very true, i just started to sing the notes i cannot hit that easily in falsetto so that it becomes more easy, and i feel like its becoming much better in general with that
I sing professionally and I have developed some mixed voice but I am not formally trained. I think of my voice lake the transmission of a car. I had to learn how to shift smoothly.
At 61 I’m losing my head voice. Very much like you demonstrated. In singing I’ve been a 2 nd tenor. Not sure what I am now but I feel cord closure is what I new to build or rebuild 😊
@Rich-i4c I'd have to hear you but you may be right. I'm glad you're not blaming it on your age! You can build or rebuild your head voice now. Diod you download my free book with the THF system video? The link is on thios page and the video may really help you! It's all free...Thanks!
i feel like one can experience mix voice if they sing "uh-Ooo-AH" - "uh" for chord engagement, "oo" to incorporate head voice, "ah" to lift the soft palate. mixing is just mixing vowels to reach multiple spots of resonance at once - just a theory. but singing vowels is not enough. i can sing powerful vowels, but singing words induces strain for me so i don't consider myself a real singer. but i'd be curious to know if maybe that vowel combo is helpful for someone else.
A lot of the concepts in this video I have kind of figured out by accident in trying to improve my singing. I can certainly confirm that it all matches my experience. One thing I haven't tried which I will be trying is the idea of starting in falsetto and adding vibrato. Even just trying it while watching the video I could feel things happening that are the direction I want to be going. I have kind of developed my mix voice by accident through trying to learn how to sing specific things, and there's no question that for singing rock (my main genre) it's critical. Still plenty of more work to do, but I can now sing most rock songs which peak at or below the second bridge. Anything between A4 and B4 I sometimes have to adjust how I do it if it's the second half of a show or my voice is fatigued. That said, when it comes to mix voice I do think that between the first and second bridge is a range where flexible singers can do anything from pure chest voice to pure head voice. I do the Chris Cornell song I Am the Highway and it's a G in the chorus and that's a pure chest voice there. On the other hand my band does Peace of Mind by Boston and even though the verses are mostly between the two bridges, the original is pretty much a head voice. I can't quite pull that off but I suspect your exercises will help me get closer.
Great comment and very thoughtful. I love it when singers know their voices as well as you do. I agree with what you said...Some do sing chest between the 2 bridges. I can't and I don't teach it because it can throw the voice out of balance and do harm. But I cannot deny that some can do it well forever.🙂
@@MikeGoodrich I probably do take more risks than is optimal. But I have discovered than I *can* sing in that style, which a lot of people either can't or choose not to, and I really enjoy it. I definitely I figure life is to be spent, not saved :) By the same token, trying to sing in something like a pure head voice between the two bridges as some singers/songs do is tough for me. It's something I have to work on a lot.
Hi Mike, I need to retrain my voice to performance level after throat issues sidelined me at the end of 2018 Trinidadio Bluesfest to performance level. I once had a beautiful first tenor voice in a 52 piece Welsh Choir. Ty Jim
Very encouraging short when you got those beautiful highs the hook 🪝 was set 😊 Thank you Mike I saved and followed and will enjoy your coaching. 🎉 I have plenty of past experience singing soft meows to my cat 😺🐈 so, I will definitely enjoy the 10 minute break through training. And fully expect to be reaching a higher high in 2025❤🎉 :)
5:55 "Can you do a beautiful u", in falsetto. This is rare advice, and bold. To hear this, for the first time ever, is reason enough for me to subscribe, admittedly because I had my own experience confirmed by authority ... BTW I don't think you chose the u for rhyme's sake. The u is before e/i (what English letters to describe these two sounds, I wonder). Maybe not coinci"dentally" the U demands more muscle work maybe even of the jaw, not only mouth, than the a/o.
@@MikeGoodrich Thank you for taking the time to reply, and in advance, for not minding my being bubbly - no need to reply any further. Cheers! Maybe the following sounds interesting: The U. to me, relates to the concept of "voice breaking", somehow. What's more, theorizing in "set theory" (another hobby of mine) the band name "U2" came to mind, and, first time, I relate "With or without You" to the sound of "U2". I started thinking about the English idiomatic issue "to compare to" or "to compare with". Split and opposed opinions which one of both "emphasizes the similarities" (over the differences). I think the U is a bridge in dialogue -that is vital to mankind - between two separate sides being bridged, side of Ao, and side of "a" and "eeh". The latter, I now tend to correlate to "jump" whereas the AO is endurance and support. Even more speculatively said: AO is support, EI is resistance. Never mind my thinking out. I feel inspired, thank you for letting me be, at your place!
@ 11:05 your doing same note with different tonalities... moving your voicebox down, or some other technique? Just thinking out loud, it's about directing the airflow to the resonant cavities of choice? So voicebox, tongue, softplate and embrouchure modifications I would think.
Hi Mike, This Mike from your Fearless singers group. I have little problems hitting high notes in the morning. But as the day goes on I start to struggle hitting the same high note. Why is this?
Hey Mike! Do you talk a lot during the day? What notes are you talking about? In other words, how high? If you're singing them correctly they should be the same any time. There must be something either vocally or environmentally that's affecting you. How about making a short recording of you singing a higher passage in the morning and then the same exact thing later in the day and post them together in the FB group and I'll have a listen and give you feedback!
I’ve got the same issue. For me, it has to do with my degree of being relaxed as well as postural issues that creep in during the day. All that tension and (very subtle) poor posture completely wrecks getting thru the passaggio. I’m golden first thing in the morning.
