How to sing high if you're a guy

[TheVengador60]

I think you did not write it coorrectly it should be "how to sing if you are gay"....

[ZachRobeson]

R.I.P people with headphones. :/

[mrbigmouth1000]

I KNOW HOW TO GET HIGH WITH OTHER GUYS

[tjizzle12386]

was this video supposed to show me how to sing high notes or sing high like singing after smoking meth?

[NorthernLime]

Omg its freddie mercurys son

[jfichter69]

if you wanna hear guys singing high, listen to Michael Maniaci, a true counter tenor... this is just silly if you ask me....

[TheCite]

Was that Miserere? Sounded good.

[Whatsupmak]

If u are teaching people to sing you should no how to as well u can't sing I am sorry

[Tiwaking]

Sing "Heart of glass"!!!

[direfranchement]

Just because one CAN sing high, it doesn't mean one SHOULD sing high. It looks and sounds painful.

[MyMusicalProject]

It might sound good in the right context, but singing classical sounds stupid. -.-

[RinaldsH]

:D:D :D :D :D idi0t

[eddiesamuel1]

No that's head voice. It's very resonant. I use it alot. Check out my videos!

[cpjc08]

might be a bit of a squeak but that is NOT how to sing falsetto - you were straining man. no no no no no no no

[KissFan1997]

if you wants to sing high but with power then? U know like rocksingers? :o

Do you know how to do that to?

[PhilipOMeara]

I've recognised that I haven't actually explained HOW it's done - this I will in a new video!!

[mtenor]

strong falsetto though :-)

[mtenor]

sorry this isnt the way to sing high. Its how to sing in falsetto . Learn how to sing in the head voice which will mean you can sing just as high but will match the rest of your voice

[EnchantixEnergy]

I have like same range as him but I can never reach the complete top notes he just demonstrated >.<

[webboffin]

Attaching the crocodile clips of a set of jump leads to my testicles is useful to create high pitched sounds that only dogs can hear.

[akakou456]

That was singin in head voice and i want to hit a f#5 wit full voice-.-"

[CharlieDraper]

A beautiful voice... but what a sacrifice.

[Tenortb]

Falsetto is hard to grasp, the only way to really understand it is to try. I learned how in the shower. If you watch a video of the actual vocal cords its easier to understand how to use it. Just search vocal chords into the search box.

[jameseatsghosts]

@17darkbeat, you his puberty, that's the problem. You're still going through it and expecting your voice to be the same.

[jonny1killa]

His neighbors must be pissed.

[movieman7000]

you sound like a castrato

[TehScreamer]

sounds like he got kicked in the balls and then tryed taking a shit

[Rizzy0104]

Horrible Vibrato! He wasn't even teaching anything, he was just showing off his girl-like voice!

[SCGumpster]

Terrible vibrato going on here.

[TheGuitarMan0imgonna]

SING IN THE JUNGLE

[Karrising1]

tiny tim??

[sixella123hottstuff]

ew.



[suicideris]

It was joke?

[17darkbeat]

The reason why I'm here is because when I was at the age of 9-12 I can use falsetto and now I'm 15 my voice has changed when I was 14 and it keeps on cracking every-time I try to falsetto. Please help me! I really love to sing, I just suck now :( Hopefully you could help!

[kpgpwi64]

and thus, the marz volta was born...

[EduWalkTv]

but i can rap-

[michaelthetaxidriver]

quality of voice is more important than range IMO...look at michael stipe from REM, he uses about an octave but he has a great sounding voice

[Ralphsmongler]

That's scary

[JIAOHH]

kicking yourself in the balls works too

[MultiSnotface]

@JIAOHH is that possible

[MultiSnotface]

Respond to this video...  thats crap, thats a girly crap screech, get some balls into it

[wormhole]

Myself, I can no longer sing the material I used to. From my teens until my late 30's I was a tenor, but my voice ended up changing twice. It's rare, but it does happen. Losing that upper range was a blessing in disguise. I've learned to stop chasing range and focus on tone quality.

[wormhole]

There are a number of techniques sure to better use top range if you have it to be begin with. Roger Love has a great book that explains how to make a seamless bridge between head and chest voice.

