[zyruemusic]

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION and CORRECT TECHNIQUE!!!

[joshane143]

1:57 - 2:06 hears like a fail.

[KellyOnIce]

@joshane143 he said that that was the bad example.

[Mowery66]

I think ill look foe advice from someone who can speak better english haha  lame

[pedcie]

you sound either malaysian/singapore =]

[beamercrew]

you are a joke.

[ooeeooaaaa]

problems: 1 you should never sing from your chest, you should always direct the air as far down as you can and push with your abdominal muscles and this applies to playing any wind or brass instrument

2 never force your voice up like that or it will make your voice croaky so when your 64 you will sound like the guy from gran turino and thats not good trust me

[dcdude171]

@ooeeooaaaa clint eastwood doesnt normally sing thats why he sounded like that a gran torino regardless this guy is wrong

[zepres]

Good lesson! Thanks!

[EdmondoTenore]

You talk a load of nonsense!

[punkrockedlastnight]

lol...

[roejogan8]

hahahahahahahh

[ideiao]

Go learn it,if you are a good student,

you will be able to come back in 5 years,

than you could think about teach.

Bon voyage.

[Wendiesel]

Wrong

Headvoice is not falsetto.

Learn speech level singing then post a video proclaiming what it right and wrong.

Best of luck.

[SnakeGartman]

Head voice is the equivalent of falsetto. The only difference is that head voice is what it's called when a woman does it, it's falsetto if a man does it.

[Apollogranforte]

Seriously people, surely no one expects to learn singing by correspondence!

Go and see a reputable singing teacher in your city!

[MichiamavanoErnesto]

Ma si può sapere chi CAZZO ti fa parlare?

[runswithcoyote17]

im 15 and i cant hit falsetto notes like the one in "apologize" by one republic when they say "its too late". my voice usually cracks and i cant get to them. any advice?

[evanescence345]

omg me 2!! i cant do it

[runswithcoyote17]

how old are you?

[wholeagain2]

your negative example was better than your positive example ...lol

[DeepeeMe]

No way..

[plug145]

lmao xD

[RocktheStageNYC]

wow his vocal demonstrations to the scales are all flat in pitch and not fully supported. No wonder he never uploaded more than 2 videos.

[cservonyec]

At 2:41 when the tab comes in, I can't even hit the first note falsetto or no falsetto and I am always told I have a high voice. So how to get to that first note?

[bbbguy1230123]

Falsetto and Head Voice are not the same thing...

[theurbaneffect]

I tend to disagree

[TrilliousDivine]

you have very audible tongue tension that you sing with

[emscott32]

Omg my high notes are not coming out I can't do it without struggling my throat.

[aicelaber]

Great job dude, you must be breathing fresh and clean air free of chemtrails...

to those A-holes jazzyak and dumbassforlyfe, get the fuck out of here, keep your negative comments to your self mofos

[rockerforlyf]

if you can demonstrate your vocal range through a song I will believe you. but as i can see you don't know what you're talking about.

walk, or should i say, --sing-- the talk

[JazzyAK]

another clown who doesn't know what he's talking about, giving bad advise to unsuspecting people.

[highoffyou]

I agree.

[GeorgiosMICHALAKIS]

Excellent!

VERY educational: LIMPID (crystal clear), 'to the point"explanations.

Thank you.

[DXTMC]

Great

[mattehv]

damn youve got a nice set of lungs man. you can really hold a note! that was like 8 bars at 80 bmp

[nasratfatty]

Thanks for the vid. where are the other parts?

[JuanitaBanana1934]

Good explanation..make more video instructions please.

[ruseangirl]

i know!! it actually made me laugh out loud! :)

then he did kermit the frog! listen to 211 to 2:20 and imagine kermit with his skinny arms stretched out singing!

[SomethingWicked98]

guys all falsetto is is the two vocal chords (or folds which they actually are) are the farthest apart from eachother that they can be, so only the very edges of the two vocal cords vibrate against eachother

[catschna]

A question! Bee Gees sings with "falsett" or with

"head voice"?? Thank you for who can answer me!

[silvaraziel]

Yep, they are using their "head voice"

[JazzyAK]

falsetto, head voice is/are those notes in your normal range that resonate mostly or solely in the head or mask and very little or no resonace in the chest

[BARRUMUNDII]

yes. head voice is normal range with head resonance. falsetto is above normal range.

[bajacharlie]

Hi, i need help guys.

I just foundout yesterday that i could reach an A#. The thing is..i can only reach it with few songs. like i can easly sing Smells like teen spirit ( i checked it with a guitar and it was perfectly tunned )but cant even hit a G on some others....its real weird and annoying, ii wish i could sing anysong..any suggestions?

[call4sorrow]

kinda sounds like little miss piggy from sesame street.

[FrancoBen37]

one word; Terrible.

