I've studied voice for 20+ years with three different (and very good) teachers. But I've never heard any of them sum up the tenor's singing technique more succinctly and perfectly than this. I've been practicing the three simple things suggested in Christopher Jacklin's video, and they've worked wonders!! So there's no need to pay any mind to the crass, negative, know-it-alls who in actuality know nothing. Thanks for the on-line tutoring, Christopher. It's a free gift.
This is a very good thing for all new singers to know... There are soo many young singers who don't get taught correctly and have no idea that singing high is NOT pushing your chest range as far as it can go.
I was really having a bear of a time trying to navigate my passagio, but that close-up at 2:48 instantly resolved the issues I was having with my rising larynx! In case you guys didn't catch it, the key to singing high notes is to never blink. Granted, this can be a little awkward in your daily interactions (had a couple dates that didn't go well, me staring unblinking at a woman, her not understanding that I was simply modifying the third formant of my vocal tract to achieve imposta, quite pedestrian really...) But yes, maintaining a lifeless, penetrating gaze has helped my high notes immensely, and working at K-Mart I get a great discount on Clear-Eyes. Aside from some rather unjust restraining orders, I feel staring unflinchingly upon others has benefited me greatly!!
Male voices (especially young male voices) change ranges all the time. Last year I was auditioning for a production and I was singing as a Bass (by the request of the instructor) and could hit the entire operatic range with minimal stress. However, this year I joined my school choir, and the same instructor has placed me as a tenor. After that I explored the idea of being a tenor, and I can currently hit a high c, and I can still hit most of the bass notes (not very well though)
My voice used to sound like a bag of cats thrown into a woodchipper. But Thanks to this simple lesson from this professional opera singer and singing teacher, I now feel confident about my audition with the Dallas Opera next season.
You are correct in saying there is a limit. It is the length and thickness of your vocal cords. Common sense. A longer cord = deeper notes. a THICKER cord = deeper notes. The length and thickness is a natural limitation which is why you don't see soprano singers doing movie trailer voice over nor Don LaFontaine singing soprano opera parts. A guy that has a natural high voice promising to teach people to sing high... that's funny.
I mean if you sound like Barry White then *obviously* you won't be able to sing tenor. Most guys' voice are on the line between tenor and baritone, and I for one just recently discovered that my voice goes higher than I thought it did.
Join the club, man. I would LOVE to have a higher voice because it just cuts better in pop/rock songs. I have a baritone that is very wimpy and clean sounding. Think Casey Kasem without the resonance. So, I just sing in that area just above baritone and forsake trying to do anything high. I can't begin to touch anything in the high areas like F. Mercury, S. Perry, L. Gramm, and all the really awesome singers. But then, I'm more of a guitarist anyway.
As far as I know, a countertenor is a male singer who uses falsetto technique in order to sing with an alto register, so it's not their "natural" voice... and quite a lot of these countertenors are in fact baritones, like Andreas Scholl and Philippe Jaroussky... I hope this answers your question (I'm not a professional singer, nor a scholar, but I do love opera)
These are exactly the exercises my voice teacher taught me, and they work wonders. Still trying to sing Dalla sua pace, though. working on it. I'm a baritone too.
Thanks a lot for this - very informative and useful. It's sad that some folk feel they can be abusive just because you took time to create a video in order to help others. Keep up the good work. To the others: watch your language (it's offensive) and try a little respect.
I am a natural 2nd tenor. I can hit a few baritone notes but I can mainly cover the whole tenor spectra even up to G5 (In my tessitura) I had issues in the past but, since I didn't FORCE my high notes and when I learned how to control my support I was able to breeze through the scales
This is far the best, straight to the point, lesson! Christopher Jacklin I tank you with all my heart as you just opened my bass voice to reasonable tenor bell canto notes and I have realised what I need to do!
You definitely aren't a baritone, dude. If you are, you're one convincing tenor. Your head voice has that classic tenor quality like that dancing ghost in Luigi's Mansion.
Wow, sounds like you must be highly talented. Can you please post a video i would love to see you hit all those ranges :) And are you in a chorus?? Or do you mostly do solo vocals? Or both? All I am saying is that it is VERY DIFFICULT to go from a bass to a tenor unless you already can naturally hit various ranges. I know of some professionals that have started at baritone and have moved up to tenor but that in it's self took them YEARS to master.
my friend who wants to help me regain my voice told me that my vocal range is now tenor rather than alto (Which I used to be before testosterone treatment) so I hope that this will be helpful for me I used to love singing now I can't even get to simple notes that used to be as natural as breathing to me so I'm basically back at square one in my practices
Michael jackson used to make his talking voice really high to be able to sing from a tenor to a high tenor so speaking with a higher voice might actually help
I sing both bass and tenor and have found that tenor is more interesting to sing in my opinion. As he says the key is to keep your throat relaxed. If this is done some can sing from bass to low soprano if you're like me.
