Have you been practising? (no you will not be scolded)
Yes!! Every day in the shower...I may say my neighbors are upset lol
I'm not a singer, but I enjoy your Masterclass anyway! 👍❤
Hey Floor if you are coming to kuopio for a gig could I have one singing lesson from you. I have a training place in the center of Kuopio 200m from market place. Need to get motivated and start singing again.
Thankyou for all, you are the best singer I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I learned how my stomach reacts in singing by using a blues harp it seems to have a perfect air pressure for me.
Nightwish is gona have amazing sounding crowds in the future
The next Nightwish Generation sings better then the Band hihi🤣🥰
OhhhhhhhhHHH ...YEAHHH...
oh yeah... the Nightwish Choir or so
@@ralfmeyer9086 that is always why we are here.
When we all sing like Floor, So Hyang, Jane Zhang, Simon Simons, Maria Brink, Aurora, Dimash, Elize Ryd, Sharon den Adel, Henk Poort, Morrisette Amon, Dave Hadfield .. how could we fight? We would all be on each other's permanent playlists.
@@crhu319 yeah, but, thanks for the Evolution..only a few people can do it..Floors MasterClass can be an Insperation for young people..The most are so boring from her Music Teacher at School(me too).
This is not a masterclass only, It's a privilege to learn directly from the legend itself.
YES, this is awesome. Thats wy, she is the QUEEN 🥰
Yes, for sure
Agree
Agree with you
Exactly
Floor: *aaaAAAaaaAAAaaaaAAAA*
Me: *heart eyes*
Hello!
I'm a voice teacher. I studied five years at the academy of music to become one, and I have been teaching as my full time job for 12 years.
Most of the time when "voice teachers" do masterclasses online they explain poorly, inaccurate or generalize a lot.
As a masterclass on singing this is VERY good and well explained. And I totally agree, when you want to get further, find yourself a teacher, IRL or online. And make sure to find a well educated teacher, preferably with a degree and one with a couple of years experience, and one who is familiar with the musical style you are interested in.
Remember, a good singer isn't always a good teacher. It might be true in the case of Floor, but it's not true with everyone else. Internet is flooded with "voice teachers" who doesn't really know their trade. Choose carefully.
Once again, Floors videos are VERY good, she knows her shit. She's not only a fabulous singer, she is also a good teacher.
this woman is a gift to humanity. can't believe she single-handedly saved (my) 2020.
That she is 💯🎶💯
She has saved my 2020 as well!
Same here bud, this woman is something truly special.
Absolutely loving these biweekly master classes, the cover songs and of course all the other content. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and techniques with us Floor.
Glad you like them!
Im sharing it daily - my friends list has few fools so many will check this out I hope. Do same and put links to it in the reaction video channels whenever breath control comes up.
At the end of the next tour's concerts the crowd has to do an exam for each performed song 🙃
Floor replied to her...
Today, in the year of our Lord, 2020
Marie-Therise Ward was called from the cares of the world...
She stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The comment Floor wrote had given her a heart attack
She was found rigid and dead
With a smile on her face, her phone, and an overexcited reply text.
@@Grizzlox lol savage 😅
The diversity of this channel has been impressive as hell. There's been everything from live streams to Q&As, to stories about Floor's life, to interviews with other artists, to cover videos, to vocal masterclasses, etc. I've always thought that Floor was a multi-tasker anyway because someone on her level kind of can't "not" be that way, but she's been really pulling out all the stops here. You're a treasure to the metal world, ma'am. Thank you for doing this.
Yeahh, thanks Floor ❣️
Well said! I agree 100%. She is soooooooo special!
Very well said and it's very interesting to get to see so many different sides and aspects to her
Wait for cooking with Floor
True, definitely one of the coolest channels ever!
Of course we’ve already watched episode 1. And we will watch every episode you’ll upload! 😍
nice to see you Susanne and Thomas here to learn from The Queen. Greets Paddy
cool 🐱👤🎶👌
You guys are great! I love “Don’t Lie to Me”!
Oh hey! Fancy seeing you here!
I have nothing to do with singing. But when I see Floor, I click.
Ya I am not gonna sing ever...but again I watched the whole 26 minutes of it.
I have something with singing... or rather, it has something with me. An intense aversion, apparently...
"Boring? Yes. necessary." I need to clip this and put it on repeat when doing scales on my bass.
Floor: My teaching techniques are a little out of date
The World: **listens to Floor sing**
Also The World: If your techniques work so well, they ARE NOT out of date. More please!
I never cease to marvel at your generosity. So many interesting, amusing and informative content for your fans. This deserves all praise and respect for you. Thank you so much, Floor!
