Questions! (I'm only working on the first part so far) - Should we narrow our mouths to funnel the air? I find it tough to stop my mouth filling up with excess air keeping it relaxed. - Should we work our way down with straw sizes? Should I start with regular straw, or a boba straw, before trying with a narrow juice-carton straw? - Is it typical for lower notes to be more troublesome? I find I'm making the lower notes without making bubbles! - Is it typical for the voice to cut out when vocalising blowing bubbles? Regardless of bubble situation. - Should we concentrate on keeping resonance in the chest, or focusing sound to feel resonance in the lips/teeth while doing this? I find my larynx wants to do all the work. Not sure if you still check these comments but thanks in advance if you do! (Or maybe someone else here has the answers?) :)

🎉🎉 😊

🖤💜🤍💙 practicing now . . .

JEEZUS your face, man!!! 😤❤️‍🔥🖤 Can't concentrate . . . Hmmm...would you happen to have maybe viking DNA ??? Somewhere from the nordics? 🤔 PS. How useful. I never knew you needed to cool down your voice, too. Should it be a specific top note or?

Wow! Icy blues! Nice!

Sorry but he's a gorgeous man.

This is Great. You r hilarious. I think I'll live longer now if i stay away from Volcanos except those on Broadway.

As someone who’s been “using straws” for almost 2 years this blew my mind. I’ve never fully got on with them and found a lot of the time I actually become more strained after using them. Turns out the whole time I’ve been using them incorrectly and making a whole load of volcanos or cutting off the air flow entirely. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in this video 🙏🏻

So interesting bc someone literally yesterday in this one woman’s vocal class asked “does flaring the nostrils help” & she said “idt so” 😂 and I thought wait I actually think it does.., nasal resonance helps so it very well could

Does this work for Dysphonia as well?

Thank you Tom for the video. Great stuff for someone like me who struggles with tension in my throat. Gracias😊

I'm not a singer, Is this exercise good just for voice speaking too?

waoh！ So great and readily exercises！ Thank you so much！！

Wow I tried the first or second exercise and was very fun, trying to keep the bubbles consistent voiceless and voice, was incredible, I know i will sing 20 times better. Can't thank you enough

That was fun! 😂😝👍🏻👍🏻

What should i use larger diameter or thinner straw for deeper manly voice?

when he said ‘oh hell no!’ I burst out laughing cause that was what I was actually doing lol

I would like to learn how to make your vibrato. Is that possible?

restaurant exercises

Why not use a candle??? Bel Canto teacher here.

super exercised, super explanation! thanks!

Lovely

Okay but should air go out from my nose when doing this? Or should I cut it from the nose?

This does not seem to be a helpful exercise for singers who experience dysphonia. I did this exactly as prescribed/described yesterday. No volcanoes. And I can’t even produce vibrato today. I have to push so hard to get sound out, and often air comes out instead. I was in much better voice yesterday. I have to cancel my studio session today. My suggestion is to find other more gentle ways to help with dysphonia as this could create more damage even when doing it correctly.

That first step was a game changer.

How do I sign up?

Brilliant explanation. Thankyou!

Hi Tom - thanks for this Content - I’ve a genuine question: Is there any plausibility.. for American 🇺🇸 speakers to adopt a more “mixed” speaking voice (speaking in a mid range pitch wise- instead of at bottom of speaking range and often into vocal fry) ?

This is NOT water, dude!

Ive been doing this since I was a kid.

Sitting here after the will ramos video. I just wanted to learn how to scream properly and now i'm just blowing bubbles into my cup xD

This is sooo good.

Genius.

Best voice exercise of the whole internet.

Very good advice! Thank you!😊

Very true. I had a friend who would talk for twenty minutes plus without breathing. If I tried to participate, they'd seem frustrated at my interruption. If I said nothing and just listened, they'd apologize for boring me. Then after their long-winded speech, they would try to involve me by asking a question really quickly. My brain would have to quickly change gears, but it was so awkward and not conducive to a nice conversation.

Thank you so much! I would like to call this skill as “hand ear monitor “ haha

Idk i love a good bad ending for the main character

Right! I ALWAYS have to remind myself of this while performing music! This channel's tips also apply to music stuff way more than I would've thought!

My adhd self all the time! 😂

what if I'm describing a hilarious story? 😅

Shut up

Very true I need these videos lol- Just subscribed lol

👍🏾

Omgggg this guy is so hilarious “Oh HELL NO” 😹🤣 effective teaching with comedy!!! I love it 🥰🤩

You had me at "no Broadway for you…"

Underrated

老师终于找到你了 非常感谢 我在学习你的方法 这对小白来说太友好了 希望以后多多出类似简单又很好的练习方法

I think what makes a very interesting story is being able to create a situation where the hero isn't clear and still make it engaging. Life is fantastical in many senses but there are no clear heros, we are all villains in some right and being able to make a protagonist that can scale that level of reality. A "hero" not so much a hero but just a man doing his best in insane circumstances.

Excellent stuff, Tom!
