  • By far the best videos for learning how to sing.

  • i cant sing really high anymore .... im a girl fyi .... before i joined choir in school, my voice is higher but now, my voice is getting deeper, i am from alto in choir and im having a choir revoicing tmrw and im afraid i cant hit the high notes...

  • heeyy, love your video it helped me a lil bit ...

    but, i still need more help reaching out to the c but my voice like breaks then it sounds bad... is there anything else i could do to try to reach the higher notes & i need help with belting too as well.

  • Hello! I have a quick question for you, when I sing in my head voice it suddenly becomes very airy and when I try to make my voice more powerful my voice cracks. I was wondering what you would suggest for how to put more power behind my voice without breaking.

    Cheers!

    Phoibe

  • @PK7gurl i have the same problem too.

  • Thank you for this video. it helped me, but I still don't feel when should I stop singing with the chest voice and when to start with the head voice

  • hi thank you for this vid! do you have any tip on how to do a grunt? thanks

  • I know I just commented on a different video of yours, but I just want to comment that you have a beautiful vocal tone. And you can sing a tenor c#? Amazing. I would like to hit a G above middle C consistently without strain. I have been singing for most of my life, and I never really knew about head voice until fairly recently. I have always belted chest; it was the only method I had any knowledge of. I can see there are better sounding and healthier methods, and I am trying to correct my habit

  • Heeey =D

    Amazing Videos really thanks for all ur help ...

    I do have a Head Voice but itz not as strong as it used to be

    Usually to Reach my HV i need to do a series of Vocal Runs then im able to reach notes using HV which is usually F#5 G5 Bb5 and B5 ....

    But i cant seem to control them very well and they break unintentionally .. Also i have once Sang all the down to a C5 using head but cant do it all the time cz it jst breaks. How can i develop a more reliable, connected HV?

  • Comment removed

  • @XxSomeonePersonXX To answer your question I need to know how much air you are using to sing in head voice? Is it the same as when you are singing lower in your range?

  • @AussieVocalCoach ,, Thaanks for the reply =] i really appreciate it

    Mmmmmm as i go higher i use less air ... but when i hit the C5 . D5 in head they sounded really flute-like (thats why i know itz HV) so i guess alot of air in the lower head voice and lesss in the higher.

  • @XxSomeonePersonXX Ok, when I am teaching how to sing in head voice I demonstrate that you need to use the same amount of air for every note you sing. That doesn't mean the same amount is released though. As you sing higher the vocal cords get closer together which doesn't allow as much air to flow through. You should feel some pressure behind the cords because of this. It is this pressure that maintains a connected head voice.

  • @AussieVocalCoach : occasionaly i am able to transition from chest to head on vowels like E .... so i gues that uses the same amount of air .... and sometimes im able to "Scat" notes in HV on the "A" vowel for like 7 times back to back .... all in the hopes of getting a strong reliable HV ... yet i may be able to do this then 5 mins later i lose this ability ... and have to "Force" the notes .. Sometimes forcing them works and the notes do come out and sometimes it doesnt

  • hey just a quick question, I am a guy and i sometimes sing in my falsetto in my spare time, i can do it quite good and high without straining, but could this be harming my normal singing voice???

  • @XxSoldxOutxX The only thing you need to be careful of is taking your falsetto down as a replacement for head voice. You can develop a massive break in your voice. Keep falsetto above head voice and it won't harm your normal voice.

  • bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb wa a aah!

  • Is there anyway i can sing in my head voice but makeing it stronger like the chest voice? thanx btw love your vids.

  • Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!!! It's truly helping me develop:)

  • when i sing certain high notes i feel pressure by my temples causing me to feel very light headed im not sure if im forcing that note should i still practice the exercizes in order to achieve that note without making myself light-headed thanks again

  • If you are feeling light headed and pressure in your temples I'd say stop doing the exercise. I don't want you to faint!

  • when i sing in head voice my notes feel breathy but im not singing in falsetto, is it natural for it to sound breathy to yourself ?

  • It is common for the head voice to sound breathy. This is caused by not enough compression. Compression is related to breath pressure as it moves through the vocal cords. When you sing in head voice your cords lengthen and thin out. The space for the air to move through is much smaller. Your breathiness is caused by either too much air or not enough cord closure. Vocal fry exercises would help with this problem.

  • thanks alot and thanks for the videos

  • Thanks for having my back guys! I have to admit this is the first time I've been called a goblin...I'm a fan of fantasy novels but that is taking things a bit too far! LOL

  • I have asked this man plenty of questions, and have gotten a very satisfactory answer every single time. To me, this proves that he knows his stuff.

  • I agree. Aussie is the ONLY online vocal teacher that offers his stuff TRULY FREE! So why can't people be happy. Aussie is a great guy!

  • Ok for the record....

    Yes I can sing high notes, tenor top C# to be exact. I have played piano for 29 years, I have sung professionally with opera companies and I have acted on stage and screen. I have never taken lessons from Brett Manning only my four year university degree in voice with one of the best teachers in Australia. I have taught singing for the past 8 years full time. Had you taken the time to visit my site you would know all of this. And by the way all of my content is free..

  • how come i don't hear the head voice?!? you sound like you were in chest voice - explain please im confused!!

  • I agree. I didn't demonstrate high enough in this lesson.  The exercise is correct, my demonstration does cause some confusion as I stop before true head voice. I am going to re-record it with higher demonstration.

  • Welcome to the You Tube experience, coach. One word...."Delete".

    That's about as much time as I spend on people like this. Keep up the good work.

  • hey how come when i do the lip exercises i felt heaviness in my chest??

  • i did it much better dis time. thanx for telling me my mistake. I WAS pulling my larynx up.

  • i'm not sure how to use head voice. i use falsetto every time. sorry but this exercise didn't help. i almost strained when doing the ahhh sound.

  • If you felt like you were straining you may have been pulling your larynx up as you sung up the scale. Sorry to hear it didn't help you.

  • How should the head voice feel like?I dont know what is that :S?its definetly not falsetto i know that !