Birthday masterclass!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you very much Floor 🙂
I’ve been a voice specialist for what seems like forever, but over the past ten years or so, I haven’t done a lot of singing myself. I found that even though I would teach the basics and help others improve, my own singing would tire me out easily and I’d find myself hoarse and my throat sore, even though I was singing in small spaces when I used to sing in large venues. Maybe I had gotten lazy, I don’t know, but a couple hours of using the information Floor so graciously shared with us and I was singing with more range and power than I had in years and for over an hour without getting hoarse. I was left with greater resonance rather than rasp. Thank you so much Floor! I have long felt gratitude and respect for your talent and the catharsis you’ve helped me find through your performances, but now I must thank you for helping me remember my own talent as well. A thousand thank you’s are not enough, I await your next lesson with bated, though muscularly supported and centered breath, Thank you, Floor, for all that you are.
Floor: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
My baby: AAAAAAAAAAAA
Learning from the master already!
Me: “OMG... what would Floor think if she saw all of us trying to do the exercises while looking at the video and a mirror? 🤔
Floor: “You’ll look just as smart as I did in front of the camera!”
Me: No Floor! I’ll never look as smart as you ever!!! This woman is a psychic!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Daughter: Mom... who you are talking to??? 😳
Great singer, great teacher, great person. Delightful!
I'm a singer teacher and still I learned a lot from you even in your basics lessons. You are awesome!!!!
A vocal lesson from metal-goddess? I should watch this. Devin, Bjorn Speed and Floor - my favorite metal vocalists. Great teacher, beautiful woman, killer singer.
The Nightwish Army getting singing Master Classes by Floor Jansen! Oh man, the concerts are gonna be way more epic!
Haha! Now I can say that my personal singing teacher is Floor Jansen. How about that? 😊👌
Now just go to Star Talk and Neil DeGrasse Tyson to have also an personal astrophysicist and you're all good to go
@@ilarious5729 to go to Esson baari.
@@pekkakarppinen1608 ...perkele, I sure as hell didn't need that reminder. It's now stuck in my head and the rest of the night seems miserable. xD
@@ilarious5729😜😅
Right? haha
Floor: Have you been training?
Me: Si (Voice over: No :P )
🤣
😅🤣
🤣😅
Hahaha
You answered her in spanish, cool!
Floor, thank you. This is very valuable. I'm a closet singer and these lessons may just give me the confidence to let others hear me sing. Thank you Floor. 🤘❤
You got this!
Wirh such encouragement yyiu just have to give it your all. We're rooting for you.
Good luck!
And when you cross this line you gonna just love to have others hearing you! Record yourself singing and hear the records monthly, you will always figure out how much you improved in just 1 mounth and this really makes things better
We have the most beautiful, talented and funny teacher of the planet!!! Thanks Floor!!! 😂🤘❤️
Pilates forced me to breath towards my back and less with the diaphragm and it has worked much better for me. By the end of this video I was feeling very relaxed. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to elaborate as much as you did. It was a pleasure listening. Looking forward to your next Masterclass! Fijn weekend, Floor! ❤️
Fijn weekend!
@@FloorJansenOfficial *glimlach.
I snorted wine out my nose when she was explaining which parts don't help support your singing and she said 'hole up your ass - no' :-) Floor, thank you so much for the gift of your knowledge and training. As a yogi, yoga teacher and breathwork geek I am so glad to see you bringing attention to all those other breathing areas of the body apart from the upper lungs. More than one vocal coach reacting to NW vids has noticed that your shoulders don't lift on the inhale. Thanks in part to years of practice long before I kew what I was doing, and my training in yoga as a yoga teaher I pretty much have the breathing part down - I can basically mirror the breathing in songs like Wachen GSL, which I know best - now to work on my *drowning tone-deaf crow* vocals ;-) Hari Om
who else was watching just hoping to hear some singing?😉
She did
Ive no idea how to thank you Enough , Ive been suffering from Acid Reflux for two years now which has almost destroyed my singing abilities and unintentionally pushed me to sing through it which has build a very bad habit of breathing incorrectly .
Now thanks to you I know where to go from here to correct my Breathing/Singing techniques
Thank you
Singing with acid reflux is very hard. My ear, nose, and throat doctor helped me by giving me prescription grade omeprazole. I took that for a year, and it really helped! Don’t be afraid to reach out to a doctor!
@@AbigailBrickler yes I was on Omeprazole for a year , but sadly it causes other problems so Ive stopped and im managing it through diet , stay safe my friend
OMG this was sooo good! Thank you so much Floor! You're so humble and sweet! I've really enjoyed it. THANK YOU FLOOR!