What he is talking about is a program by Brett Manning called Singing Success. They have coaches, but also a 12 cd program with exercises, definitions, and the like. If you pay attention to your physiology, it should be useful. I haven't completed it myself, but it is based on the SLS technique of Seth Riggs, who you should know as a very successful vocal coach.
I'm a fairly decent tenor but one skill I DO have is the ability to distinguish "your" from "you're." It takes training and a decent recall of eighth grade grammar.
1- Omg the Mayan father god pfp thats a cultured one 2- im sorry i can go INSANELY high babes, all because i wanted to be a soprano as a child now im stuck in a pitchy talking voice and insane high range (and a decadent low register)
Great video another tip is don't allow yourself to get louder as you move up in chest towards the break try to keep the volume constant then the transistor thru the break will appear to be seamless which Is what every singer is after.
out of their "natural" range, and still have yet to meet( in my personal singing time ) a single person that has successfully done it, and I would DEFINITELY call them "serious musicians" some of the people I mention have been singing for decades, and are amazing singers. Even in Professional Vocalists, you do not find too often singers that learned "out of their natural range". I'm sorry the reason I said "it's not a walk in the park" was because I felt like the way you commented you were
I appreciate it! I love singing, it just wasn't my calling. If anyone is reading this and is struggling trying to sing, it may not be your calling. However, you may be struggling with it even if it is your calling. Just make sure you love it.
2:45 I can't stop laughing!! He doesn't blink, and then he doesn't even look in the camera for a while, like I'm over here dude, and then, 2:45!! lol hahaha!!! great singer though.
yes, all of the voice scales can sing in head voice, Baritone, Bas, Tenor, it wont be as high as a tenor but it will be lighter, of course you dont want to sing those low bas notes in head voice, then you use your chest voice, but for singing some higher bas notes that seem hard (like the beginning to Bach "Es war ein wunderlicher krieg" from Christ lag in Todesbanden) you may want to try using the head voice there
You're a baritone? So am I. Though I have LONG ruled out the possibility of ever singing ANY tenor. Especially considering that even though I can hit a G#4 in chest (and that's the highest and it's not really strong), that's only when I warm up to that note. I don't visit the rafters, let alone live there. I sing bass I, though my lower register extends into bass II. [I warm my voice down to Bb1[on the ng consonant]].
This video isn't trying to teach you to be a tenor if you're not. It is a lesson for younger tenors trying to access their higher range. Also there should be no confusion, nothing he said here is untrue, it was all very accurate at a technical level, it might not work for some people but it's not advertised as a miracle cure for all tenors. For the record he used to be a tenor but switched down during his studies, definitely a baritone, and a good one at that.
Well, yes and no. Everyone has a natural range that is easiest for them, but with training and practice the human voice is capable of so much more. It's just like how any other wind instrument can be played outside it's "natural" range. The only issue is getting the notes to speak and then getting control, and that's definitely achievable with practice.
It will just take practice even if your a bass there is always potential to increase your range, just make sure to never stress or strain your notes and just practice singing higher, while keeping your throat clear and your larynx neutral, it will take time but practicing with a proper technique will will definitely help with being able to sing tenor
While I agree with most of your comments and the fact that you are not hating on anybody, you are calling people out. The fact of the matter is that any trained singer can hit three octaves or more. If you want to hear an example of that check out the aria "Si puo, Si puo" by Leoncavallo, I recommend Sherrill Milnes' rendition. Moreover, range is not the only determinant when it comes to voice classification, one must also take into account the weight and color of the voice.
I'm baritone, I'm 17 and I'm tenor in my choir and I want to extend my vocal range :c My vocal range goes from G2 (sometimes F2) to A4... Head voice from Ab4 until B5 Whistle register from F6 until A7 (sometimes B7/C8)
Aron Romelus really? Mine goes from G2 to Gb4 .-. And I know that the very highest note for a tenor in a choir is a A4 but really, I can't hit it!! :'(
+Jüliân Hndëz don't worry I give you a tips to how to hit the higher notes... be avoid to force your throat if you don't can't hit the higher notes don't force it bec. ur throat make it hurt
Ok people, sorry, but here it is. As a true opera singer myself and hugely respected teacher in Miami, Fl. I can tell you he is doing this wrong. When you do the "ng" exercise and release as he says, you are supposed to release in the same space as the sound which he is not doing. He starts the ng sound up, but then releases the sound in his throat. Wrong! Its supposed to stay up in the head. Check me out, Novell Allen.
