Do you experience throat tightness while singing or speaking? In this video, I am explaining why throat tightness happens and what exactly goes on in the throat when your throat gets tight. I will also introduce and demonstrate an exercise for throat tightness relief. It’s a very simple but effective exercise, called yawn sigh technique. You may be familiar with the use of yawn singing but is a full-blown yawn the right thing to do when singing? Watch this video to find out. I will also share a bonus tip about my favourite throat tightness treatment approach.

[hassnapapyb]

Every time I sing this happens and I love singing:(

[kenleyanderson]

I’m very glad I found this. My throat was hurting from all of the tension in my throat, but when I did this it immediately helped

[anishagupta]

This is magical...I like to sing and people like my singing but there's always that unsatisfying feeling whenever I sing because I feel my throat isn't clear or there's always some kind of things blocking my voice...tried this and saw excellent results....this is magical😊😊😊

It doesn't matter if I'm talking, singing, or doing nothing. It feels like the tension is always there.

[Gremlin]

This technique immediately fixed the issue I was having with voice strain. Thank you so much! I am majoring in Speech Pathology, and you are incredibly inspiring! It's interesting that something as "simple" as the yawning technique can help with that muscle tension so much! I'm subscribing :))

I'm commenting just for the YouTube algorithm to do it's s work. This video deserves more views. You deserve more subscribers. This really helped me!

[FionaFlyte]

I had a teacher who loved his version of this "yawn sigh" exercise. I also find it very helpful! Thank you for the reminder.

[isidoreaerys]

This is gold! Sounds like another person entered the room!

[rivulet]

I've been struggling with this issue for probably a year now (I had no idea what it was)

This is going to save my voice thank you

[haileymckinnon]

ive had tension since i was at least 8 and it would always hurt and i would struggle to speak and sing, this helped so much and my voice both sounded and felt better after doing the exercises thank you

[TheXeroxis]

Of a thosand videos, the key was the larynx and that is why I sang with tension all the time, however I can’t seem to keep that larynx on the low position. vibrato came naturally, thank you!!

[izstrella]

This is extremely helpful, especially since I enjoy singing lower more but my throat would always end up sore afterwards. Thank you!

So I'm learning to sing, but I find that rapping helps relieve my throat tension for when I sing. For me I think it's because singing seems like I'm supposed to have a whole different voice for some reason. I understand that's not the case, but rapping helps cause it is my actual voice and it's warming up all my throat muscles really. In order to rap properly you have to just let your jaw almost hang with no tension and air has to flow smoothly through your throat and off your tongue. So if you are having trouble singing I would try rapping to warm up, but don't push your air out all rough and start yelling like Eminem or NF, those two artist know what they're doing and have been doing it for years. just let it flow nicely and eventually it'll help tension all around for singing as well

I used to sing a lot for school competitions with no break so i took a 1-year/ break but now i cant reach the notes i used to reach easily, this helped me get even just a bit higher, Thank you

[mindbodylifted]

This is the first practical tip I’ve come across for voice strain. Thanks

[bamoipchingshakhu]

I unknowingly slept away doing the yawning exercise :D

[cstan]

I’m a tenor who’s struggled with throat tightness for several years. I’ve finally figured out good breath support, but my throat remains tight; so I’m going to try this and see if it works.

The famous Met Opera bass Giaiotti used a silent yawn inhale to cure his tight throat.

[weirdolover]

Wait I’m working hard enough to sing I feel so happy because I’m trying to become a singer I’m so happy!!!

[kaleahnicolecoaching]

Oh wow, I've done some of these exercises unconsciously. Thanks for sharing these.
