YOU GUYS PHIL IS THE REAL DEAL!!! I've been following his youtube videos and they've helped me but he recently sent an email to me about his singing program "Path to Vocal Mastery" and it's a monthly premium subscription but it's inexpensive and we'll worth it. I mean all these other vocal coaches are so vague in their exercises but Phil provides you with video and audio (mp3) vocal workouts and I have to say that I've only been doing his singing program for about a week now and already my voice (MY CHEST VOICE) HAS INCREASED FROM D2-F4 AND NOW MY CHEST VOICE RANGE IS A D2-D5!!!! I couldn't believe it because it felt so natural after the workout and I was singing songs that I feared I would never be able to sing. I always thought I was a baritone/ bass but now I'm a 1st tenor/ alto!!!! THIS GUY'S THE REAL DEAL AND YALL SHOULD GET ON HIS PROGRAM IT'S AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH PHIL YOU GAVE ME CONFIDENCE AND THE STRENGTH TO SING!!!!
This video deserves more exposure. From my experience, many people fear of getting loud fearing that they will crack or choke up, or that they do not 'sound nice'. More people need to realise that you do not get a strong, resonant sound to sing heavier or louder genres by using your falsetto hoping that it will turn to a big sound someday! :)
cheers dude I honestly hate these old videos lol I just keep them up because I know it helps people find me and then they can find my newer, better content. glad you got something out of it though
Your lessons have so much more clarity than any other instructor i've ever worked with. The purpose of an instructor is to speed up the learning process and it feels like 99% of courses are to vague to see any noticeable progress. Who did you learn from?
I got bits and pieces from everywhere but mostly self-taught. Check out PROSINGERSVAULT.com if you're interested in the full step-by--step system to what I teach.
Hey Phil! I just wanted to say that i did your course and i'm really glad about the results! I was straining at D#4, but now i can go up to G#4 in chest voice and um to F#5 in head voice! Thank you very much! But, afterall, i've come to appreciate more my voice the way it is, i'm a very deep baritone, and yeah my best notes are the lower ones, but be capable of hitting the higher ones makes me feel more confident. So thank you! Also, any tips for the low notes? I can get down to E2 but i feel i could go lower. God bless you!
Hi Anthony, Great to hear the progress. Which program are you on? Ask your question in the private Facebook group with a recording and I can give you a more detailed answer.
What I enjoy about you, Phil, is how you challenge the best-loved tenets of some of the best-known vocal coaches out there -- your dismissal of vocal fry, for instance. Knowing that you struggled with these kinds of things and had the guts to drop them is heartening. (Just as an aside, I know you like your no-frills video backdrop, but I like the backdrop on this video much better than the wonky black curtain held in place with a gaffer's clamp.) One more thing, while I'm at it: why Japan?
Based on your more recent videos, your own voice has gotten much deeper and stronger since this, hasn`t it? :) Would be very interesting to hear an updated version of your own vocal journey.
Honestly though I kept practicing the “give me some of that love” (or something) and in only one day it kept becoming clearer and clearer and I’m young
Number one issue would be getting high notes above say an F4 or F#4 to be usable in songs (as opposed to sounding too thin or whiny). I can currently get as high as say an A4 or even Bb4 without flipping into falsetto, but it tends to get thin and whiny the higher it goes, and takes a lot of support for a G#4 or higher. I can't currently hit a B4 (or higher) at all without flipping into falsetto. Also, my falsetto itself only goes as high as, say, a D5 on a good day. My falsetto isn't very reliable. It used to be relatively easy up to an E5 or F5, when warmed up when I was in my 30s, but something happened to it when I hit around the age of 40 to limit it further and make falsetto itself require warming up. I'm not really a big fan of falsetto in general, since I don't think my falsetto ever sounded all that good, but it's not a good thing that falsetto range has been reduced. Currently I would not consider publicly singing any song that goes higher than say F#4, unless I could improve my upper range.
In ten seconds you've sounded like Bruce Dickinson, perhaps wasn't your intention but it approves that you know how to do a job. In addition, you don't make some silly grimaces that confuses listener, just like a good friend from class. I don't see you 'hang your nose high', just nice and clear explaination which would've costed a lot before internet. One of the best on tube 🤘👌👍
@@philmoufarrege keep on rockin'!!! Would love to have some skype lessons but I have to find a time since my family finds my lust for singing higher so cringy ☺️ Cheers!!!
Well the topics I'm interested in right now are the mechanics behind rasp, growling, screaming. Any of the above topics would make me a happy watcher/learner.
Great video! Very clear examples. One question I have is when you talk about maintaining a strong sound into the mouth cavity for stronger resonance, you mention support but also mention STRONG TONGUE (minute 15:18) Could you please xplain what do you mean by that? Thanks for your videos I very much agree with your concepts.
This helps. Can sound quite a bit like my favorite singer of all time, Donald Roeser of Blue Oyster Cult, but my voice cracks once I get a little higher in my voice.
