Octaves, notes & annotation: (This may be super obvious, but I had to look it up to understand and thought I'd share) Looking at a piano, to get a visual of the possible notes, 8 white keys in a row are an octave. There are a total of 8 octaves on the piano from 1 (lowest) to 8 (highest). The first note in an octave is called C, so C4 = first note in 4th octave. However, the 8th note is actually the C note in the next octave, so really it's 7 notes: C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, B4 (then C5). The black keys on the piano are semi-tones: Sharp (marked #) =half a tone higher and flat (marked b) = half tone lower. hope this helps :) great video btw!
Sohyang straining was like more than 10 years ago already, now strain is not in her vocabulary. Im wishing Seungyeon, Haeri and Ailee (once she gets balanced in her mix) will do to!
Well unless their technique will regress, which it probably will at some point. Hyorin's vocal health was damaged pretty badly after straining it for so long. I guess it's pretty much just a matter of becoming aware of their vocal health and taking rests whenever they should. Also it's very possible that they would never be able to be aware of and fix their bad vocal habits and ruin their vocals in the long run inevitably.
@@sugarcookieP But it's 2021 now right? And I heard she's improving and still is improving. In fact, she even supports G5 in head voice when before she used to struggle to even sang one. So what about that? Is she okay/better now or still doesn't reach her early debut level yet?
Reymel John Dela Cruz well u missed my overall point but ok I never said I was a vocal specialist lol that's what the public would call it so that's why I used that term
@@andrethomas483 She did have some less than stellar notes during that time like the G#5s from I Will Always Miss You, but she definitely was great during that time lol
Actually, you can find a lot of examples of strain for SoHyang, and I think it's really fascinating. If you go back several years ago, her technique was light years behind what it is now. It was like she went to some magic vocal boot camp and came out the world's best singer. I suggest looking it up because it's not only super interesting, it's also a great lesson in what hard work can get you. She wasn't just born that talented, bitch *earned it.*
the rose. C4 - E5 - B5 actually and she got bettet and she started to support up to G5 in mixed matrix till she's where she is right now, a certified, well supported C6/C#6 belter
female vocalists who can support E5 and above are so rare.. that said i kinda miss luna's pinnochio E5s.. and i just realized these were ranked according to mixed voice only
Luna said she developed vocal nodules around that time, so it's possible they kind of ruined her ability to support E5. That said, maybe she'll get it back someday!
As I was getting to the end of the vid, I was wondering where you'd find vids of Sohyang straining, but then I saw the "Strain not found" aND FUCKING DIED
when most people always says sohyang is just screaming and everything..But i watch so many video from people who actually learn music saying that she is a great singer..The others just seems so silly..Love sohyang..Others a re great too !! i especially love ailee song
i did watch the old performance..she looks so stress and the voice are not properly out.. But people keep commenting on the recent video that she still a screamer which ..hahaha whatever, people never get satisfied in any way right? :D
Alisa Zulkiflei the notes is too way high , it's sound like a screaming even it's actually not I guess..I mean, come on, who could do that without actually sound screaming(to me, it wasn't)..it's too freaking high !
I don’t like SoHyang’s belts but not because it’s strained or anything. I like her singing but at some point where she goes so high with her belts I don’t find it sounding so pleasing anymore to the point it sounds like screaming even though it is supported. That’s my opinion. And to be clear I’m not saying she is a bad singer. I even said i like her singing just not her belting.
Honestly I’m so glad you made these videos because to many people freak out just because someone hits the note with pout even stopping to consider if they hit it well.
She doesn't have a Insane Range. She just have a bit more than 3 octaves but the fact is that she has improved her control within this "small" range until becoming a technical goddess. High notes don't do a vocal range. Yeah she can go pretty high but she can't go low.
@@BOREDOM6969 I didn't say that ! I reply to the comm that say that she has an insane range. No she has a normal range ( around 3 octaves) but it's not the vocal range the most important thing, it's the supported vocal range the most important thing and sohyang beats everyone !
@@BOREDOM6969 2 supported octaves is still impressive though ! For a lyric soprano, supporting from G3-G5 or A3-A5 it's really correct ( but really impressive if it's only the chest-mix register).