[xxStrife]

actually guys , there ARE some people who would like this kind of tip , some people actually prefer using falsetto , through the whole song , i dont know why , ask them not me . but i myself prefer a nice chest , mix , to head voice blend in singing

[vitunperseenperkele]

hmm.. a guy who hardly can keep his own pitch, and knows nothing about technique is giving singing lessons via internet..? not so cool. People, if you want to learn how to sing with the right technique, go to real singing lessons with a proper teacher. (this goes to this dude in the clip too.)

i have spoken, ugh..

[flaze3]

lol, I know.... falsetto is not head voice for a start! He's just disconnecting with an open throat. Not good technique!

[SpellTube]

I don't think this actually helps

[Miguelito203]

I know hardly nothing about vocal stuff outside of the stuff here on youtube and the stuff I have heard, and even I know there are three voices: head, chest, and middle.

[flaze3]

yeah, but you shouldn't confuse falsetto with head voice--they're different!

[aboxguitar]

Anthony Frisell a well known vocal teacher doesnt discern enough difference between head voice and falsetto to warrant its own register. To him, there are only two registers, and after hearing what he does with his students, I cant disagree. He gets results far beyond anyone else ive ever seen. And I come from the crowd of three voices.. chest, head and falsetto, with vocal fry and whistle just being registers but not really "voices".

[flaze3]

then i think he has a different understanding of what 'falsetto' is. It normally refers to a disconnection of the cords: ie. not good!

[m8cct]

hmmm, I can never get a good definition on the difference between the registers, especially the difference between head voice and falsetto.

[flaze3]

that's probably because no one is 100% sure what's going on when you change register :p

[ERMESMERCURY87]

do you speak italian? ma vafancul

[TheStrangestSara]

He's just singing out of his nose. A very ugly sound.

[virr23]

NONSENSE! I'm a classical singer and i know about voice. DO NOT trust this guy! His exercises won't help! That so called 'POSITIVE' example he made was sang entirely by a falsetto, pls notice that. If you ask him to sing lower than the 1st note using that voice he'll have a 'click' and immediately change to normal voice. It's a complete lie! One exercise to extend range is to sing closed vowels like 'wu' or 'o' upwards to kinda 'trick' the voice to flip through the passagio or 'bridge'.

[7mgtesr20det]

well said !

[aceskit]

i totally agreed

[socalguy2186]

@virr23 this guys an idiot.

[Singingjustforfun]

when's the second part?

[m8cct]

head voice and falsetto are not the same thing dude, chest voice and head voice are both part of the lower register and falsetto is the upper register.

[punatni]

this guy needs training himself

[flaze3]

That's still wrong... head voice deals with the upper register (from about b below middle c all the way up to top c) falsetto is just a disconnection, and uses the false chords to phonate instead.

[KHaozRage]

my falsetto kinda hurts when i try to get past freddy mercury's voice at the second verse of we are the champions

[riffdude1]

What he is doing around 1:24 is something I cant do anymore, which I think is kinda sad. Can anybody help me :S

[RushAndRuleIt]

I had that happen, too. Just keep trying and you'll probably get it back. If not, it's no big deal; falsetto sounds kind of goofy anyway. XD

[kletan]

thanks for your clarification. btw, i think falsetto can sound really nice if it's used stylistically, and mostly in pop singing. contrary to what many are saying, i believe falsetto can be very strong if used correctly.

[kletan]

you mean to say you can't get falsetto? try sirening. that should help you get into that range as you flip upscale.

[kletan]

hi. can i point out a few things?

perhaps you can explain what you mean by resonance, power, sting and bite (particular the last two).

i feel you have not effectively taught how to negotiate the switch between the regular voice and falsetto. in your "positive" examples, you have avoided the switch altogether. in fact, in your descending C scale, you sang it all in falsetto. try going lower and i'm sure you'll hit the switch. there are some exercises that can erase the switch, but not these.

[RushAndRuleIt]

Resonance and power probably mean that the sound is richer due to the larger number of harmonic frequencies produced by the voice. I didn't get sting and bite either.

[oldman1zzz]

i can only use my head voice if i inhale. can anyone help me fix this?

[Pinkycc94]

Breathe from your diaphram. This is very important. Do a lot of vocal excercises for your lower range. If this doesn't work, get back to me. It may take some time. :]

[oldman1zzz]

thanks for the tips! i doubt i'll ever become a good singer because my range is terrible. but at least i'll try... cheers!

[oozt]

he is kooooooool

[HUIYINGx]

Will doing this hurt your vocal?

i hope not.

I have been belting out notes everyday and i'm scared i would hurt my voice.

[gapband1983]

it look hot in that fuckin' room!

[andy35711]

Thanks.

[forgottentenor]

Very good! My wife is my vocal coach. I posted a video response for you.

Lil' Robert

[Tosycyzkiewicy]

Very comprehensible accent

[passionkev01]

nice explain

[Jireh1230]

GRacias, muy provechoso, sube mas porfavor

thanks, very fruitfull, please post more

[holdher1]

wow this is hilariously terrible and embarrassing. That does not teach anyone anything. You need vocal lessons.

