[princepeterwolf]

[TheCartoonMaster3000]

[TheYohan98]

[landonemmava]

Very informative and helpful tips, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. I look forwards to more of your videos, I just subscribed. I'm also thankful that you don't take the rude and disrespectful comments to heart, as the one I'm viewing above as I type, posted by "lowhigh000", I don't know why they even bother to post such. Anyway, just to say thank you for volunteering "free" helpful information.

OMG... I forgot my voice in the car.

*runs outside to go get his voice*

Alright lets do this.

[RepublicTX]

I am a female - and have a natural tenor voice. I also know men whose natural range is high alto bordering on mezzo soprano. Gender shouldn't be a factor in classifying vocal range.

[TheYoungTenor100]

@RepublicTX u obviously don't have a natural tenor voice because its a make voice

[RepublicTX]

@TheYoungTenor100 I have to respectfully disagree as would several of the coaches I've worked with. Gender should not be the first consideration for determining tessitura and vocal fach. See YouTube videos from Vivaldi's Women for outstanding examples of female tenor and bass voices. Again, I know several males whose natural tessitura is alto. Should they be forced to sing outside their best range simply because they're male?

3:51 damn i had my pc sound to max, lol.... everybody asked whats going on!

[wlchambers]

bahahahaha @0:53

[pejie543]

i think,..it is effective,...nothing will lost if you will try,...

[XxAnnaCx]

shes just brilliant!

[babyfelo10]

i have a question... lets say my voice cant get to very high pitches.. if i keep singing and practicing will it be able to reach those high notes or is it ur born that way and it doesnt get any higher because its physically impossible?

[RoyalThePrince]

@demaz5 LMFAO

[redfo3009]

she'd be such a fun singing teacher! And I wouldn't say she's 'incorrect'.. there are many different ways of teaching..

[Azimuth95]

@demaz5 OMG RACIST

[576969sbunivedu]

The advice she gives works. Those are things I have been told by 3 different voice teachers... one of which is very highly respected. However, too much of a good thing can be harmful. Singing should be no different than speaking. If you notice, when you speak your voice is totally at rest and you are relying on your breath naturally. Also, when you need to yell or for whatever reason higher your pitch when you speak, you naturally use your mechanism/breath correctly to do so!

[Madlikeness]

I was just here to listen to ridiculous voice. Her instructions are incorrect though.

[mixey01]

@ 3.12 I bet your thinking about something else than singing

[TheMrEPenguin]

Her instruction is going to cause someone to damage their voice. She doesn't understand how the male voice works.

[pakman47449]

huge lol at 3:43 hahaha! But it was a good video

[Rachaeljewell]

all of this does not specifically apply to tenors, it is for all voice types.

[Operawatcher]

What she says is accurate and basic. However it does apply to

all high voice types. I guess to be specific to Tenors, Karen you would

have to speak about the passagio. Anyway useful info. Thanks.

[lowhigh000]

wtf, shes not tenor, why the hell is she teaching, freakin alto

[ChargerDaytona3589]

@lowhigh000 100% agree, I was asking myself the same question.

[splasherTV]

@lowhigh000 But a Contralto is a females lowest which equals up to the males highest, Tenor. So technically, she's as close as she can be.

[hrlrox]

thank you postin tis! im usually a soprano, but when i tried out for honor choir this year, I got tenor, and I have never sang tenor.

[Rachaeljewell]

@hrlrox Im confused, if you are a female then you are not a tenor. Besides, Tenors have the same vocal range as sopranos.

[hrlrox]

@Rachaeljewell well, my choir teacher told me i was a tenor. it is possible, just because you are a certain gender doesn't mean your voice range has to be the same. i can't sing that high anymore, puberty >:O lol

[Rachaeljewell]

@hrlrox I am an opera singer, and I have been singing for a very long time...trust me, I know what Im talking about. A tenor is the highest male voice (other than a countertenor). If you look at the music for a tenor and for a soprano, they have the same vocal range...therefore if you are in a choir, you can sing the tenor line...perhaps your choir was short on men, that is very common.

[hrlrox]

@Rachaeljewell okay! we are short on men, actually, i'd say it is why. I admire opera singing

[sassymiklala]

lmao! all u need for materials r :ur voice lmao kinda funny o_o