@@guylianpinchard7157 She has 3 octaves of full support tho. F3-C#6-F6 Though her consistent supported range is G3-C#6-E6 Still, for a soprano with a very high tessitura to support G3 (better than some sopranos with average tessitura like Morissette, Regine, and Jona who barely supports A3) is indeed impressive
I just KNEW there wasn't going to be any strained notes for Sohyang x) And honeslty there were like 4-5 singers that sounded nice even with the strain... Or is it just me ? :p
sorry for the kind of long waiting time (if anybody was waiting lol), my computer broke down when i was almost finished with it the first time and i had to start over e_e #bitter but here it is anyways, enjoy! :)
Queen Hyolyn! Athough her voice regressed (started in 2014), I think this year, she is starting to regain it. Her performance on Fantastic Duo 2 is really awesome and her high notes, humming, and falsetto are great. It's not raspy and strained compared to before and easier for her to hit it. Please rest well so that you will regain it back... 🙏🙏🙏 Btw, thank you for this video. I really love every singer listed here. Fighting!!!
Hyolyn is back y'all!!!! She's getting consistent with her E5s now and I heard even some F5s. She even started using her head voice and in fact, she supports G5!!!
Nanda Pandu Harjana it's not that rare tbh. She has shown C#6 support multiple times in the past(Upon this rock performances). I'd say her supports of C#6 is just as rare as the C6 ones.
hyorin's strains notes were done outside in the freezing cold in minus 0 degree Celsius! which is super understandable! Yet for some reason her somewhat strained notes still sounded so good. Wow Hyorin is so amazing.
The easiest way to detect strain is to hear their tension (they sound tense) and be pushy (but in Ailee's case, even if she pushes above D5, she still shows support since her tension is really not that bad).
@@BOREDOM6969 nope. Especially at higher notes, it all sounds strained to me. Also no real visual queues either since they visually look like they’re straining. I can kinda tell through the fourth octave but that’s about it. Sound quality also makes a difference, live performances with music make it harder.
Mysterious Creature can you send me link that Sohyang strained ?? I would love to see because Sohyang never strained in the mix register and head register. When she’s fatigue, her mix got heady and she used more heady placement but resonance still remained. Also with head voice in 6th octave can be a little pushed at times, but still always supported
Amore Arusko no, her E5 and G#5 are still fine (supported , resonant ) in every performance from 2012 til now . Don’t be fooled by KoreanMusicSubs and LegendaryVocalists channel
Amore Arusko give me performances that Sohyang has tense E5, G#5 . U don’t know anything about vocal and that’s why u’re easily be fooled by those people like KoreanMusicSubs/ LegendaryVocalists (Babra hardcore stan)
I hate how female idols are somehow forced to always sing way out of their range. Most of the times they have lower voices than what they are supposed to sing.
True. I 100% agree with you on this. Their voices are treated inhumane and a lack of appreciation for how the voice works. They shouldn't be forced to sing outside their natural voice because it's centered differently. Then what they're extended to be capable of going outside. Also it's abuse of the voice.
I appreciate that you compared them to themselves. It just goes to show that a singer isn't "bad" just because they have some vocal issues, they're just pushing themselves to far and need more time to develop their range.
Thank you for this video! Well made but simple enough to understand. It’s easier to understand strain vs support when hearing it from the same singer’s voice. And it’s done in a way where it’s not pinning one singer against another so you’re not putting anyone down :)
sohyang is indeed the best singer in korea. but if youre gonna make vids like this ever again and you wanna include sohyang, try to use her old vids for her straining part. she was a screamer back then. but idk shes just like fine wine, gets better by age. still dont understand how she doesnt loose her voice with her bad technique back then. a queen
I was so sure Sohyang was not going to appear in this video, and when she did I got really surprised and was expectant of her straining. Lol. Queen indeed!
you can hear the strain and support.when strain it kinda hurts your ear and you can hear the tension the singer did.but with support you can hear their high notes sounding freely and best for the ear.sounds light but most vids here the 'supports' are actually resonance
I just have to say that it’s great that there are even this many examples. In Western music, there are only a handful of singers who can support at all, let alone this high. While there are plenty of idols who are improperly trained and use poor technique, I appreciate that companies at least put some effort into training. Western artists mostly seem not to care.
Girl groups in K-Pop is still locked to cutesy, light voices that's why no wonder that the belting support of this girl groups stopped in G4 to Bb4. Supposedly, C5 is the easiest who was train for a very long period of time. BTW, Taeyeon can support an E5 however, breath support is lacking. Can you do, support and strain in Head Voice.
I loved this vid ! It is really well explained and you didn't try to oppose the singers to each other (creating sorts of dilemmas for us lol, or even little fan wars) and I rly enjoyed it!
Sohyang is an absolute goddess, I have no idea what we've done to deserve her. Also, the fact that Kyuhyun supports notes higher than some of the female vocalists really blows my mind.
Finally someone putted Bohyung (ex-SPICA and KEEMBO), DIA (ex-Kiss & Cry and ex-MATILDA), Ock Joohyun (ex-FIN K.L) and Shannon on something related related to K-pop female vocals! They are very good singers and deserve a lot of recognition
Sohyang's supported range is acually F#3/G3 - C6/C#6 I think, but I'm not educated or anything lmao. It just sounds like it :) It's incredible that she still improves by the age of 40, when most singers would slowly get worse. The wonder of technique!
