      Frfr, plus if the the clip at the beginning is him, I personally don't like his voice, I hate a crystal clear order produced sound, I love a raw, natural voice, and with the assistance of autotune, can make some pretty crazy sounds that you don't get with a clear recording without jumpy spots, I think of autotune as an instrument, aswell as a sort of crutch, some people seem to now how to manipulate auto tune to make my ears damn near orgasm, but for others it just seems to tighten things up, like Drake and nav for example, they have a clear, even sounding voice, which the autotune doesn't change too much, then you have people like capoxxo(rather unknown) or 6ix9ine (when he sings, usually when he fortune Nikki manaj) the auto tune bounces around a little bit, and sounds more chromatic, or chordual(if that's a word) idk my thoughts, also I think his clip at the beginning of the video was auto tuned, as the high part sounded artificially clean near the top of the note, almost fluttered but didn't want to. Idk I'm fried and clearly just rambled lol

    Anyone can sing, it’s about practice and good technique. Some people it takes longer than others.

Don’t tell anyone they can’t sing, everyone can, it’s about learning.

      It's not so much that you shouldn't hear us, but that it shouldn't ALWAYS be heard. Quite frankly some notes are too long and close together for even the best singers to be silent when breathing. But if our breath is always in our chest, it can be difficult or even painful to sing well.

      @laciehamlin9340 Před 3 lety +230

      The reason that happens is because you lose oxygen. When your body has less oxygen and needs more it yawns to get more oxygen. When we get tired our body slows down so our breathing subsequently slows and that’s why we yawn. This is also why when you see someone yawn your body yawns because it makes your brain think there isn’t enough oxygen.

      You could try breath controlling exercises- for example, put your palm against your mouth (like an inch away) and try to sing a long phrase. If your palm warms up before the end of it, you're breathing out too much air. When you have your palm in front of your mouth, it actually helps you control how much air you're letting out and it's really effective. Hope it helps!

My sister would stick up for me, but I eventually stopped singing, aside from when I was at Church. The Pastor's wife heard me and asked if I'd sing a solo. I told her that I didn't think I could do it. She had 2 other girls sing with me. I totally froze and ended up not singing. Many years later, I was working in child care. I quietly sang to one of the babies in my class as I was changing his diaper. A coworker heard me and complimented me on my voice. Over the years I've only ever received compliments from anyone who has heard me, but I just keep replaying my older brother's words in my head.

    I've never had formal training, but I've worked on my voice as best I can through youtube tutorials for several years. I've found that I have a pretty "theatrical mezzo" voice, which, as I understand it, means I can mimic a range of different tones really well by changing my breathing and my placement etc. Go from bright and clean to thick and velvety without any strain.
    So here's my point: when breathing, I find that when I'm going for a clean, light, pop-y sound, I breathe from my chest (like you said not to). When I want to sing like that, I sound very similar to Tori Kelly or Ariana Grande. But when I breathe from my stomach, I can *only* get a throaty, smoky, Barbra-Streisand-esque tone. I take it that's my "real tone".
    So, is it bad to ever breathe from my chest to get the higher, clearer ends of my register?