[jjuggaloparkour]

Here's a good hint, push a lot of air and hear the note come out. That's how we do it as brass players, and I've noticed the same works for me when I sing... Try it, it might work for you.

[PrezTyler]

at the end you're just pushing your voice going from tennor range to countertenntor range...youll wreck your voice bro

[whodwellswithin]

NO compression, no consistency, zero nasality, and interrupted airflow. You do know the BASICS man, but not enought to be TEACHING anything at all.

[LCknosJB21]

My natural voice is bass 2, but when I switch to falsetto, it loves to sing soprano...is that normal?

[Jouwl]

@LCknosJB21

Falsetto always spans the soprano range, regardless of your chest register.

[kadeemdexter]

SHOW OFF!!!

[ShynobieX]

when i use falsetto my voice just suddenly crack or like no sound like somethings stuck and i cant use my falsetto properly. i do feel something in my throat like somethings stuck because b4 that i can go falsetto

[aravis123]

im proud to be a baritone because i got to sing as a countertenor in the choir as an alto using my falsetto. they say its better if a bass or a baritone does the falsetto compared to a tenor.

[pkman250]

Squeeze your left nut and pinch your right nipple, you'll be able to do it. You'll go an octave higher than him.

[brightonboarder]

@pkman250 HAHAHAAHAH!!!! fuckin funny.

[24fan247]

the amount of strain you're using or those higher notes around 1:20 is in no way healthy. If you want to lose your vocal chords to nodes, do exactly what he did. When your neck shoots out and stresses like that, your just slamming your vocal chords together with one muscle and pushing air through with another. The whole conflict results in very messed up vocal chords.

[djentrobotdjent]

when i started the video at 0:03 i thought you were retarded but seriously great skills

[gangyangmz]

hahhaa sharp

[datruking8]

Good video. Nicely done!

[highnote32]

A D5 is high

[stebolian]

thats horrible, no guts, also no nuts either, try whistle, at least its connected properly

[mesoemo]

is it me or what but male can singer higher than many girls!

I'm jealous!

[SmexiiStevie]

ohmygod your accent. that's all i was hearing. HMMMNG

[nameght12]

i will never sing like that i can sing but that is just stupid

[RocktheStageNYC]

well.. this is absolute nonsense. What male would would want to sound like that in his high notes? No projection, no fullness, no qualities of male resonance.

Besides that, you are straining through most of it and lifting your larynx far too high for the top notes at C6 / C#6. The larynx should not be lifting in the whistle / flagiolet register.

Good range, but too much laryngeal lifting.

[Sardath13]

this is stupid. you do it or you don't do it, depending on your voice. a bass will never sing high, as much as he'd want it. straining you voice just to get high pitched will only damage your vocal chords

[aandre311]

he almost got to whisltle ur at the he got there note sure.. though he had too much troath tenssion, i dont think that was falssetto sound like head voice but a lil mixed not sure... still some voices falssetto and headvoice sound very alike

[TheBoomJay]

you didn't teach anything you just showed off

[MakavelisShadow]

judging by the stretching of the face and the protrusion of the neck muscle, and the strong tone and lack of vibrato, it would be very very wise to say it's falsetto. I mean, its obviously reinforced falsetto, which is a technique many, many singers use to reach those notes.. but if persisted.. he will not do that his whole life. So have fun arguing, people. Nice c6 by the way !!

[CharlieJulietEcho]

Your neighbors must think some chick is getting raped or something in there.

Key to singing if you're a guy: stay in the one to two octaves needed for rock. If you're choir, grow some nuts and join a band. If you're opera, like PRO opera not amateur, you shouldn't be reading this comment or watching this video in the first place.

[DudeSinger]

well what do you say to someone thats in a band and chior???

[CharlieJulietEcho]

@DudeSinger

"Stop being a fag"? Everyone has a band nowadays, and choir is a complete waste of time.

[juniwilliams]

@CharlieJulietEcho lol

[Rodents210]

That was regular falsetto and approaching the whistle register. It is not a head voice; head voice is like falsetto but with more support and less airy and it tends to be way lower than what you demonstrated. It's a component of the mix voice which pop singers use when they reach the upper limits of their chest voice.

