i just wanna thank you so much for your effort and amazing videos.. it really helped me achieve higher notes!! i have always struggled with notes above G#4 but after watching your videos I can hit a B4 mixed!!! I still need tons of practices but really just wanna take this moment to thank you for what you have done!! Love from Malaysia :))
Really? I need to try that! When I was on our worship team at church, I was also church pianist, so I was always singing while seated at the piano or my keyboard. Because of the proper posture that was engrained in me from 11 years of classical piano lessons, it never occurred to me to bend down or anything. That would have moved me away from my mic anyway, I guess.
Omgggg the HAND thing literally worked! 😭😭😭 (picked it cause it’s the most subtle 😅) but wow I am not a singer and was stressing about a high part in a song I will be singing tmrrw 😅 THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing this voice techniques sometimes I sing in the church but afraid of high notes. Your teaching is very helpful to those who eager to enhance rheir voice like me😊
Hola, me encanta tú contenido!!! Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con nosotros. Tengo una petición.🙏 Entiendo poco el Inglés, sin embargo veo tus vídeos pero no los aprovecho al máximo justamente porque no entiendo totalmente. Me encantaría que pudieras activar subtítulos en español. Sé que no soy la única hispana que ama tus videos😊🤗🙏
Not that we're in church right now, but with my teeny tiny congregation, I would pick songs, as I've been learning how to do, but there is honestly no time for any warm up or practicing from the time I would get to church, go right into Sunday school with just me and the Sunday school teacher, then a bathroom break, then right into announcements and then worship. We never had time for mid-week rehearsal or any advance preparation, for that matter, so between me and the pastor working his other job full-time, yeah....we are so unprepared and everything is thrown together on Sunday morning. I mean, forget Sunday morning preparation even here at home. Getting up in the morning is rushed and trying to wake up and get ready, everything else that seems to take up time...I have no time or privacy for early warmups. My husband despises church or singing in general... so if I'm gonna practice, he better not have to hear anything to do with it. It's really hard to have proper preparedness in our situation... Which makes me wonder WHY God called me to serve as worship leader. Lol but thank you for this. This trick may actually help me in my circumstances especially! I'll certainly try it if my husband ever leaves the house. Lol he's laid off ATM and I can't remember the last time I was alone long enough to relax and practice a song.
Hey Amanda, sorry things have been so challenging! I would encourage you to ask the Lord for creative solutions and wisdom so that you can incorporate a warmup into your routine. It is absolutely essential if you want to protect your voice from damage in the long run! When you go to church, do you drive alone? Can you leave a few minutes early to do a warmup in the car?
No, my pastor and his wife always pick us up. I don't drive. If there was a private place in the Church, that would help. But we are so tiny and such a small building that you could probably hear everything. But then, even if I did find a way, we'd have a whole other hour of Sunday school to get through before worship began, so I would be going straight into singing without a soon enough warmup to get me started. Something early on would be more helpful than nothing at all, but atm, this is what it is.
Thank you for the awesome tips! Does tilting your head back slightly help with reaching higher notes? I tried it this Sunday for worship, and I feel like it worked because I usually sing straight alto and high tenor notes.
Hey there! I’ve been following you for a while and I’ve learned and grown so much in the past year! I still have a difficult time with bridges and up choruses. I get in my head and can’t seem to sing with power. I’m going to try these tips this week! I was wondering if you had any advice in regards to fear and anxiety when leading worship?
Hey! Glad you're enjoying the videos! Growing in our vocal skill is a big confidence builder-which helps reduce anxiety! And also prayer-LOTS of it! We have authority over it in Jesus name!
I sing and play acoustic guitar. I was wondering if you had any ideas for this kind of situation or is it good to practice these techniques as an exercise, even if I can’t use them during a worship set?
Thank you for the tricks! One question though: what exactly in our body are we actually trying to push down? Is it the diaphragm? Is it something else? I've never been able to figure out...
In this case (as per what I'm sharing in the video), we're mainly aiming to keep the larynx/vocal muscles in a neutral/lowered/stable position, so that the voice doesn't get wobbly and unstable! The diaphragm is certainly in the mix as well, though, of things we are aiming to stabilize!
It’s crazy how so much is in our head! It’s mental man!
Totally!!

Wow, incredible! So glad to hear it!
Whenever I am about to sing a high note I bend my knees (dip down slightly) and it works like a charm!
Totally!

Me too! Works really well

My husband and I do the workout while we are getting dressed for church. It's a part of our routine most weekdays too. We love this!!!
I have the exact same problem.

Generally no, that can often cause extra tension-the best thing is to keep the neck neutral as we sing!

Rachael Cooper I have been dealing with the burden of fear and anxiety while leading. Praying for you.

Definitely great to use these techniques, even if you won't necessarily use them in a worship set!
Thank you 😊
So for instrumentalist would we just bend down? Because we have no free hands 😅
Haha!

@@worshipvocalist Thank you for your answer! 😊
How to sing in chesty mix?
I teach this in my courses at www.worshipvocalist.com!
Really? I can't see me doing any of those techniques while standing with my choir mates in front of the congregation. Just sayin.
I hear ya! They are helpful as practice techniques behind the scenes!
