    I got this program 2-3 weeks before a gig.. And people were amazed on how much my voice changed.. If you want to learn to sing, GET THIS PROGRAM!
    Thank you Singing Success!

    Vocal fry gets the connection...and gets rid of all the compression in your voice.
    GREAT exercise!!!
    LOVE YOU BRETT!!

    Just incredible stuff. You are connecting the physicality of the voice with our mental understanding of our voice. It has changed my life. God Bless you.

  • @TJHassis
    @TJHassis 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brett's course is very good techniques to 'warm up' the voice properly, and techniques that reduce strain, and has the potentional to build and develop vocalists through problem areas while developing. If is extremely week for the beginner in connecting concepts that relate directly to the "Singing"; and does not properly discuss the types of limitations and time frame in developing. The examples are some of "his best." Buy it if you feel like being better, but it takes lots of work!

  • @mrbouncelol
    @mrbouncelol 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is definitely one video I keep coming back to every couple months. It is the type of advice that is so simple but puts everything else you've learned in it's place and makes it all click together

  • @rodrigoatx06
    @rodrigoatx06 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a fellow vocal instructor I have to say that the use of vocal fry in lessons and in warming myself up is incredibly helpful. It takes the pressure of and sets your chords where they need to be. It's also a great to tell where your voice is, if you can't do it and just hear air it's because your chords are too spread apart etc etc, this is good stuff

    I bought the program and its helped me. I have a connected voice and have definately increased my range within 3 months. Brett Manning has trained with one of the most famous vocal teachers in the music industry called Seth Riggs.

  • @florelie
    @florelie 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    totally agree with you! i don't have this problem anymore.. I just stopped trying to sound like someone else and concentrated on correct placement, did lots of scales and found my voice got stronger without the strain.

  • @svichky
    @svichky 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    his vocal program is amazing, trust me...and this is not some sort of a commercial, i just wanna talk people into it, because it will help them develop their voices sooo much...i've been using it for a few month and the difference is...just stunning...

  • @thechangee
    @thechangee 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought the course and I could not sing to save my life. Now, I perform singing & playing the piano/guitar. It took me about 7-8 months. Its worth knowing his secrets. Thanks Brett & Company!

  • @lodcomm
    @lodcomm 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Man - I have a voice that falls roughly between sandy gravel & chalk - your "vocal fry" technique worked wonders almost immediately in me being able to follow the tone on my guitar. thanks!

  • @Y4J
    @Y4J 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have been doing Brett Mannings vocal training cds for YEARS. And i've learned a lot.. But a MAJOR flaw i've found is that he emphasizes on technique and HARDLY anything on BREATHING.
    I went to TWO personal singing lessons and had more improvement in my my voice than I did in 6 months of technique with singing success. I'll continue with Brett's stuff and it's awesome.. But he REALLY needs to focus on breathing.

  • @wilchesjr
    @wilchesjr 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brett, God Bless you. you Rock!!!
    These tips are great!
    I've been on Brett's program for 4 months now, i've improved beyond my expectations and I'm just ordinary guy with very little musical experience... I've been very disciplined though. ;)
    Thank you again.

    Thanks Brett, for sharing your knowledge!
    I am a Romanian singer, former professional violinist.
    Must say I have found your videos very useful; I see myself evolving pretty quickly.
    I intend buying your entire program, but until then what you do here on TH-cam helps a lot!
    I started really using my voice, and mastering my mix much more than in the past; a lot of things get much easier; I have the feeling that I am singing correctly and more effortlessly.
    You're great!

    Surrender Power for Connection.
    That is something that I try to think about at a human level.
    I believe surrendering whatever we think power is in human relationships and getting together is the only thing that will work for us in the end, and I started to think everything works that way. The same for learning anything: first stop trying to fight the process of adjutsmen, of negotiating forces, and just trust your instinct that you are doing what's right and stop judging a work that is in progress and not quite finished yet. Don't let the obsession for "getting it" ruin and force the very process that could help you obtain what you want.
    Peolpe who criticize this program I believe don't see things like that.

    @oldgregg93 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have this singing programme, and god am I lazy, but the things it has done for me. i haven't done it in ages, but i'm so gonna have to get back into it. I love it, i mean, without trying very hard, everything changes fast, and if you dedicate the time and effort your voice will be so good in no time. Sometimes I have to stop the excersises because brett says something and i laugh, but aside from that its brilliant

  • @AleifrLeifrson

  • @AleifrLeifrson
    @AleifrLeifrson 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you thank you thank you! After training with thease exercises, I was instantly better at singing! What was a bit surprising was that even my scream got better (a LOT better).

  • @pangruff
    @pangruff 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the same problem. To some, singing comes naturally, to others it's a giant piece of work to get a good technique. Unfortunately, I count to the latter, of course. The only chance is to be patient and stand the frustration that comes with all the training and failing, over weeks, months, years, showing yourself that you really want it. Success WILL come eventually.

  • @kjferguson
    @kjferguson 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be fair to Mr. Manning, now that i've seen all his vids. very helpful! My voice lessons were a waste after 6 mos. Now for 3 mos have learned more about music/singing on my own & from other singers. It's a matter of finding those "special" songs in your voice range. Yes anyone can learn to sing either with a coach or on their own, well, not perfect. But sing the songs you love & that's in your range.

