[SuperDreamers23]

hello., i would just ask if weightlifting can affect your voice?

[9803783307]

I am a rock singer and I really can't reach higher notes, my breathing stops when i sing higher note, I can sing like for 6 sec higher pinch and it jst stop I can't go on .. can you please give me some tips to improve my singing .. help me.....

[Stonehelm66]

@9803783307 they have other videos that help with reaching higher notes. oh and something i learned about getting to higher notes is to sing quiet when going high then adding power to it eventually. modulating basically

[1971SuperLead]

Not smoking includes pot.

[jerichasmith]

what was the tea that he said?

[GetInThaKitchen]

Guys I'm having a little trouble understanding something he says lol.

At about 2:32 does he say "which I couldnt get to" or "Which I could get to".

Because it sounds like it could be either to me!

[jerichasmith]

@GetInThaKitchen he says which i could get to

[GetInThaKitchen]

@jerichasmith Ah ok thanks! And its Calli tea he's talking about.

[jerichasmith]

@GetInThaKitchen ahh thanks

[termizar]

hi brett, I'm having a lot of trouble singing songs that are constantly in between my chest and head voice? I dont know if i'm getting into my mix. Either way, i'm either starting to feel a strain in my throat when I sing the higher notes or if I try to use the mix voice theres a huge disconnection between the higher notes and lower notes. What should I do? I've been singing the songs using "brrrr" exercises too

[ljkhdflkjhdflkjd]

ok everybody needs to read the subtitles that you can put on videos, this ones fucking hilarious

[PoirePerry]

Love these videos

2:43 best stoned look ever

[nunesinformatica]

He said Calli Tea. It´s a mix of herbs.

[followingtheomens]

thanks for the tips

[LittleReiOfSunshine]

[Fenderchick06]

[rockaugust]

[HeForeverLives]

[toadsnmarshmellows]

[lostchaos09]

Shut up tenniscoach23 u faggot this dude is he most profound voal coach the world over!!! go home and play tennis looser!

[juglabonza123]

@TennisCoach23 Well, if you fully understood what he was actually implying (which clearly you didn't) then i suggest you shut the fuck up

AS he clarified, "organic dirty tone" is understood for his singing type as for rock genre "which does have a poor diet" so for them it is a normal routine diet for rock singers (as brett himself) so obviously theres nothing wrong, nor incorrect in what he said so shut up, go home and play tennis faggot.

[TennisCoach23]

@juglabonza123 - relax Jungle bunny... I'm right and you're clearly wrong. This guy is terrible and so are you! Now leave me alone

[ramrodd]

@TennisCoach23 Your an idiot. clearly. racism and insulting someone by saying he is terrible. even though he has trained some of the best singers in the world. its obvious you were born without the part of your brain that controls reasonable judgment and understanding. and replaced with the part that controls jealousy and envy. go stick your head in an oven and cook off that lump on top of your neck you call a brain. ignorant fuck. and i bet you suck at tennis. faggot

[TennisCoach23]

@ramrodd You are one stupid broad. I quit readin what ya wrote after the whole "he has trained some of the best singers in the world" comment. hahaha -- who??? Taylor Swift??? Go read a book girly, and learn how to not hate so much. God bless ya child.

ps- ramrodd is such a terrible sn for a girl

[ramrodd]

@TennisCoach23 and yet here you are, online hating on successful people. girly broad. im a 29 yr old man that chances are would stomp a hole in your ass. you keep running your mouth on pages, keep being the world hating, flame spitting faggot that you are, and ill continue to live my life to the fullest. having sex with beautiful women and buying whatever i want. you sir, lose this one.

[leginewol]

Thanks Brett,we knew we had got it right!

We carry 2 spitoons with our P.A and fill em in an hour!

Come see our band.

Phil Phlegm And His Mucus Four ;0)

Seriously though,this is great advice

Thankyou!

[CKY4KK]

I heard that drinking milk before you sing is not good also.

[TheBratcat1]

i agree.

[blueguitar77]

so that why i sing better when im sick??

i prefer my voice when im sick cuz it has a little bit more of texture

but if i want to sing like that all the time.....do i have to be sick all the time or what??

what could i do if i want to have my voice in that way?

thanx and please keep posting more and more vids, they are so useful

[juanqarlos94]

what did he said he used to clean up his throath?

[pstlwhppd]

yeah i couldn't catch that either. kali tea or something?

[AceOfHeart2012]

The Beatles all smoked but they were space aliens so they don't count. Smoking is very bad for you. I used to smoke 3 packs a day of Marlboro and I am much clearer now since quitting in Y2K.

[TheBratcat1]

@AceOfHeart2012

good for you!

