- Hello polyphonic overtone singers :)
Today I wanted to share some beginner tips & basic sound creations for Polyphonic Singing. As a beginner myself I welcome any tips/advice from those just starting out on their journey with polyphonic singing or those experienced!
I originally started this form of singing as a form of meditation. It is an awesome mindfulness practice & incredible gateway for cultivating a deeper connection with nature and animals! It is also fun to share with others who have never heard of this style of singing before!

You probably came here to watch and listen 04:29 ;)
Your progress is amazing - very good sound voice - thanks for sharing!
Thankyou so much for these kind words
I tried it last night ... with only an occasional "hint" of success :D
Emm, I love how kindly you accept the comment and appreciate others. It's not something anyone would do.
Thank you, God. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks🙏🏼 i came
I’m currently sat on my bed making some very strange noises getting the side eye off my cat 🤣
Nek minit fifty cats and a fox by the bed.
Haha yes I feel you!!
🙀😾
Hahaha!😂
I remember as a kid making these sounds. I remember how unusual it was and wasn't sure if it was ok to make such sounds. Thinking I was touching on some sort of witchcraft. And so dropped it. It's a cool sound. I don't think I could do it now.
Emm Bronte after a month it just came! I found through a wide range of tongue positions it is still possible to make such sounds. But I can't get rid of the background sounds. You do it so beautifully! I'm just in awe and amazed at your quick work of it. You have awesome sound. I wish I had an afternoon of tutoring. It's so cool. I will check to see if you have any other videos.thanks for sharing. By the way, I was in Mongolia a while back with my daughter. It's just like Nevada, USA.
@@chimpchowder5774 like riding a bike lol
@@marshallkohlhaas80 lol I remember when I forgot how to ride a bike and had to take a month trying different riding positions until I remembered how to do it.
You know i was hesitant to learn this because i thought the same thing!!! But my husband said God created music, the devil just uses it for evil, but its a beautiful thing! So im taking that advice
@@chimpchowder5774 The wholesome success story i needed today
I have been practicing every single day for the last three weeks. I’ve watched every video there is on TH-cam trying different exercises & methods & tongue & lip placements. This video is the last video I watched & I DID IT! I FINALLY GOT IT! I was in my car by myself last night trying & trying over & over again just as I have been doing every single day every chance I get. And I was trying the “moooore” sound when finally the mosquito buzz turned into a beautiful glorious flute-like whistle! Woooo! Hooo! I’m so excited. I just wanted to say thank you! Yeay
Yvette Marie omg this makes me so happy!!!! I am
So happy you go it!!! And stuck to it! I'd love to hear it 😃😃🙏🏽🙏🏽
Lucky... i can barely hear mine
I cant hear whistling not even the mosquito sound :(
Omg i haven’t try yet but i am so excited now for you🤩🤩🤩 i hope i would get it toooo
First time i could do it i was in the car too
Tutorial starts at 3:15
Cat Facts thank you!!!!!!
I see you’ve found what the fox says.
:P
this comment is underrated
This comment is underrated
Dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment is perfection. I love you, have sent you roses, and blew a kiss at you as i snatched your wig.
remember to drink warm water, not cold water. Cold water constricts your vocal cords
Bishop O'Dowd High School Thankyou for the advice!! I have been doing that and it is definitely helping 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you
What about scientific evidence to support your hypothesis?
Why should drinking water have an effect at all (unless the oral(!) mucosa is really dry = I'm not talking about the inner laryngeal mucosa)? This fairytale is told so often, that I need to comment on this:
*The water runs down the esophagus(!), while the larynx is 100% closed by the epiglottis, hence the water doesn't get anywhere near the vocal chords. Many people think the can somehow magically "lubricate" their vocal chords by drinking (water or all kinds of recipes, like milk with honey, etc). That's anatomical nonsense.*
The only thing it helps with is enjoying a placebo effect.
