  • @AtariMaxiToriyama And, to clarify, ALL singing of all styles and ranges has most of the resonance in your head. There is no substantial chest resonance, as shown by years of scientific study of the human voice. All strong resonance for everything in the human voice is in the vocal tract.

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama Sorry, but you can't just decide your own facts. On the well-cited article at Wikipedia, the best statement that could be agreed upon is "The use of this term varies widely within vocal pedagogical circles and there is currently no one consistent opinion among vocal music professionals regarding this term."

    And what do you mean "those who actually sing" ? That's a lame unfounded attempt at ad hominem and appeal to authority and only shows your ignorance.

  • @nphony I completely disagree! (Haha!) Many professionals agree on what head voice is. It's your upper range, where most of the resonance is in your head.

    Quite simple, really. I think it's even more obvious and true for those who actually sing.

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama Head voice is one of those poorly defined throwaway terms nobody agrees about.

  • "all idea behind improvisation,is simply emotion... it's just the courage to keep going"

    Legendary Bobby McFerrin

  • @Logarithm21

    Yeah, why would I watch a lesson without doing the exercises?

  • Master of Masters!

  • He has a very flexible tongue.

  • lol "my name is bobby mcferrin"
