thank you for this. my issue is my head voice is only strong when making an ooh sound Its very weak when making an an ahh sound..pleas help I really enjoy singing.
Everytime I do that exercise with them, I see the difference with my own voice really. Someone just asked that how could his changed in 1 min. If you do it correctly your voice will change in no time too. He's a great teacher really. I wish I was a little closer to him so I could take some private lessons. My voice is strong but one of my muscles is lazy as its dynamic is a little broken. Also Headvoice is close to falsetto. but brigther and stronger than falsetto.
i have this same guys problem though. my voice just drops off. its not airy its head voice its just wont go that high and light. feel like its compression problem cause when my voice drops i can feel slight airflow still just no pitch. its easier with weeeee instead of ooooo for me as well.
wow this is amazing i know if i practice enough i can have a better voice than i do now and might i say my voice is good but i had tha wrong vocal choach maybe i need to contact you what do you think
I am so confused! It sounds like they're still singing in falsetto to me. :( My falsetto is kinda strong so I don't know if I'm using it when I try to get into my head voice, which I don't think I have ever accomplished into accessing yet. I'm a baritone btw and I hit a C6 with my falsetto before but I could feel it was the wrong technique and my throat felt like someone scrubbed it with sand paper. Without a head voice, the highest full note I can only do is an F4, which is pathetic!
The problems I have with this immediately is that the tone being taught isn't really usable, both pupil and tutor are sitting down which is kind of weird, and both of their postures are counterproductive to singing. I'm not claiming to have all my vocal issues sorted, far from it really. But, I have heard some big names singing in masterclasses and such, and none of them sound like this.
I can do heat tone this way, and on the exercises...but when i am singing words...its totally diferent :( i cant sing head voice on my bridge, it sounds funny...its diferent when you sing a song, totally...
I have an issue. I can sing with an amazing high range for a male, but once I start singing high notes, I have problems with my screaming and head voice and falsetto. Are they linked together? (my scream is similair to Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park) I've been trying to find a video online to help me out, but I can't seem to find some good techniques. If anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
There's a big part of this video missing.... When it cuts from the warmup at 2:42, Astin has a hard time singing the Bb in head voice. Then it cuts, and they're singing to make the guitarstrings vibrate- sudden, and now he has a B without any problems. There's probably some music theory to discribe how it's easier because it's higher. But I would like to see how the hell his voice seemed to change so suddenly, cause THAT's where I'm stuck...
my god all this time i thought i was in my head voice and all above was falsetto ,,all this time i was in chest voice ,,,i pushed my chest voice to the limit
This sounds exactly like falsetto to me. (Even at the end) I myself have a falsetto that sounds exactly like this (and not all twangy like Austin, though I'll sing like that when imitating Neil Young) so I really have no idea why they're calling this head voice. I may have no idea why what head voice should sound like (my head voice sounds completely different than this) but I'm sure that I'm singing in a well-supported falsetto considering I can reach B5. I also know I'm a baritone (G2-A#4)
Nice to see someone with some sense on these videos. You're right, this is 100% falsetto. Head voice isn't nearly as easy to pull off as some of these 'world class' vocal coaches like to claim. A great example of real head voice is the singer of T-Ride, he's a Baritone who can do G#1-G5 by utilizing his head voice. Insane!
@Danerage This is definitely head voice. Falsetto is if the cords break apart, it's very airy. It's a false coordination in your voice. Hence the name.
Notice how this quite literally has absolutely no audible connection in its sound? Real head voice retains chest connection, just a much smaller amount than mixed voice does. This is blatant falsetto.
@Danerage Notice how this video is about finding head voice and not connecting about connecting the voice. It's pure about finding his head voice. And I know this is head voice because I can do it myself and connect to it from chest too very easily.
Actually, he's in falsetto pretty much the entire time. When he scales up without breaking, he's just performing a subtle switch and then going straight into falsetto. The timbre shift is much too dramatic for this to be connected to his chest voice.
@Danerage That is simply not true. Falsetto is a result of lack of cord closure, and it causes the voice to become very airy. His voice isn't airy at all.
Its amazing how many people are ignorant of the difference. I did Singing Success for a few weeks and head voice feels and sounds SO different than falsetto. I can hear/feel the difference so easily. Problem is, trying to get other people to understand that haha
The student sounds kinda like a kazoo. :-) I guess everybody can improve on their tools, but those great-toned hi register abilities are a gift that you're born with.
Brett..always my guru!!! Austin...his limit is also in his chest breathing!I noticed that especially in the begining of the video! Anyway...Brett..you method is INCREDIBLE!!!You're a genius!!Good teacher and good singer!!(supergood!) ;)
I am very impressed with brett mannings videos and other coaches they put onto thier videos and I love seeing them and soon i'm going to be hooking up with him in the next couple of weeks because i can't seem to find my tone and i'm going to find my head and chest voice and make it more me. I love your work too and i have alot of work to do to improve in sort of way. I hope you will have a great day. Quadracer687 (Laura)
[continued].....I learned how to sing in my mixed voice, going higher from my chest but still not to my head voice cuz i still use falsetto for the higher notes. Just today, literally 2 hours ago, I figured out how to sing in Full Voice?? And now I can sing 6 octaves using chest, mixed, full, falsetto, head, and whistle voice. Anyways, I was just curious if teaching them to go from highest to lowest would be affective as well. Great videos though :D :D
I have a question..... in all your videos, you teach your students to sing higher and higher (going from chest to mixed to full to head etc.) but have you ever tried teaching backwards? I learned (by myself) how to sing (with a lot of power) in my falsetto and then i figured out how to sing with head voice (with more power). I could sing in chest but there was a huge gap in between the voices. Just this summer I learned how to sing in whistle register and 2 weeks ago..... [continue next post]
Congrats to Austin, I had no concept of head voice before I started doing Brett's exercises and now I can't believe how i could sing without going into head.
it feels like a jojo to me going up and down but i think i have some allergies going on cause it's kinda breathy but feels really full and rich and easy, some days it's really clear other days it's a little breathy especially in the lower notes
I know a lot of people who can't sing in their head voice. All they have is an airy falsetto. I would always sing along to classic rocks songs really lightly when I was younger so I guess I taught myself unknowingly.
Really like this. I suffer from this. My head voice is either really weak or is pulling too much chest voice up. I guess just letting the voice go where it wants to go is the key.
