For my full course on how to become an amazing singer, go here:

There's been an amazing response to my videos on vocal technique. But it's hard to continue doing the in depth, 3 part, vids that I've been doing. So I decided to start doing "Quick Tips." Videos that last 5min or less, that address the common vocal issues that you guys email me about.
This vid deals with nasality in the voice. The same principles that apply in this vid for alleviating nasality also apply to developing a healthy belt voice sound.

I think the Lord has introduced your videos to me. You have been amazing in your teaching, I have learned more in the couple of hours of "like'ing your videos than I have in years. Thank you God for giving me this opportunity and Thank You Eric for all the lessons you give us for free!

Diaphragm is between abdomen and thorax.. we have to make our diaphragm flat to expand our breath pressure so our neck and vocal chord relax and the air can flow very easy to reach that high tone with good sound quality.. cool video with simple explanation =)

You're always supporting by drawing the breath low in the body, whether you're singing low, high, soft, or loud.

@ReddishSunset 3 года назад

Dude this was it. This was the secret to breath support that has eluded me for YEARS. Thank you so much man this was huge.

Bravo. He's like an Alton Brown in the way he explains things. Very clear and hands-on. He doesn't leave you with more questions, unlike some other online instructors. I feel satisfied with whatever I've learned after watching this guy's videos.

Dear bro Eric,i am 82 yrs. old and your video’s have helped me immensely ! It’s been said of me ,”i can’t believe that song came outta dat face !” Lovya !

@joyspel 11 лет назад

this is my problem : nasality. if i succeed in solving it through your advices I will be soooooooo grateful. thanks eric

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

Yep. Sounds like you're on the right track, especially with the low back expansion. Getting the low back to expand with the inhale is a "secret" used by many of the best singers. Keep pressing onward - you have good instincts.

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

Yeah, unwanted nasality is a common problem for singers of all genres. Thanks for your video response.

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

By definition, "belting" is pulling the chest voice up. This is unhealthy, since it encourages a tight throat. However, I suggest striving for a "belt sound." By "belt sound", I mean singing with the intensity of true belting without the strain. The key is to find focus in the voice, while in the mix. This will bring a forceful sound to the tone, without strain in the neck. I'll be doing a video on this in January, so stay tuned.

@JoseJOnline 15 лет назад

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!! Thank you so much When im in a lower notes my voice are good and well but when i go higher i get that higher sound and i want it to sound more full and powerful Wooooo

@samtenor08 16 лет назад

i know everyone has told you this...but you are an amazing teacher and your approach works!!! i followed what you said to do in several of your videos and then i tried singing some of my favorite songs. I ended up hitting high G's and A's with relatively no problem!! Thanks soo much!

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

Nasality is generally a result of a tight/clenched throat, which leads to both vocal damage and an unpleasant vocal tone. ...Celine Dion is a product of a Francophone environment. Nasality in pronunciation of certain words is simply a part of the French language. However, Celine's "nasality" is not caused by excessive muscle tension.

@chinmia 15 лет назад

thank u for helping so many and asking for nothing in return...these tips usually cost somebody's rent money. u're much appreciated.

@lbushkovski 12 лет назад

Eric, I checked out your videos, experimened with the technique, then took off for a gig... I never sounded so strong for so long, and I've only made it through the first 10 vids. Excellent, truly excellent. Thank you for spending the time to do such thorough videos.

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

Even with Garth Brooks, I would say that his "nasal" sound is more a product of his diction and it is a desired aesthetic in his genre. This video is for the many who have undesired nasality in their voices. I think that to completely switch genres, instead of working to alleviate the nasality might be a little extreme. Especially since there are significant vocal health issues involved.

@TheKindredTrucker 13 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It's awesome to hear explanations on singing that include the role of anatomy. You're awesome, and clearly a great teacher!

@bubblezen 14 лет назад

Mr. Arceneaux, the insane thing about this exercise is that high notes come out EASY!!! No pushing one´s throat, no crazy effort, nothing! Thanks a lot, I guess...

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

Your voice is awesome Alberto. Just glad I could help you enhance your gift.

@ronah62 17 лет назад

thank you for your lessons. I have been doing some of your excercises and it's really, really helpful. You are truly a great teacher. God bless you for sharing your gift with us.

@benoz11 14 лет назад

This really helped a lot, I was getting most of my power from head and chest area and it wasn't low enough, focusing on pushing from lower makes it sound a lot better.

@imafreebitch18 12 лет назад

am i the only one who thinks this man is gorgeous ? :D your lessons really helped too thanx :D

@macporteiro 14 лет назад

Holy sh... 4:14 and 4:36 I could never expect that!!! Amazing. Have you ever listened to a Brazilian singer called Ed Motta? You should... Fantastic mate, congratulations! And thanks for sharing that with all of us.

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

Bring your knee as high up as you can at that time. It may feel slightly uncomfortable, but it should not feel painful at all. The more you do it, the easier it will become.

@MedievalFairy 15 лет назад

Thanks, thanks sooo much for existing!!! I teach too, both classical and modern singing, and i think you are a very serious case in youtube. i had only seen mediocre or simply pathetic videos before.everyone i know found your videos very helpful. Good luck and i wish you even higher!