    • @JGMeador444
      @JGMeador444 Před 2 lety +2

      I'm not a vocal coach by any means, but I've been learning on my own as well. I've mostly tried to learn how to sing operatically, but I have dabbled in a bunch of things (power metal mixed belts, death metal growls, subharmonics, different kinds of distortion). Like you, I noticed that it's easier to sound like a pop singer when I breathe "higher" as well, though that does tire out my voice more quickly. I believe the main two factors are the amount of vocal compression we're using as well as the amount of tension in the vocal tract, both of which affect resonance. When I breathe higher, it's more difficult to control the amount of air I'm using due to my diaphragm not really being engaged. As a result, I think I have more vocal chord compression happening there. There's more tension in my throat too, which wreaks havoc on my resonance. But then, I don't want operatic resonance when I'm trying to sing along to "You Belong With Me" or something.
      I have a couple questions. When you're singing with a well-supported sound, do you feel tension in your throat? Does it feel shouty as you go up in pitch? Can you sing a comfortable note in the lower part of your range, move your larynx around with your hands, and still kind of hold the note? Because it should NOT feel throaty. I wonder if you have some residual tension in your throat.
      Also, I wonder if you're trying to hit high notes by trying to force more air through. It's taken me ages to figure out that higher notes need less air but more support than lower notes.
      I'm really looking forward to your response!
      EDIT: To actually answer your last question.... If that's what you want to do - and you stop when you're tired so you aren't hurting your voice - it's not a bad thing, but it shouldn't be necessary. If you're truly a mezzo, your falsetto/head voice should be plenty high, clear, and resonant. At the end of the day though, singing is about making sounds you like. Whether that's done with perfect technique doesn't really matter as long as you're enjoying yourself and not hurting yourself.

      @@JGMeador444 - What a fantastically thorough response! I'm honored!
      I think I've subconsciously been using less air for higher and longer notes without really realizing it as such, because it just sounded and felt better. I've been a pretty intuitive learner over the years.
      To answer your questions about tension, I have found that for me, it's more about the _style_ I'm singing the note in, not the note itself.
      For example, I can sing the exact same notes in *either* the flatter, harder, "shouty-er" style of Tori Kelly or Idina Menzel, OR in the warmer, rounder, more classical style of Barbara Streisand, Leona Lewis, or the older Disney princesses... and the latter is definitely more comfortable and natural to my voice box.
      It also seems to have to do with the resonance placement in my head/mask itself. I can sing a higher note much more easily if it's in the middle or back of my mask/head (which is more common in Broadway, classical, and opera), but find the strain increases as soon as I try singing the same note in the *very front* of my mask, like Idina, Tori, and many modern pop singers do.
      I haven't yet figured out how to have NO tension when I'm singing in the first style, and maybe it'll always just be harder, because my voice box literally isn't built for that sound as much. But I'll keep trying, because I love their songs lol.
      But what I know right now is that when I sing in a more classical, warm, soft resonance, the highest notes feel... freer.

    • @JGMeador444
      @JGMeador444 Před 2 lety +2

      @@milo_thatch_incarnate Gotcha on the high notes / air thing. I have not been a very intuitive learner, so I've had to learn a lot of the how and why to get anywhere.
      Sounds like you have a pretty good bit of control over how much tension and which register you're using, and that those are conscious choices. That's awesome!
      As for the placement of high notes.... It's easier for me to have them placed in the back as well. For my high mixed belts, it feels almost straight up. If I put that sound forward, it basically collapses into falsetto and I lose all the power.
      So in the first style, listening to Tori Kelly (who I had actually never heard of before today, somehow), she seems to primarily push chest voice instead of letting her voice mix, which would make it easier to place it forward. It doesn't seem like she mixes much at all. It might just be a stylistic thing, I'm not sure. Or, ya know, I could be wrong and she could be mixing some in those belts. Regardless, the higher falsetto notes don't sound very connected to me, so I'm pretty certain she's mostly chest belting and then releasing any tension with the falsetto notes in there. Chest belting like that requires some tension, because you're really working the TA muscles to stretch those folds. Contrast that to, if you were going a more classical/operatic approach, using a mix of the TA and CT muscles so that the tension in the folds is exactly what it needs to be to offset the breath pressure you're giving it, and no more. Using the CT muscle tilts the larynx, so it makes sense that the placement of the note would change.
      I love talking about this stuff, thanks for indulging me! 😂

      I'm delighted to have been your introduction to Tori -- she's amazing. And yeah, she is a very chesty belter.
      But just like you said, for me, when I hit a _perfectly_ resonant high note belt, for me it usually feels like it resonates right up through the TOP of my head, not the front of the mask. Feels amazing, tbh. Growl notes are so fun too!
      I'd love to be able to extend my range to a place where I can sing my highest notes with wide vowels... but I'm not there yet. If I want the highest notes to be strong, I generally end up resorting to a more operatic round mouth shape. I can reach up to an F6#, but it's a reach lol -- still working on the tension there. The fifth octave is where my natural voice break is, so half of it is high chest belts, and half of it is head voice.
      E5 is a killer though -- it's a common Disney and Broadway belt note, but it's RIGHT where my voice breaks 😂