+Elder Toguro Falsetto is a bad term. Think of head tone! It's natural Read the old books not the 20th century rubbish. Today's singers know nothing because the old bel canto traditions have been lost.
Stephen Beet Stephen, he is not talking about the counter-tenor type head voice your are thinking about. He's talking about a rock approach to falsetto which is far more abrasive. I know you aren't suggesting a screaming rock singer to sing bel Canto are you?lol
Is that the only comment you read that I posted? My other comments explain fully what I'm saying. I will also add, that most Professional Vocal Coaches would agree ( I say this from experience ) that it is NOT recommended to go out of your "natural" range, simply because although it may be possible to learn to sing out of your range (very well) it's a VERY DIFFICULT hurdle to overcome. I know a lot of my peers, and a lot of people threw out my time singing that have tried to do learn to sing
Be happy with what you have and work hard to be the best Alto you can be. I have heard some Real beautiful Altos. Trust me its a gift. Plus isn't alto almost the same as alto
I feel quite lucky since I can sing high C in head voice with any trouble whatsoever, I guess singing at school did have some benefits. But I wish I knew the technique to make my head voice richer and stronger with more vibrato.
Maybe he blinks when we blink so we don't see him blink.

Aron Romelus really? Mine goes from G2 to Gb4 .-. And I know that the very highest note for a tenor in a choir is a A4 but really, I can't hit it!! :'(
+Jüliân Hndëz don't worry I give you a tips to how to hit the higher notes... be avoid to force your throat if you don't can't hit the higher notes don't force it bec. ur throat make it hurt
Dude that nasal technique is GREAT!
Ok people, sorry, but here it is. As a true opera singer myself and hugely respected teacher in Miami, Fl. I can tell you he is doing this wrong. When you do the "ng" exercise and release as he says, you are supposed to release in the same space as the sound which he is not doing. He starts the ng sound up, but then releases the sound in his throat. Wrong! Its supposed to stay up in the head. Check me out, Novell Allen.
+Novell A Do you have any advice on reinforced falsetto? I'm currently trying to get my falsetto sound to be less breathy.
+Elder Toguro
Yes, it is called vocal chord adduction and is usually used by rock singers
+Novell A Take the advice of Garcia!!!
+Elder Toguro Falsetto is a bad term. Think of head tone! It's natural Read the old books not the 20th century rubbish. Today's singers know nothing because the old bel canto traditions have been lost.

Stephen, he is not talking about the counter-tenor type head voice your are thinking about. He's talking about a rock approach to falsetto which is far more abrasive. I know you aren't suggesting a screaming rock singer to sing bel Canto are you?lol
Is that the only comment you read that I posted? My other comments explain fully what I'm saying.
I will also add, that most Professional Vocal Coaches would agree ( I say this from experience ) that it is NOT recommended to go out of your "natural" range, simply because although it may be possible to learn to sing out of your range (very well) it's a VERY DIFFICULT hurdle to overcome. I know a lot of my peers, and a lot of people threw out my time singing that have tried to do learn to sing
I want to be a tenor so bad. But I'm a girl, I'm willing to have a man's voice. Guess I'm just stuck with stupid lower octave alto :(
omg you lower octave alto? My best friend is lower octave alto
Be happy with what you have and work hard to be the best Alto you can be. I have heard some Real beautiful Altos. Trust me its a gift. Plus isn't alto almost the same as alto
soulwinner567 Sorry, what was that last part?
+Secret Admirer oh sorry I messed up. I ment to say this isn't an alto almost the same as a tenor

very good teacher.
Go drunk camera guy youre home
I like this guy and his advice, I subscribed already. Cannot wait to learn.
who made this video? damn... editing is so confusing...
I feel quite lucky since I can sing high C in head voice with any trouble whatsoever, I guess singing at school did have some benefits. But I wish I knew the technique to make my head voice richer and stronger with more vibrato.
Pause the recording, i need to blink.
Descending falsetto slides are the easiest way to strengthen the musculature needed to sing the passagio and get rid of the break. In my opinion.
You are either a tenor or you are not.... end of.
I actually was quite good on this, I didn't even know I could do that
