I really appreciate your thoroughness with you videos. I've tried to find the video on resonance but couldn't find it. I would love to sing with more depth and resonance. I've never had singing lessons before. I'm 48years old. I don't know if that matters of not. You tell me. The only singing I've ever done has been in my car. Until now. I found a voice teacher close to where I live but I'm not getting what I need and am not sure she's being completely honest. My voice teacher (I've had three lessons) said I have a big range and that I'm a mezzo soprano. I've been told to open my mouth like a yawn to lift my soft palate and get my uvula out of the way. With a quick breath I can do that but then my tongue gets in the way and I can't keep my uvula out of the way. I still have my tonsils and adenoids if that makes a difference. Is there a remedy for this? Do you have any tricks for this problem? Also, how do you relax your jaw to the extent of Pavarotti to get that beautiful sound?? Any help is appreciated.

I would like to find voice coach who knows what they're doing and has the backbone to tell the truth. If you're that coach please contact me. Thanks...

Thanks for commenting. I did a bit of research for you and found some systems that might be of use to you. This is an Aussie website and I'm not sure where you are from, but it might give you an idea of price. Here is the link: http://www.merrylandsmusic.com.au/MerrylandsMusic/PA/portablepa.htm Ian Hi Jestina. Thanks for commenting.

I've been a gospel singer for years and sort of got out of the "solo singing" area and your lessons are blessing. I have a high voice and the exercises on extending has been great to brush up on high notes. Any info on purchasing the best type of mobile all in one systems and mics will be helpful. I sing in churches a lot small to to medium size and find that the mic systems are usually not very good. I would love to purchase something that will be easy to roll in, that has cd player(for accompaniment tracks) mic and speakers all in one,that I can plug in and be ready to sing without concern of mic systems.Any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

You have truly inspired me with your life story. My ambition is to become a professional singer and now that I have read this I know I will never give up. I'm in a band called 2 and a 1/2 Indian(Me being the half) and we have a 1 hour gig coming up in July which is great!...for us anyway, maybe not for the audience but we'll still have a good time. Do you have any performance tips? AJ :D Hello!

Thanks a lot for considering my post! Very much appreciated. I will certainly wait for the promised video "cry or sob sound to the voice" to smooth the register break from chest to mix voice. Once again, more power and God bless! Aim :) Ciao Ian!

You are most welcome. I am very grateful for my life and this website and the content I provide is my way of giving back to others. I actually did a vocal workshop a few months ago with someone from a Gregorian chant choir. (I was participating not conducting the workshop) Very interesting structure to the sound. The register break from chest to mix voice can become smoother by adding a cry or sob sound to the voice. It's a little hard to demonstrate via text so I will add this to my "to do" video list :) Ian Ciao Aim!

I'm from Italy. I found your video in one the american vocal coach sites and i said to myself, "let me see this one", from then on I got stuck with you. Thanks a lot for your generosity in giving us loads of free information(which others are too greedy to share), to help us improve our voice. BTW, i'm a religious friar and i really love to sing in the church and in our choir during our prayer time (we chant our psalms in gregorian), but i have a problem with my throat. My voice kind a crack when i change register from chest to mix voice. I couldn't smoothly maintain the register change. Any suggestions? Applying your vocal tune up and warm up has helped a lot. I have shared you too to my confreres in other community so that when they have their music practice they would apply your vocal warm ups. Thanks a lot again. God bless and more power! Ciao Ian!
