Hey everyone! One thing I didn't mention in this video is singing on pitch/matching pitch/being able to sing a melody in tune. I did not struggle with these issues myself so I don't have firsthand experience with it, but with those that I've worked with who have struggled with matching pitch, we found that it was best to put that part of singing to the back burner and leave it until the last thing you learn. No matter what, you're going to have to learn breathing/vowels/placement anyway, and often people's pitch issues occur in one of those components. A motto I like to live by in this regard is "first, sing the wrong notes pretty." xD In most cases, solving breathing vowels or placement will solve your pitch issues. And if it doesn't, then at least you've got a great foundation going! :) The only thing these may not solve are those who don't hear themselves well while singing (aka, thinking they're singing the right notes along with a melody but the notes are not correct). That's more of a mental aspect of singing, and breathing/vowels/placement are all more physical. But again - go to those three first, and more often than not, your pitch issues will be solved then and there :) Also I now have a free 1-hour course for vowels available here! th-cam.com/video/MDBPEmmF6YI/w-d-xo.html Also, I do offer online voice lessons if anyone is interested! You can schedule a lesson with me at my website at katecosettevocals.com Happy singing!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air! After bouncing between vocal coaches and still feeling lost, your clear and straightforward guidance finally helped me connect the dots. Thank you for investing your time and energy to share these invaluable insights.
going to learn about placement next. I've experienced all of those and still do sometimes, but the difference it has made from practising the first two is like night and day, I got emotional hearing myself sing properly after 35 years of incorrect technique 😅
Thanx so much i really wanna know how to hit different notes with my voice and how to know what note i am singing u know...but overall it was great thank you again
That is the only aspect of singing I don’t remember learning, so I don’t have a personal experience with it. But I found very helpful videos that have helped singers with hearing themselves and knowing which notes they’re singing! Here’s two videos that are very helpful for that I hope they help you too! th-cam.com/video/uK4P-VWSwLg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gvpuSOJe6e4/w-d-xo.html
Great video but I have a question. So just like you, I was always used to singing in this light place in my voice, which doesn't feel like headvoice, it's kinda like a light chest voice (I can feel resonance in both my throat and my chest) but then I realised I had to start with my speaking voice since my voice felt it had no power. I started training my chest voice not long ago and it feels really heavy and uncomfortable. I couldn't get past a B3 when I started but then I can hit a C4 and a D4 now when doing vocal exercises though they feel quite uncomfortable. I wanted to ask is that lighter place I used to sing in my mix voice and if so, how do I connect it with my chest voice. P. S: the lighter voice I used to sing in almost felt that my chest voice on some notes but didn't have that much of a weight as my speaking voice.
Thank you! Hm, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where your voice is without hearing you, but from what you’re saying I’m going to guess you’re singing in head voice, even if it may not feel like it. If it’s lighter than your speaking voice, I’d be willing to bet you’re singing in head voice, or you’re on the very cusp of mixed voice. I only say the “cusp” of it because mixed voice shouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Mixed voice is felt exactly where you feel your voice when you hum. If you hum softly (no pushing at all, this is a very gentle hum), is that where you feel your voice when you’re singing in this lighter voice? If so, that is mixed voice. Mixed voice has a bit of a bite to it, so it’s stronger sounding than head voice, but it’s not as full sounding as chest voice. To make life easier for you, I’ll suggest not to worry about where you’re singing now, and just focus on learning chest voice and mixed voice. Learning chest voice was what I did first, but I only learned chest voice in the very bottom of my range, and I didn’t learn chest voice any higher than that until after I learned mixed voice. I suggest you keep practicing chest voice on the very bottom of your range, so like your speaking voice level and not too much higher. If you start to strain, that’s where you stop! It’s going to feel heavy and graceless when you first start using it because it’s so different from what you’re used to, but just remember that chest voice is your speaking voice. I learned by speaking out the lyrics and slowly adding the melody to it by elongating what I spoke etc. NONE of this should be pushed or strained, just keep going back to speaking the lyrics until you get the feeling of it. Chest voice should feel very similar to the sensation of talking. I have a video on raising chest voice, but I do suggest making sure you’ve got mixed voice down first. Keep in mind that you want tour voice to be forward and close to your teeth or the front of your face when you sing in chest voice, so your voice doesn’t stay stuck in your throat! Once you get a handle on the lowest notes of your range in chest voice, learn mixed voice! I have several videos on that Nay exercise I used to learn mixed voice on my channel, feel free to check them out! The importance of learning mixed voice before trying to learn chest voice in your mid and high range is that your chest voice doesn’t reach up past your vocal break (that point where you start to strain). Mixed voice is like the foundation of your voice, so spend a LOT of time on it! After you get mixed voice down, go on and learn to strengthen your belt voice/chest voice. If you try to belt without learning mixed voice, you’ll find yourself straining all over the place. I offer online voice lessons if you wanted someone to hear you and find out exactly what’s going on with your voice, but no matter what, if you start learning mixed voice now (or ensuring that you are singing in mixed voice already), you won’t have to worry about what your voice used to do. You’ll be well on your way to the voice you want! Let me know if that helps!
