever i find was beautiful. I don't even know that how i am able to sing falsetto and doing belts etc. Btw i am 13 years old
