  • How To Sing The High Notes - 3 Tips

    See it here!

  • yeah but come on the speaker is right next to the wine glass... i think anything could break it! Play a gabba kick :)

  • @kragle2008 He then breaks one without the speaker :P Please go watch the episode.

  • Comment removed

  • He looks like Ryan Reynolds, just cut his hair off,,,

  • He has 2 names?

  • i just noticed at 0:31 they misspelled his name

  • @mvpdlrg They got his name completely wrong at 0:24

  • i can hit those notes... must... buy... crystal glass cup thingy...

  • Check out the short clip of my attempt. I got glass in my mouth :D

  • Isn't it considered VERY BAD singing when you break glass??? How could that help anyone's career?

  • @dars2607 Well, he gets a lot of publicity, that's how it helps his career.

    As for VERY bad? No, just no. Check out the song mentioned below your comment for example, take hold of the flame, best vocals too come out of America ever :D

  • @dars2607 it's just a frequency you need to hit. nothing to do with good or bad singing

  • @mattoita Incorrect...without the resonance and depth in your voice to raise the amplitude and get the sound wave form to match with the the structural vibration wave of the glass, you won't get very far. Believe me, shattering higher glasses is easier because it becomes a more uniform wave as frequency increases and amplitude decreases. The lower glasses like the C# in the mythbusters video border on the impossible due to the wave nature and elasticity of the material. Learn your facts please.

  • @Icyveins906 I actually "know my facts" since I study physics. What you said is correct but I don't see where the good-singing part comes in... as I said, all you need to do is hit the "resonating frequence" of the glass (I don't know the exact translation). Of course it takes some skill to do so but I think being a good singer and being able to break glasses are quite unrelated things: one doesn't necessarily imply/require the other.

  • @Icyveins906 I might be wrong on this last point, it's just my opinion, but don't tell me about physics stuff, I've had enought of it (passed with 27/30 ;) )

  • @dars2607 On the contrary, being able to break glass means you have extremely good pitch control, support, and resonance, all qualities of a GOOD singer. Now, when training for this, go in small steps so you don't injure your vocal apparatuses. Too much volume too soon will strain your vocal cords and folds, sometimes forming nodes which require surgical removal.

  • Take hold of the FLAME!!!!!!!!!! lol Queens ryche

  • He could be the next Rob Halford!

  • stevie wonder got blind when he broke a glass with his voice without wearing sunglasses,the glass got into his eyes

  • I can hit notes like this. I'm tempted to try now lol

  • @FlamingoSnuff Start with higher notes than C# and work your way down. Anything F and higher will break much more easily due to structural tensions and resonant wave natures I'm sure you'd rather I not explain. If you can, in falsetto, maintain a very resonant, full-bodied F, you have a voice capable of breaking glass. I've broken a few around G G#.

  • this news from baltimore

  • this myth shoulda been busted in the 80's with Jim Gillette...

  • eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e! clash

  • I like his attitude; some people take advantage of trivial traits that they have in their singing and they just abuse them to death. For example, Carey. I love Mariah Carey, but I think her excessive use of whistle notes and practically donning a title and recognition for that is a bit of a waste.

  • that's BARELY in the 6th octave :/

  • so he doesnt do it with his voice he does it with a speaker

  • @tookatooka456710 He goes back right after the speaker and does it with just his voice :P god does no one actually watch the episodes?

  • Dude, he looks JUST LIKE Glen Benton of Deicide.

  • Twist your balls and you'll get higher.

  • Who says he has to sound like an angel while he's trying to break glass?

  • this guy is balls at singing, its just loud screeching that can break glass. he doesnt want to be known for the guy can that break glass? well thats how its gonna be because hes not even a good singer. yeah i can be a douche sometimes.

  • @fattybergeson --LOL. You crave attention don't you. Anyways, good luck learning how to sing.

  • @einarabelc5 oh yeah i crave attention...? im not even learning how to sing, im not a singer. i play the guitar and i happened to stumble upon this video. its easy to tell when someone isnt good at something even if you dont do it yourself. i only post comments like that when im bored and the "yeah i can be a douche sometimes" could have been left out so ya got me there chief.

