  • che grande cagata......

  • @franztenor Often times, those that are the furthest away from really understanding any new, innovative vocal technique ideas and are VERY quick to be judgmental because they don't understand it and actually, harbor fear about it. But listen, its not wrong. The things I am teaching are just contemporary and you can do both. He is also just referring to the distorted scream. At TVS we train more than just that. He would like to believe its just about screaming, but its not. TVS is legitimate.

  • I showed your "falsetto is NOT head voice" to a guy who is undoubtedly a lover of opera (read that: A snob) He thinks you're just screaming, and that "real" singing is when you do a chest-sounding high C, like Pavarotti does. Could one get that very operatic sound from this sort of training? Or rather, if I trained with this, would I then have the ability to switch between a more neutral sound and a heavy covered sound?

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama ... this makes me a little angry... typical response from some Classical "snob" that actually is just jealous and bitter because honestly, he probably can't do it. I have dealt with this my entire career. Some old school singers and teachers feel threatened by it because it rubs against what they were always told and they hate to see another voice coach innovate and come up with new ideas...

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama I have always been a preferred target. Other voice teachers either understand and respect me and my work, or they fall into another category. Jealous, confused and feel threatened. They say, you must be over the target, if your catching flak. My career experience with my colleagues in the business is perfectly described by this statement. I will say however, there are other Classical types that DO appreciate my work, most so. Some cant get past themselves.

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama BTW... this video above... this is old stuff... I leave it up because its now kinda nostalgic and fun... but I would agree... there are a few scenes where I am kinda "screaming"... but that was the point, thats what I was trying to do. If you review my latest tutorials and performances on "Pillars 2.0", your friend will see a teacher and voice that has evolved.

  • @roblunte What I REALLY want to do is combine regular singing with the covering of operatic singers like Luciano Pavarotti. Thus, keep a deep sound while singing very high. But if it were really possible, wouldn't people be doing it already? Or perhaps it is very subtle? Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about? : )

  • @roblunte Hey, don't back down. I don't think you were ever "screaming". The reason I asked the question is because I, myself, am feeling a bit insecure. I saw you on a different video doing a siren, and your voice stayed fairly neutral a LONG ways, and only started getting high pitched on the last two or three notes at the top of your range. My voice gets high-pitched near the A4 mark. I'm sure that I simply need to keep training and strengthening my voice, though. But. . . .

  • @AtariMaxiToriyama To claim this is just "screaming" is completely ridiculous. Does it sound like "just screaming" to you? Really? Does it sound like Screaming?... or does it actually sound like a refined, trained vocal sound someone worked on with control and merit? Ill let you decide. This sound IS the sound that theater and Classical singers are making. Its mostly about laryngeal configuration, vowel modification and the amount of pharyngeal resonance you CHOOSE to use. Its a choice. Yes.

  • Your students are very impressive.
