Here is part three in a video series exploring How To Overtone Sing and Throat Sing. This video focuses on the "sygyt", two cavity style, whereby the tongue hovers against, and moves forward and back upon, the upper palette. Though I no longer offer lesson via SKYPE, I do consider remote recording projects for movies, television, and of course, the music industry! What a shame when something becomes an "industry". alexglenfield(at)hotmail.com

I think I need to cry
I start and Pause your vid for like an hour now and the gab between tongue and roof of mouth is key really. Learning the brain to vibrated at the gab then the noise came clearly! It was there before but numb
I've tried to do this a bunch of times, I used to spend hours in car journeys to work trying to make overtones. 5 minutes into this video, and I suddenly started to produce them. Hehe, amazing :) It really helped when you talked in detail about tongue position. Thanks!
You are welcome! The car is a great practice space. Windshield reflects sound back to you and the hum of the engine filters mid range vocal frequencies even further!
I've been doing the same too, practising in car and in shower. When I first heard the high pitch overtones I was very excited, I didn't realise it's possible to produce by me. Interesting to note that, I didn't have to use my tongue on roof to produce the sygyt
I'm glad I'm not alone in enjoying my car ride overtone singing time! Singing Sygyt style relaxes me like almost nothing else, there is something so calming and comforting about the controlled breath and the embouchure. All my stress just melted away.
@@Glenfuch I can kind of hear some of the harmonics… it’s very subtle but I can hear something so I’m proud of that. The only thing I don’t understand is the nose part.
DUDE! same here lol. my car rides are full of the lower tones. i was almost giving up and this made my day. Thanks Alex!
I hear this whistling sound from the woods behind my house all the time! I'm gonna whistle back at it now that I know how to do it!!
This made me smile wider than I should have
So I found a beginner method that helps pretty much offers instant results. Unfortunately it's only really for anyone who is fluent/familiar with Spanish. The word "El" in Spanish puts your tongue exactly where it needs to be when someone is describing "two chambers" in the mouth. Say "el", keep position of your tongue and jut your lower jaw forward. The word "el" even kinda makes your jaw move forward naturally. Start "humming" from your throat and you should be able to hear the whistle!
Tu que estas asiendo aqui
Thanks!
Deltan, I instantly heard the whistle because of the él, after having been NEVER able to get the sound for quite a while. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
also works with polish
Holly s*it that's work
I too, look to the sides before I practice throatsinging outside. 😂
A few months ago I was talking like a smoker as a joke and accidentally realized I can do the Mongolian throat singing stuff and I’ve been looking into it and learning you’re the first video I found that’s been able to actually help and get it to where I can do the overtone thing thank you
You just made click in my mind
What's ur impression of a smoker? U mean like raspy low pitch or the whistling?
I've been practicing kargyrra and sygyt for a month, found out the key is try to relax the muscles as much as you can while finding the right sensation--this is to make the wind and cavity resonate wildly, just like playing woodwinds
Alex, these videos are incredibly helpful! Never have I witnessed such a poetic blend of practical and metaphorical example on a given subject. Delivered in a Goldblumesque style, professional and rich in content. Thanks, and please continue these great videos.
Ha! Yes, there is a bit of Jeff in there. I don't know how, but it definitely didn't happen during a botched teleportation experiment.
I was super frustrated because I wasn't hearing any overtones untill you said the lower the tone you sing, the lower and quieter the harmonics. I guess having a deep voice helps with kargyraa but not sygyt😂. Thanks for this helpful video, I started hearing overtones once I started singing a higher pitch.
Hey Alex, I remember emailing you about 8 years ago about Khoomei. It's charming to see you've got a TH-cam channel and still passionate about throat singing.
My best wishes,
This is what an excellent teacher looks like
Love the intro to this. You have a Karl Sagan-ish to you voice and delivery. Very nice on the ears.
Another video!! And my favorite style sygyt. THANKS Alex!!
Thank you for taking the time to teach us. Much appreciated, much loved...
Thanks Alex. Great lessons. my family thinks i find particularly annoying things to learn from youtube. But i love this stuff. 🎉
You're a great teacher. Thank you!
This was so helpful! Great teacher
Great life messages here ! Thank you Alex ;)
Wonderful teaching! Very well-spoken, thank you.
The final words were very moving, thanks for sharing them!
just adore the way you speak about sounds
Not only do we get a great video on an amazing singing style, Alex also gives us lessons on being, perception, humanity, lucidity, and the music of nature. Love these vids and this truly inspiring teacher!
Best tutorial!!! A big Thank you!!!
