0:00I set out to make this voice training
0:01video the one I wish I had 5 years ago
0:03it will cover everything you need with
0:05each step we go over setting up the neck
0:07I'll also be time stamping the video so
0:08in the future if you want to review
0:10specific areas you can be sure to
0:12approach this lesson while not
0:13overexerting yourself take breaks and
0:15drink water as needed right let's begin
0:18introduction resonance sound is made up
0:20of vibrations those vibrations and voice
0:22are determined by two primary things
0:25your vocal cords as well as space
0:27fortunately the main reason why your
0:28voice may be deep is due to space and
0:30that is very much able to be modified
0:32the space we're looking to reduce is in
0:34your throat and your mouth as this is of
0:36course where your voice travels through
0:37and important note is no matter how deep
0:39your voice is you can achieve a passable
0:41female voice because this space can be
0:43reduced through practice so space is
0:45resonance and modifying your vocal cords
0:47is pitch we want to avoid changing our
0:49pitch because utilizing your vocal cords
0:51can become a crutch that hinders your
0:53training as well excess use of your
0:55vocal cords can cause strain and or
0:57damage and by excess use I mean trying
0:58to speak in a very high pitch for long
1:00periods of time instead we want to build
1:02our foundation utilizing resonance and
1:05then apply pitch to a much lesser degree
1:07when that Foundation is set introduction
1:09part two simplified Theory there are
1:11three main areas in this video we will
1:13focus on the larynx mouth space and
1:16specific muscles in the throat first we
1:18need to raise the larynx this requires
1:20using muscles that you fortunately use
1:22everyday so surely it's not impossible
1:24however what's difficult is learning how
1:26to use these muscles outside of their
1:27normal function which is to swallow this
1:29the second primary component is mouth
1:31space modified mainly by your tongue to
1:33reduce space in other words resonance
1:35the back of your tongue should be lifted
1:36up towards your mouth while not quite
1:38touching and the rest of your tongue
1:40should be relaxed and the final primary
1:41component is muscles in your throat now
1:43the larynx being lifted uses its own set
1:45of muscles however the ones I will show
1:47you outside of those are just as
1:49important section two focused exercises
1:52introduction each of these exercises are
1:54vital for setting you up for Success
1:56because of this during the exercises I
1:58will use my deeper voice to work beside
2:00you it's a common misconception that
2:01these individual pieces will make you
2:03sound more feminine when in fact they
2:04all need to come together but before you
2:06skip to the end to see the combination
2:08we need to work on and understand each
2:10individual piece so that we can do so
2:11successfully and again I set up all
2:13exercises to build up to the next making
2:15this as accessible as possible section
2:17two part one layings control exercise
2:21one explore let's start with an
2:22exploration exercise we can do this by
2:25swallowing importantly don't hold the
2:27swallow because that can do harm instead
2:29pay attention how the muscles in your
2:30throat move when swallowing like you
2:32would normally like I said earlier you
2:34use these muscles every day so that
2:36means we just need to learn how to use
2:37them outside of a swallow you may be
2:39able to do this immediately by clenching
2:41the lowest areas of your tongue let's
2:43give it a try together clench the lowest
2:45area of your tongue if you clench this
2:47area properly you will feel the base of
2:49your tongue raise as well as the larynx
2:51if you're not sure exactly where you
2:52should be clenching place the tip of
2:53your tongue to the bottom corner of your
2:55mouth behind your bottom teeth if done
2:57correctly the portion of your tongue in
2:58the back of your mouth will raise up and
3:00you will feel your throat raise up and
3:02back similar to how when you swallow
3:04layings control exercise two hissing
3:06this video will repeat some things from
3:08my last videos but it builds upon them
3:10and is by far more value for your time
3:12make a gentle hissing sound like a cat
3:14this will be achieved by passing air
3:16through your throat and your mouth as
3:18well to achieve the hissing sound you'll
3:19need to raise the back of your tongue
3:21similar to how we did in the last
3:22exercise when
3:24doing okay sorry about that when doing
3:27so try to raise the tone of that hissing
3:29sound you will immediately realize that
3:31to do so you need to shrink the space in
3:33your throat and your mouth let's do it
3:37together make sure you're clenching the
3:39very base of your tongue and if that
3:41feels difficult place the tip of your
3:42tongue to the back of your
3:46teeth if done correctly your tongue
3:48should look like this shrinking the
3:49space in the back of your mouth and near
