      interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover can you learn to sing falsetto? try Proutklarton Awaken Wish Plan ( search on google )?
      It is an awesome exclusive product for discovering how to become a better singer without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got cool results with it.

      Vocal fry low to twang falsetto! Singing is more about tone, timbre and pitch! At some point we started chasing range! Lyrics and melody are also above the aforementioned! If you can sing melodiously in the low and high ranges - stop and rethink! Singing is more than noises is the air! It is more than "notes"!

      I guess at the moment he's more like a bass-baritone.
      Voices get a little lower as people age, so he'll probably turn into a "full" bass when he's around 30.
      Just a guess though.

    • @awkwardukulele6077
      @awkwardukulele6077 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Bruh this hits close to home. I was stuck at c4 from 16 till 19. I had no clue how to use other registers, so I was stuck with a strained sound until I learned mix and head voices.
      It was only after that that I could bring my chest voice up easier. I top out around g4 on a good day, but only because my voice knows how to slip into falsetto when it gets tired. Before, I couldn’t go above c4 without actual shouting and pain.
      ANY basses/baritones around, take David’s advice to heart here, even if you never wanna sing like a tenor range, the ease and power you get from his techniques here will save your chords in the future.

    I’ve been practicing ever since this video came out and my comfortable range went up from a C4 to and F4. And my highest belted note went from a G#4 to a Bb4, so it’s been a great process and I can’t wait to see my progress in 3 years when I get to senior year.

    This helped build on stuff I found a few years back. The rubber band analogy helped me beat my d4 limit when my voice dropped originally. I wasn’t able to hit anything, ANYTHING, in the 5th octave until I found how to stretch my voice for falsetto and add more gradually, and my top note went from b4 to over g5. So happy to hear more of this advice being spread. Take my like👍

    I'm a basso cantante and my natural chest range goes from C2-F#4. I can force a G4 with enormous straining but I wanna stop that non sense and learn how to use mixed voice. It might just be my opinion but the problem for me has been that 99% of vocal coaches don't fully understand the bass voice types. You have been really helpful so far. I still sound like a broken copy machine from time to time when I'm doing the exercises but my throat feels a lot healthier when I'm using the range from C4-G4, so thank you and greetings from Germany.

Was literally searching through TH-cam to gain some confidence on my own voice to see if it was possible for a person with my voice type (probably baritone) who could sing. Although my voice doesn't go as low as yours, it's surely a bit on the deeper side so watching this video gave me a lot of inspiration to not give up on my dream of being able to sing. Thank you man! I watched some of your covers. You have an amazing voice! I subbed and keep up the great work!

  • @paulmoren2216
    @paulmoren2216 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Oh, I feel you, bro! I´ve always been trained as a baritone but pop music requires sometimes a high C. It´s been so hard to develop the speech level singing mix and the nasal constriction mix by myself. My classical teachers (in Mexico they are the cheapest) said I had to use apoggio to reach high notes and that only allows me to reach a high A, and the estill teacher I had last semester wanted me to belt with apoggio too but without the operatic passagio (like classical teachers trying to teach me pop singing), he was very disgusted when I told him I don´t wanted to use pulled chest voice anymore and the worst came when I told him I wanted to develop a dark nasal mixed sound (like R&B singers), he said that was not correct and as I said "it´s my voice and I want to decide my sound" he asked the school for a change of student. I know a great teacher who knows SLS and Nasal Constriction very well but because of covid-19 right now I don´t have the money to work with her. So sad. But you know what keeps me hopeful? Last year when I was starting to develop my mix I was asinged to a classical teacher who really thought I was a tenor because I was able to reach a high Bb (mixed) and he really thoght it was my "tenor range" and not a mixed voice so I gues I´m going the right way lol

    I have been feeling very bad about my voice and this helped me. I do theatre and would love to go on to a professional stance and go onto bigger things with theatre as I feel I am a decent actor. However I am a bass. And in theatre (musical theatre) as in broadway, I would get told that as a bass you will not be able to play young characters. This has some truth as many broadway actors in male leads must be a tenor or a high baritone. And being a bass is very demotivating when you get told that you won’t ever be able to hit high notes. However this video helped me see that I can. And that I can use my voice and become more versatile.