Thank you for your generosity,your time and presence!🙏
Alex, you honor us with the wisdom you have selflessly shared with the world. Thank you dearly.
Started messing around with this type of singing recently, I was pretty surprised to notice how similar the mouth/tongue/throat control is to controlling overtones on the saxophone. Very helpful video!
Thanks so much man! Its a pleasure to hear you speak about throat singing, life and whatnot!
The single best video for this singing style I have ever come across
Literally this video just taught me everything
That's genius! That video was more helpful than most others I watched. Thanks!
What a great teaching. Your a amazing teacher. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks so much Alex for these amazing gifts..........thank you for your kindness and generosity 🙏🏼💜
These videos are fantastic, you’re clearly so knowledgeable and in touch with your own body. The singing sounds so good. Thank you 🙏
Love your teachings but your performances are what do it for me.
Thanks you make me happy from Argentina
thanks for this " using tounge " techniques. i needed that to realy produce the whistle
You're a great teacher lve seen a bunch of vids about throat singing and nothing helped but the way you explained it made it feel so natural
I went from not having a clue how to do this to being surprisingly close to getting the nice higher notes thanks to this video. Thank you so much!
i was in amazement when i came across this style of singing...when i was a teen i would do this and i loved it and i just thought it was something quirky i could do .... i never thought it was something that i wanted to achieve for a reason....its been many years since i tried so now i need to find a moment that my family dont look at me like ive lost my mind trying to see if i can still do this.... for me it would cause a calming effect and i bet its good for meditation...
This is excellent! Been practicing (struggling) for months and this video improved my skills immensely in just a few hours! Thank you so much
Wow. Been practising höömei for a while. Combined with this I was finally able to produce my first sygyt sounds! The moment where it all clicked was amazing. Thank you!!
Wow this is the best tutorial I've seen. Very helpful
Same here! This is so comprehensive
Alex, you're my new favorite person. I'm following along w your instruction and I'm loving learning these styles. I think I was Mongolian in a past life. The hoomeihg and kargyrah feel familiar when doing it. The sygyt is tougher but all in due time. Thanks for makeing these videos!
I would like to thank you for your useful tutorials, I loved them!
TH-cam is full of videos about all styles of throat singing but none of them is as clarifying as yours!
I really went deeper in the understanding of these techniques thanks to your explanations about the general context in which those are practiced.
Nothing more to say than Thank you!
(amateur throat singer from Italy)
las palabras finales ,fueron muy emocionantes ,gracias por compartirlas¡¡¡
Thank you very much, Alex! Your videos are exactly what I need these days. Now, in isolation, I have a good opportunity to spend hours in fields far away from people and not to harm anybody with my throat singing exersises :)
You have a great voice!
Helped me a lot. Thanks
by minute 35 I thought you had all ready taught me so much. But those words at the end. It was something i needed to hear. Thank you. Not necessarily regarding to overtone singing, but to everything I do. I am very thankful to have watched this untill the last second.
you real sensai !! blessings !!
really, BIG thank you for your videos "How To Throat Sing" !!! a lot of informations & exercices !!
alex you are a legend !
YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER BROTHER
Experimenting with the whispering voice was an awesome tip, completely changed my perspective and the volume I can reach with the overtones. Thank you, Alex I really appreciate it!
Glad the whisper, mirror fogging, ocean breath technique works for you. It seems to work for many! Much gentler than the alternatives.
@@Glenfuch Thanks again!
I've seen plenty of tutorials, and I have to say. I've seen most improvements with your in-depth explanations. Thank you.
The whisper from the Khoomei video helped me a lot! Thanks! I'm also finding that I have a better time with Sygyt when I direct my tongue to my right molar. It really is kind of a journey where you find out what works for you and what doesn't. Still have trouble with Kargyraa though. x)
Lol I started to get it at 19:00 and then started to do it in khoomei as right before you said that then synced with you doing it. I don't think I would have understood without you saying to try in singing voice first that helped alot!!!! Your really an amazing teacher helped me learn so much!
I’ve been watching throat singing videos of all cultural groups for months, I’ve never attempted to try it out before but today I finally decided to attempt it because your video amazed me at how easy it seemed to understand how to do, overwhelmed with adrenaline because I was able to make a pitch here and there, so excited to keep trying and practicing.
thank you so much for your instructions
Thanks for this video dude. I started practicing about two months ago on my drives to/from work and I've gotten pretty decent
Thank you very much for this, i found that i got a favourite note (tonic) to do it, is an Eb, is where i got the best results, Thanks Alex!
좋은 영상 감사합니다.
Thank you master
Very much appreciated
First video that I've watched on Sygyt that I've been able to hear my overtones
Dude..........