3:51your throat laryn control exercise three
3:53humming the humming exercise again will
3:55work off our past exercises just follow
3:58me and we can get through this together
3:59just relax yourself for a moment and
4:01when you do begin to hum initially
4:03you'll feel the hum in your chest area
4:06what we want to do is raise that hum
4:07into the head region let's do that part
4:09together deep voice reveal let's go okay
4:12yo
4:17yo you'll feel the vibration from your
4:20chest up to your head which does feel
4:22funky then you bring it back down to
4:23your chest let's do it one more time but
4:25this time we're going to stop at the
4:26head and continuously try to raise the
4:28tone in fact try try to bring it up into
4:30the nose region or as close as you
4:32comfortably can then try once again to
4:34clench the lowest parts of your tongue
4:36just like earlier AKA try to raise your
4:40[Music]
4:44larynx that siren sound is me clenching
4:47the tongue fun fact we got to fun fact
4:49the previous three steps can work in
4:51building foundations not only for your
4:52larynx but your mouth space and throat
4:54muscles as well they make a great
4:56warm-up exercise and I recommend doing
4:58them daily if not for every vocal
5:00session larynx bonus exercise mewing meu
5:04is something you can do while out and
5:05about to strengthen necessary muscles
5:07and skills now usually the idea behind
5:09this is people trying to change their
5:10face shape but for us we're going to try
5:12and raise our laryn for that reason
5:14we're not going to have to apply a lot
5:15of pressure when doing this let me tell
5:17you how to do this now first keep your
5:19mouth closed second flatten your tongue
5:21against the roof of your mouth but again
5:23don't strain Yourself by overexerting
5:25Third Place the tip of your tongue right
5:26behind your upper teeth and fourth hold
5:28in place for however long you feel as
5:30comfortable the idea behind this is that
5:31you can build your muscles throughout
5:33your daily activities larynx muscles
5:34take the longest to train so this can
5:36seriously speed up your process applying
5:37gentle pressure with the rear of your
5:39tongue will benefit your larynx as
5:40opposed to the forward areas of your
5:42tongue section three mouth space the
5:44good news is the previous lessons you
5:46may have realized already gave us a
5:48solid foundation in that I mean the
5:50exercises we did to raise our larynx
5:52actually raised our tongue to roughly
5:54where it'll want to be as well but let's
5:55refine mouth space exercise one key an
5:58exploration exerc exercise to get a
6:00better understanding on tongue placement
6:02we will use the word key so we're going
6:04to say key but at the very end on the e
6:06sound clench your tongue here's what's
6:08happening when you hold the E position
6:09the rear portion of your tongue lifts up
6:11while the front stays relaxed which is
6:13exactly what we want here as well your
6:15tongue will be right in the neighborhood
6:16of where it should be which makes this a
6:18great way to gauge your tongue
6:19positioning so we're going to do it
6:21together but first we want to make sure
6:22that we don't clench the tongue to the
6:23point where it's pressing to the roof of
6:24our mouth we will want to actually
6:25clench quite lightly and second it's not
6:27going to sound any different when we
6:29speak but we do want to try and aim for
6:31that position of the tongue when we
6:32speak down the road all right yo key
6:34clunch yeah you can kind of hear it's
6:36like a little bit maybe not so different
6:39but that's fine that's fine once all
6:40these things come together down the road
6:42you'll begin to sound more like this for
6:43sure melt space exercise two whispering
6:46now the tongue isn't the only part we
6:48need to worry about the amount you open
6:49your mouth and jaw matters too I know
6:51this sounds like a lot of small details
6:53to keep track of but follow along and
6:55you'll see how well they can work
6:56together by the end for now let's just
6:58focus on this exercise first let's
7:00repeat the word key holding our position
7:02of the tongue once again this time we
7:04will whisper two words we will say key
7:07seriously our goal is to whisper this
7:09word while keeping the tongue in
7:10position try it with me okay yo yo yo
7:14key seriously key seriously key
7:17seriously if you're wondering why I say
7:18yoyo it's cuz it helps me get to that
7:20deeper range cuz yeah anyway carry on
7:23key clench the tongue key seriously key
7:26seriously key seriously train your
7:29tongue being being in position where it
7:31is when you clench the word at e during
7:33the key word if you're saying that and
7:35the back of your tongue is lifted up and
7:36not dropping down you're doing it
7:38correctly the goal of this exercise is
7:40to get used to speaking with your tongue
7:42lifted and your mouth and jaw not moving
7:44too much and the next session is throat
7:45muscles so pretty soon all of this is