@esiah123chelo 14 лет назад

I have taken vocal lessons before and being a vocalist you are right on with eveything you have showed BRAVO to you!!!

@MollyKeeter 12 лет назад

The nasal version sounded ala Chris Brown and the good version was ala Usher. Anyway, this is so helpful as I am trying out for a part in a musical with some high notes and I don't want to be gross! Thank you so much!!!

@ericarceneaux 17 лет назад

lol. Naw, it wasn't directed at you specifically. But it is important for you to release your throat - not just because of the sound, but to prevent you from damaging your voice.

@g4d4j5 17 лет назад

This is absolutely great! I tend to have a nasally voice, so this is just what I've always wanted! Thank you very much.

@ivalerie214 11 лет назад

Holy shit! This works! Thanks, man!

@jonmcsingee 17 лет назад

a SECOND diaphragm??? Who knew? Thanks for sharing your hard-gained knowledge and for making it so practical. Those stretches really work!

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

Just go as far as you comfortably can at this time. You should still get some really good results, and your flexibility will improve with time.

@tertra114 15 лет назад

i know lol i couldn't at first either but thats when you have to lean up against the wall and bend the knee slightly, as you rest your weight against the wall your leg should be able to go higher.

@grace777d 13 лет назад

He's a great teacher.

@kabante 16 лет назад

Hi, Eric! I'm a big fan of your music and I actually was almost brought to tears by one of your songs in Myspace. My biggest problem in performing is that before I sing, my throat dries up, and even if I drink tons of water, the fluidity of my normal, relaxed voice (like whenever I take a shower) does not resonate. My voice cracks up and becomes dull. Hence, some people say that I force my voice out when I perform. Seriously though, I sing better in the shower. Haha. Thanks, Eric.

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

Sure

@Giiirgis 13 лет назад

Thaaank you a lottt !!! I can now raise my voice higher and higherr and vibrato is comning out more naturallyy !!!! thankk youuu !

@tggold 16 лет назад

I sometimes use "ningy-ningy-ningy-ningy-ningy" while goign down the scale (and in a completely exaggerated character voice) and that helps clear a lot up for me. Don't know if it will work for you, but it can't hurt =) Also avoid drinking COLD liquids.

@RyanTheEpic 13 лет назад

This is interesting, I'll be definately be using this exercise.

@TheWezEffect 12 лет назад

"Remember,You can't get your support, from down here, if there is no expansion down here" Awesome tips man thank-you.

@asdfgh807 14 лет назад

this is like a work out session but it really work my singing sounds better

@AngelicDelight 17 лет назад

^_________^ I wish everybody knew what you're teaching. I'm not saying I'm that special or anything, but breathing low like that is a concept my junior high band teacher drilled into us. Sadly, I've slipped out of the habit of doing that (I haven't played my instrument in over a year), and breathing deeply - and quickly, on demand - is something Ireally struggle with now. Glad to see there's a way to retrain myself.

@Rid3ordi 17 лет назад

Hey Eric YOUR VIDEOS REALLY INSPIRED ME TO SING! I MEAN REALLY!! I am a musician I play a Saxophone and breathing is how I get that nice quality sound and you showing me these exercises really made my sax sound improve. BUT I was wondering what are the ca uses for voices singing out of key?

@IdolEyes84 7 лет назад

Thank you :) Is this the same for girls? What if I want a higher/crisper voice without sounding nasal?

@imjazzi2 16 лет назад

Usually this is caused by untreated allergies. I recommend you visit an allergist. The better you can breathe, the better you can sing!

@ericarceneaux 15 лет назад

Well said.

@TheOrangeOctober 11 лет назад

Damn this was a bad day to wear jeans. I can't even get my leg up that high...

@DanielCMM 15 лет назад

the leg thing does really work!

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

lol, no problem.

@ericarceneaux 16 лет назад

Smoking is NOT ok. Smoking deteriorates every muscle group needed for singing, along with damaging organs that we need to live. In my private practice, I don't even accept clients that smoke (unless they're trying to quit). As a vocalist, your body is your instrument. Take care of it - you only get one.

@thevictoriaogunremi 4 года назад

Thanks a bunch

@1veggiemonster 12 лет назад

Is there a difference between singing clearly with decent volume like Ella Fitzgerald and belting like American Idol contestants?

@Klindza 14 лет назад

Awesome this fixed my problem! Love ya man!

@aerjones 16 лет назад

wow your suggestions are incredible. I am an alto, and find it hard to hit stronger, higher notes, so this helps tremendously. One question, on one of your earlier videos, you stressed singing without trying to 'sound' like someone else. Do you have any suggestions about originality? thank you

@bakikables 16 лет назад

@trentnjones 16 лет назад

I have a question. I tend to have a lot of nasal congestion sometimes and it affects my range. Any tips on how to cut it down? I cut out dairy, and I drink a lot of water. Will vapour rubs and so on help? I ask because I saw a show on the E channel that said singer Mariah Carey uses vapourisers to keep her nasal cavity clear. I want to know what is the best way to approch the problem.

II dont know if people are appreciating the subtle athletic ability you're demonstrating here...you're holding the leg,you're relaxed, and your'e talking casually with veeeeeerrrry little wobbling. Just wondering if you've taken years of yoga, pilates or martial arts?

@RJcur 15 лет назад

@TheBug1961 14 лет назад