Thanks.very helpful.
Deep soliloquy to cap it off.
much appreciated
Damn you cracked it for me. Turns out I was doing only R's as you mentioned but once I incorporated the L's and switched the shape of the tounge the harmonics got higher and became more pronounced. Great lesson. Tnx alot :)
That was really interesting!!!
Alex is so great! Thank you for this series
I LOVE THESE NEW VIDEOS A LOT ... PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE ;)
I'm on it! Next video will be kargyraa
@@Glenfuch THATS GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH .. I LOVE KARGYRAA !! :)
Wow, I dropped in on your vid before I exit my vehicle to got to work to gather something to practice and talk about guidance from the universe, we are wearing the same cap. The patern of my leather is slightly different (I have a basketball style stitch patern as opposed to your cross /row layers) but none the less the same leather cap . Nice
Thank you, great video! A lot of practice ahead of me :-) I would love Skype lessons if you were still doing them. Transmitting your knowledge in this way is so generous.
Oh! my! I've started my adventure with discovering my voice abilities with your videos but i didn't really believed i can do THIS! I've just made barely a little bit of this whistling and i'm so surprised and excited! You're really making a piece of excellent job and I believe you don't really know how thankful people are to You! You're great teacher even with one-way contact
I think this singing is beautiful. There is something meditative about this
Thanks for the Video
I’m not fully convinced that Alex and Alton Brown aren’t the same person.
I pity the other one who has to share me with me!
this is gold
Thank you so much
I'm so grateful for these videos!! No one else on YT is teaching in this way. I am a sound/reiki healer and have recently been guided to learn how to do this for my sessions. I found it curious that it is mostly a male dominated style though there are some woman who do it. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you Alex.
gracias solo usted enseña las verdaderas técnicas
It’s my fave!!
Okay, I am saving this video and quoting you by name, as the analytic and pragmatic approach to Esoterics of Koomei and Sygyt throat singing styles. However, 2 days ago, I had no idea what Koomei and Sygyt, but now I can do any of it. I already knew I was throat singing prodigy because of my Kagyraa throat singing. I am the Kagyraa King. There are no other humans better at Kagyraa than, and the only way to become better than me is by learning from me. First of all, Koomei and Sygyt are fundamental controlling techniques. they can only be done up and with control of the Diodes. Kagyraa is 2 actual real notes. It can be upside-down or right-side up. However, if 1 throat sings upside-down, they can choose autonomous diodes for Kagyraa Counterpoint throat singing.
Next, I need to research the beginnings of guttural singing, I will tell you now, if upward singing a Major 3rd in throat singing Kagyraa 1 can use extra negative energy of the diaphragm to deviate airflow 4 times, 2 Unisons a third above, and Inverted 5th bellow Full Chord Kagyraa throat singing, and even Chord Progression singing. This is a link to me singing an arrangement of Counterpoint and a Chord, completely possible, even though all of these things were said to be impossible.

You should know what Shankh Mudra is. It adds Overtones. It will greatly improve your fundamentals.
I did not practice actual Tibetan throat singing styles. I practiced my interval Esoterica, Key Characteristic Esoterica, Overtone Series Esoterica, and dove head first into neurolinguistic Esoterica; then built my own Esotericas for techniques, all out in the open, just focusing on maximizing neurolinguistics and music theory grade to their highest points.
You are pragmatic. I can teach you everything. You can learn it. It gets high on enlightenment itself. I'm not allowed to throat sing. I live at my dad's house. I am very poor. I don't want to die a starving artis, while I'm the best in the world at shit. They just don't let me participate in the real world. Dude, help me; I am a real person. You have not heard about this because nobody knows about this because I live in a fucking abusive. Don't take my for it. How about this, I will post 2 TH-cam on this account right here. Don't click on a fucking TikTok link. Just wait 10 minutes to a month or however long it takes you. I don't care. I'm writing my book. You're going to be in my book. My book is a big book of Esoterica. My book is called How to Write Original Chord Progressions & I'll See You in Hell. That's the name. It is a spatial relations endowment course, along Perfect Pitch development theory, Key Characteristics theory. Testosterone and adrenaline exacerbation, I will fit as much as I can. My name is Bradley Paul Delcorde, φ is my Signature for writing this Chord Progression 6 Major 5 Major 1 Major. It's a real Chord Progression. I have over 50 Chord Progressions, more than back. This account actually has 90% of my Chord Progressions in shifty videos. This is not what TikTok or Twitter are like.