All technicality aside you weren't exercising proper technique and what you were doing could damage your vocal cords awfully.

[BloodyGospel666]

super falsetto!

[russhurley]

you need to learn how to talk louder, wigga

[mradaChris]

I am watch a spectograph as you are singing. What you call falsetto in the beginning is head voice (multiple harmonics), the second is more like falsetto. Those very high notes are head voice at 1:20. Even the last ones were head voice.

[oo0o0opss]

u hit a c#6....thats still falsetto...!

[saksena]

this is not a how to...it is a show off segment. FAIL

[soeutenhoessemail]

pls shut up...mother fucker

[yuichituba]

Did you grow up in an Episcopal church? I sing alto at a couple in San Francisco and been learning about that tradition.

[Schollistico]

Beautiful the part from Allegri's "Miserere mei Deus". What an amazing composition!!

[Keirosuke]

I can do the higher version of the super head voice. I guess you'd call it a super-super head voice. Or whistle note xD

[flaze3]

That's how to sing high if you want to be a countertenor; NOT a mainstream male pop singer, or classical tenor :-p

[CheeseLoveer]

I can do this!

Feels good actually.

[tacojohn69]

... So how do you do it?

LOL, im a baritone, and I pretty much wish I was a tenor I'm trying to extend as much as i can... but not doing so well. What is your normal range... idk if im asking that correctly... what is the range in your chest/mid voice I guess would be correct?

[yuichituba]

You can hit those notes with falsetto rather than how tenors do it full-on chest voice. Most countertenors are actually baritones. You can learn how to do it, but when it comes down to it, you either have it or don't. Feel lucky you're a baritone, my friend :.)

[tacojohn69]

i understand that. I can sing falsetto fine, you can just tell its falsetto. Its very soft and classical'ish.

Is he using falsetto?

[yuichituba]

No, it's called head voice. It's a blend.

[thegodofpop1]

@tacojohn69 baritones can actually go higher than sopranos with falsetto. ive seen baritones that could belt a c6 with training.

[sofia4utube]

@tacojohn69 I know how to extend your range. Add me sjoefsiuas or facebook sofia soruco holzmann

[aandre311]

@tacojohn69 take a look at singing success videos.. web page a Cds program they HELP ALOT

[bluedagger46]

@tacojohn69 Im a bass going down to a pretty dark D lol... My head voice is from that D to two octaves over at a G.. Falsetto then goes up to F... I pretty much figured that would be enough for anyone who wants to sing so now I'm just trying to get it to sound better.. If you want tips on how to train PM me (:

[chojinkid]

@tacojohn69 I'm a baritone too and I know the feeling, I start to strain at a E4b and end up yelling at a F#4/G4 in chest voice, my head voice sucks also, too soft where my chest breaks, and too thin at around A4 and C5, completely unusable. The world is crawling with tenors and that's very frustrating for us

[tacojohn69]

@chojinkid unite!

lol

but for real it is extremely frustrating. I'm just trying my best

[chojinkid]

@tacojohn69 yeah I've been trying my best for years changing coaches right and left but yet my voice feels very heavy and can't go high, also the phoniatrist found the back side of my cords (where the higher notes are) a litle worn out cause they bump into each other before they actually confront, this is just for singing notes like E4 or F4

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid

You should not be yelling at F#4 or G4. You need to work more on your head voice range and start to bring it down with sirens (i.e. start by doing it quietly in your 'weak' head voice and just bring it down to chest, if your head voice develops you could go louder). Also, try making meow sounds with the head voice to get the placement right.

You should be singing in a difficult (to attain) but painless "mixed voice" (of head/chest). search this term on youtube.

[chojinkid]

@EidahageFeroe yeah that's what I'm working on, mixed voice, cause my chest voice tops around E4 effortless, after that it hurts, in head voice I can go up till a C5, my problem are notes like F4,F#4, G4 (the ones I use the most) I can hit them in head voice with no pain but they're still weak and empty, needless to say that I sound like a sissy, my A4 in head voice begins to be powerfull and full, same up to B4, but it still very "heavy metal" I wish it just sounded like my chest voice notes

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid Yeap I know the part of the voice you mean. You could probably get away with doing E and F in a chest voice, try practicing the notes in a real bell-like head voice first so you can hit them with your chest voice while 'lightening the load' with some of your head voice. Then as soon as you get to F# you'll have to go into mixed. Those bits sound weak in head voice because the chest voice has deactivated and gone into the lowest, weakest part of head.

