Overtone singing tutorial

Here's a basic walk-through I put together explaining how to bring out the overtones. I ran by each step really quickly so if you have specific questions feel free to email me.

Some things that I left out.

-when making the "L" shape with your tongue, think of it as if you're pronouncing "ul" As you lift up the back it will naturally making an "ee" sound without you making it the "ee" shape with your lips.

- the BIG challenge is going to be to hold the pitch you're singing in tune while listening for the pitch of the overtones. Don't worry about that at first. You will want to work on getting the overtones to really ring, THEN you can work on sustaining the pitch that you're singing in tune.

I've been trying off and on since.....'93 or so?? assumed you had to have that rough "Mongolian-type" throaty tone to get a trill that produced the harmonic. would try it until it felt like my throat was bleeding. watched your video Tuesday (12/20/11) and yesterday (12/22/11) on the commute home a got a harmonic. Couldn't try it again for about 5 minutes due to the giggling. Got three pitches last night. Woo-hoo! thanks!!

@mustardmanzz Oh good! I'm really glad. Ya, you really have to be careful with your voice. Our vocal chords are extremely sensitive muscle. Although there's a proper way of doing the traditional throaty singing, you need a lot of careful training to do that. I won't even bother with that part of it because my voice is my money maker.

LE3lite, it took me six months to learn how to do it if you increase the volume of the bass note that might work your throat must be wet also singing a higher bass note works
