    I have been waiting for this exact video truly explaining both the CT and TA muscles, AND PHYSICALLY showing how they work. I finally have the answer I've been looking for for years. THANK YOU!!! BTW...A lot of your fry in head voice, with a more back or rear placement, sounds like that's where Axl liked to live a lot. Great video!!!!

    Great one, Chris. You continue to put your students first and remain results-driven as you quest for more approaches that resonate with more people. I appreciate that and all of your work. Sorry for blowing off your emails for so long. I signed up for your course a long time ago but I'm not a singer I'm an engineer so it's not the highest of priorities for me. Being a good singer is still something I want for personal projects and various producer situations I take on so I plan on doing the course eventually. I recommend you to all of my clients though.

    Hey Chris, happy New Year!! I think according to a 2013 study, more TA≠more chest quality, and more CT≠more head quality, in fact, for the SAME NOTE, a chest voice has significantly greater CT activity compare to a chestmix. The study showed pitch level has greater impact on the CT and TA ratio than register(chest or head).
    This is not meant to be a "gotcha" comment, I think your demonstrations and vocal advices are excellent.👍🏻 Especially the fry in between the chest and the head voice, it's a very practical way to find the spot to extend your range. But once you attribute it to CT and TA ratio, then you might start derailing from practical singing mentality, and put yourself in a scientifically highly debatable position. Because CT and TA are not like our fingers where we can control them individually, they always work together, we can mentally think more CHEST to change how we sound, but we can't think more TA like we move a finger. Plus TA dominant only happened below 300hz(D4), once you get pass D4, whether you know how to sing or not, it's always CT dominant regardless which register you're in.
    The study I cited is called 《Cricothyroid Muscle and Thyroarytenoid Muscle Dominance in Vocal Register Control: Preliminary Results》you can look it up if you like. But if new study had came that over turn this result, then forget about my comment.😄Anyway, I think you're an excellent teacher/singer, and I wish you the best.😄

    • @chrisliepe
      @chrisliepe  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Thanks so much for your professional, positive approach to engaging in this discussion! I really appreciate it! And this: "The study showed pitch level has greater impact on the CT and TA ratio than register(chest or head)" is exactly what I hope I'm clearly demonstrating with all my dumb sounds :) As I feel it, and have studied it (doesn't mean it's right or wrong, just observed) For someone who is engaging their voice in a healthy way (not straining in chest voice to raise pitch) the statement I quoted from you is the best way to put it!
      But as I've worked with students over the years... The temptation to push push push in chest voice without feeling that "rocking" sensation associated with CT engagement enables, causes the above statement in quotes to be a bit grey.
      In fact, all muscle engagement around the body... especially in the vocal tract are so dependent on the technique of the actual individual that it's REALLY tough draw lines in the sand or paint things black and white.
      I've learned this from studying too many throat cameras to count as well as training in exercise science and physical therapy.
      This is why, in most of my videos, I prefer to teach off of sensation that leads to sounds rather than getting into the weeds with terms. Terms, after all, only have meaning because we assign them meaning. We see this all the time with the term "vocal fry" or the term "fry scream". They mean different things to different people. And no one is really wrong or right if the language they are using helps them find the sensations that lead to the sounds they want.
      I agree with this study you've highlighted! I also agree with the resources I used to present this video. They co exist very well together as long as you make allowances for the fact that a singers vocal technique ultimately dictates how the muscles are used.
      Look at Will Ramos's Throat cam video and observe his crazy one-of-a-kind constrictions and use of supporting muscles and tissues. (the twist) Then look at mine and how I use false cords/arytenoid cartilage as a means of compression and distortion with primary cord engagement. You could write studies with opposing views on how the vocal tract works just from those two scopes! It doesn't mean that either study caries more weight... Only that they were studying different samples to arrive at their results.

      @@chrisliepe Hey Chris, I didn't expect you would spend the time to give a lengthy response, and I hope everyone that walk by can be benefit from it.
      And yeah, I completely agree with you going with the physical sensation route is a much better/practical way to get to the target sound, which is how you usually do thru out many of your tutorial videos. So when I saw this video I was a bit surprised, thinking: "really? you wanna go with CT:TA?"🤣 I personally would leave the science/debate to the scientists, as a musician/singer, I would just focus on the singing part, because after reading a bunch of voice science research, I've just loaded a bunch of interesting facts into my memory, it did not help my singing at all.🤣
      And for "push push chest", it happens ALL around the globe, regardless of ethnicity, culture, and style.🤣 I think not because untrained singers love/want to push, I think they just don't have many options to choose, or they mis-interpret the sound that they hear. But I think you gave a very good demonstration on how to use the fry to lock down the flip and start developing your range thru that spot, because that's exactly how I develop my high note.🤣
      Anyway, it my pleasure to talk to you. And I hope your channel will thrive.😁

  • @musikkamagga3770

    The spot where CT and TA try to work together over a break/fry is super important. IMO, every vocal training should focus on that region, through messa di voce exercises. This is everything. When you exercise that musculature, you can activate CT muscles in a TA-dominant setup to sing with extreme ease, which is mixed voice. Every single part of good singing comes from that balance. Messa di voce is extremely underrated.

    • @WageSlavery
      @WageSlavery 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I like your idea of a "setup" for your voice, much like a mastering board. Combining engagements and resonances and postures and everything, into one cohesive tone. There're so many factors that influence the final sound, and it's like we can reach out and touch different techniques while maintaining the same setup

    • @musikkamagga3770
      @musikkamagga3770 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@WageSlavery Exactly. When you are able to sing in mixed voice, then everything else is just an "effect" on top. That's why I don't like CVT modes, it focuses on the wrong thing.

    So I can easily belt in my CHEST voice, but adding power & volume to my MIXED voice, isn't as consistent as my belting chest.
    It's like I've got the support in my chest, but not necessarily in my mixed.
    Am I just lacking proper support?

    Hey Chris! This video is fantastic! I do have a question though. There are times where I feel like I have 2 breaks! The first one going from chest to mix which seems to be a bit easier and the second one going from mix to head voice which seems to be more difficult. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    • @WageSlavery
      @WageSlavery 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ^^^^ Can your break happen in different areas of your range? Different breaks for different "sub-ranges"? I feel like I've been trying to find my break for a long time, and it's like half an octave wide.
      LOW CHEST>MIX
      Coming from a low chest to a upper chest/mixed feels very different than going from upper chest into head. From the bottom of my chest to the break, it feels like a wall, so I usually slide into mix. I usually don't jump right into head from this break, because mix gets the job done.
      MID CHEST>HEAD
      But from the middle of my chest range, I can more easily jump into head without hitting such a hard wall. Usually, if I'm starting from mid chest, it takes much less work to push through this break.
      I've also noticed other "breaks". A falsetto break at the top of my head. Fry breaks here and there, especially while using compression, and the lower part of my head voice has a break, but it wants to let out air instead of engage my chest voice