You're so welcome!
@@FloorJansenOfficial THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ME!!! YOU MADE MY DAY!!!! i love you!!!
wow .... super informative and easy to understand!!!!!! i especially like the fact you pointed out the muscles and the amount of the air needed in high and low notes are different! that really makes everything sense and connected! thank you so much! :D
Glad it was helpful!
This is a helpful vocal lesson. Actually I took down notes then I'll do it later in front of the mirror before I go to sleep. Thank you Floor. Your fan from the Philippines.
Smart and good that you took notes! Good luck!
Pre! Floor replied to you!
Took notes as well, it's much more than I can remember ad hoc.
Wow Pinoy fans here!
@No One wow that's awesome to hear! Have a nice day
20 years ago I broke my sternum which made normal breathing very painful, I was fortunate that I had learned to breath to sing so I could breath more from my diaphram and belly, it still hurt but avoided very shallow breathing which would lead to far worse health issues, watching your masterclass makes far more sense than when I was training 40 plus years ago, thank you
I'm a vocal coach and I'm very happy because I use the same exercises of Floor!!! This is incredible!! I tell to my students the same things with the same recomendation! Thank you Floor for this masterclass videos! 😉
Funny, listening to Floor talk about the right singing position (shoulders, back, belly) reminded me of what my horseback riding teacher used to tell me about the right riding position! 🐎🐴 Thank you Floor 👍😊
It is so good to have someone you admire teaching you what to do like a regular person. It shows what kind of person you are, even though you are a world class singer. I love singing, I watched tons of tutorials on TH-cam, and I always focus on the breathing. In the beginning of the song. Somewhere in the middle, everything goes away and I just sing with the throat or something, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but at the end of 2 songs I have no voice. I will try to relax the body next time. I always sing flexing the abs to feel the muscles, maybe that's wrong. Thanks for the tips boss!
Hey Floor, mocht je ooit stoppen met zingen (ik hoop nooit) kun je nog altijd een carrière als presentatrice beginnen. Echt super professioneel zoals je dit doet. Keep up the good work!
If i still can't sing after this, its because i was distracted by Floor's magnificent arms 💪😍🎶
Floor: "There are muscles everywhere."
Me: "No."
I don't really care about singing myself, (not even karaoke) but it is great to learn new things no matter what. And who would be a better teacher! Thank you!
Wow !!! I am very impressed with the quality of your teaching. Anyone wishing to learn the basics and singing techniques will be happy. I'm a guitarist and I don't sing, but if I wanted to learn to sing, I would choose you as my teacher. You give off superb positive energy. Thank you for what you do for the community !!! You're a beautiful person 💖
Thank you for not flooding this with commercials ❤
Floor: Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Me in the bedroom: ffffffffffffffffffffff
The wife comes in: what the hell are you doing?????
It's very an interesting Master Class and video thank you so much for your help and share all you know with us😄🙏❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@FloorJansenOfficial Yes of course always thank you😄🙏
God! You are so humble despite being one of the best singers in the world! I love you!
The fact that I'm learning stuff about singing from Floor Jansen herself is the strangest thing I've experienced this year.
I'll never be a singer. But it's amazing to watch such kindness from someone!
I can't sing to save my life, but this was incredibly interesting!
You're a fantastic teacher, Floor, so it is always a pleasure to watch your videos ❤️
I'm also a teacher and you represent all I want to be for my students: fun, interesting, practical and confident. You sure know how to make people feel comfortable and ready to try new things.
You were already my favorite singer, but now you're also my teaching inspiration 🥺❤️
Love You!! ❤️
I'm not a singer but I'm pretty sure practicing this exercises help to keep a better lungs health and a better muscle support to help my back pains. And if I'm wrong...it was super fun and interesting to watch hahaha Thanks a lot Floor! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
OMG! ❤️Before this Master clases I'd see all the fans singing as an amazing chorus at the next concerts🤯 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Floooor I was doing that Fffff in the mirror and my reflection started laughing... I think I'm doing it wrong
😂😂😂😂
You better call a priest that mirror's prolly possessed 😄
🤣🤣🤣
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff*ck
@@FloorJansenOfficial 😀😆😆😆
I believe that those breathing techniques are also very helpful for people with panic attacks and people who have a lot of tension in their neck or back. Keep you’re breathing low. Make you’re exhale longer then the inhale. Keep your shoulders low and your back straight, and try to relax your jaw. Very difficult when stressed out and specially during a panic attack but also really helpful.
I wish my English was a little bit better so I could really be specific.
