Thank you so much Mary Beth!!!!!!

Thanks so much Mich!! I'm happy you're enjoying the exercises!!

Ara fortunately I don't receive a lot of really negative comments on my videos. But I see it elsewhere, and from other coaches on their channels. I will never go there. Life is too short. My goal is to teach great concepts and exercises that will make you (all singers) the best singer they can be, and lift them up, not tear them down. Thanks so much for your kind comment! And thanks for watching! Peace, Jeff

Hello Petra. As with religion or politics, not everyone will see things our way. I'm a bit of a camera nerd, and recently this new camera from Canon came out this called the Canon EOS R. It was the first mirrorless, full frame sensor camera from Canon, and even before people had a chance to try it out, camera vloggers and bloggers were saying it was "the worst camera ever created". I purchased the camera because one of my buddies at a camera store near me said "Jeff, this is the perfect camera for your needs". I bought it and absolutely love it. Once I figured it out, I discovered that it did indeed fulfill all of my video/photography needs. This video was shot on the new camera by the way! Vocal Technique is a bit like this. People hear one person say something negative about a vocal technique and then it snowballs into "this is the worst technique ever". I've heard terrible things about all of the other vocal techniques as well, but for the people who use those approaches, they work beautifully. Often times vocal techniques are being taught by misinformed teachers, teachers that have not mastered the methods themselves. They wind up teaching a watered down version, or a misaligned version of that technique and then wind up messing their student's voices up. You said you have been using the concepts I am teaching with success yes? Then this is obviously the right approach for you. Like religion and politics, we are all seeking the truth and my truth may not be your truth and that's ok! The Swedish-Italian vocal technique is based on time proven concepts from the Italian masters. Those guys and gals got it right centuries ago! Hope that answers your question! Peace and happy singing. Jeff Alani Stanfill

@@JeffAlaniStanfill Dear Jeff... You really are a god's gift full of positive energy among all these internet haters here. Thank you so, sooo much. I answered so many questions to my self just by watching your videos and reading posts by sir Jones... And maybe one other guy that's also using the same method... It literally felt like somebody took an eye cover off my eyes that was making me blind for like a years... There is still things to practice and there will always be since we are always changing over time, just like our bodies... So yes, once again, you are absolutely right with your comment here and thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for sharing these things so unselfishly... 🌹🌹🌹

Can i just add that it seems many who are against these concepts really have not studied them with a teacher so they likely do not really get them enough to feel the benefits.

Hello Maria. First off, I am happy that you are enjoying the tutorials. As far as a tea to heal the voice? I don’t really think there is one, however I am a big fan of the Yogi company’s Throat Comfort tea. It’s great and has some anti inflammatory ingredients which soothe the throat. Generally speaking, diet is everything when it comes to healing the body and therefore the throat and voice. Maybe the best course of action would be to see a nutritionist who can make a meal plan for you to reduce inflammation in your body as that what it sounds like is happening here. God bless and keep singing!

I hope this helps you! Thanks for watching!

Fatih Akhan yes you can absolutely use this technique for speaking! Speaking and singing do not need to feel so dissimilar. I often have my students speak their songs so that they can feel what “at speech” feels like. And for the speakers I’ve trained, I will have them sing their speeches or presentations. Hope that helps you! Peace and happy singing/speaking!

Mike it's imortant not to lock the larynx down. If it moves a little it's a good thing. A free, floating larynx is a sign of good vocal health. What you don''t want is for it to pop as you sing. Certain vowels like ee and eh are a little higher laryngeal vowels than oo and oh. Hope this answers your questions.

I ask my students to imagine the larynx is relaxed and slightly down, never pushed down during a song. If it needs to come up, it can but should never pop up. Hope that helps you!

Hi Ghenvo. Your larynx may not want to stay down the high up. Allow it to do what it needs to and never force it to stay down. Your in the male passaggio by D4 so likely the larynx is rising to tilt forward to allow the cords to stretch for the higher pitches.
