Arden? I think that I have told you before. The way that you tell people what they need to hear, as opposed to what they want to hear, really reminds me of my husband's personality! I think that you both do this because you want to help people become the best version of themselves. ...Not everyone likes to hear constructive criticism. Myself, I am grateful when people show me that they care enough about me to tell me the unsugarcoated truth. It is a tool for growth! Thank you, Arden! Love, Susan

This was a really good explanation and demonstration on supported singing. Definitely helps hitting the higher notes and for having less strain on the voice. Thanks!!!!

Hi, Arden! I wanted to say, this video has completely helped me! I think that I unknowingly had tongue tension. In these last couple of days, I have actually been putting the tip of my tongue in that pocket between my lower lip and bottom teeth. If you think of a pocket of air under your top lip, it is possible to do lip trills with your tongue behind your lower lip. It just takes a slightly faster stream of air to keep your lips vibrating. I am touching my neck to make sure that I don't start to push and create tension. This is undeniably working for me! It is basically teaching me how to change pitch using my breath support NOT tongue tension. I have discovered in the last couple of days that you can relax your tongue forward, relax your jaw down and back at the tmj joint, and raise your soft palate up all at the same time! For me, it works to imagine my tongue getting progressively longer and more relaxed the longer I sing the phrase. In my mind, it is almost like the down and out movement of my abdominals pulls my tongue down and out ever so slightly. And, an added benefit? I don't have to think SOOO much about one continuous motion until I release and let the air come in for the next phrase. I hope that this comment will help someone in your collective, Arden! THANK YOU so much!!! Love, Susan

I feel like you “really spoke to me” after watching this. Your teaching style works well for me. I have a rare range and have struggled w/lessons and technique for 30 years. My voice needs you! Haha

So true queen!!!!

Arden? Do you want to know something amazing? I have been going to counseling. My therapist has taught me how to put up firm boundaries, and my whole energy has changed. I have also realized that fear is a choice. Instead of being afraid, you can choose to see how good things have come out of bad situations. By not allowing fear to control you, it frees you up to love people for their potential, wholeheartedly! This feeling of happiness just because they are who they are would not be dependent on what happens in the future. By doing this work, focusing on growth BECAUSE you have gone through the sh** storms of life (Yes, you are absolutely right about owning it!), the process is helping my singing as well! I thought you would like to know this! Take care. Love, Susan

Can this be applied to contemporary music @ArdenKaywinVocalStudio

I am an amateur Open Mic singer who gets terrified sometimes!!! I am taking singing lessons to alleviate that concern. I am much better since the videos on my channel and I am grateful I had a career in computers that I relied on financially. My nephew however is working to make it in the Entertainment field as a piano player/writer/performer of musicals, one man shows like THe Exorcist: An Operetta and Screamin' In The Rain. He went to Berklee for a year and got a $50 thousand dollar reciept for that!!! It's a tough business to crack!!! I am glad you are helping people in that endeavour!!!

Hi! I think I understand. Are you talking about letting it happen? Going into that place of trust, that you, with your life experiences, were put into this world for a reason? Maybe other people can grow, because your life, and your choices, helped them to see things differently. Maybe even learn from your mistakes. All of this would have nothing to do with proving your talent to the world. By all means, keep practicing, and keep growing through your challenges in life. But, when you sing, just allow the energy of the universe (or as I see things, God) to sing through you to make the world a better place, and heal people. Is this what you meant? Thank you so much for making this video!! Take care. Susan

Arden? I have a very technical question to ask. When you stick your tongue out of your mouth and siren on an a as in cat 🐈, should there be a dip in the middle of your tongue? Or, should it be slightly arched? I just watched my tongue in a mirror, and mine is arched. Is that correct? Or, does it not matter, as long as you are thinking one continuous motion down and out with your support? Thank you in advance, Arden! Take care. Susan

💯% accurate. I’m a voice teacher in Australia and it’s the number one thing I make sure my students understand and learn how to do - everything else is built on top of correct breath support. Correct INHALE / release, is a SEPARATE thing and must be done correctly BEFORE engaging the support muscles. Such a relief to know there’s at least one other teacher out there in the world who knows the importance of this. I can’t tell you how many students arrive for their first lesson with me … who have had lessons with other so called “singing teachers” who have not taught them this fundamental technique. Great work you’re doing here on You Tube, Arden. 👏

I still keep learning even after doing the Intensive. Thank you.

Hello. Can I confirm that it is $499 for a 3hr workshop with multiple others?

Time of the training Please contact me send me what I need I'm going there.

Arden!!! Expect an email! I was watching the replay of your Bootcamp yesterday, and something you said suddenly made sense. It clicked! I felt my body set. I WAS the beach ball! It made sense! *victory dance* Take care. Susan

Great stuff

Hi, Arden! I'm going back over our Appoggio Bootcamp replay from a year and a half ago! I think that it is good to go back to basics. Get back to how we produced a resonant sound as a baby, crying for hours without getting hoarse! I wanted to say to anyone who is thinking about doing this coming Bootcamp- for me it was worth every penny. It enabled me to help a friend of mine who had been told by a professional to never sing again. Knowing that we use our vocal cords even when we speak, I gave my friend a shortened version of Arden's appoggio bootcamp. My friend understood! It helped her!

