What Kind Of Singer Am I? ( 4 Vocal Types )
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2024
- As a singer you will have your own singing "tends tos" that will help decipher what kind of singer you are. And help you understand the best exercises to help develop your unique voice.
In this video we will talk about four different types of singers:
- The Yeller
- The Choir Singer
- The Flipper
- The Blender
None of these vocal types are negative. And it's possible to be more than one vocal type. The important thing is to be able to identify the tendencies. Each vocal type will benefit from particular vocal exercises that will help open up and free your sound. Remember there is nothing negative about your vocal type - it's part of your unique sound. The more you know about your voice the better you will be at controlling it, and the more you will LOVE your sound.

These voice types are also called
- Pulled Chest - High Larynx (the yeller)
- Light Chest - No Chest (the choir singer)
- Flip - Falsetto (the flipper)
- Mixed Voice (the blender)
Great video!
Thank you.
The mixed voice doesn't exist.
@@clmasse it does. There are people who can sing freely and easily through the chest and head registers and the vocal cords remain connected. It’s pretty rare though. But I’ve heard some who can.
@@alinserbanmusic There is no chest and head registers.
@@clmasse 😂
dont forget about The Butcher (pitchy and off tone), The Baker (rock voice, lots of distortion and fry) and The Candle Stick Maker....who humms while making candles sticks
😂😂😂
I've been singing since I was 15. I'm 30 now. I never knew I could sing. One day, randomly my pastor from church said "Here are some instrumental tracks, practice the lyrics, God told me you can sing." I was SUPER confused, as I have never sang a day in my life, especially not on a microphone. 😅 Sure enough, God placed the talent in me, and no one ever told me I had to warm up or cool down my voice before singing. Today in 15 yrs experience singing, this is the first time I've started doing vocal exercises daily. (since 1 week ago) Tomorrow I'm auditioning to once again be on my church's worship team (new church) and I feel ready. Thank you Jesus for this lady on this channel who has helped me learn so much more about singing. ❤ (new to this channel and loyal to only this one from now on for my daily vocal exercises) God bless you Ms. SINGEO. (😢 What's your name Ms.?)
That’s just beautiful! You got this, I believe you and God does too. I’m rooting for you 🙂, God bless you !
@@ilovejayyy aww thank you so much 💓 God bless you and your loved ones dear to your heart ❤️
Amen! Thank you for sharing this was truly helpful especially for church
Amen
I love your energy 😅
It feels like getting singing lessons from Tinkerbell and I'm here for it
Thanks for that , the most useful part of your presentation is when you said "it's a moving target" , I'm the 3rd type of singer 😊.
Me too😊❤

Not me, I find it annoying, she is too upbeat and she is laughing at jokes only she knows, annoying 😂
Nice voice though...good way of explaining
I like the way Sarah McLachlan’s voice flips. Joni Mitchell is a master. I think it’s a technique the use with great effect. But I can also see it sounding awkward if it’s weak and unintentional. Love your videos!
It reminds me of The Cranberries lead singer
yeah i teach voice lessons and the implication that flipping would go away when being a developed singer just doesnt make sense, im assuming thats not how it was intended but i definitely started from a place where my flipping would land me in a position where i had no breath support on my falsetto. but now that i am a developed vocalist and a professional, i still do utilize those flips -- but they are not necessary to make the sound happen anymore, and i have learned to develop the breath support behind my higher register. the issue with singers like this isnt the flip, its the technique behind their falsetto. for most, they have lower ranges. as an adult i am a contralto, as a teenager i was often used to help the tenors fill out the part in choir. but i had ZERO ability to sing high. i think thats very true of a lot of flippers... they are just some form of altos lol
I've been a chest puller for a long time. A few years ago, I started working on relaxing on the higher notes and it has really helped. While still not a master blender (sounds like an appliance) I've improved to where my tone at least sounds consistent throughout my range. Always a work in progress!
I have trained for 12 years now and I have reached all these types of voice types but didn't know how to explain it. Thank you for the pure and real explanation. I appreciate you.
So it's not bad that I have different types of voice yeah?
