The advice she gives works. Those are things I have been told by 3 different voice teachers... one of which is very highly respected. However, too much of a good thing can be harmful. Singing should be no different than speaking. If you notice, when you speak your voice is totally at rest and you are relying on your breath naturally. Also, when you need to yell or for whatever reason higher your pitch when you speak, you naturally use your mechanism/breath correctly to do so!

@TheYoungTenor100 I have to respectfully disagree as would several of the coaches I've worked with. Gender should not be the first consideration for determining tessitura and vocal fach. See YouTube videos from Vivaldi's Women for outstanding examples of female tenor and bass voices. Again, I know several males whose natural tessitura is alto. Should they be forced to sing outside their best range simply because they're male?

Is this for boys or girls? Just curious......

Very informative and helpful tips, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. I look forwards to more of your videos, I just subscribed. I'm also thankful that you don't take the rude and disrespectful comments to heart, as the one I'm viewing above as I type, posted by "lowhigh000", I don't know why they even bother to post such. Anyway, just to say thank you for volunteering "free" helpful information.

@RepublicTX u obviously don't have a natural tenor voice because its a make voice

[RepublicTX]

I am a female - and have a natural tenor voice. I also know men whose natural range is high alto bordering on mezzo soprano. Gender shouldn't be a factor in classifying vocal range.