      @@milo_thatch_incarnate I have to shout out Julia Nilon and The Charismatic Voice for most of the technical knowledge! And David Larson too for getting me started on subharmonics.
      It's really interesting how learning on our own still allows us to turn the dials and flip the switches. We just don't necessarily know what they all do or exactly how they're intertwined sometimes 🤣
      But when it works and you feel what you've heard you're supposed to feel and it sounds great.... Then you still have to unlearn the bad habits that keep that from happening all the time. That's the worst for me.
      When I'm singing my highest falsetto notes, I think (I can't exactly experiment to verify right now) I can still make them sound wide by changing just the shape of my lips. I can't get it very forward though, so there's that. On my good days, I can get up to about an F6 or G6 as well, but there's definitely not a lot of power there. Most days it's about E6. The highest I can do with power is like a G#5, and after that it starts dropping off pretty quick. I CAN get up to a B5 with a little bit of power, but I have to do everything perfectly. I'm pretty sure that's the physiological limit of my vocal folds.
      UUUUGGGHHH, I feel you on the belts being on a crack thing, though it's something a bit different for me. I feel like some backstory on me is needed here.
      I was in my choir second semester of my freshman year of high school; that's when I started my vocal journey. Right at the start of 2013. The choir teacher (who is incredible, nothing against her), had me singing baritone stuff, because I didn't have any technique and that was the only stuff I could even kind of sing. However, through the years since then, I've been drawn to tenor voices. I don't know how to explain it, but I have been utterly convinced I could sing like them. I kept trying and trying and trying, and it kept not working. In Nessun Dorma, for example, I could do everything but that last B4. After I got a bit of technique down, I could push full chest up to an Bb4 or so. If I pushed pretty hard, I could even get that B4, but it sounded terrible and was NOT healthy. Anyway, Bb4 through C5 felt really weird, then C#5 and up to G5 my body was like, "Oh, yeah, we're mixing now." Then, one day sometime in the last couple years, I learned about the vocal classification called the leggiero tenor. Sounds quite like a baritone with the lower part of their range often going quite low (my lowest chest note is an Eb2, but it has no power) and is often mis-classified as a baritone, but has an upper extension that starts around Ab4 and sounds a lot like falsetto before it's trained but is in fact connected to chest voice. That ticked a LOT of boxes for me, and I really started playing around with the upper part of my voice. Finally realizing what people mean when they say "head voice", because for me, it doesn't start feeling like it's in my head until about Eb5. I thought I just couldn't feel the vibrations everyone else could or something. It was frustrating for me. I listened to baritones as well, and I just thought, "My voice doesn't sound like that." I have recorded myself singing plenty, so I had a point of comparison. Now, granted, my voice still isn't fully mature and it'll probably darken some, but it just didn't sound similar at all, and the tessitura is different too. The point of all this is that I relate to not being able to do things you feel like you really want to do and feel like you should be able to do.
      All that being said, to fix that break I'd recommend trying to get your mix lower. That's what I had to do to fix my weird spot right at the climactic tenor notes. Your body starts to realize there's another mechanism it can use for that range, and it turns the knobs to make it so. It's incredible how that works.
      If I didn't lose you, thanks for reading all that. I didn't expect it to be anywhere near that long 😅😅

    He’s talking about instead of breathing with a shallow breathe you just need to breathe deeply into your pelvic area in an attempt to make your diaphragm be pressed forcing all of your organs downward creating more room for air and also making your belly go out it just comes to practice. So worrying about not having any training and then attempting to breathe is an awful way to scrub it’s someone’s ability to sing. There is no explanation of technique on how to prevent these things issues he presents to a viewer. Also brightness is something that you can fix with the placement of your voice by attempting to project it and feel it in your cheek bones and nasal area. These things can all be taught.