You blew my mind at the end when you talked about how what you're working on is a moving target. I've been confused why, as I gain more singing experience, some days I feel totally coordinated and relaxed and in the same week I'll have days where I struggle with my chest voice and others where I struggle with my head voice. Thank you for letting me know that that's normal 😂
Yup this is true. And just like any muscles, when you use them a lot, they get temporarily weaker, but then stronger with rest. So day to day can be drastically different
The voice changes on different days or periods, and this is apart from the external causes like a cold allergies etc, meaning that even when healthy the voice does experience variation in its properties, which is why people have good voice days. These variations have a STRONGER effect on some voice types than others (we all have unique voice types). The thing is your growth aim as a singer, in technique and control, is to be at a place where you have such mastery of your voice that the tradeoffs in those variations don't hold you back from always being amazing and having the abilities you have gained
You’re not alone on this one, I’m the same way. Also, I believe the weather affects it too.
I am definitely “the yeller” but turn into “the choir singer” and “the flipper” when I try to sing songs as “the blender”. So helpful! Thank you 😊
Multiple personality voice. 🙃
Indeed 😆
I can relate! Today I had solo singing activity and my teacher told that I sing well but I need some practice that's why I am here hehe
@@chloezen6740Felt this! I have always been told that I have “good tone” which I guess is a blessing, but I do indeed need a TON of work despite most teachers and directors not being willing to say it. Also the “yeller” and as a guy, being chest voice heavy is actually seen as a good thing in some cases, but I STILL lack versatility and placement and that’s also led me to videos like these.
Wow, means you're versatile, sensitive, and very musical. 🎉😂
I’m 16 years old and have never sung loud notes in a song before or got perfect note because I’m nervous AND I want to become a singer, and I need people who will support me and I need extra support. I don’t have the money for vocal coaching either:(((((
Then you got the hard mode, to clear this, now it all depends on how deep your devotion is for singing ..its sad you ain't got any cream on your corn yet ..time is asking you can you do this ,what you got adlibs or courage.
Ooooo
U can do this on ur own! Keep goin❤
I am much older than you, and started singing 11 years ago when I was 60. I got up the courage to do to open mics with a guitar player I paid to accompany me and cover my guitar playing and a bass player which made us sound really nice. I have taken some voice lessons late in life and the best teacher I had used to tell me to sing as much as I could around the house. You can find free vocal lessons online and I did some of that as well. I have trouble with the break going from the chest register to head voice. one particular teacher, who was a pop teacher, suggested the mixed voice or going nasal as they say, when you go up through the break. It does help. You may not have trouble with the break which is a good thing. But anyway, what I guess I’m trying to say is I now feel after taking vocal lessons that you may not need them. if you want to get up and sing, you have to just get up and do it. You don’t need to pay for vocal lessons, but if you want to check out some things and get advice about what your vocal range is, you can do it for free online. There’s 1 million teachers and you can pick the one you like the best. I used to like Freya Casey, who is classically trained, but does Videos that are down to earth for pop singers. The more you sing the better you will get. You will be less afraid. If you don’t have a piano at home to guide you with what notes you are hitting, and where to start scales as you are warming up, I suggest you buy a good old pitch pipe, which can help you off in the key that you want to do. But that old, but young, teacher of mine, used to tell me that doing scales was only half effective , and she felt the most effective thing was to sing around the house. I did find that when she gave me a few technical lessons, singing around the house helped me realize that, for each song,
where I knew where my break was going to come and how I was going to have to use Mixed Voice to get it right. I would’ve done more open mics, but Covid came along and everything was shut down. Since Covid has kind of been and gone, I just haven’t had the impetus to get back out there. I hope this helps. Remember: free advice on the Internet and there’s tons of it. Doing warm-up exercises and then singing. And when you are singing a song at home watch out for when your voice doesn’t perform too well and that’s when you sing it over and over again intentionally so that you practice it so that you can then go out and sing it effectively.
cheers to the spirit!!!!! WOAHH@@lindajones8101
I love that she didn't just give one exercise for all voices but different types for different voices... Subscribing asap
Go on Lisa!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I used to struggle with my middle range, and my lower upper voice (meaning the three or so notes that were too high to sing with my chest voice). Switching in that range was hard, and if I sang too long in my chest voice (like an alto part), I’d lose the ability to sing in my higher voice.