@@katecosettevocalsThe lighter voice I felt has the hum sensation to it.i guess I would have to continue working on my chest voice. This was helpful. Thank you!
In my breathing video I shared the only exercise I used to learn to breathe, and for the placements I only have 1 exercise I needed for each of them and I practiced it over song melodies. All of those are in separate videos on my channel - I kept my learning journey pretty simple so I didn’t use any other exercises, but you could absolutely do those vowel and placement exercises (such as the Nay for mixed voice and the Nyah for chest voice) over piano scales and such!
Dude whoever's not washing this chick you're missing out cuz you know what literally he tells you how to do it in layman's terms bro so like I've already watched this twice and I just found it like literally don't sing straight up you save my life girl thank you
i have a question, I've seen people talking about notes ( G5,B4...) i know nothing about that and I'm a beginner singer, should I learn notes too ? and be able to make a difference between them? or is it not that important?
1000% not necessary! 😊 Knowing specific notes is great if you’re a musician and if you are singing in perhaps a chorus (where you sight reading sheet music), but even as a musician myself I can’t usually tell exact pitches (ex. G5) when hearing them. I still go to a piano to find what they are if/when I need to, but those cases are rare. Often singers will be like “I struggle around the G5 note” etc etc which can be useful to some, but super not important to know. (And in case you were interested, the numbers next to the notes just means which octave it is on a piano. The piano goes A through G over and over 6 or 7 times as you go up the piano. So if someone says a G1, it was the first time a G showed up, and a G3 means it was the 3rd time you hit G, and so on.) but not important to know :) As for being able to match pitch (which means that you play a note on piano and then you can hit the same note with your voice), I wouldn’t worry about that too much at all either. Learn technique first, and if anything just focus on matching the melody of a song. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and again I’d wait to worry about any of that until you learn techniques like vocal placement, vowels and breathing. ☺️ If you have any other questions just let me know! And also know that you’ve totally got this! Welcome to your singing journey, take it at your own pace and remember to enjoy it along the way! ☺️
I’ll first say that I have not had any experience or done any research about how hearing aids exactly work with how you hear the sound of your own voice.. so I’ll tell you what I think, but it may not be accurate! The whole mental part of hearing yourself is pretty much about just making sure that you know when you are singing on pitch and when you’re not. The easiest way to tell is to practice singing a song or, better, copying the note of a piano or instrument (free piano apps work for this!). When you feel that you are correctly matching the pitch as you’re singing it, use your phone or something to record both the note or song and then you singing it. If they match, then you’re hearing yourself just fine. If you hear something very different, there’s a disconnect going on between what you think, sing and hear in real time. Try that first!! I don’t know anything about hearing aids, but I’d almost assume that the exact sound of your voice (the way it sounds to you) might actually be more accurate through a hearing aid from what I understand about them. Without any hearing aids, people already hear their voices usually lower than they really are, and get surprised when they hear themselves talk on a video haha. But again, I’m not very sure on that. But as long as you hear the right pitches on the recording, that’ll confirm that you can match pitch and that’s all you really need to worry about with the whole mental aspect of singing. 🙂 Let me know how it goes!!