    After watching this very inspirational video and after only with the first lesson w my teacher I was able to hit a clean A4. I’m gonna be honest here the way I was able to get it was not through the exercise here but just trying to reach for those high notes and trying stuff on my own to at least hit the notes of the song i really loved with no falsetto .
    The bihb bihb exercise from my teacher was what probably helped me learn what it feels like but but it was still sounding very heady but I always kept this tip of yours in the back of my mind :start with the falsetto and and bring chest voice down.. I’ve used today to make my my mixed voice sound better and it worked sounds a lot fuller and chestier still not as good as your A4# on the cover u made but it’s a huge step. This was a huge revelation to me though and probably the second happiest day of my life...the happiest was when my teacher told me yes you can sing tenor!!! It doesn’t matter in contemporary music!!! You’re gonna get that A4 just practice!! So yes there is hope for us baritones!!!!!! And heck i have acid reflux and can’t practice that regularly if ur healthy then u can do this even faster!!!! Good luck to y’all . It doesn’t have to take 10 or 5 years !!!

    It's kind of funny, tenors like me need to pay attention to the other way, singing low notes with a high voice.
    Some tenors can go really deep, my deepest chest voice note is an E2, F#1 with vocal fry/subharmonic singing.
    But we just don't have the power and volume the likes of you, Avi and Tim have. So we try to make up for it by putting a little to much weight into our low notes, which is not exactly that healthy.
    I'm happy as a tenor but sometimes I wish I could be a bass.
    The resonance you get when singing those low notes or just speaking is absolutely incredible.

    Hi @David Kahn :) I hope you see this comment because while I listen to all of your covers and I'm generally not into those styles of music, it's still impressive to see someone with such a range. I think if I had started singing normally my voice would have been a baritone or low tenor but the bass range is fascinating to me. I figure I won't be singing much higher than the 4th octave but I'm trying to extend my low range. Chest voice I can sing Eb2, I can reliably get a G1 with subharmonics (which I learned from yours and @David Larson's video) and I can hit an F1 with growl. I still think low chest is the best sounding of all these registers, however, so I'd like to be able to get to a C2. I want to be able to sing Avi Kaplan's bass part in Pentatonix - Run To You. Again, while I'm comfortable with the top of my range and don't plan to expand it much, I enjoyed this and found it helpful because I think these techniques are applicable to any note. Thanks for listening :)) (Speaking of listening I listened to your song Make It on Our Own and it was great. Your range blows me away)

    This video makes much more sense to me on how to hit high notes. I'm still young and I'm going through puberty. In middle school I could hit so many high notes, but then in 8th grade my voice started getting lower and I had to push more to get high notes.
    I asked my music teacher about how I can reach high notes again and they told me it's some kind of feeling in your throat, but I still didn't get it.
    I tried doing your exercise in this video. Whenever I try to switch from head voice to chest voice I have to do a little break in between and I can't do it continuously. I really don't get how to open up my vocal chords during chest voice, I have to push everytime.
    Thanks for the vid, it really helped me with identifying what my problem was (pushing) and I know it's not as hard as I think. Can you give me some exercises to work on to improve my high notes voice?

