This is fantastic, Judy! So helpful !

Thanks for taking the time to explain the technical aspects of the exercises. This enhances the learning experience. I now know why I would falter while doing these exercises...I was oscillating between 'pushing' and 'pulling'. Now I know what I should be doing.

You have the best tutorials, Judy!:hand-pink-waving:

"Create sound by pulling open your ribcage and throat instead of pushing" This is genius. I have been listening to vocal coaches for years and I have never heard it described like that. I implemented that approach and it helps a lot thank you and be well :)
-
Excellent Exercise! This is genius, Judy!
-
THank you so much for these walkthroughs. Still trying to figure out how to "pull" rather than "push"
-
This is great, thanks

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your awesome knowledge. Greetings from Spain

Thank you so much for this clear explanation about breath support! With this pulling-set up I am now much better able to do the raspberry! Thank you for explaining!

I sometimes imagine I’m breathing in air (inhaling) while I’m singing, while I’m actually breathing it out as I sing notes. I never knew why this helped, but maybe it’s because, when I’m imagining inhaling or pulling in air, I am not as focused on PUSHING it out, so my muscles relax more and I’m able to do more with less push and less air.
-
Yes pulling is so much easier. Thank you❤
-
Very helpful, it will take me time to get my muscle memory to get it!! thank you.
-
So glad to find you. I’m learning to sing properly for the first time at 40.

Thank you so much! :) <3

My biggest challenge in singing is often not having long enough breath support. I try to take deeper breath for phrases that need long support, But still not enough. I have found it not possible for me to complete some phrases with one breath while others could without problem. I feel I must have some fundamental issues in breathing support. I do not find it helpful enough when I am told “take deeper breath at beginning of the phrase." or "breath to expand the belly using diaphragm". I tried, but still couldn't support the phrase. I guess I might have got into a corner of this breathing support problem which is very frustrating. I am going to try your exercises displayed in this video through which I hope I can improve with my breathing support challenge. Thank you for taking time to do this video!

Greetings again from the uk….you are brilliant and this exercise has made so so much difference to my higher range and the ease of singing. But the only problem is that I can not do a clean low to high lip bubble. Without it cutting out as I pull in….any ideas what I may be doing wrong.

Hi there….great videos.thank you. With this pulling method are you basically saying that as you do your sovt sound that your actively pulling your ribs etc open letting the sound go into the throat rather than forcing the sound from your throat…..if this is incorrect what should you be doing with your support. Thank you for your time.