As for temperature and vocal chord "constriction": first of all, the vocal chords are ligament structures and no muscles, i.e. "active" constriction is impossible. Sure, they are accompanied by the thyreo-arytenoid, vocal and cricothyroid muscles, but it's not reasonable to assume that water running down the esophagus within fragments of a second and with a temperature differential of maybe 10 or 20 degrees is only remotely able to have an effect on the temperature of the inner larynx muscles. The same is true for effects on the vocal chords via thermal expansion. Not only is it impossible to significantly change the temperature of the vocal chords via drinking (maybe it is a bit by inhaling hot steam), but vocal chords are also relatively short structures and the thermal expansion coefficients of organic tissue make the idea of signficantly changing the vocal chord length via a few degrees of temperature differential ridiculous. So what about remote effects via reflexes? The only known reflex in that context is from swimming in extremely cold water / cold water drowning: the larynx is indeed known to shut, but we're talking about the glottis diameter and not vocal chord tension, hence it only impairs breathing resistance.
Now let's hypothesize for a second that for some weird reason you are indeed right and cold water constricts your vocal chord: constriction = increased tension = higher frequency. Now drink ice water and see for yourself if it turns you into a castrate or super-soprano. I have my doubts...
@@___Chris___ Could have left it as, "I doubt it" and not go to incredible lengths to prove your point. But, I get it. Do what you gotta do. I respect it.
@@___Chris___ so you think cough drops are a placebo too then?... I hope you're not also an anti vaxer.
This has blown my mind. WOW! I didn’t even know those sounds were humanly possible. It’s amazing.
Wow thankyou so much Wayne, I really appreciate your feedback :) xox
I’m absolutely fascinated. I look forward to hearing more from you :)
Me trying to communicate with aliens when they abduct me so I can complain about my problems
Zain Mughal hahah I feel you!!
Lol, this made me laugh!
Samantha Marie 😂
@@HarmonicPolyphonic I think you're so nice for still liking and replying to each and every comment. Thanks for this.
Zain Mughal of course 😃❤️I really appreciate people taking the time to watch xox have a beautiful day!
I was an only child, and I spent a LOT of time in my room by myself and I used to try new sounds with my voice and mouth just to keep myself entertained. By middle school, we had a choir teacher who told us about this and showed us a video. At the time, I felt so cool because I’d already figured it out, but I didn’t know it was a thing. This was 1982. I doubt I could do it now. I have teenagers at home, so I don’t quite have the same alone time as I had as a child. They’d have me hospitalized if I was practicing and they caught me!
Do you know how cool it would be to be able to this while just casually talking and you could be like lmao sry I got possessed it just randomly happens. I just found this cool thing though so I don't know hardly anything about it.
G Dragons Tongue hahahah omg yes so true!!!! Xx
Sorry I got possessed rofl
this comment is funny on a different level to me because the actor Misha Collins from supernatural is able to do it and did it at a con. so he brought me here and in supernatural there is alot of demon stuff
i tried this near my dog and it confused the ever loving shit out of him
Phboy hahaha yes my cat always looks so confused... like what are those noises and why are you looking at me?!
Ikrrrr... Everytime I did it he got up or looked at me tryna see what was in my mouth
@@HarmonicPolyphonic it made my cats get into a scrap one time!
Clarissa Smith haha so cute xoxo
Zsa Zsa Umbra hahah really?!? Hopefully they weren’t too scared. I feel my dog and cat are used to it now haha
For a beginner you teach it more effectively than most people. Thank you.
Rosannasfriend hey lovely ❤️I really appreciate your message and that you found
The video helpful XX
I went from never having tried it to actually making a sound just from watching this video once - thank you so much!
That is fantastic!! Great work ❤️
i can feel and hear the whistle very faintly in my voice, it's really cool! i'll keep practicing until i can make it sound louder!
Yes that is great to hear you can hear it!! Keep going :) xx
That is lit, she is the best I've seen so far
Clarissa Smith Thankyou lovely! Xox
I CAN HEAR IT I DID FOR THE FIRST TIME AND ITS QUIET BUT I DID IT OMFGGGGG
Yessss girl! Thats so amazing! :D :D Such a cool feeling hey haha
Cows love polyphonic singing. So beautiful and mystical
They really do!! They are so cute xx
Definitely a mindfulness practice. You need to stand above the full loop of the sound you create (action) and the sound you hear (perception). Amazing!
