Tongue relaxation is really important for achieving ease in singing. The tongue, as a powerful muscle, plays a crucial role in vocal production. When the tongue is tense or constricted, it impacts the quality and control of the voice. If we learn to relax our tongue we enhance our vocal abilities right away. :)

When your tongue is relaxed, you will gain:
- improved resonance
- clearer articulation
- greater vocal range
- effortless singing
- better vocal health

  • It's always amazing to me how small exercises like this can make such a dramatic difference almost immediately. Before I watched your video, I tried singing the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus of a song I wrote a few months ago. It sounded okay but I could tell I was struggling a little on the higher notes. After doing these tongue exercises with your video, I sang the same parts again and not only did I not struggle on the higher notes, they actually felt stronger and sounded better. Thanks! It's always nice to stumble across a vocal coach online that explains things in a way that works with my brain (many don't) and who provides exercises that are simple and effective. I'll definitely be checking out more of your vids!

    I have A LOT of tongue tension according to the last exercise. Thank you for all of this. 🙂

    Thank you sooooo much. A bout of covid in 2020 damaged my voice which was soprano and now tends to deepen like a man's voice. It takes a long time to loosen up to even sound a little more feminine but your exercise quickened that process.

    Thank you. I really felt relaxed after I tried out the exercise
  • Amazing 🤩 I have a big problem with my tongue. My tongue should workout little bit 😂
  • @pandemonic66
    I have a very weak tongue control, I can't naturally move the tip of my tongue down or roll it in any way. I can only move the tip of tongue up. I didn't know that was suppose to be the natural restilng position for my tongue as well until today from another youtube video. What you suggest for me to do to gain control the tip of my tongue to move in different positions?

    Interesting. I have no problem doing lip trills but the moment I include vowels I start to feel strain. Maybe this will fix it. I’ll try it out thx!

    Hi again, How long did it take for your tongue to Not interfere with your singing, and coordinate with your breathing. Sorry for asking so many questions. Thank you .

    Hello Thanks for the awarness of the tongue I am wondering if you have an exercise for clearing phlegm from vocal cords. I use an inhalor for asthma, and my vocal cords get covered with the powder. Thanks lu

    hi i have a song on youtube call i do i wont to know if i am singing with air flow
  • @DayneReedy
    Even though I try the ‘ah ah ah ah ah ‘ exercise going up, I get choked by my tongue and everything stops. Am I pushing too much air? It seems to be the Bain of my singing experience. Thank you.😊
  • @obando655
    I have a question about phlegm. I notice that every time I sing high notes, I start producing phlegm in my throat and it gets in the way of my singing. I know I must be doing something wrong and I don't know what it is, so frustrating.