I've always wanted to sing but my parents couldn't afford it when I was little. Now I've been going to singing lessons for over three months and I am so proud that I could do mostly all of the exercises that you showed in the video 😝. Guys, it's never too late to start doing what you've always wanted. I can even say that it's better when you're older because you have better understanding and consistence because of the desire that has accumulated throughout the years. So get up and START NOW!!!
❤️❤️❤️ Floor
Hmmm... this isn't boring... This is fun! I play the trombone (amateur) and "signed up" to this class because I hope to learn more about breathing support. Now I have been doing FFFF's and Aaaaaah's and it feels strangely at home actually! What if I can gain some confidence to open my mouth and make some noices without a mouthpiece in front of it too?! -We'll see... Anyway, to have the opportunity to learn from you, Floor... That is a pleasure. Thank you!
I don’t sing; can’t sing. But I watched this whole video. I so admire Floor. Her good and positive spirit shines in everything I see her do. And I love seeing how she is using the time off from touring to share of herself, including the help to those that *can* sing with tips on how to improve. Who wouldn’t want to sing like Floor?
13 years ago i started singing lessons with my lovely teacher. And 13 years ago, I did the same breathing exercises and precisely THESE exercises, exactly in the same way as you did (hands on stomach and on the lower belly, don't stress the jaw, don't move the head up and down, the finger on the upper tooths... all the same. After 13 years, i'm really glad to see these exercises brought to all of us by one of the most talented female singers and I deeply glad to my teacher for all the patience, support and love she gave to me over and over the years. This video remember me how important are these basics, how important is to repeat these on a regular basis, how important is for me singing and also how important is for me my teacher. Seeing you doing these exercises in the same manner i made 13 years ago it was really a big pleasure. Thank you Floor and I hope to see many other videos about your youtube masterclasses. I enjoyed it so much!!!
The last time I sang was almost 30 years ago in the school choir. With these wonderful classes you have inspired me to start singing again. Thank you for your time and your generosity. Much love from 🇿🇦South Africa 💕🇿🇦
The legend teaching us her techniques ... It's time to learn with the best one :)
What a woman!
Thank you Floor!
This has been awesome! I’m 41 years old and had grown up studying classical voice. But nearly a decade ago I began to develop thyroid cancer that wouldn’t be caught until two years after it began to grow and by that point it had paralyzed part of my vocal cord (I’m sorry I don’t remember the technical terms for the folds that move together that make the sound anyway the right fold had been paralyzed.) By this time I had not been singing in a choir for four years, the longest I’d ever been away from the stage and working with my voice, at the time.
After learning that I had been told it would be better if I didn’t do any kind of singing if I ever wanted to have the ability for a while, from that point until a little while after the surgery, if I ever wanted to sing again.
Come to find out the reason for the paralyzation was because the cancer had wrapped completely around the nerve that made that side of my vocal fold move. They were survived I was still able to sing as well as I did and put it down to the years of training. My main problem at that time was constantly having to clear my throat. So if anyone is reading this and you are a healthy singer (as in you use proper techniques to support your voice so you don’t cause your voice to strain on a regular basis) and start to experience having to clear your throat, or cough, or swallow to soothe your throat as it suddenly becomes itchy or tickles when you sing. Go see a doctor. Thyroid cancer doesn’t follow trends in age, sex or any of those common thoughts about cancer. It can happen just as easily to a teenager as it can to a first time mother as it can to a struggling artist right out of college, to the soldiers servicing on the frontlines, to our grandparents. So it’s important to not think it can’t happen to you if you feel something’s wrong with how your voice is acting. Trust me you do not want to be in the shoes I’m in now.
I’m here watching this because, even though I had the best surgeon in The Mayo Clinic for the type of case of thyroid cancer I had, it was still wrapped around and squeezing the nerve that controlled part of my vocal fold. Afterwards, when they explained was causing the paralysis and how extensive the restrictions was, the doctors warned me straight away that I might never get the control needed to sing professionally again, but they did assure me that there was no danger of not regaining the full use of my speaking voice.
That surgery was 8 years ago and I have just this year regained half the vocal range and control I once had. But what I found so useful in this video was that it showed me a lot of what I was skipping over because I was “past” it in my head. But when I worked with the video I realized that there was I lot of the basics I was really ignoring because I just wanted to get back to where I was that I am ignoring literally decades of vocal training. So thank you, Floor, for reminding me that I should not try to run before I can crawl.
Thank you for this. It's hard to imagine, that I can wake up in the morning and be in a top level class with a world-class vocalist, for free.
I harmonized with you on the aahs. We sounded great. Life is good.