  • @fattybergeson I used to behave like you. I'm not saying you're like that, but that you just have a habit. That's why I'm calling it out. I played guitar for 14 years until I injured my hands. Now I'm learning to sing. I didn't believe I could before. It just happens to be that Jaime is a great coach. Before he was a coach he used to sing. He started singing at 14 years old and has taught singers like James Labrie after his accident.

  • @fattybergeson You should never consider people as unidimensional beings. Specially with the easeness of information access the Internet offers. It happens to be that doing reinforced falsetto. A.k.a. why you so ignorantly call screaming is what it takes to break glass @ 105/120 dBm. Don't let your bad habits make a fool out of yourself. Peace.

  • @einarabelc5 Ive watched his other videos of him singing on his website and thats why im saying hes not very good. I know hes not actually trying to sing when he breaks glass, but my main point is thats what hes going to be remembered for. I dont think im behaving poorly and i dont have a bad habit of posting comments like that one. Like i said i did it because i was bored at the time, i dont know why your getting defensive.

  • @fattybergeson You might be right I must be getting defensive. Thanks.

    It's hard to come by videos of him actually singing. But that's what he did before and still does. Otherwise No serious singer would consider him as his coach.

  • @einarabelc5 if you want to listen to him actually sing go on his website, i didnt think it was very good lol. but your right i shouldnt post negative comments like i did, i was just bored.

  • @einarabelc5 When he actually tries to sing it isnt good, so im not being ignorant because ive heard his actual singing voice.

  • Okay he is singing the same vocal technique that Jim Gillette sings in his video

  • umm my dad is better than this guy ....

  • @TheBloodofheros then why don't you tell your dad to make a youtube vid to show the world his amazing talent.

  • yaay i was chillin' with him in bahrain 4 days ago :)...he's soo cool and humble 2

  • HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY!

  • Uhm... isn't it usually BAD singing that breaks glass in cartoons? Why would doing it in real life make you famous instead of notorious?

  • then king dimond can break dimonds

  • MARIAH CAREY I <3 HER!

  • I bet adam lambert could do that. I wonder if he's ever tried.

  • Comment removed

  • i don't think it works because it has to be a constant tone..

    and the human voice can't do this.. its hot that hard to break a glass

    with a swinging stick inside :)

  • @Phil86vie its a straw : |

  • He's Just Nothing , G#6 ~ G#7 cannot break a glass , look up for : Georgia Brown , She can even get the G10 with her voice !

  • at the end of his screams it really sounds like slayer

  • Kenny Barnette?

  • I love that he's doing lip rolls at the end!

  • Whoah...John Ritter in disguise?

  • Mariah Carey wants her Vision Of Love hair style back.

  • @paulie Mariah Carey's whack

  • @DAVO360 your mom

  • @GUGU2101 lol..

  • he is a vocal instructor, he teaches alot of famous singers personaly and hes sony productions most well kept secret

  • damm that´s a pretty badass hair lol

  • derka derka

  • @metalvocalistwanted haha i get it

  • every thing has a self resonance and creating a sonic wave of exactly that resonance can break everything...people should understand that the astonishing is not a certain high note but the ability to reach exactly that resonance...

  • I bet King Diamond or Rob Halford could shatter glass

  • Definitely And Carlos Zemaa Alsooo!!!

  • I second that.

  • ya?

  • She can do that as well.

  • He started with an awesome JIM GILETTE POWER NOTE SLIDE!!!!!!!!

  • LOL 1:48 = sexy

  • i want him for my band

  • @mateoarv get a girl

  • correction hes a rock singer big mistake dude

  • adam lamberts twin brother. lol

  • jaime vendera can break glass with voice, i know that. but to break a wine glass you must sing at the same frequency at the glasse's frequency

    And not with high notes.

  • wtf?

    that is so far from "very high note".

  • i got shivers

  • umm.. you can break glass if you turn the volume up enough - not by a note that you can hear with the human ear. You want to hear a glass breaking note, check out Redd Barron Kill Or Be Killed. Now that's a song with high notes! If you like metal that is.