7:47going to come together section three
7:50throat muscles your throat muscles are
7:52also going to need to be trained as well
7:54again this is going to leap frog off our
7:56previous lessons so you're already more
7:58prepared than you may think throat musle
7:59exercise one yawn then sigh you actually
8:02have control as to where your voice
8:04resonates we did this earlier with the
8:05hum but now we will hone in on this idea
8:08we're going to start with the yawn but
8:09when we exhale we're going to Exhale
8:11with a sigh when you're sighing make a
8:13quiet sound with your voice as quiet as
8:15possible and as high in the throat as
8:18possible not in the mouth nor the chest
8:21but focusing on the rear of your mouth
8:23and the nasal passage area here are some
8:25examples of resonance in the different
8:27areas first the chest which we will
8:29avoid
8:33why this sound so stupid Oh no I'm going
8:37to keep it in there second the forward
8:40area of the mouth which we will avoid
8:43oh finally the upper throat and nasal
8:46passage
8:47area you'll notice the sound is just a
8:50little bit brighter when sighing in that
8:52area you may also notice when trying to
8:54make the sound in the upper throat and
8:56nasal passage area certain areas of your
8:58throat gently Flex this is good this is
9:00exactly what we want again throat
9:02muscles play a huge role in how soft
9:04your voice is it's important however to
9:06utilize these muscles with the usage of
9:08sound and shifting resonance as opposed
9:11to consciously thinking of those areas
9:13because again we want to avoid strain
9:15and ultimately following the sound will
9:17make it much more natural to achieve
9:19success throat muscles exercise 2 sigh
9:22speak now let's move on to the next step
9:24sigh then speak then sigh our goal is to
9:27start with the Sigh ensuring the
9:29resonance is in the upper throat nasal
9:31area then slowly shift into speech then
9:34back to aigh for Simplicity we will use
9:36the phrase key seriously again here's
9:39what it will look like key
9:42seriously key seriously specifically the
9:45humming exercise going up and down and
9:47up and down is going to give you a lot
9:49of benefit for the throat muscles
9:50overall but now it's time to bring all
9:52of this together section four
9:54combination
9:56exercises everything we worked on up
9:58until now will come to play here but
10:00just as much they will always be there
10:01for revision if you ever need or get
10:03lost for now let's do our first
10:05combination exercise section three
10:08exercise one un the UN technique is
10:11going to seamlessly marry everything we
10:13just did into one exercise it has
10:15multiple steps and will require proper
10:17control of your breath so be sure to
10:19breathe through your nose and take a big
10:21inhale before you try it I'm going to
10:22walk you through it without me doing it
10:24myself and then after I'll do it with
10:26you first start with the hum and bring
10:28it to your head second hold any tension
10:30that you have and inhale through your
10:32nose be sure not to apply any more
10:34tension than your body has already
10:35applied third sigh in the back of your
10:37throat while clenching your tongue
10:39fourth
10:42say now I'm going to do it with you
10:44first start with the hum and bring it to
10:46your
10:50head second hold any tension and inhale
10:52through your
10:54nose third sigh in the back of your
10:56throat while clenching your tongue
11:00fourth say un while gently clenching the
11:04tongue here's what's happening when we
11:06do this when you bring the hum up into
11:08the head your throat muscles will work
11:10on lifting the resonance then when you
11:11sigh and clench your tongue you lock
11:13that in and third Ang is going to not
11:16only bring your tongue into position
11:17even more but also raise your larynx due
11:20to the tension required in your tongue
11:21to make the sound it may take some trial
11:23and error but try it a few times until
11:25you connect these pieces together but
11:27we're not done yet honestly we have a
11:29few more things to do first of all we're
11:31going to repeat this but we're going to
11:32add the phrase key seriously at the very
11:34end so let's do this one more time first
11:37start with the
11:39hum bring it into the head second hold
11:41any tension and inhale through your
11:43nose third sigh in the upper area of
11:46your throat and Nal region fourth
11:50say five key seriously so it'll look
11:54like
11:58this
12:03key seriously key seriously your goal
12:05with this exercise is to eventually say
12:07more than two words also this is going
12:09to take time as certain muscles need to
12:11develop on top of this your ability to
12:13control these muscles needs to develop
12:15as well that concludes the exercise
12:17portion of this video but we're not done
12:20because now we need to set you up for
12:21Success section five set yourself up for
12:24a success your practice sessions should
12:26start with warm-ups this will help ease