[CloudTalking]

find this really useful. thanks.

I dont know why but I seem to have 3 voices - deep to middle - middle - high, and then just another even higher one.

[tricky778]

I think there are lots of registers. I can sing in my speaking chest voice up to about D4 and down to about G2 then I can sing in a speaking head voice (what I use when trying to talk while laughing) from about B4 to A#5 (but it gets very reedy up there. I can alternatively sing (v. badly) in an operatic chest voice from about B3 to A#4 - then I have a metallic rattle register down below B3. I can also sing in a countertenor falsetto up well past C5 or a breathy one up to A#6.

[Got2BeDowne69]

i know someone who sings in full chest voice all the time belting out high notes and that's the asia's songbird Ms.Regine Velasquez! just type "regine high notes"

[Dglsell]

Sorry but that's not all chest voice. She blends her chest voice with her head voice well and it seems like all chest. Belting out your voice doesn't mean its all chest. The pressure can come from there but the chamber the sound is coming from is not what makes all the notes she is singing. She does have a great voice though.

[JoeSidhu]

Someone explain this to me.

How did Chris Cornell do it before 1996? His voice was insane on Badmotorfinger.

[guitarobsessed85]

Chris Cornell stretched his vocal chords and strengthened the muscles surrounding. The style he used requires that

[TeslaMaster2]

lol, even I (as a totally untrained singer) know there's a chest voice, head voice and falsetto... And I can use all three to sing.

[magicfreak123]

You can't blend Chest voice with Falsetto. You must blend Chest voice with head voice, producing a more "mixed" voice, which is what you normally hear professional pop singers sing in. You will normally find a bridge, that most people feel the need for that to be called a bridge. You can get Brett Manning's singing success program. That teaches you about the anatomy of the voice. So, in essence you can blend Chest with head and head with falsetto but not chest with falsetto.

Hope I helped Thanks

[Gille2416]

ok.. first, a little anatomy lesson: falsetto is a position of the vocal fold in witch only a small portion of its surface touch so it produces only a very weak and poor sound. A serious singer usualy avoid it. Head voice can be reached in proper vocal folds position, this is where aquiring technique is important. Good singing technique is all about letting your throat free of any tension. connecting your falsetto with the chest register is dangeourous for vocal folds. Get a good teacher

[MBen89]

well....Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Adam Lopez, Whitney Houston, and Georgia Brown kinda use it. I've always wondered why some singers doesn't like using it?? like yeah, we all want power in songs but a bit of falsetto wouldn't hurt.

[jrzy12]

many of these people now have vocal health issues.

[Drich18]

Those people sing in Whistle register. Its a difference. Falsetto is one level lower than Whistle Register. Whistle Register being the highest register you can reach

[MBen89]

no they don't sing in whistle register all the time, just a few parts, and Celine Dion can't even hit the whistle register. besides, you said it yourself, falsetto is lower than whistle register, which means if they can sing in whistle register, they can definitely sing in falsetto

[Drich18]

I'm saying Adam Lopez, Mariah Carey, Georgia Brown commonly sing in the whistle register. And Whitney Houston , and Celine Dion are capably of signing in the falsetto register, and they do it every so often. I'm saying theirs a difference. People get the misconception that Falsetto, and Whistle Register are the same thing. Even thou their both disconnect they are not on the same level.

[MBen89]

ohh, you should have said that from he beginning

[johnlovestosing04]

I realize that it is easier to be critical, especially when we have had a little training, but please realize that there are endless schools of thought about such topics and what may work for some may not work for all. I am a serious singer with a developed falsetto, as well as many other legends in gospel,jazz, pop, and r&b, country, etc... He used the terms falsetto and head tone interchageably which may have caused confusion,nevertheless...

[johnlovestosing04]

the best singers, whether classical or popular, learn to develop a "blended register" which allows smooth transition from chest to head tone.

[RounderJere]

You are hilarious!!! Don't learn to sing from this guy. He has it all wrong. Doesn't know how to connect his voice.

[pungadoo]

are the falseto and the head voice the same

[liauce]

Yes. In my training videos they refer to the same thing. However, other singers or teachers may beg to differ. Note: vocal placement and register must not be confused. Sometimes the term "head voice" is useful in helping a singer identify a head resonance or head tone in singing notes in the middle or lower register.

[25712]

Hi, liauce i need some of your expert advice! I have just starting singing and have been told that i have a deep range. However I am finding it difficult to mix my head and chest voice. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make the process alittle easier?

[johnlovestosing04]

falsetto is literally a "false" type voice that is typically and technically only produced by males, but some women have been know to phonate (produce sound) in this manner. In my teaching and understanding, head tone and falsetto are not the same because I can literally go from normal chest register to my head tone which is light and lyric but still resonant. My falsetto is a separte animal. I can sing low notes using falsetto and extremely high notes. They are not the same.

[shanisah57]

that was really helpful liauce. can you help me with vibrato? how do you produce it?

[funnygirl521297]

that was really help full!
