@@michellesanders6927 Hello, I am a little confused about the breath support part of CVT. CVT divides breath support into resistance and movement, but does not say what resistance is and how to practice it. So I want to ask should the abdomen be moving inward all the time? What is the difference between the abdominal state of high and low voices? How to practice resistance?😫
@@GGbond763 Yes, I can understand that it might be confusing about the support but in the CVT App it is described under "Feeling Support". During inhalation the diaphragm is contracted and lowered and will naturally stay there for a short time where you would not feel out of breath and need to exhale and breathe. This is called the "free support "Here you do not need more muscles strength to support the voice( more actively use the abdominal, back muscles and loin muscles to hold the air back(controlling the airflow). As soon as you ex. have to sing a longer phrase or higher notes you add gradually more muscle support to control the airflow(holding back the breath). Here you could example feel the active support (when you sing and hold the air back) by placing one hand at the solar plexus and the other hand on your abdomen around the navel and while holding the air back gradually bring out the solar plexus while at the same time bringing in the abdominal. This should give you a sensation that you are working against a resistance but still maintaining the movement while holding the air back. You can also imagine that you are about "to sprint" , blow up a ballon/ but holding the air in - carrying a heavy bag (but not to heavy). The sensation of resistance should never be locked ( the feeling when you add way to much muscles tension)- ex making "heavy sit ups". I hope this covers some of your questions. If you are more interested in CVT you can download the free app in App Store or get it at Google Play. Should you find the free app interesting you can bye the CVT App which covers the whole CVT Technique. Best Wishes Michelle/ Authorised CVT Teacher from Complete Vocal Institute

There are other videos. My understanding is the “resistance” is resisting the air from all going out. The support in should be low from under your navel and your tailbone coming under while your diaphragm pushes out sideways under your ribs and forward under your sternum. Check out this short from a cvt coach jk7T4Krh8Ms
Another point is that the background of this video and the teacher's clothes are black, and I feel that I can't see them clearly. I hope to improve it.
