@@adesantoasman8585 Yes ! Exactly . Hope it helps

@@efim_061 ah brilliant ! Yeah it’s so easy to say ignore them , but very hard to actually do, it affects what headspace you are in no matter how much you try shit it out . Thanks for the comment enjoyed reading that , good luck

@@duncanmacgregor9398 I’m glad it’s reminded you Duncan! I can’t say it enough, just start doing it and doing it . It’ll become second nature.

No you didn't 😂

@@-byko-8423 😂😂 wow , that’s taking it to another level 😅

@@kennyholliday7492 Thanks. Yeah it’s definitely a tricky one. It’s not always supposed to sound ‘good’ , especially when you are tryin to fix certain voice issues or inconsistencies. There’s experimentation required. And weird stuff that isn’t singing. In fact , is it better to let people hear all that , so they know , you’re working on it !?

Thx kindly “C “ Yes the cracks & creaks vocalizing I think even my doggie ..runs for cover lol : Ps: you ever hear of the Red velvet covered mask thingy ? I think ? I heard of for loud vocalizing needing to contain volume !

@ hmmm . I don’t know about the red velvet bit! But mask and covering sure! Although covering is something I’ve heard people use , it’s not a phrase I use to explain anything .

Found it : Beltbox What say you ?

Same😂

@@danielrybin2006 Yes ! I love this . Totally get where you’re coming from. I used to want everyone to hear me ! But yeah I’ve definitely practiced at super low volume like that, around people. All the time! Love this . I remember singing all my way home down the streets , late at night, when I first moved to this city. I think I wanted them all to open their windows and turn it into a street party. 😂 they didn’t . Not once 😆🤘 but yeah thanks for the comment, really fun hearing that. I’m with you

@@sereetsithenatives5442 it’s all going to help shape the sound and can happen simultaneously, such as when yawning or using a bit of a yawn, they probably both occur. But lifting the soft palate is going to encourage the resonance into the head, into the nasal cavities and head, which is what we need for middle and higher registers . Focussing the sound where it wants to go, right where the soft palate is, will really help higher notes feel free and more easy. Try the “nng” sound. Closed , like a Humm but placed up near the roof of mouth different to an “mm” and go from lower to higher to try to feel how it resonates near the soft palate there as you get up to the bridge. It might help it make sense 😊

@@singingmatterscalder Wow! that was quick and very helpful! Thanks so much :) Would you say that solely focusing on lowering the larynx encourages a more chestier vocal and pulling chest?

@ Yeah you caught me at a good moment ! I do try to reply but also missed a few over Christmas. I would say focussing on lowering larynx is usually to avoid the larynx rising, initially. It’s to remove the tension and involvement of wrong muscles outside the larynx. Usually when people are having to lower the larynx it’s because of this tension that is strangling their voice. But once that is much more in control and at ease you can use a lower larynx as a tonal, stylistic choice also. But it depends where you’re at really. If everything g is still grabbing and tensing then that’s more important. If not. Experiment with a slightly lowered larynx, just a little and see if everything else functions the same but it just gives you a rounder and bigger sound that feels a tad more chesty yes

@@singingmatterscalder Thanks so much. This is very invaluable material. Thanks so much!! Let me work with raising the soft palette and see where it takes me. My larynx is relatively stable by now

@ excellent ! Let me know how it goes !

@@wadebond7679 I get the feeling there are one or two people who find this advice opposing to their experience. My guess is they used to probably flip into a falsetto immediately when the resistance begins towards the bridge. And therefore this seems completely the opposite what helped them sing high. I’m definitely trying to reach people here who had similar issues to me of over powering themselves. Like way too much. Singers with immense tension and pressure. If that’s not you then maybe this kinda makes no sense and that’s why you had to think the opposite way of compressing and gaining cord closure instead. Most people go too big and hold onto chest way too high and don’t begin to blend low enough. But I understand this may seem strange advice if that isn’t you

@singingmatterscalder I'm going by two examples two students one teacher..Chris Cornell and Layne staley..who studied under Maestro kyle..Layne cups his tongue to the roof of his mouth beginner style but so does Celine Dion and many many other singers. I believe you can't listen to your own voice hence michael beinhorn gave Chris Cornell a recorder and a room as chris went off to work on recording black hole lyrics. Michael waited outside walked around while chris did his thing to reach chris goal. Note another story of Michael telling how as they recorded superunkown Chris was in what Michael thought was a silly mood of making chicken sounds little did michael know or understand it was chris' way vocal exercise..muscle memory, feeling it in his throat.its dauntinghaving to explain when you are running on limited time and money recording studios arent cheap, bottom line, can't really listen to the sound your own voice..unless it's a playback

Those who can do those who can't teach..Maestro Kyle believed teachers should be able to teach by example of actually being able to sing..those who can do and can also teach..as I've said relatable everyday words.

