Intentional flipping and yodeling, Cranberries style

Here's one for the trained singers - do you want to yodel or sing some Cranberries, but you can't get your voice to "flip"? I've had to teach this unusual skill to a couple of singers recently, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

Now, how does Chappell hers on Picture You??? They’re so close together in pitch and I can get it when there’s a large range but not that close.

[@DFVideos-e8p]

I can get close to doing it but I’m terrible

[@lyn_matt]

yesss omg

[@jocelynferreira3294]

Who’s here because of Chappell roan?

[@aspen4588]

Yesss

[@moon.suberza]

Omg... I literally was struggling with this "cracking" technique, mostly because I was used to musical theater style and a "clean transition" but in 3 minutes I was able to understand it and do it, THANK YOU!

Yes! I have been searching for an explanation for this vocal technique for a long time. It has a bit of an Irish quality to it, but it’s not lilting or keening. I used to describe it as like a crack or an out of breath sound. NOBODY does it like Dolores. She’s not out of breath she’s just amazing. It sounds so painful and nuanced and emotional. The best advice I ever got from a vocal coach was “you are not singing. You are acting. You need to make the words of the song mean something to you.” There is no art without emotion.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

The most underrated song she does this in is 'So Cold In Ireland' where she builds up chesty E4s and goes into a brief yodel before singing the chorus.

[@kasiawalsh7589]

i. love. that. song.

[@michellekirwan-woods7623]

I'm a total amateur. I've been doing this for years, but I never knew what I was doing until now. Thank you! ❤

[@miryamtaddia]

Same here :D

[@natalierozean5989]

Damn. You’re a fantastic vocal coach! You made it make sense. Thank you!

[@paexal6912]

Hi! I have been struggling with this my whole life. mainly because im have a musical theater voice and have heavy vibrato and not the buttery smooth clean tone most singers have. But i was able to do this right after the video! I was so happy i nearly cried. Tysm!

[@malfunctionnnn]

my voice tends to do this naturally when i sing, good to know what its called!

[@DFVideos-e8p]

How does Chappell roan do it

[@OhJustCommenting]

i actually learnt it in 3 minutes. your explanation is crazy good :O

[@valencia4026]

i love you so much i’ve been trying to find the name of this technique finally found it AND a tutorial ty so much

[@cynzix]

I love the more subtle flipping that Dido does.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

You have any song examples from Dido? I only know her big songs from the late 90s early 2000s.

[@cynzix]

@@soysaucehairdye7869 Those are the same I know: Thank You, Here With Me, Hunter, White Flag, Life For Rent

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

@@cynzix Ty I will have to give those two albums a full listen to. I always liked the song that was the theme to the Roswell tv show.

[@61subsandnovideos]

who asked tho

[@EmeraldSky33]

@@cynzix whoa, I can sing those songs now that I can crack/yodel! 😍😍😍 Thanks for reminding me of Dido!

[@bananabeets]

Can this technique be used to learn how to do intentional vocal cracks like sia and Jessie j?

[@cherryy4639]

This is late but yes this is what it’s called

[@flaviojosefo7130]

Dolores voice in Sunday and Not Sorry is mystic

[@doloreserin]

OMG thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for this technique. I think my training from various voice teachers was preventing me from doing this properly. I was used to making smooth transitions, you explained it perfectly thank you. I"m working on Dreams getting the las at the end, Linger and Zombie, I need to get Dolores's technique to do these songs justice. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@parisjaye4159]

Can you do an exercise video for both flipping and distortions?

[@hi_its_jerry]

hahaaaahaa this is awesome!!! ive been trying to control this thing since forever! thank you for making this!

[@carlydavis6196]

Check out all of Sarah Maclachlan if you want to explore the subtleties of this technique

[@Жидараст]

i cant do that yodel thing. It comes out like whisper

[@carolynashwin9284]

That’s amazing!

[@WordCoach-c9b]

Thank You😭😭😭I could yodel but couldn’t break my voice but 3 minutes and I can😭😭😭

[@allisonting888]

very helpful 🥰

[@Infinitevoice2]

This video really helped. thanks

[@stefandempf818]

I could never do it with any Tutorial because im well trained. But this Video explained it perfectly. Funfact BC i could never do it i learend how to Flip between head voice and whistle

[@ReyahsRecord]

I also learned to flip between head and whistle attempting this!

[@Sahrene2083]

Help I still can't do it I wanna sing gossip so bad 😭🙏

[@stefandempf818]

@@Sahrene2083 well in my experience, learning this technice is more difficult for Woman, however its Not Impossible. What helped me is First learning how to Flip from head to Chest. This ist Not nessecary, but I mean It might Help.

[@isaacness2647]

I think kurt cobain did a lot of this too

[@sm00thie0p3rator]

honestly I’m not sure if I’m doing this right but I’ve always done this when singing(not trained) and it’s really easy for me to do, anyone else?

[@krishnavgohain2792]

All i did was ah ah ah ah 💀

[@tylerpace6517]

I have been told I sing One by US well. If that is yodeling I do it by relaxing and not trying to do anything. I do drift toward sounding like "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan
