How Correct Tongue Posture Affects Singing: Singing with Tongue Tie, Correct Tongue Position

This is great stuff, thanks!

Thnks

When making vowels, should the tongue be touching the ridge, or near it? (While singing. Not while resting)

N8ce!

Fascinating! I had a feeling good resting tongue posture would help a voice, as every is already up. And many elite singers have very attractive, well-developed faces. No coincidence there.

What if you struggle to breath when you correct your tongue posture

The tongue muſt really be free to fourme each vowel with the tip retracted and down, and the tongue wide on euery vowel (not bunched in on the ſides). This helpeth to keep a low larynx which is neceſſary. Hauing a high tongue will make thee ſing with a high larynx which equaleth limited ſpace in the vocal track which equaleth ſmall voice. The tongue is attached to the larynx. Contrary to what people think, when the tongue tip retracteth it openeth the thꝛoat. This is why on a natural yawn the tongue tip retracteth and is down.

What was the exercise that was being attempted in the end of the video? I'd like to know for my own comparison

This is all so interesting. I have always known that I’m tongue tied and I am a professional singer for nearly ten years and I have been a performer/vocalist my entire life. I’ve never really had any issues vocally but in the last year, I’m facing vocal cracks frequently. I wonder if a lifetime on tension is wearing on me just now or what. My voice used to be completely fine and I know I hold tension. Idk what I’m getting at but I feel like I’m gagging from my tongue often. Will a op solve my problems?

While singing and opening the mouth, should we press the tongue to the top of the mouth? Because in any case there is a gap between them

IMO pushing your tongue high, and in the same sentence suggesting it's at rest, is a contradiction. I'll go try it anyway.

Does the position of the tongue change when moving from low to high notes?

a low and forward tongue, espeically if it has tendency to rest against teeth, often times is caused by a head that is too far forward, and not anything to do with weakness, but actually over compensation due to a weak/tight mandible and lack of neural feedback to keep your spine aligned from hips to head. check out PRI institutes work for more.

Can you give us an instructions how to fix these problems?

Is it normal to experience headache and discomfort in the tongue root when correcting tongue posture?

Absolute rubbish Why? Correct tongue position is learned as a result of forming vowels in chest voice. A competent teacher of the Italian school can teach this by example.

I bet you with such tongue posture you can't even sing a word.
