Today's video is a response to Darrius M. He writes, "I sing mostly pop and pop rock and I want to add lots of power and edge to my tone. Are there any really good exercises that I could do or add to my warm up that would help me?"
Thank you for your question, Darius! I hope this video helps you with learning how to sing with more power and edge. Please keep in mind that these are advanced singing topics. If you do not have the proper foundation of practice in place, you could hurt yourself. This kind of lesson would best be done with a vocal coach. If you are interested in taking private voice lessons with me, I offer them face-to-face at my studio or via Skype. Should you have a video that you would like me to review, I also offer vocal evaluations through my website: www.madeleineha...
Thanks for joining me today. I look forward to hearing you sing!

I wish I had a coach like you!!!
These videos actually helped. And I truly mean that I’ve been teaching myself to sing with your videos along with videos from other vocal coaches but you are by far the best and most expressive. I have gotten a little bit better just from your videos. Thank you :)))
after i did this inside my room, as i was going to the kitchen, suddenly all eyes on me..... narrowly.....
*I'll do it when I'm alone next time* .....
Each of your videos is a gem, thank you so much Madeleine !
Thank you sooooo much Jean- Luc! I'm really glad you're enjoying them!!
Madeleine you rock! You are really amazing atteaching about voices and singing, and your pronounciation is simply amazin' as well. Kisses from Denmark, I learned a lot from you
3:58 when momma goat says you can't have any more milk
Nice panda shirt ;)
Yes, you're videos are amazing. They're incredible
I’m watching this, because I’m singing “Ain’t it fun” & “Still Into You” by Paramore, and “Sweet but Psycho” by Ava Max for an event, and I do have edge to my voice but it’s kind of a “deeper” edge (I don’t know if that makes sense), instead of a “surface” edge. So I’m really good at rock Ballads, but not really upbeated songs lol...I’m working on putting more edge and emphasis into upbeat songs, while trying to not sound like I’m trying too hard lol...any more tips for me??? Because the songs I’m singing are more upbeat hahaha..
My actual TH-cam channel is Chey Taylor, if u don’t know what I mean by deeper edge.
It’d mean a lot if you had any tips, but I know this video was posting quite a while back lol. 😂🖤
Omg ! It was sooooooo helpful ! A giant thanks from France !
Ms. Harvey,
I could not be more pleased to find your amazing videos! I have learned more from watching your instructional videos than I learned in four years studying voice at Indiana University in Bloomington Indiana.
Thank you very much!
Can u please do a basics video for vocal beginners like myself who just hopped on the vocal bandwagon 😁 such as how to find your range and vocal type, vibrato, mis consumption about singing and so on.. 😘💗
***** great, but what about vibrato, to me i think adding this technique really makes the voice sound polished and refined, but it's not as easy as i thought :(
+Boda.B HI there! Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you liked the video! I'd be happy to put a video out there for you on any of these topics. This information is presented to you in a way that allows you to feel what works best for you, and what doesn't. So take what resonates with you, and leave the rest for later. The only rule with singing that I have is 1.) Does it feel good to me? 2.) Does it communicate what I'm trying to express in my heart? Your speaking voice will reveal so much to you about your singing voice. So pay attention to the quality of the way your speech feels. And PLAY as often as you can with lengthening your speech to sound melodic. That will put you in touch with feeling your singing as if you are speaking...just on pitch. As you are playing, try not to mentalize your singing process so much in terms of right and wrong. Only 1.) Does it feel good? 2.) Does my sound express how I feel in my heart.
Here are a couple of videos that I think may answer some of your questions..

Your vocal classification really refers to the thickness of your vocal cords. Alto's will have a earthier, darker tone. (Think Adel) Mezzo Sopranos will have a punchy mid level - high focused tone (think Christina Aguilera, or Beyonce) and Sopranos have a sharp bight focused tone (Avril Lavigne, Ariana Grande) As you can see, vocal classification doesn't refer to how low or high you can sing, because these ladies have wonderful ranges...it's really referring to where you feel the sweetest, most delicious parts of your range exist for you. I hope that answers your question! Thank you again for commenting! Happy Singing!
Madeleine Harvey thank you very much for your help, i'm not aspiring to become a singer or anything, i just want to learn what's enough for me and do so in a healthy way ;) you have been a great help.. and i'm very glad you actually take time to write back to your comments which is so rare.. you are a great teacher and keep rockin' hunnie ;3 PS: i have a really nosy high pitched voice (vanessa hudgens like) but hey if she can do it so can i, right?
+Madeleine Harvey Sorry to mind you here, since you replied comments but ignored mine I don't know if I offended you (if that, I'm really sorry). But I really want to know: Should I watch and learn from both Felicia Ricci and you? I don't mean like "Hey I think you're good but she's cooler so I don't know who should I follow?" NO I DON'T MEAN THAT because I totally can't judge. What I mean is as a beginner who's practicing alone (maybe for now), could taking it/learning from different vocal coachs/many vocal coachs make me more confused and stressful? Because I'm really serious about this finding my singing voice, It means so much to me, and I want to work in a productive way.
(I'm not really good at English, hope I don't use any wrong words)
+CompliCatted thank you for your comment. To answer your question..the biggest freedom you have with studying through TH-cam is that of choice. There is exposure to many ideas and teaching styles. So you are free to choose what exercises work best for you. It's really not so much of an issue of becoming confused or stressed..it's more about exploring your voice and deciding what resonates best for you. What puts you in touch with your voice best? It doesn't have to be this or that, it could be this AND that. In regards to my delayed response to your question, I try to respond with comments as my work schedule permits. If you feel your question was overlooked, it was not intentional. Thank you for watching these videos! I hope to see you here again soon!
