- Vocal tip of the day! Learn how to Whistle Tone and use your whistle register by using the smallest amount of airflow and vocal fold/cord closure. Using the Vocal Fry technique safely, you can unlock your whistle register and then learn how to build strength into it and be able to do it on command!

i used to be able to whistle notes but i realised you have to do it frequently to keep it and get stronger .
Omg same...i didn't whislte for a long time and now its already gone😔😔 rip my whistle
I stopped for years and get to use it again (ending puberty)- just learn how to access it again, like starting from making a little squeak sound and it will go from there(do not strain!).
@@ariess7394 u can regain it but it will take time just like learning it all over again
@@idk_i_justworkhere Yea cause people learn them all the time. Just gotta be diligent in trying.
omg good to know... i’m tryna learn how to do them rn
I have asthma, tried to do this and literally had to use a compressor and nebulizer filled to the brim with albuterol till I felt like I could breath again😂
I’m glad you commented this now I’m prepared for it 😂
I find a way to work around it
Okay now I’m scared 🤣🤣 I’ll keep my nebulizer close by! I haven’t warmed up my whistle register in a while 😭
I do too but I can do it 🙃
Is he breathing in or out?
I sound like a dying cat
girl me too 😭
I couldn’t relate more 😭
I think everybody does 😭😭😂😂
same here! LOL
Same sis-
Dude, I'd never dreamed about going that high! But now maybe I can :D
I was shocked when I heard that hohmgh of a note leave coming out of my mouth
I can do full Ariana save your tears whistle
same!@@uditsahu4537
A year ago i watched this 4 min video and learned how to whistle. I watched many videos explaining how to do it a none helped me understand at all. But after watching this video and 1 year of practicing and experimenting on my own without any other video I learned not only how hit them but how to do runs, staccato, and also phrase. It’s not easy by no means but this is the video i would recommend. Thank you so much Sean!!!!
Wow! Thank you so much for writing this comment! So happy you were able to discover them and get some vocal freedom out of the whistle register! Much appreciated for the feedback!
I’ve been trying this for almost a year and I still can’t reliably stay up there or move around when I hit it. I can’t tell what I’m doing wrong but I know one thing for sure is that I struggle to even sing f5 upwards without straining, and especially struggle to do it with vocal fry. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Another thing I wondered was whether I was doing the vocal fry correctly, because he said that some people just sit on top of it without supporting it, which I didn’t really understand :(
@@0mnom all I know is that I had to practice that almost everyday for months. It was the first thing I did waking up (which btw I tend to the highest when I do it right after waking up than I normally would) and I did every chance I had even when I was at work 😂 Plus, being a huge Mariah Carey fan also helps since I see what she does and learn how not only does she use them but when and why. Her musicianship on the whistle register is otherworldly and she’s a perfect artist to emulate. Being very persistent can go a long way. I hope you’re able to do it soon, don’t give up on it.
@@RegisRodriguez thanks so much! I’ll definitely try it first thing in the morning, I’ve seen so many videos where they say to practice in the morning. Hopefully I’ll get it one day lol
@@0mnom hope you do!
Mom:has the kettle boiled love?
Me:no I’m watching a vid
Mom:oh okie
Yes we can hit 5k before quarantine ends
lie
wont happen 😌
HAHAHA WHEN I TRY TO DO IT I LITERALLY SOUND LIKE A KETTLE 💀
😑😂😂😂😂😂kill me
i’ve literally been trying to sing whistle tones for years and you just taught me how to find them in four minutes omg
Woah- his whistle notes were so GOOD
Am I supposed to sound like a Dinosaur when I'm doing this 😂
😆
Eyyyyy dinosaur whistle ganngggg🦖
How do you do that? I literally feel like I'm choking
@pf008 have you improved?
practice everyday n mimic the way he does it. good luck i know everyone can do it.
@@harrypotter3365 never thought a wizard will learn how to whistle tone. Is that a new spell in the upcoming movie?