    I think Brett does go into what classical singers identify as false chording, but regardless the exercises are very useful because you can bounce off that into a full voiced note with ease :)

    • @Pjaysusity
      @Pjaysusity 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was thinking the same thing but then I appreciated the honesty of the levels in terms of projection. If this audio was compressed/limited, we would have been sonically lied too. His 'softs' 5:32 and 'louds' 6:05 are actuals.

  • @machoman8699
    @machoman8699 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you're referring to 2:28-2:33. He is using the vocal fry to reset the musculature of the vocal chords, to take off the tension, so that when he goes back and sings up on a scale, it will be in a easier, more relaxed place. I really wouldn't think of the vocal fry as having anything to do with "increase in volume" that's not the purpose of the vocal fry, in my opinion. This exercise is about coordinating the voice, keeping it speech level, and above all, keeping the strain and squeeze off :)

  • @machoman8699
    @machoman8699 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    The point of the vocal fry, initially isn't to get an increase in volume. The vocal fry keeps you at speech level before, during or after your exercises, singing, or anytime. I wouldn't be doing it as much as you are, but rather incorporate it with a training program like SInging Success. I personally use it as soon as I feel like I'm pushing or squeezing, i'll stop and do some vocal fry's on breath or on a note.

  • @reaper0004

    I agree. Without the right technique for breathing, no one will be able to sing properly, no matter how much they mastered the other techniques.

  • @1RobinKelly

    Interesting approach to communicating vocal technique ideas - I've applied these same techniques in my own career, but Brett presents them from a different vantage point - good reminders for me.

  • @EchadLevShtim
    @EchadLevShtim 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW! Never heard this method before. Works Very well. People tell me i'm a great singer, but they dont realize that we have to use our instruments daily, so its not exactly in vocal mode. Thats a lot of pressure when you havent warmed up yet. Reminds me of when i do a Scooby Do impersonation, then people ask me to do scooby on the fly & i know i dont have the pipes for it. Mostly if i have been drinking coffee or lemonade. Quiting soft drinks helps. Honey water is the best.

  • @telepathic2008

  • @julieksings
    @julieksings 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brett- I participated in one of your workshops at the GMA in the Rockies in 2008- I was very impressed and bought your cd series- to my shame i haven't gone through much of it- but this video inspired me to get back into it- I am a Christian recording artist and a voice teacher myself. Only thought is that you need to take care of your own voice! Not too encouraging that you were in such a rough vocal condition when you made this tape...

  • @flaze3
    @flaze3 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    that's basically what I mean. The main reason you push against your chest (while keeping your abdomen in) is to take the effort off your throat. Your body needs to exert effort, and pushing against your chest (in an upwards direction) while keeping your throat relaxed and open will let you sing freely.
    As an exercise, breathe deep into your lower back and stomach, then lightly hold in your stomach, push your chest out and FEEL that tautness which you can push against.

  • @AmeliaHeldt

    @tizthechocolatehead 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah I used to get this when I sung in choir when I was around 11 but now I sing solo and am older I don't have that problem anymore. I'm pretty sure it's just your breathing technique. If you can get your breathing right, you won't have this problem :-) Breathe in deeply before a long note or verse etc and sing from your stomach. Hope this helps :-)

  • @TheOldSpirit
    @TheOldSpirit 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AtariMaxiToriyama What hes saying is very important, and its very easy to apply, you just do it every day and before you know it, you'll be using it intuitively without thinking about it

  • @trulyronson
    @trulyronson 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kayla, I believe that Ryanrre 45 is trying to say if you try to push to hard by using your stomach muscles you will be supported but you will become very exhausted. There is a big difference between singing with diaphragmic control and singing with your stomach muscles. To properly support the breathe behind the voice you must allow you the air to travel down deep into your lungs. To do so, you need to relax your stomach as if you are trying to stick out your gut as you inhale.

    the vocal fry is actually a great exercise. it's also called the buzz technique, it's the correct speech. if you listen to people who are stalking correctly you will here the slight buzz in the voice. it's not going to give you nodes

  • @thehix
    @thehix 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ryanrre you are right. Tightening the abdominal muscles is seriously bad. Instead the whole support thing is about keeping the abs relaxed and thinking "LOW". That's what support is pretty much about.

  • @xBlizz
    @xBlizz 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @1lastrun you can produce noise after the break, but you kinda use different muscles to produce the sound, if you try to force it, it not not good. The break basically is the highest you can go with your chest voice without straining, if you strain, you can go a bit higher, if you force it after your break, it would probably sound like really loud hooty falsetto.

  • @flaze3
    @flaze3 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    It helps to not strain up to higher notes, but rather to 'let' your voice go up, as if speaking. If you try to force up, you can't naturally shift into head voice.

  • @crystalbrisbane
    @crystalbrisbane 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    practicing two types of advice, especially associated with vocal technique, will end up with one canceling out the other. try one or the other rather than both at the same time. i don't know your vocal teacher and i'm definitely not educated enough to make the decision on whether you should go with brett's program or live vocal lessons, but i would try talking with your voice teacher about what you want to achieve. it might help focus your learning on to range, vibrato, technique, etc.

  • @flaze3
    @flaze3 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you hold in your abdominal muscles, and direct the air against your chest instead of your thoat, you take the pressure off, and hugely expand your range.
