    My jaw, and back of throat, often aches when singing. I think this is why - I sing with a tense, closed throat. This is helpful.

    The very best video out there to describe open throat singing technique. She doesn't hold back and is very thorough. No frills, no junk, no bias...this is straight-ahead fact. Thanks a million, Freya!!!

    It took me literally 3 hours to gain somewhat of a control over my throat, but it's finally clicking and I'm pumped to keep practicing. Already makes a huge difference in my sound and breath support. Thanks so much Freya, you are a Queen and a half

    It’s all about resonance. My teacher was very big on this. It was a game changer for me. Modifying vowels on specific pitches all of a sudden results in a volume increase. You hear it. You feel it. All of a sudden, it just clicks and makes sense.

    Freya: Your teaching is so sensational wonderful. I am amateur singer for many years and I am volunteer zoom teaching seniors singing English songs for over four years now. It is that your great inspirational , professional teaching set a marvelous example for me to share the music passion to people and bring the smile to senior's faces! Huge thank you to you-the best music teacher I have met in my life! And I recommended you to many my old students to watch your lovely clips.

    Open throat, AH vowel and apoggio together are the key. My teacher learned this method in Germany 50 years ago from Gene Rabine (an American). I have not found any other teacher who teaches this. For me, never having been a singer, it was not quick and easy to learn a pure AH vowel. Now, when I get warmed up, it is the foundation for all singing. My teacher always repeated, and repeated, "listen to the AH" - it gives the flowing stream of sound on an uninterrupted column of air as the tongue forms the vowels without closing the "throat." The consonants are spit out quickly, and the flow continues. It is also very helpful for intonation.

      I'm so happy to read this comment. I also studied the Rabine Method created by Eugene Rabine for 7+ years in Argentina where it has spread incredibly among popular music singers, not so much with classical singers tho. This method is science based vocal training and I've found it extremely useful for teaching as well. Unfortunately I could not finish my training due to the pandemic, I had to come back to my country and there's no Rabine Method here 😅. I'm studying again and looking for material to recover muscle tone for singing opera and chamber music I miss it so much. ❤

      @melaniecascante6177 I am happy to read this. It has been hard to understand how this idea is not generally adopted. Apparently the idea is known in opera circles. In a TH-cam master class, a soprano from the Met said she was not focused on the AH vowel. My teacher said AH was natural in the Italian tongue, but it took me, an old American, years to understand it. I think of it as the very energy channel, the kundalini, of the entire voice. All good singers open the throat and a big smooth voice pours out.

    As a gigging singer, this video is simply outstanding. Watching this is like saving $200 (or more) on voice lessons. I consider this particular lesson a gift. I had to learn this skill is counterintuitive. Thank You Freya for such an excellent refresher and explanation.

    If you record yourself doing these exercises try to use an app that gives a graphic real-time display of the vocal signal on a timeline - you will notice where there are lighter grey area's these are the resonance and overtones you are creating when using the voice correctly.

    • @stevieG.
      @stevieG. 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@anjad8622 The one I have found to be the best and easy to use is EZ Voice by IK Mulitmedia US - It should be found on the Google play store app. In free mode you get a real-time display of your vocal in black and white with the mentioned 'grey' overtones - really useful - also, on my Samsung phone I can set the EZ to record and then start a backing track on youtube and it keeps recording even though you switch to TH-cam. Then you can do your singing and maybe save the song and send it via multimedia to another device - hope this helps. ?

    Beautiful! I’ve struggled with tightness in my throat coming from a Jazz background with my vocal folds more closed…go figure. My coach said I flutter the back of my tongue to try to control a wobbly vibrato that’s not natural. In actuality I just need to open the back my throat to get a smooth natural vibrato. I struggle with this the most as I’m preparing for a recital to sing a duet of Panis Angelicus. Thank you! I’ve seen many of your videos lately.

  • @Adiosumi
    @Adiosumi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I find this video super helpful to improve my spoken English, more specifically, the accent.
    I'm a non-native English speaker and I want my accent, which is quite narrow and thin, to sound native. I watched several English-learning videos and was told that AE accent tends to have a lower placement. Finally I realized it means it resonates more in the throat and chest. But except for going on a lower pitch, none of them showed a practical way to achieve it.
    I'm so glad I saw the step at 4:48. Use the muscles do produce a more resonant vowel sound and my pronunciation now sounds thicker.
    I think it's because my native language never needs to resonate a lot, I wasn't even aware of the muscles at that position.
    Thank you for making such a detailed video.

    Wow, that was so cool to learn that I can see and feel (under my chin) the difference between an open throat and a closed, nasal tone.
    I first learned to sing an open-throat sound in combination with a lowered larynx, so I habitually do both together. I honestly didn't know those were two independent things! I'm now practicing to find my open-throat sound with a more natural position of the larynx.

    Freya, I keep coming back to this video because it is so clear and you can really see what is happening with your throat muscles which makes it easier to copy. At first my muscles just weren't strong enough, but now I can really do this and feel it and see it in the mirror. Thanks for being so open.

    Thank you, Freya of these videos I must have seen before, but I was not even the level to understand to differentiate the move.
    The problem is to have self discipline and keep motivation to practice everyday to learn well.
    These voice warm up series are wonderful. Thank you!