I will post 2 videos. One is just a sweet song. The latest 1 will be me explaining shit frantically because I am rushed for time. I do not get to practice. U KNOW WHAT THE WORST PART IS? WHAT DO I PUT ON MY FUCKING RESUME? THAT I SING CHORDS, HUH?🎉
hold on bro ill call 911 for you keep breathing
@copicsnizch k, bro; u call the cops & have fun. Don't get me involved, though. I don't need cops, I don't need doctors, I don't need a lot, I HAVE THE BEST NEUROLINGUISTICS FOO'! KUSHTIPEN KAKA! CUSHTY! BUYO-YO-YOOOO! OLÉ! OLÉ! CARPE DIEME! CARPE DZ NUTS! I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL!
Greetings Alex! Im practicing daily and using your videos to improve and adjust! However I can't properly produce that whistle sound... When it does come out, it is quite low volume and if I try to adjust my tongue it almost goes away. I wonder what should I do to improve this sound...
If you can provide some guidance over this matter I will apreciate it so much! Btw you are a incredible person and I can't express how gratefull I am for your tutorials.
Amazing work!
Cheers from Brazil!
I've managed to produce some overtone sounds but they are, as you say, all over the place.
I will keep working on it
Hey this is awsome content. Thanks for giving away for free man! Very generous
Thank you so much Alex, i really enjoy the exercicies, i hope one day i can throat singing. Im training the last video
Sorry for the bad english, im from Brazil (Also the language is being a difficult, but i will continue
Hi Walter! How's Jesse Pinkman? ;D
@@rontan8433 don't know man, o didin't watch el camino 😂
I speak quickly too. I wish I could offer you translation. However, as a Spanish or Portuguese speaker, you have some advantage with the ease of vowel formation.
@@Glenfuch im training every day, its been pretty dificult to find my khoomei voice.
@@Glenfuch Thanks Alex. I'm speaker of Spanish and it's real that you say.
funny video! :). im practicing. hope i will learn it one day. i think i am close cuz i hear the whistle thing, but just very very low sound i guess
I second each and every comment (I've read, at least), but I wanna add, the last part transforms into a Sun Ra meets David Toop meets Maurice Merleau-Ponty trip!
Kind of singing that makes me want to sip yak milk and get freaky in a tent with my mongol lady friend.
Lmao
what in the name of god...
Out of big amount of paid courses this free video is the most informative. Not sure if you guys would find better explanation
Hi Alex! First of all, thank you very much for making these fantastic videos about xoomei. I think, I got an idea that I can experiment with something like that after seeing your first introductory video a year ago... Since then I practice, practice and practice. And well, it is a pleasure to take a walk inside of your own voice :) So far I have found many surprises... I wanted to ask you about one of the discoveries: do you think there are wolf tones in Sygyt? Based on whatever fundamental, I tend to isolate one very loud overtone. This overtone is many times louder then all other 'melodic" overtones. Also, I have to say, my melodic overtones sound quite miserable...
Technical and unexpectedly philosophical. A trip.
Just like life
bro. YES!
A very informative video, thanks for sharing! I have been doing "just" overtone singing for a decade, without paying attention to the traditional details. (Actually, your most viewed video started my journey. ) I recently started to go into other depths, so your video was just on time. Cheers!
Excellent video, thank you for this. I'm very curious about the origins and culture surrounding this style. I heard once it was used by shepherds and was traditionally sung over water because the overtones carried over the water. Do you know anything about this?
what a description, you should teach everything .
I'm having a great time learning from you, Growing up I always had thought throat singing was a special gift only few could do. Now, little by little I am getting the pure tones from studying from you. I just have one question though, When I attempt sygyt, I'm not sure if I should keep my soft palate pressed flush against the back of my throat to close off the sinuses, or to keep it open and allow sound to resonate through the sinus cavities. Please let me know which is correct!
Any tips on how to increase the volume of my sygyt and lower the basic tone? Thanks for this tutorial \m/
Hello Mr. Glenfield . Im Pino Nessi a student from Zurich, Switzerland and im working right now on my thesis,Final project, which will be about Mongolian Throatsinging. But i cant answer alot of questions i have with the internet. so i wanted to ask you if it would be possible to have a little interview with you.because maybe you can answer some questions. Thanks for your time. Yours faithfully Pino Nessi
I would pay you if you could explain it like I were a 10 year old, my brain is not the fastest.
You are very good and very talented but I just can't get the hang of it after over a year of practice.
I got the deep stuff down no problem but when it comes to that whistle, whatever its called, I can't seem to get it.
I'm going to figure it out eventually and when I do I'm going to freak out in the best way possible.
good ending
That’s how I sound before my coffee
