Hey Gene, thank you so much! :)

You're very welcome! That is completely normal for a tenor voice :)

Hi there! Thanks for leaving a comment! I can try, but I cannot be completely accurate unless I hear you! From what you're saying, it looks like you might actually be a baritone, or a tenor who does not know how to access the passaggio, but, as you said you are singing as a tenor, it might be because of the qualities of your voice, so you may be indeed a tenor, if this is the case, your voice should extend as a minimum to a C5, without falsetto, but knowing how to access your high register, which can be very difficult and take even a couple of years, depending on every person of course! I would invite you to get personalised coaching if you want to develop your voice further. I hope you find my answer helpful! :)

Hello Ken, thanks for asking! It took me approximately 2 years of work to be able to sing that high C5, so I always had the voice, I was only lacking the knowledge and the technique to access my high register. I hope you find my answer helpful! :)

@@CARLOORLANDI1 Good to know! Thanks for your response. I started singing recently and I thought of myself as a baritone at first because I struggled so much on higher notes. My friend who is a teacher listened to me and instructed me to keep my tongue forward and use more resonance. After working on this technique for two weeks I can now do a good A4 and an okay Bb4. I can only squeak a C5 now. Hopefully one day I can reach a good C5! I just subbed to your channel- great videos :)

@@KenWangpiano Thanks for subscribing Ken! And also for sharing this with us, I'm sure your story will serve as inspiration to others in a similar situation; and congratulations on your improvement!

Hello there, thanks for leaving a comment! Opera is wonderful, if you're interested in any of my programs, you can have a look at them here: carloorlandi.com/ I hope you find my answer useful! :)

Hi there! There is a link to the original video where you will find those tips... you can see it in the lower part of the short :)

Hello Javier, thanks a lot for asking that question, it helps and contributes to all of us! As you exhale, your abdomen should slowly go back to its natural position, as you inhale, your belly pops out a little bit, during the exhalation it is the opposite. I hope my answer is helpful! :)

@@CARLOORLANDI1 yes, thanks a lot

Thank you very much for your comment! Indeed I find this repertoire closer to my natural sound, it's still a challenge in particular for all the coloraturas, runs and ornamentations, but looking at the vocal characteristics, I also see myself there :)

Hi Brian, thanks for leaving this comment! You are contributing and helping fellow singers on the same journey! ;) The passaggio is the moment you must switch from one register to the other (chest voice to head voice), but I advise not doing this change here, but from way before, I explained this in a few videos, the mixed voice should be used, in most cases, not all... from your lowest to your highest note, to achieve a beautiful balanced sound and resonance, and if done correctly, the passaggio disappears... if you start doing all the processes that are required for the passaggio to take place from before you get there. So there is no note for this, just a difference in the mix... in your low register, you use more chest voice in the mix, and in the high register, you use more head voice in that mix. Now, the passaggio will really be there, but you won't feel it, if you're doing everything right. However, you need to know where your passaggio naturally sits in your own unique voice, so you are aware, if you are a tenor, in most cases, this will be anywhere from a natural F4 to a G#4, it also depends, of course, on the repertoire you are singing, if too dramatic, or lighter, so you can adjust your technique accordingly... The right approach should always provide you with lots of flexibility. If you are interested in this, I offer a deep dive-in lesson on the passaggio 100% for free, it only lasts 29 minutes, here is the link: vipsinging.com/vocal-mastery I hope you find my answer useful! :)

Amen! :)

Thanks for leaving a comment, you’re very welcome!

He is very good on that for sure! Hehe

You’re very welcome! 🙂

Hi Brian! Thank you for asking, it’s a fantastic question! That hoarseness only makes it easier for you to access notes that you could also access in a normal condition with the right technique, in reality, when your voice is not in its best condition, like when you have hoarseness… the sound you produce is closer to a vocal fry, meaning, closer to no pitch. Now, for the C5, there no a specific age for you to sing it, but I would say you would be able to do it at around 16-19 years old, if your voice has already transitioned; And for the voice maturation, it is often reached in your thirties, often at around age 35, and it is possible to delay it, but this would require medical advice, and the best thing to drink for hoarseness is water at room temperature, also, resting your voice! Maybe for a few days or even a week, the reason your voice gets raspy is because the outermost layer of your vocal folds, the epithelium, is not in its best condition, caused by either dehydration or abusing your voice, getting a flu or cold, there are many reasons! But water and resting will solve this. I hope you find my answer useful! :) And for the eggs… it’s impossible. Anything you drink or eat never gets in contact with your vocal folds, not even water! There is a different tract, called the esophagus, where food and water go through and never passes through your larynx, where you have your vocal folds :)

​@@CARLOORLANDI1 Thank you

Hey Javier! You're very welcome! :)

You're very welcome Gene! I'm glad it helped!