I love that reflection, thank you! xx
Absolutely love your humility, your definately getting it. Can't wait to see you progress. I am subscribing so I can follow your success. I've been able to get the low tones but getting the high pitched have eluded me so far. Bless you!
Blake Campbell Productions Hey Blake! Wow thankyou for your comment, I really appreciate you following along and taking time to connect! Have a beautiful day xox
@@HarmonicPolyphonic Thank you Emm, it seems like I go around doing Mongolian throat singing all day. I keep experimenting to get what you are doing. It's just so beautiful. You really have a peacefulness about you. I really enjoy watching your videos. Take care my friend. What you do is what I really enjoy about the youtube community. I have several friends that I communicate with because of our youtube channels. Have a great day.
My cat is giving me the craziest look right now as I try to do this!
Monisola Elliott hahah mine always does too! Xx
i cannot even begin to believe you produced _those_ sounds yourself. *especially* on the "more" sound.
bruh Thankyou so much!! I really appreciate the feedback 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was aware of like throat singing, but just heard of this technique. I'm in total shock. So cool
Happy you like it Ryan! xx
Great introduction to this ancient skill! Thank you:)
Aww thankyou
You are awesome Emm Bronte and I am very glad you took the time to share this. I have been practicing for about a year now but learned several new techniques because of you and will continue working on it. I am sharing this video with my lady so we can do this together! :) Much Love.
This was such a lovely comment thankyou! Enjoy practicing together xx much love
Fantastic! I felt the voice of the earth
What a beautiful comment, thankyou gorgeous xx
I wanted to let you know that this video you made was the most helpful for me to finally reach an actual melodic whistle, after a bunch of other tutorials weren't really descriptive enough. So thanks! Great skill.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Please let me know if there are any specific videos you would like to see 😊
This is a wonderful introductory video. I watched some introductory videos from Miroslav Grosser and Anna Maria Hefele from Germany about 3 years ago, and I'm still not as good as you ( lol ). I notice our NZ native birds are quite responsive to the overtone sounds, especially the songsters like our native, the Tui. A caged sulphur crested cockatoo kept at a nearby animal park gets excited by these sounds as well. I also practise throat whistling as it carries a long way, and one can reach lower notes that whistling with the front of the mouth will not reach. Both means of sound production are good for calling the horses from some distance. So, yes, my experience of overtones with animals is similar to yours. Keep making videos, as you present this topic very well.
Richard Swan wow that's so beautiful!!!! How special to connect with the animals like that 😊😊NZ would be such an incredible environment to practice in! Blessings 😊❤️🙏🏽
Wonderful practice and you explain and demonstrate so wellc
It's amazing how just a little practice can yield resullts.
I hear overtones even when I'm not practicing and my sinuses have never felt more open.
Thank you so much .
That is magical. I want to practice every day now thank you
IONA WOODS thanks lovely!! How is the practice going? 😍🙏🏽
🤩🤩🤩 this is the coolest thing ever!! Thank you for this video, I can’t wait to start!
Al A-Las H thank you so much for watching!! How
Is your progress going?
You sound awesome !
I'm very beginner and have started practicing overtone singing for this last 2 weeks, now I can hear my overtone constantly, but it still so quiet. I still need more practice to make it louder and clear like yours. Nice tutorial :))
Aww thankyou so much!!! Thats so exciting!!! Its such a good feeling hey :) xox
OMG first timer... I've been trying for like ten minutes and I think I'm getting it. I can hear it in my own voice but faintly. Practice time. Thank u for this video. This is so cool.