Nine months of voice lessons later, and I’ve made huge strides. It now takes a couple of hours for my voice to tire when singing. I can transition way more smoothly between voices (although I still have progress to make). I’ve also had fun learning different styles of singing (day, pop vs. choral/classical), and how to hold my mouth for each kind. It’s fun! I just had a recital this weekend, and one of the other teachers at the school I go to told me I’d improved a lot since he heard me sing last November (same song). That felt really good! I know I’ll never be a great singer, but I also know people appreciate what talent I do have, and it deserves to be cultivated. 😊
As to types, I was naturally a bit of a yeller, and now I’m a lot more a blender. But yeah, I do have days where my voice just isn’t up to snuff. And sometimes certain songs will work better for where my voice is at for certain days. Like in my recital, the first song I struggled with my upper voice, not finding the power I usually have. But I was fine in the second song. Go figure!
@@kitty.miracle Huh? If I were, I wouldn’t be taking voice lessons!
I've been following your piano videos, but I didn't know you had a channel about singing! I have a lot to catch up now. Thanks for your videos
Woof woof for the Pixie cut! ❤
I have been a voice teacher for over 25 years and youtube probably knows because it suggested your video to me: you summed this up really well, and the visual is really classy. Keep it up!
I think I'm a flipper. I find that I lose a lot of power and control in my higher register and then I can't land on notes precisely (I'll be sharp or flat). I think that the choir singer exercises would also be helpful for me.
Thanks for the video!
I think I’m a flipper too. I can never find a comfortable spot for singing.
Me too
Flipping is cool. I think as we practice and more to smooth all that out it will come in handy. I don't mind flipping
This is very detailed and you’re spot on with all of this. I really appreciate how you describe the way everything feels. That, to me, is the most important part.
If I can sound right, but don’t feel the right sensations, then something’s off. Compensatory muscles can be a huge issue, and even worse when you don’t know they shouldn’t be the ones working... Painful stuff that’s best to be avoided with proper practice.. and knowledge about them.
Needless to say, I messed up and gained a lot of neck tension that I’m still working on
your explanations and presentations are so succinct! Thank you!
Wow this is amazing , even for me since I’m a choir singer. I’m interested in learning more about how to balance your voice especially when I’m a choir singer
I came across your channel last night and watched another video of yours as well and I love your teaching style. It makes us beginners feel comfortable and not so foolish. Thank you so much!
I am definitely a flipper! I’ve always struggled with belting and putting power behind my notes in a way that’s on key, though! I think part of it came from a lack of confidence. These are great tips and instructions! So glad that I found this! Thank you! 💙
Could you make a video on vocal fatigue, how to prevent it, how to sing safely & voice care on the whole? 🙏🏻🥺 Can in general your voice be tired when you only started to sing because it is an undeveloped muscle or there is a problem? Can it be improper breathing for example?
P.S. I love this channel so much! There’s a lot of valuable information for singers that I have never seen anywhere else. Thank you so much for your work! ❤️
I also want help with this, my voice stamina (If that is a thing) is really low.
Absolutely!!!
Yeah
Sure:
- Water water water water. Start hydrating 24hrs before any major singing practice.
- No coffee, alcohol during singing (and night before). Limit that morning.
- 15min EVERY DAY. Ideally morning warm-up and evening exercises (in the hot shower). EVERY DAY. Maybe 1/7 days for recovery.
The vocal chords are muscles. They grow in use and during sleep.
@@carlsonmatthewt i can't sing without coffee/tea cups each time followed by a glass of water
You are very likeable and Real. Thank you for putting this video out here. Makes me want to see others from you, this was the 1st from you I have just seen & heard. Good work. Much appreciated.😃🥰💖
I'm really grateful for this video and others you've made . Thanks a million
Depending on the style of music, I am blessed to be a mix of all of them. Classical training, vocal jazz.. belting out rock and r&b, ... you have to know what you are trying to accomplish in each type of music genre as well. But these exercises will certainly help me. As I age, power, agility and control do seem to suffer a little though I do make up for that with techniques and style! You are an amazing voice coach though! I'll continue to learn from you as often as I can to extend my singing days. I tend to focus less when I play instruments... then I sing tense too much chest and choir mixed.
You're amazingg! So glad to have found yout video, Lisa!
This video and channel really help take the scary out of learning to sing better. Thank you
So happy to hear that! 🎤
Yes that's the truth am that person I love singing and i can do it but afraid
I just love you Lisa I follow you a lot on piano notes so thrilled to see you are also working with voice awesome thank you I am definitely a blender
My tendency has always been a Flipper - but with a lot of work and practice, I'm slowly becoming more of a Blender😂 Thank you for these incredibly helpful exercises!
