I've already listened to this twice!!! Lol Very helpful and easy to understand. These short videos are so helpful for me to go back to and use them for a refresher course so to speak! Please keep making them!!!
I’m a beginner, learning to sing when I first started about a year and half ago, I never did any falsetto stuff and was kinda taught to do tons of support and loud chest voice, which has helped, but I felt like 90% of the time my voice was irritated or horse etc. I couldn’t even get into the falsetto register when I first started lol at times I worked with a guy, who stresses the importance of the tiny Oo vowel and developing those “muscles “ or the thin vibration”. I’ve found that just by working on that and connecting it to my chest has been very therapeutic and feels like my voice feels way better overall and less irritated. Mentioned last video, ima start incorporating that darker Oo as well.
Great! But make sure it's dark and CLEAR! That's not so easy on OO. It tends to get buried and muffled. Support is largely a reflex action and your support mechanism behaves differently depending on what kind of sound you're making. So trying to add more support as a panacea is a dangerous dead-end. Loud chest is good if done well and in moderation, very bad if done badly and/or to excess. Not sure about "tiny OO": this OO is neither tiny nor thin lol. BUT working your voice big and robust actually helps to access softer and lighter sounds in a way that feels more stable and tonally consistent. If your voice is irritated it could be a sign that you're doing things wrong but it could also just be that you're doing them too much or going too high before you're ready for certain notes. Moderation and rest are essential.
I was referring to the falsetto or pure head voice Oo, in terms of tiny. I feel like that has been therapeutic etc. So when I first started , I used to like engage the abs when singing to “support” I now have been more of just inhaling and trying to keep the expansion going, and exhaling, or more so saying the sounds at the bottom of the throat and not worrying about the the final sound , and letting the body or abs be more reflective as you said.
@@Cjay0417 ah right, Yes! Falsetto OO is great as it opens the throat space and gives maximum stretch to the cords without the burden of chest voice. If you get into trouble working with chest you can also use falsetto to bring ease and balance back.
@@Cjay0417 Oh, I know. Back in 2015 I completely destroyed my voice to the point where I couldn't even speak for about 6 weeks. It took me years to build it back up, during which time I often thought it was gone forever, and it's still growing now! But build it back I did, to a great extent by using these kind of exercises.