  • @maxsherritt8242
    @maxsherritt8242 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would say this is a valid point. However, a Tenor voice has the same 1st passagio (E,F,F# above Middle C) area as most regular Bass voices, and also Baritone voices, their voices may not be quite as hefty, but the change from Bass to Tenor classification is not abrupt enough to change the passagio to a higher area, so getting stuck on the F4 is possible for a Tenor as well, and even if they can sing higher than that and you can't, Tenor voices will not be able to comfortably sing all in chest voice into an F4 without making a transition. Their less hefty and less thick classification may make it easier for them to have tension that they can pull through F4 that a Bass has a harder time with, but that tension will usually catch up with them in the 2nd Passagio (A,Bb,B,C above Middle C). So, regardless of your range, all singers need to know how to sing smoothly through the 1st Bridge, or passagio which for most male voices ( Regular Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Counter-Tenor) is E4,F4,F#4. Only then can we all effectively cross the break and have a strong powerful head voice. The 1st passagio has to be free of tension before we stretch our voices up.
    Its the same concept with females as well. An Alto voice, despite being lower than a Soprano, is going to have the same 1st Passagio (A,Bb,B,C above Middle C) as a Mezzo, 1st Soprano, or the less common Coloratura. Unless you're dealing with a Contralto (Deeper Alto) voice, the change in the other voices is not enough for the 1st bridge to be lower or higher.

    That's an interesting video. Honestly I got the theory for quite a while now (to the point I can actually teach what you're showing) but doing it is another thing. I'm actually a professional operatic bass so maybe my problem is there (like singing with too much fold in full chest for years). I can sing strong covered F4 and can go as low as a good strong D2. As for head belt, I can do really good belts from C4 to maybe A5, even some good heavy metal screams like manowar with healthy saturation. But man, between E4 and C4, two options, first is having a weak head voice full of air, second one is try to add more folds but end up sounding like a duck and it's very instable and it seems impossible to bridge this with chest voice, even light one. Do you have an advice ? Of course I'll try those few exercises.

  • @sithlordmikeyp
    @sithlordmikeyp 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My current range is like E2-F#4. In the morning I can sometimes do a D2 but any "note" lower is usually like a whisper. I really want to get to A4. I'm not too interested in lowering my voice, but I imagine that's likely impossible since you can't add girth to your flaps?

    I also find that while I can get a very similar mixed voice sound in a nasal way like you mention here, it has a serious volume limit that makes it unusable for very loud rock stuff because it just does not compete with the aggressive top end of my lower register. So instead, although it's much harder to develop the strength and coordination for, it's more valuable to learn to make that same very bright tonal quality by having good placement and projection, almost in an operatic way. This gives it cut and a fullness that, while still not the same as a lower register sound, at least competes in terms of volume over loud electric instrumentals. It's very similar in sound, enough to confuse most people, but it's easy to tell the difference because it's not at all impacted if you plug your nose while making it, it's a bit harsher and it's probably about 10-20db louder on average than the nasal tone you described here.

So i feel that u dont need to push high note but stretch it as u said. Now i can hit G3 easily, but higher notes sound thin. Do i need time to teach my muscle or am i doing something wrong? When i warmup i dont feel any strain and i feel my neck very relaxed.

    Helo David! I watched this video of yours in August of 2019 and the method of starting in falsetto and then adding your chest voice helped me so much , but personally I have a very big problem with that. What I want to say is that, since I am using chest voice and falsetto in my mix voice I can't sing at all anything from F4# to G4# at all, because it's really high for my chest voice and still really low for my mixed voice , because I feel that the falsetto can't go any lower , what can I do?

      Imo that's your bridge, feeling a level of support in your breath and opening your throat with a sound directed at the teeth.
      I would begin speaking then add a croon kinda tone then go for a fully supported sound when it feels comfortable. Bridging those gaps takes awhile but if you focus on healthy technique it will be easy and almost effortless when you get it.

    Hey man, I'm supposedly a baritone once I started belting in chest voice, I can only belt a G4 to G4# but only if I belt loud. I can sometimes maybe hit an A4.but not reliably to sing. You're a Bass which is lower than a baritone so technically if you can hit an A4 with a dominantly chest sound then So should I right? maybe even a note higher so like a B4 with a chesty sound. can you hit a B4 with it sounding like chest voice?
    I really want to get from a consistent G4 in chest to a consistent B4 do you think with the the right technique and training it is possible?