@@wadebond7679 Yeah I’ve never sung before I’m just making shit up. God knows what you’re on about .

@@singingmatterscalder wasn't referring to you sorry just going by what everyone says.and they say a lot.as in explain it away.Im on caffeine, two cups of coffee.

So you how do you do it?... Do you think the high Note then what?

@ yeah, essentially, if there's a an instrument playing, I can use my voice as if it were an instrument to sing along. But very high notes have been difficult for me, without using falsetto, and It just makes so much intuitive sense that restraining your airflow makes it work better. I just have never sought to sing better until recently. I was doing punk rock before. Now I'm trying all kinds of stuff.

@@RichardRubendra1963 try not to think of it as individual anatomy. We all have the same antimony! We is all human! So switch that round. 80% technique . Don’t individualise it . ✌️

And my voice op was 3 years ago, I’ve got a rough ass cold. Cheers . And thanks for the comment

@@M2Texas yes my voice was in a horrid state and you can hear it. I’ve been unwell, as I mentioned, coughing and sneezing all week. . Why would you put ‘had surgery’ in inverted commas? Do you think I’m pretending ? I didn’t cover everything in this video obviously. I’m addressing the idea people think they need to give more and push more and go louder and go bigger for high notes, which is always coming up constantly. Usually when folks haven’t really learned to shed the weight of chest voice. Maybe some people are the opposite - they flip and go light and falsetto and may need a different approach to what I’m talking about but it makes a slot of sense for anyone who goes the other way and shouts into the high notes, which I always did. Yeah my voice is totally worn out. Agreed. Which I mentioned a couple of times. I was addressing this very common misconception.

@@TeresaWagstaff that’s fantastic . I’m so glad it made sense and thanks for subscribing! 😊

@@alanjanda696 excellent stuff ! I’m really pleased to hear this. And yes you can sing ! You just May have to learn how to. Good luck

Vowels, in pitch. Play.

Depends what you mean by more energy. And also depends what people are doing when I say give less. I usually talking to people who think everything needs to big huge powerful. I talk to singers all day who misunderstand how high notes are achieved. There’s a massive misconception, usually with those who haven’t learned much yet. I was the same as this so it always comes from my experience. I often teach what I needed to learn before I ended up with an operation. It depends what you mean and who I’m pitching this at. I sang very hard for decade and a half . I still sing hard, even tonight I absolutely belted the shit out of my voice , but my god I couldn’t do it how I used to that’s for sure. Best wishes

@singingmatterscalder I hear you. Depends what you mean by singing "hard." When I say "more energy" it has all to do with what sound you're going for. For example, if I am performing an early Kansas song, before they became famous. The energy and intensity required is very challenging. Listen to the first two Kansas CDs. The vocals are off the chain.

@@RetroRedline I never like any comment that suggests more pressure! I mean, engage your core yes . Use support but we need to manage the pressure and try not to not allow pressure to excessively build up. There is always the chance things are misinterpreted and she didn’t quite mean that but after my experiences I would never say use more pressure, more cord closure perhaps …. So it’s not falsetto.., I’m trying to find angles that it was good advice . …. But i would never say it

@@TimE_5150 awesome ! I hope to see you on the channel! Great stuff thanks

@@Fiascopia oh thank you again! That’s awesome

@@Dolphinlaugh Hey thanks! Yea well this is the corner of my lounge/dining space . I used to have a small sound proofed studio in a garage conversion but you know, break up, change if circumstances and I kind of landed here like this. I really appreciate all the comments and I’m really encouraged by it so thanks !! Sounds logical

