Chin -=--- tucked in or pushed out?

Curious about my chin.. Ive been told singers are supposed to look up and out you know, never lookking down when singing, but I kinda sing like that dude from Staind "down and out kinda emo lol"... what do yall think about chin placement?

I think either extreme is detrimental to singing freely and comfortable.

If you put your chin right down, it's kind of cutting off something there...but if you lift it right up so you're looking at the ceiling, it's also cutting off your throat quite a lot.

Just have fairly good, but relaxed, posture, and have your face sort of looking straight ahead. Any slight angle downwards or upwards is fine I think.

yep chin down you will be cutting of the flow, and when you sing it should be relaxed and not trying to sing with your throat if you knwo what i mean, you can hit notes better and hold notes if you sing with your stomatch (a lot of singers give me this advice too lol) not to mention it will sound so much better! i try to use my throat as little as i can, because i began to notice teh restrictions

neither, loose

sing ya-ya scales with your jaw dropped and your finger on your chin. if it moves your doing it wrong

Get a chin job. A jay-leno chin would really help project your voice.

+1 BRO

Ideally, your jaw is as loose as possible and more or less parallel to the floor (i.e. don't tilt your head too far up or down).
