How to Sing Without Tension 

A few year ago i started trying to make sure that my abdomen/stomach was relaxed when i was singing and I immediately started to sound better to myself, i could sing with more range, hit high notes more comfortably and i started to genuinely enjoy singing, something that i can't say i always did in the past. However, as you say, bad habits can start to creep back in and i have started to experience tension in my abdomen again while singing and often forget what i've learned so thanks for the reminder, i'll endeavour to relearn that lesson in the future 👍

Normally coaches don't have their students grasping at straws. This time, it's a useful exercise. Thanks for the lesson!

A lot of the jaw and tongue tension I’m working through rn are emotional based, there’s those who speak up and those who hold things inside and holding for 20 something years has caused me to completely relearn how to even speak correctly not just singing. But on days when I free myself up I feel like I can sing so easily and it’s such a relief! It feels like I’m letting the notes go instead of controlling them! Per Bistows program really helped me, but this is a great vid highlighting singers biggest and unknown issue thank you for this vid!

The longer form unedited videos on your channel are super helpful to me. I like the feeling that I have to really sit down and digest all this information. Your explanations are thorough and really sink in. Looking forward to more content!

You have so much tension in your natural voice.

I’ve been practicing Pilates with some really great teachers for the past two years, and one unexpected result for me is that I have so much more interoception in my lower abs and ribs and using the breath with the movement and all of this la gauge about letting the note out vs putting it out finally makes sense to me. I can feel the breath and the placement so much more clearly in my self now, and it feels so good.

Superb lesson dude 👌🏼🤟🏼 awesome content, keep it coming man.

I'm binging your videos right now, these are really, really, really good stuff. You mention that lessons hit differently at different times but you make it REALLY CLEAR and no messing what you need to do and the reality of singing. You can tell that you know what you are talking about because you have actually had to overcome challenges yourself, so much RU-vid stuff is people with some nice voices slightly refining them and not telling you about the big journey you need to make and how incremental it is. And how psychological it is. THANK YOU!

Have to thank you. Thats brilliant mate. And bs free. Thanks again. Greetings from Berlin, G. 👍

Thanks for this, I really feel like you're talking to me as I keep pushing for bigger vocals to sound like some of the music I listen to, but ultimately feel weak and powerless. Hopefully I can grasp a more effortless take and still get there

Thank you for this video!!

Very good video! Good insights! You talked about things that very few coachs do...
