Dear Michael Trimble.....once again an incredibly informative and thought provoking video. Bravo!. I'm not quite you age...I'm a mere stripling at age 73. My first voice lesson was when I was 28. I was "tricked" into meeting "a woman" when I was a single lad visiting England. The woman turned out to be 82 at the time and a former "star" on the London stage singing often with the "ethereal" (my word) Heddle Nash. She thought me a baritone, but since I strangled on the low notes, found me out as a tenor. I had only sung at post-match rugby parties. After, wherever I was in the US, if money allowed, I 'd find a teacher.(5 to date) None mentioned anything about vocal stops or the "true mask". All had the notion of "singing in the mask" by pusing air toward the front of one's face and trying to shape sounds around the vowels therein resonating. The taught no doubt as they were taught. 6 years ago I discovered your videos. This will sound like a brag...it is not. It is an astonishment. I do not, have not will not perform, so this is almost to no point except what follows: unitil following your videos, I struggled to sing Bflat in every piece I found it. I now warm up to e flat above high C and have on a few days in good summer weather gone to E natural. But here's where I am most astounded. I warm up "down" to the lowest note on the piano. I asked current teacher for confirmation, thinking I must be mis-hearing myself. Apparently not. This discovery is since age 66 and as a devotee of your videos. I'm absolutely agog at the difference. This may be preaching to the choir as those who watch your videos have already committed to your teaching. This is just another testimonial and "thank you"...and by the way, Happy Birthday and keep up the tremendous work.
Dear Michael Trimble, thank you so much again and again for your most inspiring and enlightening thoughts and the tremendous energy you transport through your videos. A very Happy Birthday to you and all my best wishes! Greetings from Germany, Gwendolyn
Another great gem of a video tape Maestro. I use all of these breath stops. All of them work beautifully. The breath stops on the tip of the tongue is new news to me and very useful, as it seemed to make my mouth remain completely still and move less while singing. Thank you!
😂great sense of humour. Priceless information in this video. Had to subscribe! Long may you live, Sir. Long, healthy and happy. 😅Now where's that toilet paper? I gotta practice all these voice stops.
Dear Maestro, Your videos must see all even professional opera singers. I'm sending your video lessons to many my colleagues. ❤Thank You so much. God bless you.🎉 Many happy years ahead 🎉
I've tried some diferent Breath stops that you mention, once you get one of them, it's Easyer to do The rest of them. I've feel how you get a diferent reaction throught them. My goal right know is to Sing mostly Rock. The problem that I have, is that I don't know wich one to use. What's your perspective on choosing one? Should everybody find Out What's The one that fits better his voice type to achieve that claro oscuro or It should be based on The material that you want to Sing? Or just find Out which one you like?
Professor, thank you for the number of videos you make and the great detail you go into with them. They are very, very helpful and clear up so much. one thing i wanted to ask, I cannot seem to find how to lean the breath on the chest, i get the abs correct and the inhale into the low back, but cant seem to lean on the exhale. How could i find this?
When you sing some phrases of operas why can‘t I understand a word? It would be so much better if one could understand clearly what you are singing. I mean, when I listen to Alfredo Kraus in a Masterclass I do understand everything

Happy belated 85th b-day Maestro Samson!

Thank you Mike. Happy Birthday!
thanks for the knowledge you pass forward!
Another phenomenal video by the most phenomenal teacher out there. Thank you, Maestro.
Just great! Thank you, maestro!

hi, may I ask how to approach using these breath stops? is it a matter of focusing one's attention on how that spot physically feels while singing?
😂great sense of humour. Priceless information in this video. Had to subscribe! Long may you live, Sir. Long, healthy and happy. 😅Now where's that toilet paper? I gotta practice all these voice stops.