@@Fiascopia ❤️❤️ thank you so much , that really means a lot. As I sit here in my lonely little house wondering how I’ll pay the bills in January and February, I have to have faith this whole thing has legs. And I know exactly what you mean because that’s exactly you how it goes for all of us when we are trying to learn. This is the experience I had when learning from coaches too! We need to be brought back on track ! We go back to old habits. Your comment is exactly what I’m trying to achieve . Thank you ! (I don’t usually do the hard sell, it’s not my style , but I do have a patreon and i am hoping to build this next year. I offer 1-1 feedback from video clips) I cringe at mentioning that

@@lukasmayer7394 I mean I’m telling people off here. I’m aware of that. Kinda telling people all that I wish I’d taken in sooner. But obviously there are many mentions of how to do it the healthier way. It just doesn’t always go in . I believe I do say what you can learn this and that and this might help. I feel that’s what I’m always saying. I don’t think it registers with singers easily. It just doesn’t stick . I’m always trying to do that! I will now go away and try to reflect on what you’re saying coz that’s how I am. But the channel Should be full of that, I think singers don’t catch it , they struggle to understand . Anyway. Always my intentions are good !

@@lukasmayer7394 thanks for the comment , I take the critique. This video was inspired by how often we have to explain that singing high requires less force. People really struggle with that concept. They almost won’t accept it and it blocks their progress hugely until they do. Anyway , thanks for watching

@@lukasmayer7394 you are all I will be thinking about all day now ! 😂

@@singingmatterscalder I need told daily! :D

Just to be clear you’re doing an aaaaamazing job on here and it’s great that you’re doing it your own way that makes it unique :) I just struggle a lot myself with topics like that concerning singing and in my experience every single little detail ( especially mentally ) can stop you from functioning Please Don’t think too much about what I said I just thought I’ll let you know And I never write comments on here maybe it sounds a little too harsh Anyways big fan of yours and the channel hope you’ll have a good day :)!!

@@konamipls awesome thank you and I hope it helps you understand so you can use the voice better

@@fenderfox5080 yeah it’s usually achieved with that kind of fry, it’s amazing what the voice can sound like even when using a lighter approach, that’s the whole thing, it’s almost a trick! It’s not. It’s completely not a trick. It delivers the emotion we hear so it’s real.

From what I understand Kurt blew his voice out multiple times recording the early Nirvana albums, he did not care about technique when recording just about getting the emotion out. Probably not the best vocalist to idolize. Doing it sustainability would definitely require a good combined fry + head voice, that is generally how to get the pitched scream sound.

@Captainj2001 yep, i didn't know how to sing in head voice fully like I do now, I always sang in chest and could never figure out how or why I couldn't do the sounds so these singers could do. Now that I'm learning head voice I'm getting closer to sustainable navigation 🤣

@@manifernandez6300 Jesus Christ ! If Kurt cobain had carried on that way he’d have fucked his voice . Listen to it . That is a man thraping the hell out of himself. But you know , it’s guts and emotion and all the rest of it. He pushed his voice to the limit . He’s using distortion , but I’m sure there’s a lot of tension in there , certainly at times. Listen to Bon jovi , loads of tension and strain surprisingly, or not perhaps. But he can’t sing now either unfortunately. It’s funny when people ask questions like that because it’s clear he was hurting his voice at least some of the time. If you wanna for Kurt cobain then go for it ! There are ways to get extreme sound with healthier approach but nothing extreme is completely ideal . I still can’t help but totally over do it with emotion at times but there’s no fucking way I could sing for 2 hours a night the same way I used to.

I think Chris Liepe may have done some videos about Kurt. Might be worth checking it out. Kurt was incredible in some ways, like his doubling of takes were absolutely perfect. Which is crazy coz it doesn’t seem like a perfectly orchestrated vocal. It seems like raw emotion but when he jumped in and did a double over the top, he sang it EXACTLY the same. Quite remarkable. And shows you that Kurt was way more meticulous and purposeful in his art than it may seem. And btw he used double takes to thicken the sound - check my vid on Your Ears Are Deceiving You for some insight on that side of it. My impression would be Kurt was on the edge of danger all the time. Sounds fucking great. But he put his voice through a lot. He maybe was technically singing better than it seemed also! Check Liepe’s vid !
