Sing Better by Controlling Your Larynx 

may you live another 100 years!!!

Thanks for explaining everything instead of just saying “do these exercises” It helps me understand instead of going thru the motions

Hi Chuck, I would just like to congratulate you on such a simplistic yet rewarding vocal program. Your program has saved my life!

Thank you for your videos. I have been singing classical for years. My teacher 30 years ago taught me to sing effortlessly and I was able to sing for hours and hours every day and never had a problem, but I must admit that I never really new what was going on in my throat. I just remember that I had to unlearn the idea of using my body to push up and support the notes as I go up and up. This at first doesn't feel right, but when you practice with this in mind it becomes normal and produces better sound. I have used the phrase when helping people " the body doesn't care". Let the body go, sing from the eyes up. Singing is 90% imagination and 10% physical effort. Of course the more fit you are the easier it will be and the better you will sound. I suppose you could say that until seeing your videos, I have been singing blind. But now I see! Thank you so much.

Thank you for these exercises. I got sick ten years ago and what I thought would be temporary laryngitis persisted and I lost my fifth and sixth octave. Due to this is started singing around whatever it was and trying to hit high notes I used to be able to hit so easily. To do this I had to raise my larynx. It’s been ten years and I still haven’t fully recovered my sixth octave. I’m starting to realize that I took on some really bad habits maneuvering around my issues, that includes a raised larynx. Finding your videos is helping me stabilize my larynx. It’s really hard once I start getting to my high C’s, but it’s starting to come along. I’m just so very grateful for your videos. Much love to you for caring about others and their voices ♥️

I've done these exercises for 3 weeks,everyday. and now i feel better HUGE THANKS DEAR CHUCK

I love this, I'm gaining so much more control. Just by doing these exercises before I rehearse.

Thank you sir! I really appreciate your videos! God bless you!

I give Aadhan (call for prayer) regularly in our local Masjid, and I was looking for a way to recite relatively high pitches compared to my usual deep voice, I believe your tips are amazing, I can get quite high but I still am looking for being comfort around those high notes, thanks for such great content.

Your voice is amazing, you could become the world-singer👏

I love you. I get a lotfrom your videos! thanx

This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you Sir 🙏 You are Genius ❤️

Mad respect.

Thank you so much!! What a great exercise this bubble lip!

i felt that “ah”

2:47 When you stub your toe

Brilliant demo. Thanks 👍

There was a song I couldn’t sing. After doing bubble lips it was no problem. Thank you so much!!!

I found this so helpful, thank you so much!!!

Wow it really helps a lot I had a lot of tention on my neck for a long time and this really help me thank u sir ......

Awesome!

Very nice tutorial, I have nothing negative to say about it!! Thanks!

These exercises don't expand your chest voice they just give you access to you mixed voice.

I will like every of your videos. Good job.

Hi Chuck, thanks for sharing such great content. Your exercises have helped me to better understand what it feels like to sing higher notes freely without pulling chest. But how do I go from singing perfect "goos" to other vowels and ultimately words in a song? It seems to be quite a big jump! Keep up the good work! George

Awesome Sir

this are so informative.thanks papz...

amazing hope I could sing better also

Thank you sir❤

I've realized I'd been closing the air passage in my throat up to the back of my tongue. When I realized how to keep the larynx off, I felt that the passage opened up way way down further, like almost down to my chest. I had been having problems with my ears and nose, hearing those cracky plastic sounds in my ears. When this passage was opened, I could also feel my ears opened (like winds literally puffed out), it was amazing. So many things I've been doing wrong! It makes my throat more relieved and my larynx doesn't go up. It's so much more relaxed and effective to sing that way and it improves my posture and mental health, too.

I worked all the morning on the take which was to high for me and i got in troubless. After i said "GA" i sang it at easy. Thank you sooooo much! You helped very, very!!

Thanks a lot sir i am really grateful that i saw your videos at beginning level i am a beginner

first of all i want to thank u for your videos. my question is that ,'how to remove our bass voice from vocal chords' ?

Oh my god this video is amazing! Thank you makes so much sense 🙏😊

Thanks

thanks for lesson. i can understand it easy.

Very useful lessons

i feel like im singing in my mixed voice when i do this exercise....

It helps me, especially Dopey sound, but I can`t use it for my highest note - C5 (in falsetto). I can take this note only this very big tension. How can sing that note without tension and go higher?

3:41 Should've continued the video after the bubble part, now I found myself thinking I was singing better at Karaoke night by replacing the words and singing that way. No but on a serious note: I used to be told to do that exercise a dozen years ago and I had never understood why. Now I'll get back to that habit, thanks! And will definitely have to record myself and A/B myself before and after your other video exercise about "ng" to avoid pulled chest. Thanks a million

I have to practice this excersise to gain my headvoice because I lost my range do to strain

Hello, I'm Philipp from Germany. Im currently 17 years old and I'm taking singing lessons for half a year. I watched A LOT of your videos. I got a problem: Everytime I do some of the gee or goo exercises trying to keep my larynx down, I always get exhausted immediately, and I sometimes just can't relax the vocal chords above the f above middle c. This makes it really hard to practise these. I feel like I can't get any forward. My larynx keeps coming up trying to sing higher notes. :/ Any advice? P.S. I love your videos more than anything! You are a huge help for a lot of young singers, thank you very much for that! You are the best of RU-vid! Keep going! ♥️

Thank you so much for this video! Do you suggest these exercises for people who have been diagnosed with vocal nodules?

you're good

Thank you very much!! I neve heard such a lesson before. I find it very helpful!