Just my experience, but you might be using too much air and/or having tension/habits of pushing the larynx up. Practice straw phonation and give the tounge and larynxs some massage and streches for a few days
My advice is to not focus on your throat. Rather than even paying attention to your vocal chords being in your throat, imagine they're in your chest. Send any tension you feel you need there and use your proper support muscles to push through that tension and out your nose. Sing with your nose and upper two thirds of your face. That sounds REALLY fucking weird ik but it works for me
EDIT: I meant that your vocal chords are in your neck/larynx area, not throat exactly. My bad
wow your whistle note sounds so good
It’s working !!!! Omg thank u so much
Oh my... I JUST DID A Bb6!!!! THAT’S MY RECORD!! Thank u so so much!!!
edit: i was so excited like what
I just did a C4 OMG
Omg I learned how to do a frickin e6
How did u know that u reach that high
@@harrisden8824 there’s an app called insTuner it’s made for instruments but it shows your vocals. i really like it
I was able to reach a G7
I've watched so many videos about how to find the whistle register and I finally found one that actually works, Thank you.😊
You're so welcome!! Glad I could help!
Brilliant video,best whistle note I have ever achieved,thank you for sharing 💕
OMGGG yoooo this made me do the whistle note reallyyy easilyyy and lightlyyy, I was literally struggling a LOT just a few minutes ago until i found this video!! Thankss
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! I finally understand how the “pressure” feels in my throat muscles! ❤️
Wow! You really know how to teach someone do learn how to do it quickly! I am not quite there yet, but much closer than others I have seen!
Tried various techniques and this is the only one that worked instantly! Thanks!
Wait, how do you tell if you do a whistle note or note. I shared a video of me doing whistle on CZcams but no one told me if I'm doing it.

Amazing tip man, thank you very much
Excellent technique best so far.
Thanks for this man. It’s awesome to hear a male voice going as high as the upper register of a violin. Now I know how it’s done!
WOW! You're great man! Thank you for these tips!
How tf u make it looks so easy 😭
Great video and great whistle!
I'm singing with him and thought I did it but realized it was him and I'm trash😂
I'm a guy and I never thought I still have a chance at whistle tones. 😭
I'm so excited to learn this. 😭😍
Thank you for sharing!!!!!! 😭🤣😊
Bro you're the best
Your underrated
Your whistle notes are crazzyy😘😘
I almost died when you modulated your whistle notesss
he's impressive that's for sure
this is very good explained
I did it!!! Thank you! 💚🥰
OH MAN YOU JUST TAUGHT ME TO FINALLY DO WHISTLE NOTES!!! SO MANY THANKS SEAN!!! SO MANY THANKS!!!
Happy to help!
OMG, Thank u, i finally can do whistles notes
he is so cute so i didn't learn a thing :)
Arianator tease
Fellow Potterhead I see 😏
@@v06261 yes you MALFOY ! XD
@@justarandomboy5773 😭💀💀
Arianator and a Potterhead I LOVE YOU
This guy is amazing !! And crazy helpful. :)
This video really helped me. Thanks
Thanks so much for the tips ❤
This is the best explanation i have heard. Minimum amount of air to produce a sustained pitch.
I was finally able to squeeze out a whistle note.
Hopefully you didn’t “squeeze” it out should feel effortless and relaxed when done correctly!
Incredible dude!
brother you are the bettest. I couldn't barely reach a C6 properly, but your video made me go up to G6. Thank you so much
Absolutely no problem!! Glad I could be of help!
Thank youuu this help me so much! I finally reached E7 !
That's awesome!! How did you get so high? I'm trying to get there someday :)
*WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?!*
Man this is hard to do!!! I don't typically use Vocal Fry (lower notes) as it sounds kind of ugly to me but this is very interesting in accessing the whistle tones! I have never found a vocal coach who showed me this technique before.
Nice vid Sean!
new subscriber here ...thanks for tutorial ...very helpful..
@2:40 when you stub your toe
Keep doing these brother! please
Dude. You. are. awesome.
