Hello! You asked me to comment under one of your videos. I said that I’m sorry to hear you have asthma and it affects your voice. I know The sadness my affliction has brought upon me. Losing an octave and a half and having it slowly return over the last ten years has been devastating. Gave up on singing. I have lived with it for so long I have forgotten what easy singing feels like but it is slowly getting much better and I foresee maybe another year and I will be ready to sing live. My problem is that I want to run and skip the walking, but I can’t do that so I have kind of restarted and am kind of learning how to sing all over again. After attending my first opera February of 2023 I finally decided to try again, so here I am. Learning that I really needed to focus on my lore and middle range before going for top notes is really helping and I’m noticing the difference
Hello! Thanks for responding here. TH-cam was removing most of my responses for whatever reason. Yes, asthma is a hell. Affects the voice and my immunity greatly. Basically rarely ever healthy. Currently with a bad mix of bronchitis and asthma. I wouldn't give up at all. The range is very possible to recover (and gain even more). There is a pop singer Tim Waurick who mostly sings barbershop quartet stuff who after I believe a bad cold suffered a partially paralysed vocal fold. Which of course isn't fixable and kinda makes you unable to sing. Yet he worked with a teacher who specialises in dealing with damaged voices and actually... sounds probably better than ever. Kind of insane. I understand what you mean. Some of the sensations you get from dealing with that tense, inflammed voice become a 'normal' thing and sometimes even after fixing the damage you can still deal with it because it becomes a force of habit. This was my experience personally. Yes, I'd try and try again slowly. You will have more progress that way. Do you want to actually do opera or just study classical voice?
@ it is crazy how the voice can recover and be better than before. I keep telling myself that diamonds are formed under extreme pressure and that’s what my voice is going through. And one lady told me not to be critical about my voice just honest, which is so true. I want to sing opera. I’d love to be on the stage in at least two years, sooner would be nice but I need to be understanding and patient with it. It can be hard, but I’m working on it.
@ and I agree about the feeling. I Have it and believe that my voice won’t do well that day and then I surprise myself, so it’s weird. I hear the progress but don’t feel it
I love the blues so this was very nice! I also love contraltos so this was double nice!! She’s also stellar so that’s triple nice!!! Great video as always 💗
Hi Kaji! I hope you're doing good, i wanted to ask you a few question if it's not bothering(sorry if my english is a little off). Do you know Jeremy Jordan? What do you think of him? Are you into Broadway? And if you are, what is your favorite musical? And last, who do you think are the best singer in Broadway (male and female). Thank you very mich for taking the time to read this coment, i really admire you and your work. 😊

Hello Kaji, very good content as always. Interesting voice.
Her tone is nice queen
I love the blues so this was very nice! I also love contraltos so this was double nice!! She’s also stellar so that’s triple nice!!! Great video as always 💗
She sounds like a true contralto to me
I just screamed 😍😍😍
Sorry, i didn't hear you screaming....
@@user-sy4vw1vb2gwell duh, you’re not in the same room as me
@D.W-rn1ld 😇🥰
She's such a damn tenor
Is umm Kulthum video almost done? I can't wait
She has about 3000 hours of material. So, no.
@KajiVocals can u tell me what is the vocal range u found so far and your opinion about her
I also have rare clips of her if u need help
@@adelefan4697 I’m going chronologically. In the chronological research I found Eb3 to G5 so far, but I know she has a Bb2 or B2 later.
@@KajiVocals i heard she had A2
G5 belting or head voice?
I never heard of her. Love her contralto voice!!!
She was so criminally underrated, all she had was a small following in Europe.
Kaji if u passed 1930s for Umm Kulthum
She has multipe A#5s in it
I doublechecked now with a spectrogram and it is indeed a G♯. On TRP thread I’ll put it as ‘anacrusis’ for the A5.

I have an hour plus long video on his voice. 😭
@KajiVocals I'm so stupid 😭😭😭 so sorry for that 😭😭😭
Yes you could say i ‘know’ him a little bit
@@KajiVocals I'm gonna actually die of embarrassment right now
Can we get a Teresa Brewer vid mate? The original non classical whistle user.
All in due time.
@ thx mate
Do you think you’ll ever make a video on Céline Dion? I’m really interested in hearing the extent of her voice.
It can last 10 hours. :) So many albums.
Probably but not my priority.
You should do a Ella Fitzgeralds vocal range
It’s in the works.
@@KajiVocals AAAAAAAA (thank you)
discord link pls
discord.gg/dw6dqxAM
seems her high notes are real whistles not even head voice what a contralto, big masculine androgynous voice
Not much head voice, but her belted E5 isn't bad at all.
I don’t really hear any whistle here.