Awesome video as always, Phil. One question, recently I damaged my voice a little so I rested my voice for around 2 weeks, which is a week longer than usual cause it was quite bad. When I started to sing again, however, it didn't feel as powerful as it was before, it feels much weaker and strained. Is this normal after taking a break or does it mean I have to rest for a bit more? Hope to hear from you soon.
If your technique is causing damage then resting won't do anything because as soon as you go back to singing you will be using the damaging technique once again. Learn how to strengthen your voice properly here: www.grow-the-voice.com/best-online-singing-course.html
I took a rest from it because I went for an event and did a lot of shouting and stuff like that for 2 days straight. Before that, my singing felt rather good. Although, I don't actually know if I'm doing it right. If you don't mind, can you check out a cover I made on Soundcloud and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong? It was months ago, though. Feedback would be very much appreciated. soundcloud.com/sirdude72/hero-of-war-cover
Make a video on "How to get a Raspy Voice"... My voice is doing great till yet as all my resonance chambers have ample of space! But, i want it to be a bit raspier as plain heavy resonating voice is only good for talking manly.... Im just 17 years old yet and my upper half vocal range is still high pitched (childish) whilst lower vocal range is heavy and vibrating....... Is their anything, i can do for developing it in a Raspier way.....????
Check out this video here: th-cam.com/video/mDEZOhtc3tk/w-d-xo.html If you are serious about learning this stuff you'll need to get your hands on my premium course THE PATH TO VOCAL MASTERY
i run into a problem that when i want to make a loud sound, at the first note it get stuck in throat and sounds airy, and the result is that the note i make was not as loud as i want (does not have power) and i feel something like air stuck in chest and make my diaphragm muscle tired (or something like that)... How to fix that problem Phil? I'm tired of being stuck!
How is that at 2:10 Chest voice? I'm really confused with the terminology. Are you supposed to feel resonance mainly in chest when you sing that? Would a classical singer say that you were singing ih your head voice?
how is it not chest voice? :-) "Are you supposed to feel resonance mainly in chest when you sing that?" no, most of the resonance is in the head and face...but it's the same voice I'm speaking with which is why I call it chest voice. If I was to call it headvoice people would immediately think they have to train falsetto to build this which is wrong. It's not a different "voice". Many would call it mixed voice. Mixed voice is just a chest voice that is functioning properly without strain. So I only really define the voice as chest voice or falsetto, you're either connected or disconnected - though I understand the other terminology well. If you want to learn more about this lighter sound click here: th-cam.com/video/RXb8YIqSlzY/w-d-xo.html that sound is NOT built by singing in falsetto hoping it will "grow" it's built by learning how to make my louder chest voice less loud and more narrow. Are you signed up to my free course? I have a detailed video about headvoice, mixed voice and falsetto in there. Get it here: www.grow-the-voice.com/how-to-expand-your-vocal-range.html
Perhaps you've turned off annotations. The other video I was referring to was "how to sing high notes softly" the link is here: th-cam.com/video/RXb8YIqSlzY/w-d-xo.html
Phil Moufarrege Thank you sooo for reply my friend Phil! This lesson helped me balance my Chiaro Scuro (bright Dark) tone so much! Sorry if I typed the Italian wrong.. :) ;) Now I simply have to revise all my song repertoire to make decisions on the amount of Dark & Light in all of them~ XD lol. Any who, I have also managed to take 3 notes higher many of my songs. Such a simple and clean explanation gave me a lot! Thank you again~~ Ps--> I have some Videos of me singing in my channel other than Guitar lessons. IF you ever have the time and could listen to some of them and offer advice that would be MOST appreciated!!! :D ;)
Don't worry I'm not good with the italian either ;-) Have you signed up to my mailing list at GROW-THE-VOICE.COM ? You can email me after you've signed up there, send over an audio and I can give you specific feedback on your song and what to look out for. best wishes

get it out there brother. post it on some forums ;-)
6 years later it's still the best lesson on mix voice and extending range of your full voice!
cheers dude I honestly hate these old videos lol I just keep them up because I know it helps people find me and then they can find my newer, better content. glad you got something out of it though
no one explained vocal strength as good as Phil did....awesome man!
Vocal fry is an effect which you can use once in a while.
Congratulations man your lessons are so helpful
you are most welcome.
Amazing...you explained it so well.

Best voice instructor on TH-cam PERIOD!!!!
thank you for the kind words!
You are the TH-cam singing equivalent of the For Dummies book series in the sense that you explain soooo well and in easy terms. You ARE the best.
The entire video is important and helpful coach, the most interesting part for me is about the cord closure problem. Thanks
cheers for watching Carlos

I'm not in a position to have a fancy studio but would love one in the future for sure. As for Japan...why not? ;-) It's where I'm meant to be

I resonate with you Phil. I believe in much the same principles.
Hey Bob thanks for watching
such such a great video, watched 5 times
brilliant. .👌👌👌👌👌👌
Your videos make a lot more sense than SLS. I really wish I had never, ever, heard of SLS! :)
I'm pleased you found it helpful. What would you say is the number thing you're currently struggling with?