Love this
I’m coming to these vids everyday ! Especially as it’s helping with my 2020 depression lol. Fuck this year , it’s been shit ! Haha
I was trying to reach any of 6th octaves but can't, so here's youtube search bars for answers.. and you are correct, vocal fry work... I did a metal vocal fry singing called pig squeal and reach F7 on a tuner, just need to hold it clean without the fry. Thanks for your videos!
I tried to whistle tone and ended screaming like a girl
🤣🤣🤣
Bro that has such good applications. Check out the song "knife prty" by deftones, 3:35-4:20. All the vocals you hear are done by the same male vocalist, and he screams like a girl at like 4:15 straight up. But I think it's one of the coolest additions to a song ever
Dude that is inSANE!
Omg, Wow this is to cool 💁🏿
4 months in, and I accidentally hit an A7 (can't hit it anymore LMAOO)
My comfort range is around C#6-G6, I usually add more pressure anywhere higher than that, but not too much that it hurts, and it's hard for me to hit anything lower than that, so my whistle range is A5-A7
I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this, but I have off days, sometimes my whistles are harder than usual days, and sometimes it's easier, but it's pretty easy to hit, it does need some light pressure but it's not really anything painful unless it's like a B6 and higher, and tbh I don't really know if my voice will improve beyond this point, but I'm just happy that I can hit them at least
Question please because I'm trying to learn the first time was it hard and did you not know how to do it and how many rest days you take in a week
@@caterpoohgalore9424 it definitely wasn't possible in my first week, but later on it improved to short squeals, but later on I was able to hold a note and I improved from there.
If you're having trouble singing along with the song, try taking your earphone out and try to match the tone of Mariah's whistles, it's pretty resonant. It does actually help me make it a bit easier
@@Kristoff2005 a year late but, i think ur A7 counts as a squeal and not apart of ur range because if u cant sustain it then its a squeal like if ur range is F2-F#7 then the A7 would be F2-F#7 (A7)
@@imsodonewithlife69 guess so, but lately, my whistles have been more difficult for me so Idk what my range is even for those little squeals
Dang he’s cute, great vid I found this helpful! 👌🏽
I got it first shot omg thank you 😭
I did it!! Your amazing lol thanks for the video
Great job! No problem!
Amazing
My whistle is so friggin high my dogs come to me when I whistle XD this helped alot
i finally found it again, thank you so much! this technique is so fucken good wow
I sound like a freaked teradactal when I do it
Keep posting
I just want my whistle register so bad 😭 my range is G3-E6. I wanna go higher..
Omg we are so similar! My highest is e6 too, but my lowest is d3.
My lowest is D1-C5
I wanna go higher but yall are too much😂
How do yall freaking know your ranges? Im dying to know mine
@@sheenaaamej
I got mine by downloading a pitch app and singing my lowest comfortable to my highest singable note then
Or use a piano
Or watch videos where they help you find it
Hope this helps
@@sbusisomanqele4318 thanks. Won't u mind sharing the name of the pitch app? Cuz i dont have pianos and stuffs. Im broke
Wow, your's sounds good
Man you're so cute and so intelligent haha thank you 😍
Gay
Handsome coach took me here 😂
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Any advice on how to do Morissette Amons’s “squeak” … so beautiful I would really love to learn 😊
got whistle tone too.. .
wtf this is impressive hahaha i admit i didnt expect this is the kind of video tthat actually shows it and not just talking about it. Also why do other videos almost never tells you to use vocal fry? it's usually the whoop and dog whimpers. I think Im gonna try this and see how it goes. You're amazing!
Much appreciated. You can’t learn as well from someone who can’t do it themselves. I’m glad I could help stay tuned for more simple helpful teaching!
Thanks Man I'm gonna apply the knowledge thank you!
It's difficult to go up and down notes in whistle register no control whatsoever. But I'll practice your technique from vocal Frye thank you so much
It's like a deflating balloon xD
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU
merci
adorable human being
What, that's sickkkkk
Love this.. 😘 never imagine whistle register can be practiced i though it is gifted only 😆
czcams.com/video/xeu12vGetds/video.html
it is. so many people learned how to whistle and able to do it. as i understand it no classification of singers are barred from whistle register because we all have it. It's just not in demand like the expert singers who can bend it to their will. it's similar to how we scream and that happened uncontrollably. These singers however can 'scream' but gently, control it and enunciate with it. It's truly a specific set of skills.