Ciao Giovanni! Si, sono Italiano :)

Hi there! Thank you so much ☺️

Hi there! I was missing you hehe, thank you for watching it! I send my best wishes 😊

and i don’t know my vocal type either i can’t sing below D3 with comfort when i try to sing an A2 it’s almost inaudible but my chest voice taps out around G2-F2 with vocal fry i can go down to D2-C2 and my highest note is a B5

and my talking voice is around lowest G2 average D3-D#3 highest F3

Hi there! Thanks for leaving a comment, and thank you for sharing this with us! From what you’re saying, this is typical from a tenor voice, although I can’t be sure unless I hear you, it’s almost certain you are a tenor, in regards to the colour of your voice, in most cases, it’s a technical thing, very often related to your larynx position, but there are also biological barriers, it’s possible that your voice is naturally brighter and you are unable to darken it more, but this almost never happens, chances are it’s a technical thing, lowering the larynx and raising your soft palate, helping it with the right support should provide this darker and chesty sound you are looking for, also practising onsets, to make sure there is a full closure of your vocal folds would be helpful; I hope you find my answer useful! 😊

@@CARLOORLANDI1 thank you so much for your answer i will practice more and find a good vocal teacher around my vicinity!

Hi there! Thank you for leaving a comment, this is a great question! It all has to do with the way you approach it, I always advice developing a good mixed voice, and also using other techniques that are very useful for high notes and mastering the Passaggio, I have a short eBook called the Blended Voice available for free here if you’re interested: vipsinging.com/the-blended-voice And also have a free training session available here: vipsinging.com/vocal-mastery I hope you find my answer useful! 😊

@@無名-n2h Hi there! There are many techniques and exercises that could help you achieve this, like vocal sirens, but you need a good understanding of the process, regardless of the piece you want to sing. I offer an eBook for free about the mixed voice and also have free training available for people to sign up, have a look in my channel for “The Blended Voice” and the Free training, I hope my answer is helpful! 😄

Thank you very much! :)

Hi there! That's correct! :)

​@@CARLOORLANDI1 is there a way to thicken our mixed voice at high D5???

Hi there! I don't do it, but it could be done by anyone, if that is your intention, remember it is done for expression, and to follow the structure of the piece, for example: in Ave Maria, you would use a soft onset, as any other onset or offset would not be in line with the style of the piece, I hope my answer makes sense :)

Hola! No, nací en Venezuela. Pero le tengo mucho cariño y aprecio a Puerto Rico y toda su gente, tengo excelentes amigos muy humildes y trabajadores que son de allá! Saludos!! :)

Hola Raquel! Muchas gracias por tan bellas palabras, amen! que así sea, deseo enviarte también mis mejores deseos y darte las gracias por este mensaje y por tu apoyo, que es invaluable para mi!

Hi there! Thank you for leaving a comment! For this, you need mixed voice and twang, I have recently published an eBook about how to sing using the mixed voice, it's completely free if you're interested, use this link: vipsinging.com/the-blended-voice

You're very welcome!

Hey Marcos! Thank you for leaving a comment! You are correct; my lowest note is a G2, and I rarely sing it, as usually at a C3 I start to struggle, of course with the right technique you do it. Still, I really begin to struggle with notes below an E3. For what you are saying, you are most likely a tenor, I cannot be 100% sure but those characteristics are often found in tenor voices. :)

@@CARLOORLANDI1 Thanks for answering. That's great. G2 is a note that I can only reach depending on the time of day and other things. At night, my voice usually stops between G2 and G2#. Richard Miller wrote that the lyric tenor usually has a range of G2-C3 when lowering the larynx (strohbass), which he doesn't consider very healthy. As for the high notes, I'm still a beginner and I avoid them. For me, it's enough to raise the volume of my voice to reach an F4#, which would be a difficult note for a baritone. But yesterday, for example, I did a D5, just focusing on raising the soft palate, it's not difficult, and I already did a pretty good A4#. But I'm taking it slow so as not to take risks. Do you think you're a leggero tenor?

Hi Marcos! I really appreciate you telling me this, I enjoy reading this kind of story, I do not believe 100% in those classifications or what others would call your "Fach", as I think with the right technique you can master many pieces, although it is undeniable that being able to do something might not be healthy in the long run, as not all sets of muscles are good for dramatic Arias, and not all sets of muscles are good for acrobatic Arias full of ornamentations like Baroque Music; but answering your question, I would see myself more as a leggero or lyric-leggero tenor, I can sing in a very dramatic way with a big and loud voice, but I don't feel it natural for my voice, I feel much more comfortable singing lighter pieces, perhaps also because of my personality, I happen to enjoy them more hehe. I hope this answers your question! If you are really interested in all of this, I invite you to have a look at my new eBook. If you find the video about "The Blended Voice" in my channel, there is a link for you to get it for free. I also have an online free training session-again, all for free, and you may enjoy it! Kind Regards! :)

Hey! Thanks for leaving a comment! Hehe, all voices are great! There are some Arias from the Baroque I period wish I could sing, but they're too low! XD