Manh Cam Nguyen ohh I know that MV & I already know that note was LYH, I just thought it's unsupported. How about the live version tho? Did she support that Bb5?
Lol SoHyang in her late 20 (28,29) and her early 30 (31,32) she already support Bb5/B5 Bb5 from Old Dream (Ending is the Upon This Rock Ending) B5 from cover Mariah Carey Hero
I don't know much about octaves but the supported ones just sound... fuller? Like there is much more sound to it. But like there is also plenty of room for playing with it, smoothly going up and down in notes.
Its so interesting that so many female kpop singers can't consistently support up to an F5 belt. They're clearly mostly sopranos if not mezzos. I wonder if it has anything to do with trying too hard to maintain their light, girly, and youthful tone. Like in variety shows, they will scream and shout if teased, etc. and it will actually be supported high belts even though they're not singing 😂
I feel like everytime I see these discussions, there isn’t any, but ought to be, a bigger distinction between “unsupported” and “strained”. I don’t have exceptionally well trained ears so in like 95% of cases I can’t actually tell when someone is “supporting” or not, but I can get ally heat strain, or something that is not pleasing to my untrained ears. Plenty of times I listen to imo beautiful singing and vocalizations but someone will say they’re not supporting. Other times the same thing applies but I can hear them essentially screeching. So there must be a difference between supported, unsupported, and strained singing.
Hate to be that guy, but to me Ailee's F5 at 8:58 and Haeri's F#5 at 9:21 don't sound quite fully supported/resonant. Correct me if I'm wrong but apparently those notes for them can be a little inconsistent at times, mainly for Ailee. They're still exceptional vocalists regardless!
This has helped me understand a lot that I didn't quite understand before. What I still wonder is why it sometimes sounds good (at least to a non-trained ear like mine) even when they're straining.
Sounding good is subjective so singers with a vocal colour you like can sound good even when straining. Also they can still maintain good placement while straining like Yeonji or have a heady mix like Bada which makes the strain less obvious.

but seriously, what a queen lol
Hiiragi Kagami She only strains when sick. And before 2013 her belting up to C#6 was very good.

I loved this vid ! It is really well explained and you didn't try to oppose the singers to each other (creating sorts of dilemmas for us lol, or even little fan wars) and I rly enjoyed it!
Sohyang is an absolute goddess, I have no idea what we've done to deserve her. Also, the fact that Kyuhyun supports notes higher than some of the female vocalists really blows my mind.
Finally someone putted Bohyung (ex-SPICA and KEEMBO), DIA (ex-Kiss & Cry and ex-MATILDA), Ock Joohyun (ex-FIN K.L) and Shannon on something related related to K-pop female vocals! They are very good singers and deserve a lot of recognition
Actually cackled at the end. Sohyang is really something else :D
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT SOHYANG!!!
404 Error strain not found!
😂😂😂
Sohyang please don't do this to me 😂 i'm being addicted to your highnotes 😂
she is not sohyang, but SlayHyang ㅋㅋㅋ but seriously... I'm crazy of Sohyang and Son Seungyeon
Sohyang is just on another level
Sohyang's supported range is acually F#3/G3 - C6/C#6 I think, but I'm not educated or anything lmao. It just sounds like it :)
It's incredible that she still improves by the age of 40, when most singers would slowly get worse. The wonder of technique!
TheHufflePug
Recently, she supported E3 but it's safe to say she supports consistently in F#3/G3 - C6/C#6 - E6
Oh My Jinnie
Ohmy Sohyang supported an E6? :O At which performance?

th-cam.com/video/pfS575okmaY/w-d-xo.html
@@justanobody8709 I think they mean a supported E6 in head voice, not mixed/belting.
@@justanobody8709 her highest support is F6 in head when sing Mariah Carey song (i forgot)
I had to keep on replaying Sohyang's high notes because they were just SOO godly and amazing!😍
sohyang supported C#6 too
Goosebumps from start to finish! These women!! Really!! There are so many talented singers in korea!
Sohyang be like : what is strain? I just know resonance 😂
Kpop producers need to be told just because you can doesn’t mean you should
Sohyang proving that sh'es the QUEEN. ♥
Sohyang is a monster ! To be honest I don’t like her tone when she goes above a certain note but those skills though, nobody can deny that 😍
Sohyang Ailee Hyorin best!
I never knew wendy's eb5 was strained... It sounded so supported.
