  • I always noticed that little dip in the tongue whenever I watch live performances. Now I know to let it come over time. Thanks, Ranja.

  • so i did the exercise where you hold your tongue several times and sing, and I did it and sung a high note WITH EASE. keep in mind I used to barely belt that note.

    I felt like my throat was straining, had no idea that my tongue placement was the cause of it thank you soo much for making these videos
  • I've been struggling with my larynx going down and going up for 10 months now. It makes me uncomfortable. Now I know why and it's because of tounge tension. I've been watching several videos, several vocal coach teachers but you're the one that makes my mind enlightened. Thank you for this wonderful video. You're the best❤

    Heard someone say to be sure to enunciate each individual word in order to make them more clear. It makes my voice more relaxed and flow more naturally. Changed everything. This video just took it to another level. Just under a year before my first live show. Definitely following.

  • @edenelias2at
    I love this and all of your videos and especially the fact that you said that maybe we are also doing it right ! sometimes we are so stressed on getting better, and limiting tension, that its hard to know what is actually causing it in the first place
  • @danielle9559
    its INSANE how big of a difference there is!! this video was incredibly helpful and has changed my voice for the better!! thank you so much <33
  • @violetmanthey
    YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! My voice teacher was describing where to put my tongue and how it should be going out but I couldn't figure out the right position! This helped so much and now when I sing the high note in my song it bounces off the walls!!

    I love your teaching styles. So clear! Thank you so much. I am 56 years old and singing was my newfound passion. 2 years ago when daughter quit vocal lesson after 2 sessions and had to pick up the lessons left coz they’ve been paid. From there have been watching videos for techniques. Thank you so much. You are an amazing teacher.
  • @marianaaa24
    I love how you explain things!! Thank you
  • @murbly
    Excellent video. I was most certainly not doing it right all along, and this is what sorted me out. I was getting exhausted when talking, but could sing fine, this made me understand why.
  • @heathercullen11
    This was a GREAT lesson I have to see what else you have posted. I've been teaching music for 35 years and I think my students will love hanging out on your site and learning things. Sometimes they listen to others better than the teacher! hahah I am a huge fan of RELAX and sing.
  • @jungla919

  • @amyoungil