That’s amazing girl!! Do you think more practice helped? Curious what helped you as I know some others find it difficult to hear themselves
I love what you said about the animals. It has inspired me to start learning🔆🔅
Heather Cacioppo I’m so happy to hear that 😍let me know how it goes
Fascinating!!! Thank you for such a fun, informative demonstration of your talent! :-)
ThankYOU so much for watching :)
Your throat singing is actually amazing :o to the point where it sounds magical
Wow Thank you Jordan I appreciate that xx
E-u had me sounding like cardiB eeoooowww
Neljiam Lae 😂😂Love it xx
Gruuuuu gruuuuu
Kaaaa-kaaaaa
🤣
"Reconnecting with nature and animals " I love you
I love YOU! :D
You're SOO good I love it! My daughters are humming around the house now tryna make the Poly-synth vocals. Thx for sharing!
That’s so amazing!! Let me know how they enjoy it 😊😊🙏🏻
Watched a few other tutorial videos with no luck, but this technique finally made things click for me. Great stuff! My overtones are super weak, but I can actually produce and hear them now. Thanks! Also, idk why I’m here at 1am on a week night. 🤷🏼♀️
Haha hey gorgeous I’m so happy you can produce them and here them!! Let me know how your Practice is going 😊❤️
You're amazing for a beginner!
It sounds really beautiful ... and what a lovely experience you had with the animals. Thank you. I'll definitely try it.
Thank you so much Angela!! Let me know how you go 🙏🏻
You did a beautiful job! I’m trying to learn, too, and it’s fun feeling your voice move around your head like it’s traveling.
That is a great and creative metaphor! So true xx
Emm you are so lovely. Thank you so much for sharing with the world how you do this. I'm just starting my journey, with your sweet help. Very much appreciated. May God bless you. With love, Gee ❤️
These sounds make me happy
natika31able your comment makes me happy 😊
it sounds so magical
Elicia Ward thanks lovely 🙏🏻
I been trying this for a couple weeks, I can’t wait to figure out my own style with it
Hopefully you've stuck with it! xx
thank you so much ive learned throat singing in less than 2 hours lol coz i could already do the bass and i watch this video also maria’s video after that i could do throat sing im so happy that i could do it thank you ❤
That was amazing! For a beginner, that was really impressive. I can’t seem to get it right, but I’ll keep trying
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thankyou SO much
Yes keep trying
THANK YOU, WONDERFUL SHARING !!! Still trying to get the second tone louder than the base … but I'm unfortunately not very disciplined in exercising. At least I do it every day for a few minutes, it RAISES VIBRATION & MOOD, somehow HEALING :-) LOVE IT ! Blessings, love & light
Emm, you are a natural talent ! So great what you are showing us !
What a lovely comment! Thankyou so much for watching xox
Emm, overtone singing, I am enchanted and I am trying it for a while: you seem to make it easy ! You got to have a gift ! I am impressed !
I think it is amazing that you are also exploring the overtones
So sorry, I will have to disappoint you: at the best I get some faint overtones and need to stop because of overstressing my voice.That's why I commented with "You make it seem easy" ! More and more I am convinced individual physical differences play a big role. So: do keep posting your videos! Cheers ! :-)
I'm like a fool imitating the lips while listening to it, but without any sound xD.
Indorian hahaha sooner or later you will for sure!!! ❤️❤️
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! It’s absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you Brianna! xx
man I just recently came across this type of singing. The first video I saw I thought was just edited but then I realized it was real and my mind was blown
Illusory Bucket I’m happy you enjoyed it!! Xoxo
Really good and clear video. Throat singing the way you obviously can do it is so cool. Looking forward to the practice.
I appreciate that! Xx
How is your overtone so loud :O
יוחנן דוד hey there! I have some videos in now to amplify the overtone but definitely start by including some background noise and practicing in the bathroom or car!
whats going on with that paragraph? it coming out of the right side lol
Cardonix haha I asked myself the same question
Cardonix Probably because it has hebrew in it
Amazzzing!! Thankyou for sharing your experiences and methods!😊👌🙏
Nishad Phatak thank you so much for watching xx
I like your story with animals. I learned how to whistle like a bird, it works too! I was really surprised the first time some birds came closed to me as I was practicing bird whistling. Now I'll try to get polyphony and talk to foxes like you!