Great explanation. Really appreciate that Italian word. Passage. Nice.

Obviously air is only ever in the lungs, can you please explain the concept of breathing from your side/waist as you demonstrated. Is it purely a visualization thing? to bring attention to certain muscles?

So helpful! Thank you

Yes. God gives us really great downloads.

PIANO and voice

Hmmm. I wonder if I should start to accompany myself on my piano keyboard. I AM starting to get the feeling of bringing my singing voice to me. And, playing the keyboard might get me out of my own head as I'm singing, as you said. It might help me to get out of my own way, and let the voice sing through me better... Thanks so much, Arden!! Take care. Susan

This is excellent singing instruction. I notice the difference in support as I follow along. Thank you for that. I see now how Ian Gillan got his high notes in the song Child In Time!! In this video you can see his posture and his appogio as he gets to his huge crescendo notes in his Tenor Passagio singing that the Royal Opera House calls it. ruclips.net/video/OorZcOzNcgE/видео.htmlsi=dyvJ_82XNrwc7OZ1

Mind Body and Spirit!!!! The Greek Philosophy to a happy life!!!!! Thanks from Canada!!!

I just screw up all the time and then when I get it right people are delighted

Lol! I remember! I gave a recital every year when I was at my first school. And, I messed up the words (usually when I was singing in a foreign language) one time during each recital! For me, I focused on NOT showing it in my body language! I pretended "Yep! That's exactly how it was supposed to go!" ;D ...You might get a kick out of THIS one! When I auditioned for AGT several years ago with "Let There Be Peace On Earth" I discovered part way through that I had my glasses on. BIG no, no! I was dressed in Renaissance costume, and they didn't even HAVE glasses back then! I said "Oh, CRAP! I've got my glasses on!" I took them off, put them down, and kept right on singing without missing a beat! LOL! If you can't laugh at yourself, there really isn't anyone to laugh at! Take care, Arden! Love, Susan Edit- Arden? I remembered what you said about Thomas Edison learning 1,000 ways how NOT to make a light bulb in my practice session this morning! You can learn from your mistakes! In so doing, I thought about perpetual motion in both the container of support and the tallness and resonance of the vowel. My goal was to just be a witness to this through my body. Not letting myself disrupt it. I counted. I was singing 16 to 20 second phrases! Its coming together! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Good advice. Thank you!😊

Implode!

implode!

Thanks for the info

Go to the data….not the drama…..ouch

This is very helpful, thank you!!

Hi, Arden! It is a huge coincidence that you are talking about this stuff today! Several days ago, I dreamed that I was back at my first music school. I dreamed that people misinterpreted my motivation. My husband stood up for me, and said I am who I am. A few minutes later, Mister Man (our son) was inside the music building! We were all going to eat pizza together! ...I interpreted my dream as meaning that way back then, I didn't really know who I was. I thought that grand opera was what I wanted out of life. I hadn't realized as of yet what my TRUE purpose in life is. To make a difference in the world. ...I think that the reason why both my husband and our son were in my dream is because me and my husband try to help each other to become the best version of ourselves. We also try to help those Precious Little Ones become the best version of themselves. My GREATEST wish is for people who I love to learn from my mistakes! Have I gone through trying times? Yes. Maybe I had to go through those things to reach other people who are going through similar things... Thanks for making this video! Have a wonderful day tomorrow with your daughter! Take care. Love, Susan

Hello Ms. Kaywin, Thank you gorgeous for your time to share this very impressive and clear demonstration of a glimpse showing your rich understanding of practical scientific principles and immediately effective results which are glaring when shown in comparison. After hearing so many false principles and wasting my time and dollars, time has revealed the elite expert in this field -bar none. I will share this video. I will direct all serious performers to your mentorship for mastery!

The same as “ Inhalare”, is it not?

You are a revelation Arden. A speaker of the truth.

In vocal pedagogy….your one of the very few that really knows what their talking about. In admiration

Implode.

Ingo Titze would disagree

Fabulous teaching

implode!

Wow- I never connected the two phrases Imposter syndrome =self doubt I have come a long way over the years in working through this. Technique from past vocal lessons greatly helped yet it was mainly my mindset that needed trained. I have finally worked through stage fright and am working toward being comfortable singing in coffee shops. Firm technique and being able to rely on the voice did wonders for my confidence. Past lessons came to fruition in your present workshops. I look forward to more workshops!

Sounds like Bel Canto! 😊

Implode!! I’ll be present to this when singing. thank you. Xx

I dont even know what your talking about, imploding. It doesn't say HOW

Implode

THIS! Implode!! Exactly what suddenly made sense the way you explained it during your workshop! It's completely a game changer! Thank you so much, Arden! Love, Susan Edit- Arden? I was experimenting with the "sensation" of implode just now. For me, it was like my voice traveled upwards through my legs and torso, and up, and over the back of my head. IS this feeling what I should be aiming for? I thought to myself "inhale, continually inhale my voice upwards though my body in an open channel..."

Implode!!

Implode! I’ll try it tonight when I sing my high C’s during Mary Poppins. 😉