[chojinkid]

@EidahageFeroe yeah I do that all the time, and I really like jessie nemitz's videos from singing success, but how exactly should I hit the range that goes from E4 to G4 in the long term? chest or mixed? cause even when I try in mixed voice they just sound sissy and weak as a result it's the lowest part of the head voice as you said correctly, but yet I'm confused about what register it takes for that range

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid I have found ways of belting up to chest in G4, but ONLY if it's once in the song (i.e. Empty Chairs at Empty Tables). If they sound sissy and weak then it's probably not the mixed, the mixed definately sounds like there is a chest voice being sung at a higher range (i.e. Freddie Mercury, Phil Collins and some of the Euro symph rock male singers or Sam Tsui - all different style). I'll usually sing up to F with more chest, and past there I go into mixed

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid As a rule, it should sound as if you have kind of 'stretched' (NOT painfully) into mixed (which means you've kept the chest) but it should feel a little like you've transitioned into head. It's quite comlex.

Also make sure that as you sing B4-E4, you're adding head ressonance. Best way to get this in those notes is by practicing songs and warming up by trying to bring your head voice as low as possible, which will be weak, but it's about lessening the work on the chest voice.

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid A Trick that Brett Manning uses for this problem is starting with a vocal fry at the bottom of your range (The death rattle sound from the grudge) and then zip up to an F, F# or wherever you want in the mixed. This fry forces the cords to remain in contact as they enter that "wispy" sound of the lower head voice. This was probably the way that got me there.

You sgould make sure you don't 'break' when you siren/trill. Keep doing those until there is no 'break' before anything else.

[EidahageFeroe]

@chojinkid Online teachers who explain things really well are: Dileesa Hunter, Brett Manning, Kevin Richards and Eric Arceneaux. Check their vids on mixed voice, they will describe exactly the problems you are having and how to deal with them.

[raistlinmajere100]

@tacojohn69 Well I'm a baritone and my "normal" range is F2-G4, I can hit A4, B4 and C5 too, but the C5 isn't that great. Falsetto wise I can reach up to a C#6 but my comfortable range is around G5-A5. I'm not sure I know how to use head voice correctly, but my A4s and up could be in it. Every other 4 octave note I do is either mixed or chest voice. All I did was start getting lessons from rockthestagenyc and practice.

[flaze3]

@tacojohn69 lol, so many baritones want to be tenors :D It's crazy really, but high notes are just more thrilling. That's what it is!

[chris96kalonji]

@tacojohn69 LOL me too. Did you know that the lead singer of Queen was originaly a baritone and, can/could hit I don't remeber how high but extremely high.

[Joshmv14]

@tacojohn69

Hey dude..

I'd reccomend you go to Jaime Vendera's site and purchase his E-Book,"Raise your voice"

My vocal range has extended from tennor to a suprano's range :D

[Seanbo88]

I still don't understand HOW to do it. This video just showed that HE could do it.

[delogu89]

ce l avevo anch io quella maglia !

[viomartyr]

i can't do that. i'll try again tomorrow in tighter jeans, that might help.

[bowenwen1992]

Nice C6. I can only do the G5, best an A6...

Just wondering, what is your low register?

[viperfishsasori]

Cool,but how can I do that?

[MaryannKlau]

Dude it's called being a counter tenor.Well done though. When did you get your balls removed? heh heh just kidding.

[aarontenor]

No. Sorry. That's how you sing high if your a weirdo.

[DanyelHawkes]

LUV it :P

[personstar21]

Nice, Nice Falsetto. :)

[jowox]

pretty good high soft falsetto.

[bglover11]

thats not singing, thats putting your throat in a place it's not supposed to go

[datruking8]

wow that's cool.

[jberrymusic]

how do you do that without hurting your throat?