We used to call everything above the first bridge head voice. No matter how soft or loud. I prefer now to call it mix unless it's a very soft quality (not volume). Head voice now to me is a beautiful soft quality like a soprano although you could refer to everything above the first bridge as mix and simply mixed toward the quality of chest voice in a belt or head voice when singing softly. You can consider that if you're singing correctly you should be in your head voice or mix from the first bridge on up. About E flat or E 4 up.
@@MikeGoodrich Yeah ok. But you still haven't answered my question. Should I feel something? should I be hearing something? So, when I reach E4, what happens?
It's bit of a generalization...a lyric baritone. A heavy baritone can bridge sooner. It's always good to let your voice tell you.🙂 It's pretty accurate most of the time...
So Sorry about What I'm gonna say but How are you teaching us how to sing higher notes when you have breathy tone. When your vocal closure doesn't work properly.
I have reflux sometimes which affects the cords. When I don't have that my tones are very pure . Both loud and soft. And even if they weren't it would not affect what I know and my ability to teach anyone high notes. And do not say that my vocal closure doesn't work properly as you're quite wrong. It's an odd comment.
If you were in North Hollywood, it must’ve been. You were in the Seth Riggs camp? You were a great baseball player as a kid, and you gave vocal lessons to Cristine, who became my guitar student…
@@danosullivanmusic I did play a lot of baseball so that must be me! Hey Dan, how are you? Thanks for saying hi! I looked at your channel and you sound great...are you still performing a lot?
"They're not really the subject of this video". That is a pity, it seems to be what I'd view a "crush your high notes" video for. Reaching higher in chest voice is useful, but one can usually get head voice to cover those pitches. Unfortunately there's a further block before the counter tenor stuff is achieved. Can you link to your video that really does cover high notes, please ?
A lot of people find head voice easy but break between chest and head hence need mixed voice. And songs in rock would sound ridiculous if the chest or mixed register is covered by head voice with male voices at least e.g. Layne Stanley from Alice In Chains or Chris Cornell from Sound Garden etc.
To sing rock you have to have a killer mix. Pulled chest will trash the voice and pure head voice is too weak. That's why a singer has to know what they're doing and master their mix...That's what I've been teaching for over 30 years...🙂
Hi can hit high notes... just channel the old 9-Lives cat food commercial... "Mooorisss... Time for Din Din!"... LOL! But trying to do 80's hair metal., especially as an old guy... sounds lousy. Is there some trick to those sounds? Or just pop... Was trying to cover "The Cure - Pictures of You"... I naturally sing it at A2... slapped the track in a DAW and analyzed it... Robert Smith is at A3... I try to sing at that note... sounds lousy... yet I can actually reach much higher... So same question... What's trick to sounding *good* in pop and rock contexts in the ranges the hits are composed at? 'nother example... John Fogarty (Creedence Clearwater)... Tenor(?) with some sort of rasp.
A lot of the Fogerty stuff ranges between C4 and A4. He actually doesn't go really high like Journey/Zeppelin/Aerosmith/ACDC, etc, but he mostly stays in a tenor range from just below the first bridge mentioned in the video up to around the second bridge. So unless you're naturally a relatively high tenor, you'll have to do something different than when you sing lower. The rasp you refer to goes by several names - "vocal fry" is how the people I play with describe it. For Creedence, it indeed is a mix voice by anyone's definition of mix voice. But learning how to sing between the first and second bridge in mix voice is just a precondition for singing with the rasp. I agree with Mike -you have to develop a mix voice but you also have to develop a rasp if it doesn't come naturally. How to develop the rasp is not easy to describe in a paragraph or two comment, and it varies by person. But for me and many people I know one key thing is that the rasp comes from the top of your throat, not down in your chest or the bottom of your throat. That is a misconception I was under and changing it has been the biggest help for me in developing a rasp.
100%! This will work for any style of singing. Just like a beautiful piano can be played in any style a pianist can feel, stylize and interpret, once the voice is built you can 'play' anything you can interpret. With one exception: For example, I love opera and can sing arias, however, my voice is not of operatic proportions so although I can sing it, opera would not be a career choice for me. But musical theater is totally in my wheel hose.🙂
It depends on how heavy the baritone is. There have been many operatic baritones who can sing a great B flat, B and even high C. They just can't hold the tessitura of a tenor...
@@MikeGoodrich my problem is this: I can (could) sing high notes - let's say I "catch" them. The problem is they don't sound good: the higher I get, the less natural those high notes (i.e. my voice) sound.
@@senzanome7801 I would think you're exactly the type of singer that the exercises in this video can help. Starting in falsetto and working towards making it sweeter is one good way to get those notes sounding better. I'm a natural baritone, a fairly low one, but I have learned how to sing a lot of the rock songs in the higher tenor range. Some sound better than others but it's certainly possible. I'm sure everyone has a natural limit, but you'll never actually know what it is, you just have to keep on working on improving your range and the quality of the notes in your range.
@@parrottheband thanks for answering. Just to make an example: I never succeeded in singing "House of the rising sun" the way Eric Burdon used to sing it in the '60s. Not even when I was twenty and I regularly trained singing. I succeeded in singing the falsetto screams of Ian Gillan in "Child in time" but that's falsetto, it's not natural voice.
You spend too much time explaining why and begging for us to stay with you - clip that out, get to the "here it is" moment and your 17 minute video is a ten minute master class.
@@MikeGoodrich sorry about that. more the point than the word but I could have chosen a more appropriate one. I NEED guidance like this, but every pod-teacher does this same thing.