Haha, well firstly I can say that the voice I started out with was absolute cringe to my ears (the first video on my channel here is actually a major improvement from how I started...yeesh!) So no matter how bad you think you are (I already know you’re far better than a chorus of cats who don’t get along) I can 100% attest to the fact that you can totally learn to sing just as well as any of your favorite singers. Singing is like learning to ride a bike. It’s all just muscles! As for learning while driving? YES! Honestly, 90% of my vocal improvement occurred while I was driving in the car! All of the placement stuff just takes repeating exercises over songs, and I did that in the car alll the time. I actually recommend doing it in the car because the exercises tend to be quite loud haha. The only parts that are harder (but not impossible) to do while driving is learning to breathe, which honestly is a 5-10 minute exercise I did for about a month before I’d go to bed, since it requires lying down. But after that month, you can absolutely practice breathing in the car! (I have a video on learning to breathe if you wanted to see what I mean). The other is learning vowels, but again, once you get the hang of it (after a few weeks) you can totally practice while driving. I did! Getting the hang of it requires you to use your hands for an exercise to help hold your mouth shape, as well as watching yourself sing in the mirror to make sure you’re doing it correctly. But again, after a few weeks, you begin to get muscle memory and then you can run with it! So, the (long) answer to your question is absolutely yes you can learn to sing, and learn to sing while driving. I 100% guarantee you that! Let me know if you ever have any questions! All the things I used to learn to sing are on my channel, feel free to check them out! 😁
What if my problem is I can't match pitch (sing in tune) will learning those three concepts help out or I should focus more on ear training? Or could the problem be that I can't hear myself singing then how do I work on that? And also a problem with utilizing mixed voice?
One of the things I don’t have personal experience with is singing off-pitch/hearing myself, so I will always give that disclaimer. I have worked with people who had pitch issues, and many times learning those three things (breathing, vowels and placement) ended up fixing their pitch issues because the problem was in one of them. So I would suggest starting there, and seeing if it solves it! This video is a few years old, and I notice that I mention to learn pitch and ear training first. But from what I’ve learned over the past few years, it is most beneficial to leave pitch problems for last, simply because they may be solved with one of those three concepts. 😊 Also, I find that it can be a bit tedious to only focus on ear training, which is also why it’s a good idea to leave it to last so that you don’t frustrate yourself out of learning to sing, especially if you find that you actually didn’t need it. You will get it!! So when you are practicing, sing accapella and sing whatever melody you think is right, or sing with the radio and same thing. Just focus on whatever technique you’re working on (breathing, vowels, placement) and ignore any pitch issues you hear. Even if you still have pitch problems afterward, you can then go work on that but have all the other techniques in place! As for mixed voice, try learning head voice first, if it isn’t something you’re used to singing in. Head voice and mixed voice are super similar, so getting used to head voice first always makes it way easier. The humming trick in my Nay exercise video is often the easiest way to get in mixed voice, so give that a shot after you spend some time in head voice! Also make sure you aren’t straining at all; that will actively prevent your voice from going in mixed voice! When you finish learning those three things (breathing, vowels and placement), if you still find that you’re dealing with pitch issues, I suggest finding someone who has dealt with ear training issues and gotten to the other side because their experience will be incredibly valuable to you! I know of one person on YT who has, and here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/gvpuSOJe6e4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u_KH9pssFYw4FxeY But again-leave that till last! Let me know if that helps!
incorrect vowels can cause pitch issues, putting your voice in the wrong placement can also cause some pitch issues, and breathing can as well. If the issues don’t get resolved from learning those, then you’ll probably need to look into some ear training and pitch-matching, which is in the video I linked in my comment earlier
@KateCosette Alright thank you, in this video you entailed I should start with breathing work on it to my full potential, then move to vowels and then placement of my voice that's correct?
That is the order that works most efficiently, yes! You can probably learn and practice breathing and vowels at the same time (breathing really only needs a few minutes of practice a day, which leaves enough time and energy to work on vowels too if you want). However you can feel free to switch up the order or do whatever you want-it’s also largely based on preference!

@@katecosettevocals What can be the remedy to me singing off pitch?
incorrect vowels can cause pitch issues, putting your voice in the wrong placement can also cause some pitch issues, and breathing can as well.
If the issues don’t get resolved from learning those, then you’ll probably need to look into some ear training and pitch-matching, which is in the video I linked in my comment earlier
@KateCosette Alright thank you, in this video you entailed I should start with breathing work on it to my full potential, then move to vowels and then placement of my voice that's correct?
That is the order that works most efficiently, yes! You can probably learn and practice breathing and vowels at the same time (breathing really only needs a few minutes of practice a day, which leaves enough time and energy to work on vowels too if you want).
However you can feel free to switch up the order or do whatever you want-it’s also largely based on preference!
