    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • chainer232 says:

    Your hyperventalation description is all wrong. You hyperventalate when your body takes in more Oxygen than is needed. Here’s why: You pant, and that involves mainly the upper third of your lungs. The majority of your alveoli that exchanges gasses between the lungs and the blood on the top part of your lungs. So breathing in shallow has the same effect on your blood.
    For Singing, you need as much air as possible, so breathing from the diaphram allows for the pressure strength.

  • RocktheStageNYC says:

    he’s a little incorrect in his explanation about 3:00 – the lungs do not go down in any way – they expand outward with your ribcage. His point is correct – the details are fuzzy.

    The BEST way to breathe low and wide to the waist is to sit with your elbows on your knees and breath in. Only your stomach will move. Sitting like this locks out the shoulders.

    Also try visualizing in your head that you’re breathing in with your knees. When you exhale you should feel like a deflating balloon

  • RocktheStageNYC says:

    hmm, I could have sworn I wrote vocal warrior above.

  • HomegirlOfJezu says:

    Try re-watching 2:30 – 3.15 again.

  • HomegirlOfJezu says:

    Your stomach doesn’t hold air! What happens when your stomach extends is your diaphragm (a muscle underneath your lungs) is dropping and your lung capacity gets larger.

  • HomegirlOfJezu says:

    When using this technique (a familiar one, though only when I’m singing – not just normally) I also feel a rise in my chest, although my shoulders don’t move. (Like my chest is moving out as well as my stomach). Is this right??

  • HomegirlOfJezu says:

    Really? Wow.
    I’m an alto (range from mid bass clef to F, top line of the treble stave) but I do have a break in my voice (Don’t ask me why, I am a girl, tell me voice that!). When needing to sing low or melodic soprano (and so in the top of my range) I get really dizzy sometimes. I thought this was because I wasn’t breathing properly…

  • HomegirlOfJezu says:

    Course it is, with careful work and practice. Good luck.

  • royale67 says:

    he’s a VOCAL warrior, not a physical warrior.

    0:10

    Oh! Hi!

    hahaha

  • RocktheStageNYC says:

    actually it has more to do with our voice bouncing around in our head before it leaves the mouth added with what comes out of the mouth is what we hear our voices to be.

    stick your fingers in your ears and talk – that bassy sound is added to the sound we hear – other people don’t hear that added bass – thats why our voice sound thinner on tape.

    People don’t hear that added low end we hear from the voice resonating in our heads and throat – the only hear what comes out our mouth.

  • RocktheStageNYC says:

    he doesn’t look much like a vocal “warrior” to me.

  • d4ncingsushi says:

    that helped.

  • rectumquake7 says:

    wow wtf….
    can you taste your own ass?

  • silverbeast75 says:

    jeez was that really necssesary??

  • MrKeithis18 says:

    what are you talking about??????

  • cadembanta says:

    Thats cause you have no idea how do sing, and you not hitting any notes or placing your air correctly. Faggot.

  • charityfaker42 says:

    if you sound good when you sing and sound like crap when you record you prolly are tone deff…or your ears suck at hearing lol ha

  • nashcurt says:

    the singing success videos are better

  • MrKeithis18 says:

    haha that happens to me…when i sing, i sound pretty great to myself, but when i record it, it sounds sooo terrible

  • phino says:

    yeah it’s because the way the sound travels through and how we hear, we don’t hear the way we actually sound til we record ourself and play it back, i just found this out through my Audio class this past quarter.

  • bobbyschodroski says:

    its the same for screaming

  • Bballplaya2359 says:

    hahaha yeah