[Iwrestledahippoonce]

nahh i ate eggs this morning and tried to sing and it was just horrible haha

[apoct]

Tea has caffeine in it. You mean herbal tea. Completely different. I should know, I drink 4 or 5 cups of tea a day :P

[Se7enChic]

OMG wow after hearing this, i def have to quit smoking and be more careful what i eat. Going to quit smoking after my pack right here lol. I just ordered brett manning singing success package, and i can't wait to get it, what he is saying is right, cause me being a smoker, when i sing i have to clear my throat all the time, I really want to be a singer so i am very devoted on listening what brett has to say! thanks brett you are the best and you seem to care about people that love music!

[iSKATE4PiE69]

Man I eat spicy stuff all the time.

CRAP! Hahha ;D

Thanks for all your advice :)

[evilbritta]

perhaps your into the kurt cobain kind of singing ;)

[nadua1]

what foods should i stay away from that produce more mucous build up???

[Edelien]

Dairy.

[nadua1]

thanx. do you know what would be helpful for too much aif flow in the voice.

[camerond73]

Title for your book:

"Singing Your Way To Better Health"

I like your title too.

Can't wait to read it.

[heavyatheart]

where can I buy the tea Brett mentioned ?

[xOMGxProductionsx]

idk, but I wanna know too. he said at your local health food stores...

[Zavedi234]

I don't know, but I red that the thing is to not drink ice water. Only hot water with lemon (or honey? not sure of this one) or hot drinks like tea (but evitate cafeine like coffee) will help your voice. Ice water would be like putting your vocal cord in the refrigerator instantly, it's refreshing, but it kills your voice you're better with warm or hot water, it makes the job. Sorry for my english by the way..

[heavyatheart]

Thank a lot for the tips. I have heard that inhaling steam also helps.

[zamstein500]

Hello Manning crew .. thanks for all of your vocal love and guidance! I hope this question wasn't already answered, but would it be possible for someone to talk about the warm-down and its importance and techniques? I sometimes massage my jaw and just roll my head around a bit and massage my neck. Is there a technically correct answer to my question? I'd love to know~ thank you xo

[hbunnyo]

Damn I get acid reflux but there isn't anything I can do about it. Went to the doctors and everything and no help there. Also I don't every seem to be rid of a decent amount of mucus in my throat. Is this a bad recipe for singing? Haha.

[flaze3]

try eating less.

[hbunnyo]

...that's not gonna happen haha. Nahh I got some neat little pills now from the doctor that reduces the amount of stomach acid I produce annnnnd if you saw me you wouldn't tell me to eat less.

[flaze3]

ok, well that should do the trick!

[hbunnyo]

Mhm =]. Thank you for the advice though =].

[flaze3]

no problem :)

[ChadWellTheMan]

how is that going for u cuz i have the same problem and i can tell it has effected my voice and since i started taking the pills i feel i sound better

[hbunnyo]

Em better yeah, definitely, and I've noticed, because I've ran out I need to get more, that it irritates my throat now when I sing and before it didn't. It sounded quite a bit better aswell. Although I've still got all that flem to fight through it is a pain in the ass.

[deucejiggy]

I don't think that what you eat directly affects your voice, i think it may secondarily affect it.

Food,liquids, never touch your vocal cords. it goes down your esophagus, not your wind pipe to your trachea, if it did you would choke and die.

I think the single most important thing to worry about, is to keep hydrated, because that will directly affect how dry or moist your vocal chords become.

[Karateckie]

Mainly...if what you're eating produces mucous in your body...that mucous will end up in your vocal chords.

[WhereYouWannaBe]

I want that book:)

[mellowmonster17]

I Couldn't Catch That. 'Cali' Tea? 'Calid' tea? What Kind Of Tea Is He Talking About?

[poopyscoopy5]

possibly with a "k"?

[pinkblushsassy]

Is peanutbutter bad for the voice? just wondering!

[SJmusicjunkie]

Yep! So is chocolate.

[FunkyGerl02]

chocs are bad for th voice?gosh.i betta stop eating them.haha.

[JonasLoverJoeJonas]

GOOD!

[cLemsLayer]

i'm gonna follow this. i want to regain my headvoice back coz my voice has cracked lately(due to puberty perhaps).

[haydenlover4ever]

When my voice has a really bad day, usually tea can help SOOTHE it, also inhaling steam might make a minor difference. My voice is so fragile, if I like sip coke my voice sounds like crap lol! Thanks for the tip Brett!

[Chiefontheditty]

Only if the tea doesn't have caffeine. =]

[questforcam1013]

ya me too....bread kills my voice or anything with wheat or dairy

[bronx43]

I don't know about everyone else, but eggs give me mucous like no other.

[FreeFallin1976]

Brett, you sing great whenever :D Smart tips though for sure.

[CaptMoo]

Love this tip. Just like drinks right? Soda, Milk, and cold drinks.

[typefrancis]

Many great singers overlook the importance of the healthy diet. I myself used to eat extremely unhealthy and had horrible acid reflex problems. Luckily, I changed my diet and you can see a significant rapid improvement in my technique. Most of all consistency is what I'm striving for.
