It's so nice to see you back on your channel Julia! I've been missing your teaching and your interviews. I love your insightful, kind and nourishing style of teaching. I also appreciate how you interview your guests in a way that is beneficial to us, your viewers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously!!!!!!! Big hug from Toronto, Canada.
Excellent presentation! Your explanations are so well thought out and masterfully articulated. This is the first time I've visited your channel, and I'm already a subscriber! I am looking forward to absorbing more of what your intelligent, and creatively expressive spirit has to offer. Thank you, Julia 🙏
Fantastic explanation. Something here was completely new to me. And that was when you talked about the thick and thin fold. Thank you for sharing so generously.
Wow! Fascinating approach! I can’t even begin to imagine how far I am from ever achieving this, though. One rather baffling problem for me is running out of air no matter how soft and nonbreathy I try to hum. That can’t be right. Anyway, with the hiss it seems to work like it should.
I just found you now you absolutely cleared my confusion about appogio. Thanks so much you are amazing . And please make a video on how to develop vibrato if someone doesn't have by birth 😭😭
I am a bit confused… does this mean there is no muscle that needs to be tensed while singing? It is all just about air flow control which happens naturally? When I do the hissing exercises, I don’t feel any muscles doing anything in my abdominal area. Thanks so much! 🙏
Hi! So, the understanding of support is a bit complicated, and has to be felt, guided, and adjusted as your singing develops. In general, I would say absolute beginners may need to work on physical (abdominal and intercostal engagement), while advanced and professional singers may need to learn to resist the urge to engage too much subglottic pressure with the use of the abdominals. When you hiss, you should try to feel a light engagement in the abdominal muscles. Also, if you feel your lower ribs expand outwards, try singing and maintaining the sense of expansion. Let me know how that works for you!