!!! im so exciteddd!!!
amazing!!!! i just learned now how to skip the throat straight to the head!!!
madeleine u r the best!!!
Thank you so much, Madeleine! I've been struggling with it for so many years. You and your lessons are incredible. Love you 💓💓
Thanks for making this video its the vocal techniqe that i've been wanting to learn😊😊😊
I am a tenor due to a pituitary tumor, I both love and hate my voice. I come from the background with the love for rock and metal music, but also soft ballads, jazz and choral music. Ultimately I want to focus on my rock and metal sound and I've just discovered you're videos so I haven't yet implemented these techniques. Because of my history, I have maintained a soft, weak voice that sounds good in pitch but lacking in overall tone, Volume/strength, power. What extra advice might you have for me?
It would be really help if you could help us how to structure a practice routine.
You have helped me so much especially since I have never had any training!
do people have different pitch/note limits? Like some people can't sing a higher note but some can. If yes, how do I know if I already reached my limit? Thanks so much! Your videos really help a lot!!!!!
I love your videos! Your personality makes them even better
I currently have a week to learn and perform a group performance... I know the song fairly well, but the song is almost a country rock kind of vibe, and I have the raspy solo but my voice isn't raspy at all... Thanks for the tips, it helps a ton
You are so fun to watch! I feel so lucky to have found you today! You kill me actually! LOL!
I can't believe you don't have over a million subscribers
Thank you Brooklynn! #oneday
i know right, shes amazing!!
i have my first performance on sunday, my teacher says it's infront of around 40 people, i've never sang infront of anyone, ever and i'm so nervous. i have only been having lessons for 4 months, im really scared and i was wondering if you have any tips , love your videos!!!
you are amazing
OMG, I Love Madeline Harvey 😁
people say when I sing, there is no emotion in it...it's like the song is without a soul. what do I do?
I love your videos...
Nice panda shirt and this video is very helpful
Nice video!
hello from Brazil.
Do you have a quick fix for a light Soprano voice ( i think) with a high larynx and very little resonance ?
+nancyann78 If your larynx is high, that is going to drastically limit your resonance. I would suggest playing with with narrow vowels, like "EEE" and "OOO." This will get your column of air focusing towards your face while keeping your larynx stable. You could even pretend a little "opera diva" as you over exaggerate the shape of the both the EE and OO. (But shape the EE sound more like a OO on your lips, while feeling the EE in the back. ) I know that's werid - but think "Fish lips" as you create that shape. This keeps your tone forward and your larynx in a stable position. It also adds polish on your overall sound. Let me know if this helps! Can't wait to hear you sing!
thank you!!
thanks for the tip!
Great Video again Madeleine :D. I was just wondering... Do you have any examples of singers that use this sound with a propper technique?
thank you
this helps a lot. but why do I feel like when I sing, I'm just talking but just adding a little more? is that suppose to be correct?
Absolutely! Singing is ALOT like talking. "Sustained speech over a variety of pitches"
Without vocal power, I feel like singing’s boring but I guess I just like edge.
How and where exactly do I focus on my breath? What do I have to be thinking of when inhaling?
And exhaling
+Arturo Valdivia My mantra for the inhale/exhale process is open in - open out. As you are guiding the breath into the face, think of the voice gliding on the breath in the same way a sigh feels. Sigh upwards into your facial resonators.
Ahhh okay that makes a lot sense, thank you! Would the same apply for hissing when working on exhaling? Do I think of like I'm sighing when releasing?
Can you help me sing more clearly and smoothly
More pureness
I have watched your videos recently and I liked it!(I subscribed too!) I have one question: Should I watch and learn from both Felicia Ricci and you? Since I'm working on my voice alone, I'm practicing on my own, maybe for now, so I don't know if that is too much and if it'll make me feel confused.
Your videos are awesome Madeleine,I have a request for you.Can we learn to sing with melisma? like Jessica Sanchez in the song "the prayer" where she shows a lot of vibrato too? thank you!
I want to know about vocal velocity. Was at an audition and was told I had a beautiful voice but need to work on vocal velocity.
I am facing so many problems during singing. I cannot hit notes with power, voice breaks and shakes and so on. I give up.
Can you make. A video to release tension and not get it when u sing plz
My singing voice is different with my speaking voice, usually they would tell me, is that really you singing? Is that wrong?
Nice! How to use twang? What it is and which singers use twang?
How do I get my voice up a lot higher? my voice is a little lower I I want it to be higher, but not being squeaky, with a little more power?
HI There! Thanks for your question! Developing a higher tone quality is a combination of things such as resonance and vocal cord coordinations. Here is a video that I think will get you started..It addresses vocal cord coordinations th-cam.com/video/9lRRF6lJtJE/w-d-xo.html I'm putting up another video tonight about "How to develop Head Voice" and that will help at aiming your resonance into your head spaces without any squeakiness. I hope this helps! Lots of love!
How do you have attitude while singing
You never seize to amaze me I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH !!!!🌞I always learn valuable skills !
Cora, you are so sweet! Thank you for your feedback! I truly appreciate it! If there is something you would like to learn, don't be a stranger! Lots of love!
Awww ThankYou so much Madeleine I actually would really love to ask you, to judge my voice and please tell me what I am doing wrong, can I send you a video or can you please see my channel I have put covers up, but my quality is very poor, and I post videos but I never actually feel completley sure that I like how my voice sounds, there are 2 I really like but the rest where I siing bother me so much because I feel like they were missing something important.
Have u ever heard a tevin campbell song