  • the newscaster had a better scream

  • 1:49 was sexy

  • Lol! I was just thinking that. :D

  • ya dude if this guy was in a metal band, he would kick ass as the lead singer. his voice reminds me of ronnie james dio or even bruce dickinson

  • actually he was in a 80's band called 'nitro' with micheal angelio batio. you should search for the song 'machine gun eddie'

  • cool dude i will

  • jim gillette was the nitro's vocalist

  • he looks alike dave groh

  • Why isn't this guy in a power metal band?

  • He Is...

  • @valerieinspace because his voice sucks. He can break glass with his voice, but it doesn't sound good at all. Rather pretty annoying.

  • @valerieinspace

    He's chosen to focus on his teaching. He's a great teacher actually, really helpful.

  • @valerieinspace He swallowed the band!

  • Hells yes Mythbusters! I love that show! I actually saw this episode when it first aired!

  • head chest and mix are not registers!!

    Vocal fry, modal, FALSETTO and whistles are the 4 vocal registers

  • i want that guy to come sing for my metal band

  • 0:23 that is so amazing

  • Dragonsforce's lead singer lol

  • Helping his career?  No wayyyyyyyyyy-ahhhhhhhhhh-ahh-a­h-ahah!!!

  • i laugh every time

  • 31?! ROFLMAOOOOOOOOO! Only a retarded person could believe that!

    'you are an attention whore.'

    Why? Cuz I have 'many' views & friends? GTFO with all your stupid theories! This is a YouTube community and people have the right to send how many friend invites they want! But it's pathetic to come to my channel to tell me I'm 'fake' and all that bullshit & post stupid comments about me on others' channels & vids, telling them to delete me! Get a life & stop acting like a stupid kiddie! :))

  • 'you gypsy dumbfuck'

    BTW, keep you shitty insults to yourself... But yeah, probably your mother is a gypsy!

    Retard...

  • 'AlphaWolfOverman (50 seconds ago) Show Hide -1 Marked as spam Reply | Spam quit sending me love letters SLUT.'

    OMG, kid, get a life & stop bothering & insulting me for no reason cuz I will report you! Do your parents even know that you're using the Internet? LMFAOOOOOOOO!

    Pathetic...

  • Are you seriously expecting a rational comment from a white supremacist. Good Luck my friend. Maybe he's confusing 'eat shit and die asshole!' as a come on. Oh well, kids these days.

  • Hey, mofrakker, white supremacist? He sounds like a 11 years old retard without friends so he needs someone to talk to and that's why he's harassing me! Ahahahaaa! That kid has a serious mental disease. He has like 4-5 YouTube accounts & he's posting bad & fake insulting comments about me on others' channels & vids just because I have 'many' views on my channel! LOL, that's ridiculous... I know YouTube is full of garbage but those kids SHOULD THINK before posting a comment trying to sound smart!

  • a lot of resonance and volume can actually be applied to falsetto, Jaime Vendera refers to it as reinforced falsetto which is what he's using to break the glass.

  • Hmmmmm, it seems like you know a LOT about voices/music! It's good to know there are intelligent persons on YouTube too! So, where did you find that book? :)

  • whats up with the sound he's making at the very end of his clip when he's playing the keyboard. it sound like he's making baby noises.

  • the noises he's making are "lip bubbles", its a common vocal warm up for breath control and diaphragm support.

  • lip-rolls

  • they are both referred to as lip rolls AND lip bubbles by different people. some people even call them lip trills, they're all correct.

  • the most frequently used terminology by vocal-coaches is lip rolls

  • lol, and? I call them lip bubbles. It doesn't matter which one you use. Even Jaime Vendera calls them lip bubbles, and he's a vocal coach. I have his book, it's actually listed in there as "Lip Bubbles". So if you like calling them lip rolls, then cool =P

  • Terminology does matter...

    Standardization is good.

    Take a look at Eric Arceneaux and Brett Manning... Seth Riggs... Dave Stroud...

  • Exactly! Terminology doesn't matter. That's the point I've been trying to get across this whole time. We both call it different things, and it doesn't matter, lol =P I was under the impression that you were trying to tell me there's only one way and every other term was somehow wrong XD All I was saying was that it didn't matter which term u used. It's still understood to mean the same thing

  • oh and I'm fully aware of Speech Level Singing and Singing Success, been watching their stuff for years, even when Eric was still doing his own thing. And Brett Manning is awesome.