LAWR
It's audible that she was pushing and her voice compared to her D5s are very tense
It’s still sounded nice maybe that’s why
Me too
Look at the real queen in the last video lol😂😂😂 i think Lee young hyun should be here. i want to know her support rang.
jean ja and i want park ki young too.
Manh Cam Nguyen wait she has supported up to Bb5? O_o
& I agree, PKY is really overrated.
Manh Cam Nguyen oh i see. thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Manh Cam Nguyen ohh I know that MV & I already know that note was LYH, I just thought it's unsupported. How about the live version tho? Did she support that Bb5?
@@resurgingflame The studio version could be just really edited, who really knows. The live Bb5 was not good though.
9:31 LOVE her so much ❤️
And sohyang of course
Our queen Sohyang
Lol SoHyang in her late 20 (28,29) and her early 30 (31,32) she already support Bb5/B5
Bb5 from Old Dream (Ending is the Upon This Rock Ending)
B5 from cover Mariah Carey Hero
I just wanna say Taeyeon has supported several Eb5s in recent years
sohyang & ssy are literally insane
Minah's supported notes were so nice 😍 still one of my favorite performances she's ever done
I just love how Lee Haeri rarely jumps away from her supported range. Although she still needs to improve her vibrato.
I literally don't know what you guys are talking about... I'm just enjoying
I FUCKING LOVE YOU FOR THAT ENDING OMG, AS A SOHYANG LOVER I AM NOT SUPER HYPE LMAO
the way wendy supported and f#5 in "la rouge" !!!!!!! can't wait to see her level in the next years!
Wait, what?!
What a GREAT way to end the video xD LOVED it xD SOHYANG!!! xD
Wow WENDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY baechu D5 support♡
1:38 what clip is this from? IU's voice is so beautiful here but I can't find the clip :(
Damn, a lot of these unsupported notes aren't even THAT off from support (mostly C5-D5s). Koop girlies shit on Western singers
Cos Mendez *Kpop *girls
Cos Mendez KOOOOOOP GIRLS YEAHHHHH HAHAHHA IM DYING
So hyang is me when in the shower... the difference is i sound like a dying dolphin
I still have a really bad time at distinguishing strained and supported but these videos help a bit, thx!
Soyhang is a real queen. She so amazing
Ailee & SoHyang
I don't know much about octaves but the supported ones just sound... fuller? Like there is much more sound to it. But like there is also plenty of room for playing with it, smoothly going up and down in notes.
not fully supported belting does not mean yelling.
theres a long spectrum between supported belting and yelling
Its so interesting that so many female kpop singers can't consistently support up to an F5 belt. They're clearly mostly sopranos if not mezzos.
I wonder if it has anything to do with trying too hard to maintain their light, girly, and youthful tone.
Like in variety shows, they will scream and shout if teased, etc. and it will actually be supported high belts even though they're not singing 😂
How could you not include sohyangs amazing lean on me high note!!
Best kpop generation ever.. full of love to all this real singer ..
I feel like everytime I see these discussions, there isn’t any, but ought to be, a bigger distinction between “unsupported” and “strained”.
I don’t have exceptionally well trained ears so in like 95% of cases I can’t actually tell when someone is “supporting” or not, but I can get ally heat strain, or something that is not pleasing to my untrained ears.
Plenty of times I listen to imo beautiful singing and vocalizations but someone will say they’re not supporting. Other times the same thing applies but I can hear them essentially screeching.
So there must be a difference between supported, unsupported, and strained singing.
Hate to be that guy, but to me Ailee's F5 at 8:58 and Haeri's F#5 at 9:21 don't sound quite fully supported/resonant. Correct me if I'm wrong but apparently those notes for them can be a little inconsistent at times, mainly for Ailee. They're still exceptional vocalists regardless!
Jared Hoshikazow Haeri's vibrato is really weird, it's not controlled... But aside the stylistical pushing, the note was actually fine
Ah fair enough
1:37 and 1:50 - this is absolutely hauntingly beautiful. PLEASE, someone give me the link!

4:55 can someone like tell me the song name i’ve been looking for it for 2 weeks now
One way love - hyorin
Breda Unive it’s so weird how everyone is commenting this when i just found it😂
This has helped me understand a lot that I didn't quite understand before. What I still wonder is why it sometimes sounds good (at least to a non-trained ear like mine) even when they're straining.
katie kawaii I think there will be obvious sign if a singer was straining, like if there's tongue tension the output would be sounded too froggy
Sounding good is subjective so singers with a vocal colour you like can sound good even when straining. Also they can still maintain good placement while straining like Yeonji or have a heady mix like Bada which makes the strain less obvious.
Lee Young Hyun is also a great belter. I think she will be right behind Sohyang in this video.
