Breathing exercise 1
In these two videos I’m trying to reconstruct the first breathing exercise — both the first and second phases. I’m not sure whether I’m doing it correctly or if I’m taking too large an inhale. I still don’t have a sense of relaxation during the inhale; it feels like my breath isn’t low enough to feel an air cushion — it feels too high, lifting my sternum and creating pressure on the glottis. Also, I’m not sure where I should feel the air leaving on the exhale, i.e., where the body should squish

Become A Liptrill Master
Lip trills look simple. But doing them really well is not. The quality matters. If your lip trill is unstable, pressed or collapsing, you are training the wrong coordination. A good liptrill needs steady airflow, relaxed lips, and no unnecessary tension in jaw, neck or tongue. This is exactly why I make ALL my students do them. Beginners, semi-professionals and professionals. Yes, I "torture" everyone with it because you can train and prepare so many essential things with this one exercise. If you do it correctly, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have. You can also take another look at Chapter 3 in my ONLINE MASTERCLASS where I show you exactly how to work with it in details.

Breathing exercises 1. from the GP Masterclass
I still have some uncertainties about the first breathing exercise. So the exercise is done on the sound "ssss" by holding it as long as I finish a phrase of an aria/song/Lied I chose? And I repeat that for every phrase until the end of the aria? And between those, is there the reflexive inhalation? Or?
Technique
Hello, I’m excited to be here. Last May I hired a voice coach. I’ve been singing my whole life but realized I had been straining and my voice getting tired. I knew I wasn’t breathing properly or sighing properly. My voice coach is professional, talented & patient. Watches how I do the things… I cant do weekly lessons so I do monthly. I get a recap of the lesson with homework. I know myself and know I get busy with work and life, I don’t practice enough. I’ve been working on breathing techniques and hitting my highest note- I think it’s a C#5. I’m somewhere between a tenor and contralto. Working on Singing AH - 5 Tone scale, droopy, MUH 135 Dopey-placement is an area I’ve been really working hard on. Any tricks or tips is much appreciated. Thank you!