Loved this! So I was in the blender stage but after a pregnancy I am now a flipper and my high register sounds like the choir singer. So this was very helpful to figure out what I need to do
I'm the blender, finally! Hahaha for a long time it was very difficult for me to sing softly but after working on it a lot, I have gotten it but still trying to improve everyday 😊
I love this, I needed this. Thank you!! Just subscribed :)
This was so super helpful. Thank you!!!
Omg I’m so here for this!!!! I have been singing for fun since I was 3 yes old (there are literally cassettes of me singing 😂) till I dropped out at 10th grade and haven’t practiced in forever!! Thank you for this! ❤❤❤
Wow ive watched soooo many videos on how to sing,i came across this one thinking it'll be fun but just like other videos it wont teach u much how to be better but after checking out this one n few of ur other videos im glad i clicked on this!! This really helps thankyouu!!
Thanks for wonderful, helpful lessons . You simply awesome !
This was AMAZING! Thank you!!
You are adorable and so likable. Thanks for this great video!
I'm not in anyway a singer but there are times when I believe that feelings of emotion (being moved/innerspirit ), genuines ( to the songs story) and commitment to give everything you got too harmony is the best way of achieving incredible sound quality. I have enjoyed humming in every register I can. CZcams is a great source of education, so thank you.
Now this is a great teacher! thank you for sharing this knowledge
Flipper here! I'm so glad I now have a name for my frustration and something to work toward!
Feel that this lady was created for this,the lady is so passionate and i like her well elaborate lessons❤
I have discovered that I'm between the choir singer as well as the flipper. Getting to the blender type is sort of my goal. No cap though, I'm a hip-hop artist majoring in rap and melodic choruses. I do try and make my choruses more melodic, which is why I'm here.
Thank you for the video. Just learning where I stand when it comes to my melody is a good start for me. 🙏
So grateful, found you and your lessons..
I love how u teach! The best channel ever! Its my second day watching your videos. I really got entertained with gaining lots of useful information
omgggg love your tips and the way you explain everything !!!! you are amazing ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I've literally been searching for something like this for years I go back and forth with all of these things now I know how to tell the difference and how to fix it thank you so much I was really getting discouraged of even trying to sing anymore this video really helped and encouraged me to want to keep going thank you for making it free and available to all
You are so amazing! I love your energy and I have so much respect for you! I actually can feel how you are talking to me, rather than feeling being patronised 🌸 You are so nice 💙 I’ve learnt so much! 🥹
😯🙌🏼💫 oh my God! Thank you!!! This is sooo helpful!
Merci pour ce cours en or✨✨
Thanks to you, very good and positiv teacher!
Thank you for this awesome vid!
I think I am either flipper or (hopefully) blender.
This was a great way to understand, and you have a wonderfully melodic voice!
i definitely think the last statement you made about this being " a moving target" explains it best. it depends on the day for me now a days. when i was younger i was more chest and belting. which tired my voice out quickly. actually singing into a microphone helps me pace myself better when i sing.
You are amazing. Thanks so much. I'm a blender (I sing a lot better than I do in the random, now old cover on my YT channel!). Currently working on my mixed voice with my wonderful singing teacher! It doesn't come naturally to me at all, but I'm learning to cut myself some slack, and recognise my strengths and not just my weaknesses! Thanks again, and will check out some more of your videos in due course.💛🌠😊 Carrie from Australia 🌏🦘
okay, I've had this on my playlist for two years, and after three and a half minutes, I'm loving the woof exercise. Thanks!
Thank you! Amazing video. Flipper.
First time, I understand and got a major Interest in listening to vocal coach...... thank you for been there, above all, for sharing.......had subscribed to your channel willfully and joyfully....
Great tips! Thank you! 🎉🎶🎤
Loved this video. I'm definitely a Blender. I can reach very low notes, that was an exercise enough, and can now go right into very high notes with ease. It took some work but now feel like I can sing many songs now. Thank you so much for your exercises!
Then please teach me how to blend, 'cos I can't do it to save me bloody life!
@@CockneyRebel1979Same here. I used to be able to back in my high school choir days but after not singing for years but now I’m my church band I am finding I am a flipper. 😞
Thanks...it was so well explained.