Wow I love this!!! So special
I can do the polyphonic singing but I can not get it as loud as you. That is really clear and amazing. Great work.
Thanks David! Mind you, there were very good acoustics in this room, which make a big difference xx
It’s visually deceiving to hear what you’re able to create with your voice as well as fascinating to listen to even at this stage of your training. I look forward to hearing what you’ll create in the future once you fully commit to it. Once you do I would like to hear your interpretation of Inner Universe by Origa. I’m sure it will be vastly different from her original but interesting and enjoyable as well none the less.
Z-Mack Dos 6 Echo Thankyou amazing human!!!! I will keep practicing and looking forward to exploring the song xox
Hi +Emm
I absolutely loved this! I am new to polyphonic singing and am so keen to learn.
What an inspiration you are!
Thank you for sharing.

(listening from Melbourne AU)
Hey girl I am so happy you are learning! Feel free to connect on insta if you have any questions 😊
@@HarmonicPolyphonic Thanks!!
You're amazing!! SO glad I found this vid and YOU!
You TOTALLY have it!!!
Thankyou beautiful!! xoxo
Awesome! Some great examples here. I've been practicing this away from anyone listening haha, but this gives me ideas to find some more control. Thanks!
Thanks lovely! Yes I practiced alone for quite a while but I am sure will practice you will sound amazing as I am sure you do already :)
I haven’t read all the comments but I wanted to mention “muppet” voices. Bowing of the throat like the Kermit, the frog voice can create another overtone. Likewise, the Cookie Monster voice is good for some of the deeper overtone singing styles. Possibly good to note as well, that there is an overtone, which comes through the nasal cavity, another from the tongue to the roof of the mouth shape, bowed throat, overtone, as well as the low drone similar to Buddhist monks which can create overtones as well.
ive been trying for a while, will definetely come here a couple times a day and see of im finally able to do it!
Have you been able to do it yet? Xx
@@HarmonicPolyphonic still wasnt able to, but i sometimes hear it a little bit(? if that makes sense,,,
Every time I play a part of you making these sounds my cat goes nuts meowing!
Haha my cat does the same! xx
I just have to watch it with my mouth open I am absolutely fascinated😮
So glad you enjoyed xx
just realized after watching you that when the overtone sound is separated it is very much like a whistling, lol.
the same tongue movement (from e to u) is used to control pitch while whistling, so combining voice tone with whistling feels weird a bit and requires a lot of air and tongue control but it becomes significantly louder in overall...
the lower pitch you want the lower "u/f" it becomes, same way the higher pitch you want the more "e/v" it gets
in terms of breath control the lower you go with this the stronger air flow is required, the higher - the lesser flow, but flow means that it is constant.
idk maybe that will help someone
p.s. Great job, lady! your lovely voice and eyes are inspiring! thank you
Thank you Artem! The funny thing is I can't actually whistle haha. I appreciate your reflection and share and sure others will find it helpful xx thanks for watching!
it sounds amazing, you look amazing, plus thank you for sharing knowledge! :) would try to practice it as much as possible
That’s so sweet thank you so much. How is your practice going?
Baitiful..theres nothing written about what diferent people love or prefer .you have a great beautiful energy KEEP IT UP
Thank you Marisa! xx
I did this once by accident and it freaked me the fuck out, and I’ve been trying (on and off) ever since to recreate it.
Haha that is great!! Hopefully you continued :) xx
This is fantastic! Thank you for the help! I'd love to feature you in my choir one day!
Haha I am touched, thankyou :) xoxox
You're amazing !!
Very helpful! Thank you so much! Good post!
Thankyou so much Nick!! :)
Oh My Gosh You Are Amazing I Have Been Obsessed For Two Years And Finally Can Do It Myself I Am 11 Years Old Thank You For Making My Dreams Come True!