      @@karmanuenes7629 Everybody breathes using their diaphragm. It's how we inflate our lungs and without engaging the diaphragm we would suffocate. . So this instruction to "breathe from the belly" is a bit redundant really. We do it all the time.

      Works for Bob Dylan and Neil Young. You sre totally correct about that. Just hard to know if your voice, sound or style is working for you or against you. Plus we hear it inside our own heads and have no clue what it sounds like to others outside of our head I've thought about this often.

    You’re right! Wanna know how I know he’s right? I can tell he’s still recovering from muscle tension dysphonia himself.
    We’re at around the same place rn in our recovery! (He’s a bit ahead but I’ll be there soon ssssh)
    Most people won’t hear it unless they’re also recovering and know what tone qualities to pay attention to.
    It’s SO hard to get rid of unnecessary tension as an adult or even as a teen sometimes because it’s usually by that time chronic and subconsciously happening. You also need to be willing to just sound like shit full projection. We’ve all been there and we’ve all sounded like total Garbo but it’s working through that which being about all the rewards.
    You engrain the bad habits subconsciously and so you also need to kind of undo it subconsciously as well.
    Full recovery HINGES on developing more muscle memory that functions at the same executive level as your dysphonic habits.
    Only then can you really rely on your training 100%, otherwise you’ll always be slipping in and out of bad habits. It’s this weird “in the zone” feeling thing where you stop needing to try, you just feel the music and it just starts coming out eventually.
    Even after 3 years of recovery I still can’t do it on demand, it take intense warm ups and rehearsal to get an entire song ready to sing live.

    Very informative! However, I know that tough love is sometimes important in this field, but I believe it's important to say that anyone CAN sing, it just comes down to practice, technique, and the amount of training used to get to a level of "being able to sing". There are many cases where people who are completely tone deaf and are "lost causes" train and practice for years and then become adequate singers!!

    ALLY BEAUTIES WITH ASTHAMA LISTEN UP
    it IS possible for you to sing.... I had pneumonia when I was six months old which led to asthma and I also have nasal polyp(still) but when I started singing slowly my breathing got better and today I am like 13 years old and free from asthma or any breathing problems and even with my nasal polyps I can sing great and hold my notes long... So PLEASE don't give up cause singing will actually help you
    Love yourself

      TBH it is REALLY common nay it’s expected that around 40% of childhood asthma cases resolve in the child tween or teen years.
      Unfortunately half of these cases usually come back by your mid 20’s-30’s. Nearly all cases recur at some point in their lifetime.
      I went through the same thing at your age.
      I got in really good cardiovascular health and thought my asthma was gone forever, I stayed in shape and in my 20’s my asthma came back worse than it was before.
      I now NEED to stay in really good health or else I’m on a one way DIRECT path to COPD.
      I don’t mean to scare you, because asthma is a very manageable disease in most cases.
      Even severe asthma should not be impeding you from singing to the point you sound shitty.
      Idina Menzel has really bad asthma just as an example.
      She struggles, but she works hard and has a world renown classical voice.
      There are also many elite athletes who have struggled with asthma or other respiratory diseases.
      It’s NOT life defining, it just means you have more choices to make unfortunately.
      You can overcome the obstacles set by your asthma, but it’s still largely incurable.
      I hope it doesn’t come back for you.
      I just also hope others walk away fully informed.
      Singing will not get rid of your asthma. And typically no, it doesn’t get easier it just becomes “normal” and “regular”
      With no immediate point of reference and proper work ethic it shouldnt really be a influential factor in your final outcome.
      You’ll still sound good when you sound good.

    I guess I am able to sing? Haha. I just don't know how to use my voice really well. Doesn't always sound good, doesn't always sound bad.
    Maybe every vocal coaches' ears would bleed when hearing me, but to my unprofessional ears it sounds good sometimes :)).