You remind me so much of my own singing teacher at the conservatory, it's uncanny! Anyways, really good to have the basics explained in such a clear and concise manner, it's easy to forget about many of these over the years. Thanks for these!
I take singing lessons since january, sing nightwish karaoke all day long and you are my absolute rolemodel. Now you give these singing masterclass and I have to hold back tears because I feel like you are talking directly to me. Thank you so much!!! This is so helpful.
Such beauty inside out, such class, such everything... Floor you are the brightest star...
Always a pleasure Floor! Thanks for sharing your wisdom🤘🏻
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this Floor! I've been taking lessons for a year and tensing the jaw/breathing have always been a problem. Last week I tried your tips in class and my teacher noticed the change! 😍
Floor: fffffffff ( looks amazing)
Me: fff.... *faints*
I miss these videos! Your warmup has been super helpful for me, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
My flatmates will love these new techniques when I take a shower
Breathing practice is a part of my daily routine because of a muscular disease, and I could right away understand what you, Floor, meant when you spoke how important controlling breathing muscles really is when you sing or even speak. Even though I don't sing myself I love to watch your teaching.
Floor, these exercises are very helpful. I’m going to practice them every day. Thank you so much for this masterclass and for sharing such a precious knowledge with us. ❤️
Wonderful!
4:48 1st exercise
6:20 2nd exercise/ short puffs
6:55 3rd exercise/long F/equally strong/controlled breathing
10:04 4th exercise/sing on a note
10:49 5th exercise/short puffs on a note
Another awesome video! You help me appreciate all the little things that go into doing what you do. Thank you Floor. I can't wait to work on these and for next week's #3
I think that is the most that my abdominal muscles have been engaged since lockdowns started eight months ago. 😂 And you’re definitely right about feeling slightly dizzy! Oxygen! Woah! 🥴
Just like in dance, or any art form for that matter, you’ll always have these core exercises you’ll go back to - to refocus, or just automatically - that are the foundation building blocks of everything you do.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on an area that is fairly alien to me! 🙏🏻
Thank you for making so many great videos for us all!
You really inspire me Floor! Thank you so much ♥️♥️
Thank you! Beautifully done. Well said.
Wow! Lots of great tips and exercises. Definitely going to be trying them out!! Thank you for sharing you me experiences and expertise with us! ❤️
Thank u, it’s beautiful to learn from you!!!😍
I don´t sing and I don´t want to sing but I will watch all of these videos because you are the best singer in the world.
I had been waiting for these classes for yeeears!! Thanks Floor!
This is gold, thank you floor ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks for these valuable tips i hope there is more to come i think its neat learning from a master vocalist thanks floor !
Floor, these exercises are wonderful! Thank you! Can’t wait to try them out!
I play both sax and flute and still struggling with singing - the correct technique; these exercises you are teaching Floor are absolutely perfect for singing! You are the first teacher who actually really understands this stuff and can explain it well! THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU FLOOR! Alleluia!
This is actually very helpful, and it's an honor to be able to learn some cool stuff from you, thank you!
I love your masterclass, thanks so much for doing it! I feel so privileged learning from one of my singing idols.
I'm not trying to sing, but watching this helps to undestand all the hardwork you singers do. Congratulations Floor!
My last vocal lesson was when I was 18. Loving the masterclasses as a good refresher. It’s been a long time since I was 18.
Very helpfull lesson! Floor is always generous and loving with us!!
I was missing you!!! Thank you Floor!
Thank you sooo much! This Master Class serie is amazing
Wow, that can really help me get ahead. Thank you, Floor! You are irresistible.
Thank you very much for the advice, love the concept, keep it up, you are the best!!!
i was never into singing myself, i know im not good, but im here to listen how our queen is doing it
Your tips are very important for me. I love sing and you are my bigest vocal inspiration. THANK YOU!
Good evening Floor, thanks for the great tutorial video, I had a fracture of my right upper jaw in an accident ... the exercise, according to you, helped me move it, thanks 👍😊
thank you very much floor for your generosity of teaching us - it's such a privilege to learn from you - thank you ♥
I started karaoke singing three years ago, just for fun, feeling myself improving by time but I never knew what exactly I am doing better. Now, after watching these previous videos, I understand better and hope to improve more. I even started thinking about finding a teacher ( although I'm 45..) because I really really love singing! These videos are a previous gift. THANK YOU, Floor❤️
I'm only a shower singer but with this I'm gonna be a hell of a shower singer.
No but seriously, I know I don't have talent but I think I'm not that bad and I've been considering taking classes to at least feel confident with myself, and having such a legend like Floor giving some tips is getting me motivated. Thanks a lot Floor.
