I've been singing and teaching singing for a good few years now and the past year or two I've tried becoming the best teacher I can be, and with teachers like you and Justin Stoney with your clear example of how the voice works using pedagogy. My students are benefiting greatly, thank you and keep up the good work fellow nerd! ahaha Regards
This was really helpful for getting a broad idea about the terms and their uses under their respective context, so thank you :D. The words aren't explained specifically though, so I'll need to look them up to get a better understanding of what they mean
I'm planning to do so sometime in the near future. It's kind of an involved topic, so I'll probably need to record a few videos on the subject, which will require a bit of planning.
Mam, what do you think is the highest level a singer can achieve technically.... every singer ofcourse want to sing from Bass to Soprano in order to sing any vocal range.... ofcourse it must be a dual chest voice to achieve that level....male and female chest voice....My question....Is that the highest level of singing or there is more..if there is.. what is that? Thanks and God Bless you.....
Thanks for your question. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'highest level,' since you seem to be referring to range, specifically chest voice, and voice type. When I think of highest level, I think more in terms of overall mastery of technical skills, from breath management to pitch to vowel to registration to agility to dynamics, etc.. Range is only a small part of skilled vocalism. More than extended range or very high notes, we need to create a desirable tone - a desirable performance timbre. Ultimately, that is what will impress the listener most. Are you asking what's above the soprano's range (i.e., whistle/flageolet register)? It's unclear, but if you pose your question again in a different way, please, maybe I'll be able to understand better what you're asking and try to answer it more directly and clearly.
What I'm saying is that range is only one thing that makes a singer a good singer. There are very successful singers who don't have extensive ranges, but they do have beautiful, steady tones, good breath support, accurate pitch, the ability to move their voices agilely, control over dynamics, power, clear diction, emotional expressiveness, the ability to move the audience with their voices, etc.. So yes, I do believe that range is only one small part of skilled vocalism, and while it's great to have a large range, it's not necessary for all types or styles of singing. For some singers, there are other vocal skills that may take precedence. I don't believe that everyone is capable of developing the same range. It's not in their morphology. And it's not simply a matter of training (although training can certainly grow a range).
ah ok....popular singer is different from the best singer....if you have money and influence and a good PR manager and excellent advertisements and you are a good singer like other singer you can manipulate the media and be an international performer....Best Singer for me is doing the impossible not only on good sound but to capture all vocal range.....sounds impossible and it will take a lot of time and dedication to complete all vocal ranges.....So vocal ranges is the hardest to master all.....Thats why there is only one Bass Soprano in history and the world.......
What you are saying Mam is all true and correct....But my question is not to become a popular singer.....But to be the best in the world...technically...you dont believe that anyone can master all vocal range..your right Mam its almost impossible to do that....But if someone can actually do that or able to reach that Level even in a dream...would you consider him/her to be the Best in the World.....provided that steady tones good sound et. al are present?.........
Thanks for your question. (Maybe I forgot to define 'closed quotient' again in the second part of this series.) Closed quotient refers to the amount of time that the glottis is closed (the vocal folds are together) during each vibratory cycle of the vocal folds.
Agreed! In order to learn properly I need to right terms. That's why you're my voice teacher.

Holy goly. I was not expecting this. This is awesome. Subscribed.
Thank you. And welcome!
amazing fast simple video, thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge ma'am.☺☺
You're most welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very informative and clear video. I'm glad I found this. Keep it up!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it, too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent explanation. Thanks
Can you make a video on how to smooth the vocal break?
I'm planning to do so sometime in the near future. It's kind of an involved topic, so I'll probably need to record a few videos on the subject, which will require a bit of planning.
Danke schön !!! Could you propose some books that we can read about all those terminology???

Range is small part....really.?.... Can You sing from Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Counter Tenor Mam? using male chest voice?

Hi Karyn! I noticed you used the word "Closed Quotient" a lot in your Mixed Voice pt. 2 video. What does that mean? Thanks ^^
Thanks for your question. (Maybe I forgot to define 'closed quotient' again in the second part of this series.) Closed quotient refers to the amount of time that the glottis is closed (the vocal folds are together) during each vibratory cycle of the vocal folds.
Is our glottal remain closed when we in a silence
Usually, it's open. Otherwise, we could not breathe.