Thank You very much! it's very helpful. I'm just a beginner and don't have voice lessons

I seem to go into falsetto when I do the bubble lips,idk it send like I can never go into head voice no matter how Hard I try

Is it more effective if I use bubble lips or tongue trill ?

Thanks Chuck, but I have one question. How am I supposed to release tension on "e"? I know it has to do with tongue, but it is simply hard for me to keep my mouth wide.

Sir Can we use these exercises to learn songs which has Higher notes we cannot sing????

Looking in the mirror, I can see my larynx rise as I do the lip bubbles & tongue trills. How do I make it stay down?

Is it possible to pull the larynx up even when doing the bubble lips or tongue trill? I feel strained even when doing bubble lips/tongue trills.

They seem to get your voice to be better. But a question, Will they help in every language? Like, you know the famous Rabindra Tagore and his famous bengali songs. Is the way of english songs different from other songs(bengali, hindi, arabic, etc) and will these exercises work for all type of singing? The Rabindra Sangeets (songs) are quite different and I panic that they won't work for these R.S. Lata Mangeshkar (respected singer of India) and Celine Dion are not at all same but you know, I want to reach the top of both english and bengali songs, even other and that's a pretty difficult task. So please, help me out!

I do that Exercise n i get hose trout what can i do go get back better

You sound like Seth Riggs. I like your voice.

Whenever i try too do the bubble or thounge thrill, my larynx raises everythime, and i can feel a strain, i keep going out and in of singing correctly and it really sucks, Its like sometimes i can hit it rigth from the start, and other times it takes 10 minutes too find the mix, without straining. Any tips?

Nice

That makes sense that's how to teach nice work ...............

Really like the exercises, but the larynx SHOULD rise and lower in singing despite what a lot of people think. What was demonstrated when going up in a "thick-fold" sound here was constriction of the "false folds" and not sure to a risen larynx. Whilst I do agree - rising a larynx too high can become problematic, but a risen larynx for higher singing is an acoustic changer and allows for a more resonate sound in the pharynx. Nice trills! :) If you'd like to discuss this further I'd love to share views! :)

When I'm in my head voice I can't hold my larnyx neutral or lower It's getting higher. Is it normal for head voice? or Is it just a bad habbit And when I go to higher pitches on dopey sound I use a lot of compressed and it sounds really bad. Should I stop use compression that much

What to do with tongue?

Does this mean that whenever singing high notes, the singer should sound dopey/hooty, or is this ONLY for the exercise?

Do pop singers sing with a high larynx?

3:26 The exercises

is this exercise also include in the vocal types exercises mp3?

unfortunately, i m a girl and i cant feel my larynx with my hand😂😂

What if i cant trill my tongue ?

Why do I sound so weird when I do Dopey Gee go higher..? My voice sounds like 90yo grandpa.. is it normal..

In singing

What is the meaning of resonance?

06:30 Dopey Sound

hello chuck! you gave 4 exercises here to lower the larynx. Can i just choose 1 exercise to sing the difficult song? or do i have to be able to do it across all 4 techniques? i can do it in the lip bubble no problem but i lose the dopey quality of the gee/ goo when the notes go higher so i was wondering if the lip bubble would be enough. Also, when doing it in the lip bubble, do i do it in the same volume as i would do the actual song (belting)? thank you. this video was exceptionally educational for me.

GOSH DAMN ITTTTT I CANT DO ITTTTTT

Hi

Lip Bubbles and Tongue Trills are speech therapy exercises - never meant for singing. No one should consciously try to control their larynx except in keeping it neutral through proper breath support and a "uh" larynx position. The larynx is a responsive organ, not an active one. But that laryngeal dampening should be a mental direction, not a physical direction. Your "Les Miserable" singing example shows just how weak lip bubbles train to voice to become; they simply don't compress the folds enough to create enough frequency response, resulting a weak sound lacking in a balanced tonality.

Literally tried bubble voice (because I literally can't do a tongue trill for more than .05 seconds) and everything just stops by itself when i try to go a little higher, anyone know how to help?

How do you speak like Michel'le

i cant tung trill.....

You're information is great, your background music is too loud! Your goal is to increase viewers not drive them away.

2:28 lmao

There’s no evidence that high larynx techniques are harmful or ineffective, and the high larynx coordinations you show only don’t work because they don’t go with the sound you are after. These “absolute truths” you sell are in fact highly conditional. It’s like someone saying the trombone slide should always be in the same position. Some of your “bad” examples sounded pretty good, and closer to what a lot of people are after in certain rep, and also are more sustainable because you had a higher closed quotient. I really wish we could have more reasonable discussions than this, and present a balanced view instead of forcing our own preferences on others.

can anybody get a stable larynx with exercise?I m 17.

background music is too loud and distracting

Malik flyer car

I am sorry that I have to correct you but the larynx has no bone tissue! The only bone in the neck besides the spine is the hyoid bone and that is not part of the larynx! :)

0:04 0:04 6:49 God! I haven't hear you singing a complete song; but just in the exercices- which I thank to you; your voice sound " tired", warn out ; have little resonance and brightness ; it can be appreciate . Have you sing for longer- it seem to me, religious songs, kind of gospel..Am I wrong, sorry I'm an opera student..no original exercises, sorry..

Your voice is shaky

Chuck- Your exercises are always too fast, especially for the beginner.

first of all i want to thank u for your videos. my question is that ,'how to remove our bass voice from vocal chords' ?