  • Mhm he is awsome... getting vocal lessons from Emil Svensson atm... he's Seth Riggs trained :P

    Good for me ^^

  • oh wow, I totally read your other comment wrong, I thought you said "doesn't matter", whoops. lol. So my response would instead be "Well in my opinion, it doesn't matter in the case of lip bubbles, because they have multiple names that are still understood by others, but when something is only known by 1 name, terminology would most certainly matter."

  • I wanted to intentionally drop the debate :P

    As to why terminology matters, that's what the feminists have been trying to prove, I believe they did =)

  • I know conservatory teachers that call them lip trills. I think it's just a matter of where you had training.

  • bleh conservatory teachers :S... SLS all the way baby...

  • awesome!:d but lol at 0:19

  • what about matt bellamy...?

  • MUSEMUSEMUSEMUSEMUSEMUSE <33

  • Wow! That was awesome!

  • I hate American news reporters (or what the melon they're called). Ugh.

  • oh that was on mythbusters :D

  • If I wanted to sing ill sing !

    If I wanted to break glass, Id break it with my hands. Doing this is pointless!

  • i bet bruce dickenson could do that too

  • Who knows. But it's not just about being a good singer, you really have to know where you are which correct technique for the INTENSE volum, as well as ABSOLUTE pitch to hit the exact resonation spot. If you're just a bit off, and not loud enough, you're not gonna make it.

  • I'm gonna try to break a glass with my voice, and i'll record it, check out one of my videos where i was fooling around with my voice

  • It can only be done if your voice is amplified. Lets get this straight if your going to report it.

  • Matt Bellamy can go higher.

  • the point of the video was to show that its true u can break glass with your voice, it wasn't to show who can go the highest, if you wanna see someone who sings high write Adam Lopez and i can guarantee you that he sings way higher than your Matt Bellamy

  • dude i was replying to some other guys comment.

    and Adam Lopez IS FUCKING EPIC!

  • Charles Kellogg had the widest vocal range ever (12 1/2 octaves) & Georgia Brown (8 octaves - G2/G10) & Nicola Sedda (8 1/2 octaves).

  • 12 1/2 octaves? Where did you get that from? I would say that's pretty much impossible, I mean, those would have to be notes pretty much unhearable to the human ear...And I don't think any humans can do that, "only" 6 octaves is hugely impressive in itself.

  • 6 octaves is nothing! For example, one can have a 6 octaves vocal range for real voice (chest + belt). Even for head/mix & falsetto...

    And yeah, Charles Kellogg had a 12 1/2 octaves vocal range, it's the truth.

    There are vids on YouTube of his bird calls...

  • You obviously don't have a clue about what an octave is. 6 octaves is an insanely wide range, and is already way more than you're ever going to use in a song. I think 12 1/2 is impossible.

  • Oh, calm down! LOL! Of course I know what an octave is since I'm a singer & I have studied voices & music in general!

    And of course it's true! He had 12 1/2 octaves! Do some research before posting a comment! :))

  • An octave consists of eight notes. The average person has 2 - 2.5. Having 3 is considered above average. Having 3.5-4 octaves is exceptional. Being able to produce five and six is rarer. But um, no... It is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to sing 96 different notes. That's MORE THAN A PIANO has. If you tell that to a professional voice teacher they'd laugh and correct you.

  • Everyone would have at least a 4 octaves singing range if they'd know how to use all their vocal registers/types of voices (chest voice, mixed voice, head voice, falsetto). If they'd also know how to whistle, they would get much higher. Charles Kellogg had a different type of larynx, very similar to the larynx of a bird, that's why he could sing so high, and had a 12,5 octaves vocal range. You shouldn't underestimate the human voice, just because you can't or don't know how to reach those notes.

  • Darling, I'm NOT arguing with you. Listen: NO HUMAN BEING IS CAPABLE OF REACHING 12 TRUE OCTAVES IN SINGING, LET ALONE 9/10/11... Charles Kellogg CLAIMED (fibbed). NO PROOF. NONE. That's not very meaty information. If true, this would be rather legendary (and WELL KNOWN) in the vocal community. It's baloney.