12:27your muscles into sessions but also help
12:29ref find the tools you need to have an
12:31effective session of practice your
12:33practice sessions should look like this
12:35first start with a warm-up exercise
12:37Second Use the UN technique with a key
12:39seriously phrase third try to refine the
12:41sound of this phrase fourth use this
12:43framework to work into saying longer
12:45sentences over time step five when
12:47you're confident about saying longer
12:48sentences try to do so while imitating
12:51another female's voice section five part
12:53two recording to truly maximize your
12:55skill you need to record your voice a
12:58few things about this before you throw
12:59me across the room one it's the only way
13:02to truly know if you're making progress
13:04two if you save your best sound samples
13:06you can refer to these at the beginning
13:07of sessions so you don't lose your
13:09progress in other words if you imitate
13:11your own voice your muscles will click
13:13into place as opposed to having to ref
13:15find that progress this will Skyrocket
13:17your progression and also reduce the
13:19time it takes to find your foundation
13:21and if you find that difficult that's
13:22natural honestly we all hate this part
13:24of the process but just think to
13:26yourself this isn't how you're going to
13:27sound at the end of it this is this is
13:29you learning and growing like you don't
13:31judge a pizza until it's cooked Out the
13:33Oven right you know when the person's
13:34spinning it and stuff you don't you
13:36don't tell the pizza guy that the pizza
13:38sucks do you if you do you should stop
13:41doing that section five part three
13:43follow the sound when I say follow the
13:45sound I don't mean necessarily record
13:47your voice although that is incredibly
13:49important what I mean is when you're
13:50trying to achieve your voice think about
13:52the sound don't think about the
13:54independent muscle ultimately your body
13:56knows how to achieve these sounds much
13:58better than you do consciously so you
14:00want to train muscle memory in these
14:02exercises that's where you think about
14:04the muscles themselves but when you're
14:06utilizing them and trying to speak you
14:08want to think about the sound
14:09specifically section five part four
14:11Foundation phrase when practicing having
14:13a foundation phrase can help too
14:15repeating the same phrase for every
14:17session will train muscle memory pretty
14:19quick another huge benefit is outside of
14:21practice you can use your foundation
14:23phrase to get right back on track if you
14:25ever feel lost with how you might sound
14:26it's been 5 years and I still use my
14:29Foundation phrases in fact I have one
14:31for each character I voice section five
14:33part five extra stuff things like your
14:36posture breath application and breath
14:39control as well as pitch can help but
14:41only if and when you have built the
14:43foundation of resonance also it's really
14:46important to point out that when you are
14:48trying to do things like clenching your
14:50tongue etc etc there is a point where
14:52you're doing it too much you don't want
14:54to overexert yourself but also if you do
14:56it too much you actually block Airways
14:58and make it impossible to speak part six
15:01important notes make sure you don't flex
15:03the muscles in your face this is a very
15:04common mistake a lot of people do make
15:06sure not to accidentally use pitch when
15:08training resonance specifically and
15:10don't try to use pitch in compensation
15:12of resonance like pitch won't really
15:14ever need to be adjusted to sound
15:16possibly female like once you're up
15:18there you can bring it down really deep
15:20and actually sound like a CIS woman
15:22trying to sound like a guy and then you
15:24can bring up even higher to sound even
15:26more bright in the voice but I mean my
15:29vocal cords are quite neutral when I'm
15:30speaking I'm just using the muscles for
15:32resonance and once again take breaks as
15:35needed seriously do not over exert
15:37yourself the last thing you want to do
15:39is damage yourself final thoughts no
15:41matter how difficult this may seem
15:44progress is very much possible with
15:46consistent effort it may take time but
15:48if you don't give up you will get there
15:51however I urge you not to wait for the
15:53Times where you feel like doing it or in
15:55other words feel motivated motivation is
15:57the emotional response to an exciting
16:00idea and discipline is the practice that
16:02will get you to that idea and discipline
16:05is best defined by setting out a path
16:07for yourself and doing it even when you
16:09don't feel like doing it being
16:10consistent working through something as
16:12difficult as this is a testament to your
16:14character and while you achieve your
16:16passable voice you can also build
16:18resilience in nature the ability to not
16:21give up the ability to fight for what
16:23you want in life thank you for watching