Such an informative and gentle video. Love your shirt too. Thanks for the precious info and your positive energy 💗
This is so helpful! thank you! 😊
So helpful! Thank you!
Nice video! I think I am a yeller, although the most singing which I've been doing (until now) is/was in a choir 😁
Thank you I really enjoyed your explanation s and practic techniques
This is a great training video and very informative. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I thank you for the voice lesson. Beginning to learn now...
Ive watched so many "what type of singer" "what type of voice are you" videos and none of them seemed to address what my problems are but THIS helped me identify that i am a flipper. Looking forward to implementing the exercises and improving.
Wow...you know your stuff!!! Thanx for this
Thank you for the vid!💖
These videos have really helped in breaking down singing practice into something I can understand. I’ve learned from other coaches but they never go into explaining it like this. I learn more about myself just by watching the videos ❤
I was too shy and skipped out on chorus classes when I was in school, but you really make me want to start singing and get to know my voice! I love your energy. Instant sub here. Right now my baby boy is my biggest fan lol seems to like me singing him to sleep just fine.
That's on point beautiful
You The Best.....
I Love your Works...
Thanks so much for this video!
You are naturally so supportive of singing and singers. Think of this. If you are teaching how to support better, be kind to yourself, then as a voice teacher, your support and kindness must shine through. You are phenomenal at both! You are a godsend for singers at all levels! I have a degree from Berklee, am a pro singer, child prodigy blah blah....your sync with your message to song and singers is a wonderful blessing. The song muses are making a joyful sound. Thank you!
Very familiar with vibrato , crescendo and decrescendo..... So cool
Yay! I needed this video. I have been looking for videos for my nephew, to help him sing now that his voice is thicker.
love her spirit
She just makes you smile and enjoy repetitive exercises. ❤
I've been singing since I was 4 and I'm 37 now. I was called to the music ministry as a child and I still spread the word of God because I have been delivered from the Darkness and into the Light by one who loves humanity as a whole!!! We are here to share what we are blessed with unto all the people. I'm a blender!!!
Definitely a YELLER . If I sing high notes too loud in chest voice, I tend to get a sore throat and need to cough .
We need to sing in chest voice and belt a lot in our gospel choir, so I can’t switch to head voice , because it would sound too soft.
Thank you for the „Woo“ exercise 🙏🏼
You know opera technique? It can be used for choir. But need more strength.
I have been witching yutube videos but this is the first video I am comment, I most say I love your energy and how bring out what you know to me I love you.
Hello, I am 75 years old and I’ve been singing since I was alive. I taught voice for 45 years and I am now retired but still play with my little band. I just want to say I have enjoyed your vocal coaching. You have such a lovely positive attitude about The Voice. I especially enjoyed your video about the four types the flipper, the blender, the choir singer and the chest or yeller what a lovely positive way to lead us into knowing our entire voice thank you and good luck with your career and your CZcams channel.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
You are amazing! Thank you :)
Wow! Thank you so much!!
This was so helpful for me! I learned that I have a flipper type and the best excerices for me are to practice 'BUH' and 'GUG'
I love your teaching technique 😊
Fantastic. Thank You.
Holy jumping!! A meta view vocal lesson?!😮☺️ amazing! Thank you 🤗
She's so adorable and good at teaching on camera. Therapeutic. I feel like I've been touched by an angel.
Thanks for this....I always couldn't sing high notes without them coming out powerful and super loud and that made me really question being a counter tenor.. But now I just know I'm a yeller and not a quiet singer 😊😊
I love the getting louder arpeggio exercise for working on the break. I've never in all my singing career come across that exercise before! In a rush I use the siren lip trill to quickly warm up and get the blend going.
I'm definitely a yeller, thanks for the exercise 🙏
What is your take on mixed voice,vocal fry, and false cord screaming when it comes to vocal techniques?
SMART, I LOVE TO BE WITH YOU FOR MORE AND MORE TRAINING,YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER.
Thanks For Sharing Your Wisdom.
I'm more the Blender. I've had some vocal lessons through the years. My vowels are open, more like classical music. But I am a lyrical tenor and need more "power!" I know it's not all about volume but I need more! Wish I was a better soloist. Thanks for your videos. Very inspiring. Your increasing volume drill could help as well as other videos.
YELLER HERE! Ole Yeller actually :-) Love this video, Lisa!