    And vocal range IS flexible to a point, but not the way you speak of. Sorry, but "Everyone" can't have 4 octaves if they "try"... that's ridiculous. It's mostly genes.

  • OMG, you clearly don't know what you are talking about, or you just don't want to accept the reality. I'm not saying it's possible to reach notes above D7 in singing. It is possible to reach higher notes in whistle register, or by using the throat in other different ways.

    By the way, he did prove it. He made some kind of vocal ''experiment'' in front of thousands of people. I read about it on a site.

  • just to assure your statement, it is possible to sing higher than d7 (the world record held by adam lopez(C#8) and by Georgia Brown(G10)!!!, I'm pretty sure even Mariah Carey can go higher... Although Charles Kellogg indeed does have the unofficial record of 12.5 octaves).

  • They don't sing, they WHISTLE! Whistle register does not count as a part of the singing range. As a singer, I can assure you that it's not possible to sing higher than D7. There were only a few real Coloratura Sopranos, who could sing and sustain D7, such as Ellen Beach Yaw, Yma Sumac, and Mado Robin. Anyways, if one whistles, they can go much, much higher, but whistled notes have a very sharp sound, and they lack power.

  • Highest recorded whistle notes are A9 (Nicola Sedda), E8 (Georgia Brown), and C#8 (Adam Lopez). Georgia Brown hit G10, but it was never recorded because it's beyond human hearing. They actually determined it by measuring the frequency.

  • georgia brown is omega level whistle singer.

  • Yeah, that's true! Georgia Brown's whistles are just perfect! She doesn't only hit the notes, she also sustains them! :)

  • @bisexualbuffthug

    best in the world......yea. but she cant break glass.Thats 10 times, or wait. 50 times too high !!!!!

  • well the Guiness book of records dont accept it why?

  • Charles Kellogg died like one century ago!

  • i have C2 to C6.....is that uncommon?

  • That's four octaves (not eight, seventeen or seven hundred and thirty three as some people would try and convince you)... four isn't uncommon, but it's considered exceptional. Four is a big range. Yma Sumac had 5. Nina Hagen had 4 when she was in her prime. Diamanda Galas and Freddy Mercury had 3.5. Really, anything over 3 octaves is considered exceptional. But it's more about having a good voice than octaves. People get stuck on it, even if the singer sucks.

  • agreed

  • the point is that you can break a type of glass through reaching a specific frequency,where there is peak movement of specific points of glass(i don't know the exact physics term in English..)

  • I was just replying to another comment!

    that one where it says 'this guy has nothing on bruce dickinson'

    so i told him that matt bellamy can go higher than Bruce dickinson.

  • Ok,man sorry.Utube is messed up with comments sometimes.

  • Its cool (Y)

  • The funny thing is, all that guy did was slide up to the top of his chest voice get really loud and then crack into a high note.

    Most 15 year old boys can do something like that. Maybe this guy's balls never dropped, haha. The really funny thing is people are retarded enough to pay 300 dollars an hour for a lesson from this guy. The trick is you weaken the glass by rubbing it, possibly put a very small crack in it, then you too can say, "I bweak gwass wid my voyce, derrrrr, I Rawkstahhh."

  • Your voice didnt drop until you were 15?

  • I never said that. I dunno when the fuck my voice dropped. It was before fifteen though.

    My 15 year old brother is 6'1 215 lbs, he can make his voice crack like that and his voice is fairly developed. I assume that most young undeveloped voices have a easy time crackin.

    This fucker is like 40 and he cracks and sqwaks like someone going through puberty.

    In other words, he sucks.

  • If that means anything at all it probably means that he doesnt suck.

  • Its not that hard to do with a good ear and a good voice...

  • Record on "Myth Busters"! ^^

    Yeah, yeah, go Vendera!

  • wow.. there were way too many faggy puns in the introduction to this article

  • hahaha yea fuck news reporters they are fucking annoying.

  • this guy's a dork

  • cool stuff....but this fuck has NOTHING on bruce dickinson,king diamond,rob halford and geoff tate =D \M/

  • lol why inst this guy doing powert metal

  • Girl at a bar: So what do you do for a living?

    Jaime Vendera: I break glass with my voice.