Thanks for watching lovely xx
Wow 😍 😍 I actually thought you used a voice effect.... It's unbelievable
Thankyou so much
Wow, this is otherworldly ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Xx
Thanks for your awesome video, Your Polyphonics sound beautiful :) Ive been practicing & practicing & At this point i can do it the best when my tongue is touching the roof of my mouth.... is that right? or should my tongue be out of the way? Have you run into this or have any advice for me at this point? I agree that practicing is also meditation. Even tho im still learning, practicing in nature has been really magical & Ive also had lessons in dreams which has got me this far. & After practicing I can hear the Polyphonic tones in other peoples voices or an hour or so, which is trippy. Thanks again :)
LionsTooth hey!!! 💯😊That's what I find as well. When I do the 'nnnnn' or 'mmmm' I move my tongue slowly from just behind my teeth to the very back of my mouth and curl it back to my throat. Then I will move it from the bottom of my mouth ( just behind the lower teeth) to the roof of the mouth. This way I get a full range and see what works. Most of the time the top
Of mouth works best like you said xox
Thank you very much for your help.Have a beautiful day🌞💫
I hope you have a beautiful day too xx
thank you for sharing this!
I love you thank you for being who you are !!!
Najwa Ahmad SO much love
Xx Thankyou for being you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your voice is amazing ~thx for sharing
mbarkmusic wow Thankyou so much!!
Breathtaking video, thanks for doing it!
I'm just curious about one thing: is it possible to sing the guitar part in the pinch harmonics part in Magma by Gojira using the overtones?
Pitíčkárna hello 😃Oooo I will have to have a look and listen 😃Have you started practicing polyphonic singing? I feel Anne Maria Hefle (sorry if mis spelt) is incredible at doing melodies so I can see it would be possible!
My ears my eyes stunned by you 🥰
alex a wow thanks Alex that’s so lovely 😊Hope you are having a good day!
This is great my fellow overtone singer! :)
Thankyou!! You sound incredible!!
Just keep playing around Jeffrey! You will get a feel for what sounds good to you
Thanks! I really like how pure and your overtones are :)
Wonderful Thanks for the great tips
Rick Emmons Thankyou so much for watching!!! Xoxo
Thank you so much! It helped me a lot ;)
Clei thank You! For watching 😊
Watching you just sink into it helped me understand. I can produce a few soft overtones now. Let’s hope practice helps
How is your practice going Xena? xx
@@HarmonicPolyphonic ooh haven’t thought about it as much lately. But I’ll keep working on it!
Dang sounds awesome!!!

Thankyou Eris for watching :) xox
Thank you x3
This is my new meditation.
I was like in a trance whem i was kinda doing it
Thats amazing!! I'm so happy you are learning. How did you hear about polyphonic singing?
@@HarmonicPolyphonic
To be honest i saw a video of some guy on youtube but it didnt say it was polyphonic singing . I thought it was humorous at first but later on in time i saw a video on polyphonic singing.( video of a girl explaining in a white and black filter.). Once i understood about producing these vibrations. i was so intrigued. Im into spirituality and connect with strongs frecuencys or vibrations. (Singing bowls) !!
This is a good way to be my own "singing bowl"🙏😇😭
*Lovely!* 🎶💕🎶
Dorothy G. Tyas thank you kind soul x

Thank you for this video! I am a voice performance student and am using this to help me find my “ring” through vocal mindfulness practices such as these. :)
Love it!! Amazing to see how many people actually explore overtones~ xox
Wow! Fantastic, best wishes!

Wonderful!♥️
Thank you so much!!
This is amazing!
Thank you Allison! Xx
Novice or not, this was a very helpful video in gaining understanding of some of the intricacies of singing overtones.
Well done, and thank you.
I’m really happy it was helpful! Xx
Hypnoticlly beautiful x

wow..do you let the nose vibrate? I mean, do you let air come out of your nose?
Congratulations, I really enjoyed the lesson! :)
Aniello De Sena hey 😊No I don't! Purely from the mouth, contracting and constructing the vocal chords in different ways and tongue placements 🙏🏽