Ayo.... This works good as hell for me
Im at the awkward stage where I still sound like a hybrid between a dolphin and a seagull
More voice lesson Sean, please. More videos of yours. You're so cute doing Decode of Paramore.
Haha thanks! I’m gonna get on that
My idolll..teach me to
When i do the staccato arpeggio things, my voice doesn't start 'sqeaking' like yours does on the higher notes. I just get a fast, fine stream of air coming out with no sound. :(
same prob here
@@aaronaramburo2925You need to make it a bit tighter
Pedro Carneiro What do you mean by tighter?? I thought you weren't supposed to use your neck/throat muscles, only your vocal cords
@@eggnoodles4169 I know people say tight throat and then others say open throat and then they say use ur support muscles and then they say use little air LIKE WHO DO I BELIEVE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Do we use our natural voice and focal fry to achieve whistle tones or do we use head voice/falsetto and vocal fry?
Your voice is very pretty. The highest whistle note that I sang today so far was a B7! How high can you go?
Hugs!
😃
I can’t really keep it consistent. Like I can hit the note but running vibrato through it doesn’t always happen. It feels like there’s another spot in my throat where air is escaping, like there’s air coming out of two parts of the bottom of a balloon and it gets rid of the purity of sound.
Holy shit dude!
i can whistle too... if u cant do it , it just a sort of practice.... indeed...
How do you do vocal fry in your upper register? I have bass voice and can’t manage to fry past chest voice 🙄🥺
Thank you I’ll keep trying lol
Can anyone else do a whistle inhale note? I physically haven’t been able to get my voice into the normal whistle register, being a baritone bass, but I have this weird ability to inhale whistle notes that I’ve measured the highest note at A7.
Me
I can lol
I can do inhale whistle notes but I can’t control them 🙁
Omg yes I can do this and I have trouble doing it the correct way lol. So strange
I do this too which is why i came to this video Bc I’ve realized I’ve been able to hit high notes like that. I found it funny but I knew it wasn’t the proper way. I can’t do it exhaling tho 🤠
thanks, my highest record was Bb7
I want to ask is the whistle notevor tone like bulling the air inside or out?
Thank god Indian music primed me to be able to do this
wow! male singers who can do whistle register are really rare. may I ask how long does it take before you master that?
just like anything, it can take a while. but once you reach that goal youll have new job opportunities. in this case, a singer or something like that.
Mic volume problem right at the beginning and at 2:06? Other than that, great tutorial.
2:44 💚
When doing the exercise they got stuck and my throat tightened. What do I do?
Lilly you are probably doing it incorrectly your throat should always feel relaxed. Think of a yawn in the back of the throat constantly while doing the excersise. You want to keep a low larynx position and slowly release the air pressure
@@seanmurrayvocals this reply helped so much omg
@@seanmurrayvocals it still doesn’t work
@@seanmurrayvocals help me i do it incorrectly
My Whistle works if i tension it or not relaxed if not relaxed nothing will come
sis just became the new ariana grande 👁👄👁
bruv I only recently rly started working on whistle notes and I went from barely being able to do an F6 to being able to do a G#6 (this is like 6 months wip tho)
How do you do whistle note in inhale phonation or exhale phonation?
Trying to learn this as a tenor is so damn difficult, I want to do counter-tenor ranges. I want to be able to hit Dimash Kudaibergen's Sos d' un terrien en detresse song
dimash is a prodigy, i recommend you to start with Ariana Grande, her whistle notes are the easiest. i'm not saying dimash´s vocals are impossible, but they are really hard and even more if you don't have a good control with your whistle
@@emiliorosario6804 I can sing good portions of the song, even the "J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
J'suis mal dans ma peau" portion,of course using high head voice" .. but bruh.. the whistle that I have been able to do (like 3 times) is soooo soft that i don't think the mic would get it. Which Ariana song would you recommend?
